My app seems to have updated recently and now the Strava route suggestions is not working.

It will not come up with any routes when I ask for hills, hard efforts, off road etc from my location even though it used to have dozens of suggested routes.

If you remove some of the filters, eg difficulty, it might come up with a supposedly hilly route that is pancake flat, and not starting anywhere near your location.

It really isn't fit for purpose at the moment, which is really frustrating as it is the main reason I pay for premium .

I have kinda the same issue :

Since the latest android app update, automatic route creation based on parameters (distance, surface, height) no longer seems to be working and only some saved routes from other users are suggested.

As I use it to generate routes of +150km, now it no longer finds any routes, where it always used to suggest 3 generated routes.

I have also been using Strava Premium mainly for this specific reason for the last 3 years, making Premium now also mostly useless for me.

I have a temporary workaround :

Route generation is broken as of Strava Android v354.13 (april 10th), but the previous version v353.16 (april 4th) IS still working.

Procedure to rollback:

1) uninstall Strava

2) install APKMirror installer from Play Store

3) download strava v353.16 from the apkmirror website : the bundle version (for me the first download option: 480-640 dpi)  https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/strava-inc/strava-running-and-cycling-gps/strava-running-and-cycling-gps-353-16-release/

4) open the APKMirror Installer app (step 2) and select the downloaded file (step 3)

5) final step *important* : open play store, search for Strava, and UNCHECK "auto update" on the top right 3 dots ...

Et voila, working route generation... for now 🙂

Same here, i used to plan my routes this way, lt's not working anymore

Agreed, Routes does not work anymore.
