I have been a paid subscriber for 4 years. This is the first time I've felt the need to say something. The app has always looked smart, professional and unique with it's own identity compared to the majority of other platforms. Last night UK time 22:20 I suddenly noticed a dramatic shift in the appearance of the profile account page. It now looks cheap and naff, with a cheap font that is bigger and softer with more space between each thing yet the training log, activities and media role are crammed together in a small set of columns. It is terrible. Strava identity was well established on the app and to have the media roll with a short preview across the top, smarter more readable font and less info in more manageable areas looked so much more professional. Now it looks childlike and like any other lowly platform. Strava had a well established look, now it doesn't stand out as much. It's not as neat and it is not an app I recognise after 4 years. My enjoyment and enthusiasm for the app has instantly downgraded. We know developers need something to do - but this is not it. Please return the app appearance to the original and go fix your maps instead. This is more important. When creating routes - most of the time you can't snap to a road or public footpath because it jumps and goes round a longer route you don't want. Please fix these issues and stop messing with things that are already great.

You should write that to the Strava support. This is a user forum for the Strava API, you won’t reach anyone working for Strava here.
