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

The app is good overall. It has problems with mapping; features tend to randomly appear and disappear, and sometimes you won't appear as having done a segment despite your route covering it. Worse, however, are the segments themselves; many are complete nonsense, spammy, or badly-thought-out. There is no way to hide them, although you can make them disappear from your analysis.

Needs improvement. Always misses out chunks of your activity, and when questioned always blame it on GPS problems, but I don't have a problem with any other apps like Google maps. Also difficult to create a route for future walks, as it often jumps to a nearby road and won't let you plot a way point on the path you have chosen, or suddenly tries to make you go back and 5 miles out of your way rather than let you pick a way point a few feet from the current one.

Love the social element of the app, and having the option to compete with yourself and others. The rewards system is nice, and I like the challenges as something to motivate me that little bit more. The UI feels a bit unintuitive to navigate, and would like for it to be made a bit more refined, clear, and easier to use. Cyclists can at times ruin leaderboards by incorrectly categorising their activity, so please make sure to flag these times to get them off walking and running leaderboards.

What's new

Hi there! This week we’re adding more context to Leaderboards. You can now see your percentage rank on segment and filtered leaderboards so it’s easier to see where you stand and how you’re improving on your favorite segments.
