Recently, the Fitbit app was rebranded and changed to the new Google Health app. Since this change, the activities I have recorded on these third-party apps have had the activity distance cut/reduced when syncing into the Strava app. *NOTE: title should say distance*I am wondering if this is some sort of parsing issue which needs to be resolved, is a result of the app rebrand, or is a user-related issue I need to address. I have attached four runs, two during the Fitbit app (before the rebrand/change), and two during the Google Health app (after the rebrand/change). Run 1 and Run 2 respectively are essentially identical between the platforms with differences of 0.01 km, which I’m not fussed about. Run 3 is different by 340 metres and you can see the difference in start location on the Google Health map compared to the Strava map. Run 4 is different by 270 metres but the start locations are both correct. The activity durations between the platforms are only different due to ho

Hi,We are developing an application to promote local challenges on Strava segments based on a community of runners in the different cities.We have already submit a request for review and provide answers to indicate how we are compliant with your terms of service. But since 1 month we have no feedback from Strava. Could you please check the status, we would like to release a beta version of our app and we already have many testers ready to participate.Best regards

How about having a coloured crown if you achive an age group kom when you upload a ride for it to be visable to all followers etc be a nice little addition to premium members. 

Hello Strava Team, I created an application called Pace 10 for a local running team in Brazil. The app synchronizes Strava activities and generates mileage rankings for runners. My application is currently limited to 1 connected athlete, and I would like to request an increase so more members of our running team can connect their Strava accounts. Client ID: 253030 Thank you for your support.

Hi,would it be possible to add a unicycle as a part of cycle sports? Thanks

Can I have a refund? I accidentally purchased a one year subscription but I don't use strava everyday and it was a family member that accidentally purchase it .I don't want to purchase a subscription. I hope the developers can read this. I need my money back I need that money for my school tuition fee. Thanks in advance 

Hi all,I'm the developer of OpenSwim Forecast, an open water swimming conditions and coaching app that integrates with Strava to read and visualize swim activities (HR zones, laps, route maps, device water temperature). It's live on the iOS App Store with an Android build in progress, and has an active user base syncing swims via Strava.I've submitted requests through the developer support process for an athlete count limit increase and a rate limit increase for production use (tickets #14733, #14559, #15019). The athlete cap is currently the practical blocker, new users hit the limit and can't connect.A couple of questions for anyone who's been through this:1. Is there a typical timeline for production access / athlete cap reviews, or a way to tell whether a ticket is actively in the queue versus waiting on something from my side?2. Is there specific information reviewers like to see up front to speed things along — privacy policy, brand-compliance

Hi, I submitted my app to the Strava API Program on April 20, 2026 and received the automated acknowledgment the same day (it mentioned a 7–10 business day review). It's now been about six weeks with no further response, so I wanted to ask about the status here.App name: RidePlanner Client ID: 209789 App URL: https://roadplanner-two.vercel.app Requested athlete limit: 1000 (currently limited to single-player mode) Scopes: read, activity:read, profile:read_allI've also emailed developers@strava.com as a follow-up. Is there anything else I should do, or anyone who can check the review queue? Thanks!

Hi, How can I connect STRAVA to HONOR smart wotch? 

I noticed that the current route module documentation only lists limited information for route type and subtype values, mainly covering rides (type 1) and runs (type 2) with limited subtypes. Documentation reference: https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-models-RouteWhile testing manually, I found additional undocumented values, for example:Gravel ride route → type = 6, subtype = 4Mountain bike route → type = 7, subtype = 4It would be very helpful if the documentation could include a complete reference of all available route types and subtypes, including their numeric mappings and meanings.Thanks in advance

Hi Strava Developers,I have sent several requests over the last month to gain access to the production API for my application.I have not received any response.Can this please be reviewed and responded to?Best,Jack

About a month ago, Strava changed the Personal Heatmap feature. It has always been one of my favorite features of the app and one of the main reasons I'm willing to pay for an annual subscription.Since the update, the Personal Heatmap has become barely visible, making it almost completely unusable. As a result, a feature that was once extremely valuable is now effectively useless.Routes only become somewhat visible if I have completed them multiple times. However, if I climb a summit or hike a trail just once, it often doesn't appear on the Personal Heatmap at all. Before this change, the feature worked brilliantly and provided a clear visual record of where I had been. Now, it is a major disappointment.You can barely notice the Personal Heatmap in this example—it runs from the far right side of the screen all the way to the far left:

Is there a way to shut off chairlift rides for biking? I believe this is a feature for skiing. I want to keep my bike stats for my park bike but this makes it difficult.  

There is currently a bug in the “Share Activity” feature where the underlying map in the image gets zoomed out independently of the GPS track. This happens with all activities, but for reference I have attached an example from my most recent bike ride. 

Hello Strava Team, I am requesting production access approval and an athlete connection limit increase for my application. Client ID: 161609App Name: VorcelabRequest increase: Production app approval + athlete connection limit increase to 1000 athletesDate submitted: May 11, 2026 Vorcelab is a running and trail training analysis application connected to Strava. The app allows users to connect their own Strava account through OAuth and import their own activities in order to analyze training history, workload, elevation, effort distribution, progression and performance trends. The application is designed to provide training insights and coaching-related analysis based on the authenticated athlete’s own data. It does not replicate Strava’s social features, does not expose other athletes’ private data, and does not allow users to access data from athletes who have not explicitly authorized the app. 

Hi Strava Team,We submitted our Developer Program form on 3 May 2026 and received the confirmation email the same day. It has now been nearly 4 weeks with no update, which is well past the 7-10 business day estimate mentioned in the confirmation.App details:App Name: SSA Challenges App Client ID: 250614 Associated Club: Supplement Superstore Fitness Club Requested Limit: 500 athletesWe're an Australian supplements business using the API to run monthly fitness challenges for our customer community. We only require read access to activity data for challenge leaderboards.Could someone please check on the status of our review? We have participants waiting to connect.

Hello Strava Team,I am officially requesting to move my application to Production mode to lift the current 1-athlete limit and begin public beta testing.Application Information:- Name: RunMyTrack- Client ID: 167824- Website: https://runmytrack.com- Privacy Policy: https://runmytrack.com/privacyProject Description:RunMyTrack generates running playlists calibrated zone-by-zone to the user's pace and heart-rate zones. The app uses Strava activity data to auto-fill cadence, max HR, and recent race pace, which it uses to calculate precise BPM targets for each training zone (Z1–Z5). Every track in the playlist is matched to the runner's actual cadence, so the music naturally drives effort instead of fighting it.Strava API Usage:We use the API in read-only mode to:- Read the user's recent activity history to extract average cadence and pace- Read max HR from activity streams for heart-rate zone calibration

I understand this has already been posted in the forum and I’m also aware that Strava is currently experiencing delays in responding to API request. I just want to post this to let Strava know that I am on the same boat as I cannot reply to other threads. I have made my initial request on 31 Mar, and have received email to resubmit my application with further details on Apr 4. I have resubmitted on Apr 4 and have followed up with 2 emails on Apr 16 and Apr 22 respectively. My client ID is 218512, thank you Strava for reading and hopefully I will get my respond soon!

Hi everyone, I’m building a Morse Code Translator website that uses an external API for real-time text-to-Morse and Morse-to-text conversion. The platform works well initially, but during continuous typing or rapid requests, the API responses become delayed and sometimes return outdated or incomplete data. This creates inconsistent translations on the frontend and affects the overall user experience.The application uses JavaScript Fetch API with asynchronous requests, and I suspect the issue is related to request handling, overlapping responses, or API rate limits. I’ve also noticed occasional timeout and CORS-related errors when multiple requests are triggered quickly. Since the translator updates results live while users type, managing

Has anyone experienced submitted the athlete limit increase form and not hearing definite answer about your application? I’ve submitted and followed up by email but haven’t gotten a response. Saw this reply in a different thread, but having followed up by email and not getting a reply I’m stuck on what to do next. Thanks!
