Please can you provide options/links to Shortcuts to start, pause, resume and finish activities, with the options to pick which type. This will be very useful to include Strava in longer shortcuts, or even deeper integration with the Apple Watch and complications, and also the Apple Watch Ultra Action Button (which can be used to launch a shortcut). ...

When we try to scroll through past activities on desktop we have to scroll through every page to get to the last page. takes ages and its annoying.  There should be an option to scroll to the last page and multiple other pages in between to speed up the process. Most other websites already do this. Not sure why Strava doesn't. eg, have a menu like this..  "1,2,3,4,5,6,last" Each number should be a clickable link to take us to that page.  This is what you currently have. stupid when u have thousands of activies ...

Please can the audio pace cues that come with the phone version of the app be replicated on the smart watch version, specifically for Samsung smart watches (I use the classic 4 atm).   I loved these when running with my phone, but prefer to try and leave my phone at home when running as it's a little bulky and would rather just run with my watch. ...

Under the You tab in the Strava app, there is a Progress tab and Activities tab. This request is to display the Private Notes for activities that are being shown under the Activities tab.  As a user that wants to be a part of Strava segments and otherwise be a part of the Strava community, but also wants to keep some of the details of my activity private, the Private Notes feature is fantastic. I usually use the Private Notes feature to describe personal activity related information (e.g. how I am feeling) that I don't want others to see. However, when I go back to review my activities, I would like to see these details without having to click into the activity (i.e. these details would be shown with the description for the activity). It would be very helpful to getting quicker insights into how a series of activities went at a given point in time when retroactively looking through training logs. I realize some people may still not want these private notes to be discoverable in the situation I described above, so it may be best for this feature to be an opt in.  ... View more

The custom app icons for subscribers which can be set for the Apple iPhone should / could also be set for the Apple Watch.  Example:  If I set the cycling icon in the app on my phone, it should also propagate as the same icon on the Watch as well.  ... View more

I would like to draw my own route independent of any potentially found routes around me. The button is currently not shown until the routes around me load, which in most cases is a waste of time and resources, and in cases of failure means no button at all. (Several failures in a row prompted me to write this suggestion.)  Update from Strava: Thanks to all who voted and commented. I'm pleased to let you know that we recently rolled a new "map only" feature on IOS and Android.        When you select Map features, you will now see a new option “Map Only”. This mode does not show Segments or Routes and enables you to explore new areas and get the most value out of our Global Heatmap and their Personal Heatmap! Thanks again to all who contributed to this idea. ... View more

I have been wanting this for a long time now, i wish there was a display of the elevation gained in the app in real time or at least a display of the altitude at any given moment. It would be very appreciated when on a hike for instance as to have an idea of how much more elevation you need to gain to get to your goal or how much more climbing you have to do to complete the route you're trying to complete. At least a very simple reading of the elevation would be much appreciated. ... View more

Hi Strava team! I'm a big fan of Strava and I love using it to track my workouts. I'd like to suggest an improvement to the Strava mobile app for WearOS smartwatches. Step counting is a crucial metric for many Strava users, especially those who prioritize overall fitness and daily activity levels. The Strava WearOS app currently doesn't track steps! I propose that the Strava WearOS app be updated to automatically track steps and upload (sync) this data to the user's Strava dashboard, within the 'Cadence' section. Imagine participating in a steps Challenge (walk, hike, run) and being able to have your steps count recorded directly in your WearOS watch and then, as a magic trick, after syncing data with your Strava dashboard, the "Cadence section" shows your step count! That would be awesome! 😀 I truly believe that automatic step tracking would be a valuable addition to the Strava WearOS app and would be greatly appreciated by many users as far as by me. I urge you to consider implementing this feature as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration. Leo ... View more

We all know that Strava can write to Apple Health, but you only write a limited data set.  I would like you to extend that data set to include heart rate.  That way I can see heart rate analysis from the ride within Strava and see my overall heart rate across the whole day in Apple Health.   Strava and Apple Health will then be even more complementary to each other.  Thanks  Bryan ...

It would be great if there was a way to upload a map of an activity without actually having a recorded activity file. This would help the large amount of Strava users who do not have GPS watches/devices better share their activities with their followers beyond the currently available manual activity functionality. Why it's important: The Strava community is about sharing activities with friends and the world. For users who don't have/can't afford/don't like using GPS devices, this is limited to just sharing text, time and mileage data. It would be very fun if there was a way to upload a map alongside a manual activity. Having a map with an activity makes the post more engaging and allows users to better share what they are doing with their friends. I see it working like this: Strava only has to implement very small changes, and then let other app developers do the rest. Maps can be uploaded as .GPX files without time data. These maps can be created/uploaded from existing activity mapping apps/sites who want to implement the functionality (full disclosure, I am one of these developers). Then there would just be a change to the upload endpoint of the Strava API to simply allow a flag, something like "map_only_activity" or "no_pace_data" which defaults to false to not cause breaks. This flag will instruct Strava's side of the API to not try to pull pace data from the file. Instead, the existing info that already accompanies an upload API call will be used to determine average pace (just like with a manual activity) and the .GPX file will only be used for displaying a map. Additionally, these activities would probably not be eligible for awards like course records and the like since there is no way to know how fast the user traveled on any individual section of the mapped route. ...

I am a runner who likes to rotate between multiple shoes throughout my week. Before every run, I currently open strava to change my default shoe. I like to do this so that I don't have to change gear on multiple activities if I decide to say record warmup, workout and cooldown separately. Before the feature of "Default Sports" was added to shoes, changing the default shoe was simple, open the app -> Profile tab -> Gear -> Tap on the shoe and tap make default. After the "Default Sports" feature was added, we now have to tap on the shoe -> Tap Edit Gear -> Tap Default Sports input field -> Tap on Run -> Tap on Save. You can clearly see how it has added several extra taps to the process. On top of all this, the recent app update made it even worse now that the Profile page is tucked away at the top of the "You" page. So the new flow is like this, let me number the steps this time: Open the app Goto "You" tab Tap on your profile icon at the top right part of the app Scroll down Tap on Gear Tap on the shoe Tap "Edit Shoes" Tap on the input for "Default Sports" Tap the checkbox in front of "Run" Tap outside the bottom sheet to dismiss it Tap "Save" Are you seeing how ridiculous this is? I would love for the strava app to supply an Android/iOS widget that you can add to home screen of your phone to change your default gear quickly. If not, There should be a simple way to change your default shoe once you open the app. For example: 1. Open the app 2. Tap Gear 3. Tap on an icon next to the shoe that will let you make it the default shoe. ... View more

I like the weekly activity + relative effort chart in Strava. I’d like to see that directly  on my phone as a widget. The widgets showing weekly miles and goals completion only account for run, bike, swim distance; but in addition to cycling I also lift weights & walk, and would like to know if I’m increasing my activity at a sustainable pace, falling behind, overexerting, etc. A widget would be nice because it can help me decide early in the day if I should look for a high effort workout, or take more of a rest/recovery day, without opening Strava and clicking though several items to get to the weekly effort view. ...

It would be great if Strava would allow us to import/share our run data with other apps, e.g., I have used Nike Run Club for years. I'd love to switch over to Strava, where some people I've recently started running with are, but I don't want to give up all my history.  ... View more

Proposal: Integrate the ability to view and complete a custom workout (FIT/JSON) live on the Strava watch app. Key Points: -Innovation: This feature does not currently exist and would eliminate the need for a separate GPS computer. -Importance: Enhances user experience by providing real-time guidance through haptic and sound cues, making workouts more accessible and efficient. -Details: Users can follow workout instructions directly on their watch, receiving notifications for each workout segment. -Visuals: Include visual guides for easy comprehension and searchability. ...

Would really need to be able to record manual lap times on the wear os app. For now, the app is absolutely useless if you want to do interval training. I was actually surprised that this wasn't a feature, had I known, I would had bought a Garmin watch instead of a Galaxy Watch 5. It should be quite easy to add? Short press on the back button for lap time, and long press to pause activity. Overall the wear os app is quite disappointing, I hope this change soon. ... View more
