It'd be so nice to have a sort of "memories" like you have eg in google photos, to see what you were up to one, two, three or ten years ago! I understand that not everyone will like this proposal, so the best idea would be to make it optional, and maybe to hide certain type/lenght of activities (who cares if last year I had a 250 meters walk to get my dog pee and it somehow made it to my activity feed). I'd personally love to have a memories tab (maybe separated not to clog your feed) and remember those great memories from my past activities. ... View more

As the title suggests I would like a way to download the personal heatmap as an image file . Only because I would like to hang this on my wall. I'm sure lots 9f other people out there would like this one  ... View more

This feature is imagined to encourage and empower exploration on routes or trails, which you have not yet experienced! It logs mileage exclusively when you explore a route or trail for the first time, and keeps track of your overall “unique mileage”. By logging fresh miles, one uncovers exciting new trails, fosters a sense of adventure, and connect with nature, neighborhoods and/or like-minded explorers. It’s a tool to inspire exploration, new challenges, to break a routine, or get outside one’s comfort zone, and make a workout a journey of exploration and surprise.  It can backtrack your current heat maps and calculate how many unique miles you have already done, too.  Challenges / badges could be set for fresh mileage monthly, and goals set for XYZ new route miles per week/month/year!  ...

There are regular monthly 100K, 200K, 300K running challenges. And there are monthly 5K, 10K, Half Mara challenges. But there is nothing that bridges the gap. Would love a standard Monthly 50K as something achievable for the novice-intermediate runner. ... View more

Just like the option "Commute", there will be another category "HomeOffice". With this, the statistics for the annual kilometers can be expanded and there is new data that can be integrated, for example, in the route planning function. So you could generate suggestions for other users living in the same area and look for a suitable route for a trip e.g. in the lunch break. ... View more

The health and social benefits to physical activity I would imagine are fairly easy to quantify using strava, but what about the societal benefits? I think it would be interesting to record types of community activities that occurred during a bout of physical activity, as a multiple option pick-list. The pick-list could then be associated with related challenges, goals and achievements with a door opening for collaboration with other organisations, as an example, surfers against sewage and beach tidying. In recent weeks and months I've heard multiple examples whereby someone was running or walking in the local community and as a result was the first to respond to a situation where someone was in need of help, some examples: a domestic incident that required the police, a fire, elderly neighbour struggling with shopping.  This list should also include community activities such as volunteering and litterpicking/ plogging which have been mentioned as ideas individually, but these are just single examples of community action among many others that could be included. There would be a far higher probability of physically active community members responding to events within their community on a daily basis compared to those that stay inside, it's like having unofficial community champions deployed in their millions across the globe! ...

What if we could see our current achievments on the map with colors?  For example, KOM segment may be highlighted with "gold" color 🙂 Was inspired from rider Kat Gurenkova who takes almost all the segments with QOM. Thanks for your work! ... View more

In the Strava app I can see what my best running times are for different distances. It just doesn't help me at all because I only cycle and don't run at all. That's why I don't need to know what my fastest running times are of x kilometers/mile or a half marathon. I am curious about my best cycling results. Other athletes will also want to know what their milestones are in the sport they practice. What are his swimming milestones or her rowing milestones? Changing the milestone sport or adding a sport or multiple sports would therefore be very nice. Possibly an option that you could also add a (maximum) number of distances yourself. Certain distances that you ride very often, such as the length of your standard training lap. These milestones are also not visible on the web, only in the app. That's why I also recommend making this visible on the web. Many of us will use that more than they use the app ... View more

I think it would be great to get 'achievement' medals for goals other than pace when doing an activity in Strava. I have recently been training differently and rather than trying to outpace myself on every run I have been trying to lower my heart rate or hit a particular (lower) pace each mile/ km. But I LOVE getting achievements after having done an activity and so when I don't it feels demotivating. Achievements = dopamine. Would it be possible to earn achievements for goals other than just pace and frequency of segment use?  Thanks! ... View more

Hi, I love segments, and leaderboards. And it's very great that top 10s were added. However the gamification has so much more potential. An idea for segment KOM/QOM territories. There could be highlights on the map showing who holds the most KOMs/QOMs in a specified area. Similar to (strategy) videogames, when you have control over a certain area.     ... View more

Strava athletes are safer with fewer cars on the road and many cities have underused robust public transport systems. As Strava is a strong social media tool for many people, it could be used to encourage public transportation in a non-shaming way. You could post your bus rides (including walk to bus, bus ride, walk from bus to destination) and receive awards for most efficient ride, most dedicated/persistent bus rider, etc. If the app partnered with a city's bus system it could also suggest better routes or paths to the bus station. ...

Crown Jewel = You already have the K/QOM, and clock a faster effort than the current 2nd place athlete. Sure, this may be the most ego-centric thing I've posted... Ever. But here we are. Currently, I have a KOM. When I bust *ss on the segment to try and beat my time, but come in a second or two slow --- but still faster than #2 on the leaderboard --- I get nothing. Maybe some kind of "Jewel" for my crown? All I'm asking for is public validation that I'm still working hard out there and not just resting on my laurels. ... View more

It would be nice to display total number of 10k’s, 30k’s, HM’s and FM’s runs that have been recorded in strava by an individual runner,  in “All-Time” under “My Stats”. Similarly we can have total number of 20k, 50k and 100k rides for cyclists.  ... View more

Ability to see KOMs that you previously held but have lost.  If this isn’t possible (or while it is being developed), simply add an option to export KOM details. Reason - Easily keep track of KOMs so you can attempt to retrieve any you lose. ... View more

The best efforts feature is great, and glad to see it's come to mobile. However, for the shorter distances particularly, many of my best efforts are predictably downhill segments. If you run a lot of hills, best efforts eventually just becomes best downhill effort list. I would like to know which efforts were not downhill runs. Maybe downhill efforts get clearly marked with a tag. Or maybe the average incline is shown next to the best effort time. Or maybe there's a separate tab for "not downhill" or "mostly flat" efforts. I know I could just remove the downhill efforts; maybe that's what is expected. But it is currently not clear which segments the best effort came from on an activity, so I have to guess which ones are downhill (and how steep) anyway. If the average incline was shown, I could selectively remove them. I personally don't want to remove the downhill efforts anyway though, I just want to know what my best times were on flat or uphill terrain. ... View more

Would be nice to add categorized climbs to the app and have a way to track which ones you have already done. The user profile should list all successful climbs, include stats about the climb and the respective run / hike / ride. Ideally users should be able to compare their individual attempts of the climb, similar to the matched rides features. There should be a climb search that includes location, total ascent height, average and maximum inclination, etc. Each climb should feature leaderboards similar to segments. When using navigation the mode could change during a climb, showing more details about whats ahead - for example inclination profile, distance / height remaining to the top, data from other athletes attempts. Think live segments for climbs. Why is that useful? * athletes can easily search for challenges from within the app without consulting 3rd party websites * motivates athletes to explore new areas in their surroundings * collecting achievements is probably one of the biggest motivators for strava users * comparing different individual attempts of the climb give the athletes a great resource to track training progression  * competition is fun, who can do the most climbs, who is the fastest   ...

In the end of year video showing all your efforts. What about showing the most attempted segments in your area was? Even if you didn't try them, could be a positive way to try new routes/ areas? Or suggest what the most attempted segment in your country was? ... View more

With the mobile app, is it possible to have my phone play a short celebration tune when I've just ridden a segment and got the KOM? It might be a catchy way for Strava to have more presence from a marketing perspective as these tunes will become synonymous with success in time. There could be a different tune for maybe 1st, 2nd and 3rd place? (and maybe the phone could say "way to go, you just got _ th on segment _______") ... View more

Is it possible to make a "city mode" option. When you drive through a city or village your avg speed is not being measured so there is no stimulus to drive fast or take stupid risks. I think this will make the cycling a lot more enjoyable.   ... View more
