Group Challenge improvements (allow non subs to participate but not create, and put it on the web)

[plants4jim]

I've been a subscriber for quite a while, but aside from supporting an app I really enjoy, don't really use any paid feature or enjoy any benefit from it. One that I liked the idea of is group challenges, but it seems so bodged by Strava that it is pointless.

Firstly quick and to the point, put it on the website. A lot of people don't use the app very often, why is the web platform missing so much basic functionality from the app??

Now the real request. Please make group challenges more useful by allowing non subscribers to participate. The 3 challenge limit is pointless and it's not going to encourage anyone to subscribe, it's just going to discourage subscribers from bothering to use this feature that they are paying for. Fair enough, don't let non subscribers create their challenges, but let them participate and engage with the platform. I don't create challenges because my friends would quickly be unable to use them anyways. Get people more engages by letting them to participate and they may feel like subscribing. Instead the features so limited it makes me question why I am subscribing aside from trying to support this app.

Thanks.

This will bring a further incentive for subscribers if this is implemented. As a subscriber, I don’t create group challenges because my friends aren’t able to join them.

Your idea has been shared with the product team. Right now, we aren't exploring the possibility of changing this this feature in the way you describe, and your suggestion will be archived. Please understand that we  receive a very high volume of feature requests, and cannot realistically implement all of them in the foreseeable future. Thank you for taking the time to submit your idea and we look forward to your continued engagement in the Community Hub.

We recently posted an update to the way group challenges work in terms of who can participate.
