Please add a SORT OPTION for My Strava Segments

Please provide a SORT OPTION for My Strava Segments. Having over 500 segments managing them is a nightmare, especially when Garmin limits the number to 100 (Garmin says it is Strava that is the problem here). Rather than indulging in AI gimmickry (that mainly describes the obvious and is therefore of little use), please sort out the (easy) basics first..

Feedback On: Club "Event Insights" Feature - Problems and solutions

I’m a club admin and I was excited when I saw this feature pop up on my phone - Score!  This will be useful!  And then I was disappointed.  The feature says “Get a snapshot of who attended, and use that info to grow your Club.”, but this is very misleading.  Here’s why:It uses as +/- 15 minute window from the event start time to find riders who joined.  That’s a HUGE mistake.  We often have 40+ people show up for rides and always allow 5-minutes grace period before starting, THEN we gather everyone together to provide ride information, THEN we organize into pace groups, etc.  Sometimes we manage this within 15-minutes of the official ride start time (really gathering time).  Sometimes we don’t.  The time window needs to be longer.  Alternatively, you need to let club administrators set the time window.  Or you need us to have a separate publicly listed start time (i.e., what is shown on the event RSVP) and an anticipated start time (e.g., 10 minutes later) that Club Admins can set behi

Filer out bad data

 I don't understand why Strava continues to have points where it gets bad GPS data and suddenly jumps your location by a mile and then back to the correct position.   If I'm walking clearly this isn't possible. It seems it should be pretty easy to programmatically detect these outliers and remove them.

new version ui doesn’t work on iPhone

I have the latest app version on my iPhone 15 (iOS 18), but the user interface does not feature the latest design. I deleted and re-installed the app a couple of times but the problem remains. This is really annoying. Any comments on this are greatly appreciated.

Live Segments not useful in mixed terrain. Am I using the wrong feature?

Hi everyone,I'm trying to improve my times on nearby segments using Strava Live Segments, but I’m struggling to get any real value from it in my region.This might be fine in flat areas or velodromes, but as most of the people, I ride in a 3D world. In my area, it’s impossible to go anywhere without climbing or descending: 150 meters of elevation gain and loss every 10 kilometers is just a normal ride. But the real issue isn't the hills themselves. Live Segments could still be useful on a long, steady climb or descent. The problem is the alternation between flat, climbing, and descending sections, which makes pacing truly important, and the feature almost useless.What I really want is to pace myself realistically against my own past efforts. I don’t care how others perform on the segment; I just want a real, effort-based comparison with my own ride history. I understand that Strava might not be able to show other’s pacing or strategy data due to intellectual property rights or privacy c

new maps Personal colors are illegible

I heavily use the Personal heat maps feature, specifically the Red and Blue colors because they were the most legible. However, after the recent Maps update, these colors have changed and now I find it much harder to see. Now it'sore like the other colors, which have always been hard to see.

I’ve started seeing the ‘Plan your weekend ride’ carousel at the top of my feed. Does anyone know how to switch this off? It’s showing me rides that are miles away from my location.

[Resolved] Flyover Playback - low frame rate/choppy

The Flyover thing is kinda nice, but as I play through  an activity the frame rate progressively degrades on my iPhone 15. On longer rides, it can drop as low as 1 frame per second. January 16th: UPDATE FROM STRAVAHello and thank you to everyone who posted here.We are aware of this issue and are currently investigating. I will post any updates here when they become available. Sorry for the issue and we ask for your patience while we work on getting it fixed.

Strava only giving average speed on bike

 I’ve been a paid subscriber for many years and the appom my iPhone 16 promax just started to show only average yesterday. Is there a setting that changed?GPS works fine, but the app just started to say the GPS is intermittent today. Mapmyride works fine (I always have MapMyRide running in the background and have for years because Strava has failed a few times over the years and luckily I had Mapmyride running to save the stats (MMR has NEVER failed me)Is there now some kind of adjustment for the app to show live speed? (Bicycle)I’m going to erase and reinstall and try it. Will report if any difference Thanks

Weekly log - Strength bug

There seems to be a bug with the weekly log whilst tracking strength exercises, when completing a strength exercise, it doesn't count towards weekly log.Although it shows a dot on the graph which is accurate, "current" still shows as 0, and "to go" still shows 2. Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place, I'm new here lolThanks

List of supported FIT manufacturer/product IDs for device recognition

Hi Strava team,I was reading through the info on developers.strava.com/docs/uploads about how devices are detected from FIT files using the manufacturer and product fields.I'm working on a small project where I compare GPS performance between different devices — for example, two watches worn during the same race — to analyze things like drift and accuracy. I’m generating FIT files from that data, which include the manufacturer and product ID fields as specified in the FIT format.I’d like Strava to show the correct device name when those files are uploaded, if possible.Just wondering: Is there a list somewhere of which manufacturer and product ID pairs in FIT files are recognized by Strava and mapped to device names? Thanks a lot — this would really help make the activity display clearer in the context of my tool.Regards,Arthur

Lap Data on User Profile

I am building a web-based calculator that helps athletes estimate how much time they need to complete a specific lap based on their previous activity data.I would like to ask: Is it allowed to access a user’s lap data from their Strava profile using the API, with their permission and proper authentication? Are there specific scopes or limitations I should be aware of when requesting lap-level data? Can this data be used to provide insights or time predictions back to the authenticated user, as part of my app?

disable suggested goals and constant reminders

Is it possible to disable everything goal related? It seems incessant lately. I signed up and pay for an app to record my activities. I couldn't care less about the screen wasting goal suggesting and constant artificial validation.

Upcoming occurences of recurring club events show first date only

Hi there,retrieving the club events from the api-endpoint /clubs/:id/group_events shows only the first date in the upcoming_occurences property even if there is a weekly or monthly interval set. Even if this date is in the past what for sure is no upcoming date :)This seems to have changed in the meantime as it worked before. Back then the upcoming_occurences array has been populated with future dates.Has anybody experienced the same behavior? Cheers,Tobi

Strava does not sync Swim activity from Apple Watch

Hello,Today, I forgot my Garmin watch and recorded a swim activity with my Apple Watch. I saved it after, and when I got home it was not synced. I forced the sync via the Apple Watch Stava app, but the activity is nowhere to be found. I forced restarted the Apple Watched and the iPhone, nothing. I even downloaded an app called GPX Export as suggested in another thread, but the workout is not there. I am afraid that the activity is gone - my wife had the same experience a week ago. Any thoughts?Thanks!P.S: I recorded a dummy swim activity when I got home, and it showed on the iPhone right away.

Apple Multisport activities showing up as 1 activity

I completed a Bike and Run multisport activity using the apple fitness app. After uploading to Strava it is shown as one continuous activity. I know other smart watches upload as separate activities and would be nice if it was the same with apple fitness as you do not see any segments or average speed data for the individual sports and the transition is not accounted for either .

Excluding activities from PB/PR

Hi Strava community,I am pretty new to running, only starting in April of this year. I have made many silly mistakes so far, but the biggest (tracking wise) has been using the Run-GPS when using a treadmill. I did this for about 2 weeks before realizing the impact it had. I’d like these runs to not count towards my PBs/PRs but still be in my activity feed/overall totals. I have seen a few options from my searches such as flagging them, or changing them to ‘workouts’ instead of ‘runs’, but I’m concerned it would mess with my numbers. So, please let me know what would be the best course to keep my mileage and number of runs, but exclude these from my personal bests.Thanks so much!
