I cannot understand why the Strava Team is ignoring this.

Hey, what comes from this? I’ve received zero response from Strava in over 2 weeks other than a “thanks for submitting” email. If they created an API, why is it such a hassle to use it?

This is truly a disappointing experience, I hope Strava improve from this in the future.

I’m hoping strava take a look on integrations requrest, since seems like everyone having same issues.

App: WorkItOut (Android indoor cycling app)
Client ID: 225634
Submitted: May 6, 2026
Status: No response. Followed up via email (developers@strava.com) on May 21 — received only the standard auto-reply directing me back to the form.

Adding my name to the list. The app is fully compliant with brand guidelines (official Connect with Strava button, Powered by Strava badges on all relevant screens) and is currently in internal testing on the Play Store. Launch is blocked until the athlete limit is lifted.

Happy to coordinate on any collective outreach if this thread goes that route.

The posts in this thread mean nothing to the Strava API team or what? I do not understand why they do nothing about this.
