A hidden area should be hidden always. 🙂

A hidden area should be hidden always. 🙂I go trough hidden areas at a ride sometimes. But hidden areas will be hidden at the end or start of a ride. It should be hidden at always for privacy.

Is Strava Flybys not working?

I'm trying to view Flybys for today's (and prior) run(s). I'm not seeing anything load (see image below) and I'm seeing a unicode type character referenced in the orange section where I assume the route name would be. I do have Flybys privacy set to allow Everyone to view as well, in case that information is helpful.     Thank you!!

Features mismatch between mobile application and web site

I purchased Strava subscription for the first time. On web site there is end-of-year discount for yearly subscription, on mobile app there is not, so I subscribed using website. Frist what I did was to join training plan using web site. Very soon I discovered that the same plan is not visible on my mobile app. Than I created group challenge on mobile app. Of course, I discovered that this time group challenges are not visible on website. It looks like significant lack of basic communication between teams developing mobile app and website. Very strange and unprofessional.

Viewing Commute Stats

Hi There,I'm wondering if there is a feature where you can review commuting statistics:  I.e. on the number of trips marked 'Commute', your commute Km travelled, and CO2 saved in a particular time period?ThanksCharlie

Disable "Nice work logging an activity"?

Does anybody know how to disable the new "Nice work logging an activity" notification? I don't need a pat on the back every time I complete an activity.

Convenient way to use Fitness & Freshness?

I subscribed to Premium mostly for the extra features. But I find them not very user friendly. I have to either go to the browser and find the page, or open the app and navigate a few steps to find F&F. Would there be any way to find my fitness score or effort via  widget or notification or even API request?The app could give some daily report to help you train more or less. Counting kilometers is really not useful.Thanks!

Inquiry About Strava's Ability to Track Static Activities

Hello Strava Community, I am writing to inquire about the capabilities of Strava in tracking static activities, particularly those involved in cleaning homes or offices. As part of my daily routine, I employ cleaning activities, and I'm interested in using Strava to monitor and record the physical efforts involved. However, I am doubtful whether Strava is optimized for tracking static or non-traditional exercises like cleaning.If any members of the community have experience using Strava to monitor activities such as cleaning, I would greatly appreciate your insights. I am particularly interested in understanding how accurately Strava can capture the energy expended during these static tasks and whether it provides meaningful data related to such activities. Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your knowledge and experiences.

Managing a team/club

We use a Strava club to manage our High School MTB team (like many teams). However, the members include parents and coaches in addition to the athletes. Keeping track of athletes progress is difficult since there's no way to filter out the parents/coaches. It would be wonderful to 'tag' the members and then filter based on the tag but until then, does anyone know of a 3rd party tool that uses that Strava data to do something similar?The ultimate goal is just to see athlete-only data on a weekly basis.

iPhone 8 Low Power Mode Notfications

My wife (65) has an iPhone 8 with 98% battery, it's quite new, but it runs out on long runs so she is trying low power mode that I setup. This allows her to stream a radio station and strava to keep going in excess of 6 hours (she needs that when she tries a marathon).  The announcement comes through starting run, but there is no kilometer announcements so she doesn't know how far she has run. If I take it out of low power mode, the announcements are back. I have looked at the iPhone notifications settings and they are all on for strava and have looked at the in-app settings and they also say the notifications are on. My question is simple: Is there some way I can ensure the kilometer announcements remain on when the phone is put into, or goes into, low power mode? Thanks for any help. Kevin

Bugs in latest version (?)

Hi, first of all I haven't updated this app for a while and there's no problem with the old version. But yesterday, when I tried to update it to the latest version (336.11), there seems to be a bug or something wrong with this latest version. I encountered a few issues:The routes/maps are messy and also the max speed is nonsensical.On the homepage, none of the activities from my friends that i followed are appearing.Can someone please provide a solution, thank you 🙏

Weekly Mileage Total Removed for Free Accounts

I noticed when uploading today that my weekly bicycle mileage is no longer available for my free account. I now have to keep track by hand or by looking at my bike club link to see what the mileage is. The feature has been replaced with the following.

Distance being taken into account on "Workout" activity, leading to wrong data

I've just had a spin class (while wearing a chest heart rate monitor) and, when finishing the activity, I chose a wrong sport by mistake (I don't even know what it was anymore). After editing that (I've tried a bunch since, but it's on "workout" now), it shows an elapsed time of 30+ minutes (which corresponds to actual active time), however it also accounts for a distance of 0.37km (a bunch of jagged lines around the building) and a matching moving time of 5+ minutes, leading to big distortions in the heart rate data and graphs. As I understand it, the "workout" (and others) category should ignore the distance data, no? Perhaps the fact I at first chose a sport that accounts for distance permanently screwed it up and is not being corrected even by editing it? Any suggestions?

Apple Watch SE issues

I have an Apple Watch SE. ever since the new software was downloaded I have been having issues with Strava. It will not start my activity right away and sometimes it will crash and reload mid run.  Am I the only one with these issues?

Course categorization, or difficulty score

Would be great if Strava could categorize courses, or offer some kind of difficulty score.  (GAP doesn't do it).  When watching the Tour de France, they have categories for the hills.  Would be great if you could categorize individual hills during a run, but better yet to categorize the entire course.  Boston may be net downhill, but it's a lot tougher than running a flat course.  Courses that have hills at the end would be more difficult than the hill at the beginning.  There's a lot that goes into that determination, just hoping someone can come up with a good formula.I just think it would be a very interesting conversation piece for people to be able to talk about the difficulty level of the courses they've ran.

Strava Beacon not working anymore

Hey all,I have been trying to get this figured out and I am stumped.  My emergency contact accidentally responded "off" to the automated Strava Beacon text and now they are no longer receiving my strava beacons when I head out for a run.  Anyone else dealt with this?  Do you have any ideas on how to reenable the strava beacon texts? I use a garmin and have had no previous issues.Thanks!

Hidden start & end for virtual rides

Start and end of virtual rides are hidden, at least on Rouvy. Until we are all robots living in the matrix, I'm sure it's ok to disable this.
