Price differences

I just received a notice that my subscription is increasing from US$59 to 79. I live in Taiwan but bill through the US.  At the same time my friend I Taiwan was told hs is decreasing from 59 to 47...Why such wild nations in pricing?  How can they justify  jacking up the price 33% for an existing platform?   I will not renew with such a crazy increase,

auto pause recording

Hello,I am a happy Strava user.I only regret how the "auto pause recording" works.When I record a bike ride, I notice that during each stop (red light, railroad crossing, etc.), the application takes between 15 and 20 seconds before detecting the stop. On the other hand, when I restart, the recording resumes almost instantly.I have already made the comparison using 2 different applications simultaneously on 2 different smartphones.The end result is that the time recorded on Strava is several minutes higher, and therefore the average speed is around 0.5 km/h lower.It's a shame they don't stop recording more quickly when there's no more movement (like other apps do).On the other hand, when driving through undergrowth, the speed is often lower than reality due to poor GPS calculations. It seems that the program "catches up" when we leave this zone, which sometimes makes it say that I drove at more than 100 km/h!Thank you for your opinion

Welcome to the Hub, July 2024 Edition!

Hello Hub members & welcome to July! Thanks for stopping by, we're happy to see you. July brings us to the midway point of the year and for those living in the northern hemisphere July means SUMMER! For many, July brings vacations, ice cream, warm weather, swimming and so much more. If you are one of our neighbors in the southern hemisphere, you’re midway through winter and you may see  a number of visitors heading your way to avoid the heat. If you're into sports, there's a lot to keep up with this month. Keep reading for some of the biggest events happening this July..... Through July 21, you can check out the world’s biggest cycling race; the Tour de France. Fun fact: due to its proximity to the Olympic Games, this is the first Tour to finish outside of Paris! The race will finish up in Nice, France.

Riding time vs elapsed time

I noticed looking at my PR's today that my 100K was third place with 23.5 km/hour. and the time was the total time inclusive coffee and cake. I think there is something wrong (bug) in Strava. Cause my real average was 28 km/hour.

Bike ride with wrong miles (auto pause)

Just got back from a bike ride. And looking at the figures. While I was out I stopped and checked my phone. I did some more miles and stopped again for water. Checked my phone and noticed it was on auto pause. The map moved to where I was when looking. I then clicked un pause and when off again. I checked my phone again and it was on auto pause, I had done more miles and the map moved again to where I was.  It only says I have done 11 miles when I know I have cycled more miles! Is there a way I can change this?

Strava on Apple Watch 3 series

I’ve been using the Strava app on my iPhone 15 for the past few weeks. I have an Apple Watch Series 3 also which I have downloaded the Strava app too. Today when I went for a run I recorded the run via the Strava app on both my phone and watch. My phone said the distance was 8.1km however my watch recorded it as 7.5km. Does anyone know why this has happened and which is likely to be more accurate? Read a few things online saying that Strava on apple watch 3 isn’t great so this may be why? Thank you in advance 🙂

Group Stats

I recently rode with a friend in the same group, his ride was 10k longer at the start & finish. We posted the rides and Strava linked them. I think he posted first, when the group stats are displayed my ride is not in my total for the week. I don't know if it's a one off or its happened before, I've never noticed.Anyone know why?

How to Delete a PR

Hi,I went for a run this afternoon and after about 5 miles, my watch glitched and added extra distance resulting in my split time for the 6th mile being 1m 50s! - Would be nice if it were true! The knock-on effect is that when the run synced to Strava, it set lots of new PRs for 2 mile, 5km & 10km. I don't want to delete the run itself from Strava as it's a record that I went out today, but I would like to delete all of the unrealistic Personal Records that I'm never going to be able to beat in the future. Is this possible? And if so, how?Thanks in advance for your help.

Help! My subscription isn’t working!

I bought the annual subscription two months ago. The transaction is showing in my bank account, but my Strava account hasn’t been upgraded. I’ve tried all of the tips that I could find on here and elsewhere on the internet to no avail. I’ve also tried emailing support on three separate occasions and have not received a response. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
