About this app

Strava makes fitness tracking social. We house your entire active journey in one spot – and you get to share it with friends. Here’s how:

• Record everything – runs, rides, hikes, yoga and over 30 other sport types. Think of Strava as the homebase of your movement.

• Discover anywhere – our Routes tool uses de-identified Strava data to intelligently recommend popular routes based on your preferences. You can also build your own.

• Build a support network – Strava’s about celebrating movement. Here you’ll find your community and cheer each other on.

• Train smarter – get data insights to understand your progress and see how you improve. Your Training Log is the record of all your workouts.

• Move safer – share your real-time location with loved ones while outdoors for an extra layer of safety.

• Sync your favorite apps and devices – Strava is compatible with thousands of them (Wear OS, Samsung, Fitbit, Garmin – you name it). The Strava Wear OS app includes a tile and a complication you can use to quickly launch activities.

• Join and create challenges – join millions in monthly challenges to chase new goals, collect digital badges and stay accountable.

• Embrace the unfiltered – your feed on Strava is filled with real efforts from real people. That’s how we motivate each other.

• Whether you’re a world-class athlete or a total beginner, you belong here. Just record and go.

Strava includes both a free version and a subscription version with premium features.

NOTE ON GPS SUPPORT: Strava depends on GPS for recording activities. In some devices, the GPS does not work properly and Strava will not record effectively. If your Strava recordings show poor location estimation behavior, please try to update the operating system to the most recent version. There are some devices which have consistently poor performance with no known remedies. On these devices, we restrict installation of Strava, for example the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 and the Galaxy Express 2.

Ratings and reviews

Redesigned route maps in the app is dramatically worse than before. Just allow us to choose a start location and a distance and then suggest routes, like was available two days ago. Right now it really sucks, routes don't start nearby, it shows 15km routes when you're asking for up to 70, and it'll show routes starting nowhere near you. Fix it or you'll lose my premium sub.

Tracking the activity is working fine. More customized user interface would be nice. I'd like to edit the appearance of the dashboard with a dark theme to save battery or just show the essentials (speed and heart rate). Unfortunately such common features are not available. Since I have a paid subscription, some more features are available which only show in desktop and not app. Even more disturbing is that Strava is using more than 1,5 GB storage. Not sure for what.

I'm a subscriber and am truly frustrated. It will not synch with either of my watches (Fitbit and Samsung). Fitbit is supposed to be automatic but doesn't happen. I've tried the troubleshooting guidance, to no avail. Samsung only works if you use the app on the phone (but then you lose the Samsung advanced analytics). In both cases the workaround is to export files and upload to Strava (slow and cumbersome). Worst is that the functionality is not in app, only the website, horrible on the phone.
