Each user has a one super Kudos each week to spend. This Kudos will be used on their ‘kudos of the week’. This could be a purple thumbs up instead. ... View more

I think adding a global leaderboard for PRs (across all race distances) will be a great addition to Strava. This is important to me because I want to follow and get inspired by the fastest athletes and see who I am close to in my own city based on PRs.  An example of when I need this is when I want to check PRs and filter by city, state, country and globally.  Make it opt-in only so that people have to manually input their PRs linked to a race or activity on Strava.  ...

Based on total km/miles, ascent, activities, kom/qom, local legend, total effort. I mean just one number to immediately identify an athlete level. It has to be not related to the kind of sport (each sport will give different points contributing to the final result). This number could appear on the upper part of the photo.  ... View more

Edit: Thanks to a comment from @CreakyCrank I edited my initial suggestion. Based on the Athlete-to-Athlete Direct Communication idea from @SteveWayne i think it would be great if you are able to arrange training sessions with other STRAVA athlets via DM, which could then be saved in your own training calendar. Maybe an export/sync function via ICS/iCal/CSV would be conceivable?   Initial post: Don't you think it would a great feature to send STRAVA internal direct messages (DM) to the members you follow (and they follow you)? I think this would be a great idea to get in contact with followers just to ask a quick quesion like "which tyre pressure are you running?" Without expose everything in the comments section. In addition, i think it would be great if you could arrange training sessions with other STRAVA athlets via DM, which could then be saved in your own training calendar. Maybe an export/sync function via ICS/iCal/CSV would be conceivable? ... View more

I access Strava mostly through the phone app (Android).  Several people that I'm connected with post in other languages. I would like to be able to translate and read what they post, but currently text copying is disabled in the app.  That is where the user does a long tap on a piece of text and then has the option of copying it to the clipboard.  Such a feature would make it a lot easier for me to communicate with my Strava connections. ...

Strava should add an immediate cap so users cannot follow new athletes above the limit unless they first unfollow athletes. (Yes, I agree 2,000 accounts are a lot. Yes, I should have unfollowed some athletes sooner. But, why are we allowed to go above 2,000 if that is the limit?)  The issue is that the sudden decrease in accounts I follow creates a bad user experience.  Just today I noticed my family and friends were automatically unfollowed. My cousins who are new to Strava this month and new friends I made over past years may have seen this and wondered why I unfollowed them. I texted them when I noticed and explained why I had to request a refollow.  Ultimately, I don't even know who I lost above the 2,000 because it looks like I lost friends I had added two years ago arbitrarily.  If Strava caps it at 2,000 athletes, Strava should stop me from following more athletes unless I first unfollow some athletes. When it allows me to go above 2,000 limit and it automatically purges accounts on an arbitrary date in the future, this creates a bad user experience. This requires me to explain what happened to family and friends.  Please don't let us go above 2,000 athletes limit if it is the rule. Enforce it immediately not on a random date without notice.   Thank you! (p.s. I solemnly swear that I will not go above 2,000 ever again)   ... View more

I think it’d be nice having the possibllity of hiding others’ pace and/or speed. In general, as Strava users we tend to compare our stats a lot with others’, getting frustrated because we’re not as fast as them, and that can lead to overtraining and injury. Please, consider adding an optional setting that enables to hide these stats, it would be really good for us. Thanks!! ... View more

A great idea for you guys. A way to quickly connect with people on a trail with your strava profile. QR code or airdrop that will connect strava accounts.  just a thought ... View more

In some countries the name "Kudos" could be reflect other mean to registers user n thet Strava, tha is, It could be constrangeus and pejorative. The constant Kudo coud be change to "cool" for example to other name or only in portuguese. I beleive that could prevent the users will leaves of the application, bercause this. Regards.     ...

  I think it would be interesting if popular segments (segments that several people have starred, and that have a lot of attempts) had forums of their own, where athletes who’ve attempted the segment can post comments about it.   ... View more

Similar to other forums and comment sections online: Allow us to reply to specific comments in threads instead of just a single list of top-level comments on each post. I.e. allow each comment to have a tree of sub-comments using a 'reply' button. It would go a long way towards cleaning up the currently very messy comment sections. ... View more

Make an ongoing promotion advertising existence of Strava Flyby. It seems that many people are simply unaware of its existence. And it looks like Strava already has a mechanism in place to advertise features by presenting info about them in the feeds. That would give a chance to bring back Strava Flyby from the dead after it was killed a few years ago by forcibly disabling it for everyone. Strava Flyby is (was?) one of the best features of Strava, which allows people passing by each other to connect or simply say "hi!". ... View more

When you sign up for a club event and then record a matching cycling or running activity on the scheduled day then the activity should automatically link to the event. It's nice to be able to keep track of club events where you participated, and for your followers to see which clubs are scheduling events. Currently when a club event date has passed it just sort of disappears from the Strava web site and mobile apps; there's no way to easily find it again or see who participated. ... View more

Sometimes I look back at some of my own activities and I think, Nice job! Nice job legs! Nice job lungs! When I run a 50k, I would love to give myself kudos, because I appreciate myself. Seems harmless enough? Currently, when you click the kudos Thumb on your own activity, it takes you to the list of current kudos given, which I admit is also pretty useful, so maybe it just does both. 👍 ... View more

Out of 5 stars be able to rate the enjoyment of the activity you did whether it be a run/ walk/ swim. This would be visible for other people as well as you. It would allow you to come back and repeat activities you had enjoyed! ... View more

In the Following features: it is counter intuitive to have a drop down menu of Im 'Following , Following Me, Who to Follow'  For example, If I follow a professional athlete, let's say they don't follow me back, and I'm in the 'I'm Following' section of the drop down menu (Who to Follow, I'm following, Following me), it would be more informative to visibly see that the person aka the hypothetical professional athlete is not following me and or 'does not follow', instead of showing that I'm 'Following' them, when this information is already letting me know that I'm following them by choosing the 'I'm Following' option on the drop bar menu.  (It's the grey rectangular outline box with the words showing that I am 'Following' on the right of page to that person's name / city association) ...
