I would like to see archery added as a sport on Strava. To shoot accurately you need to have incredible stillness through a heavy weight activity, followed by active recovery and sessions can go on for many hours ... View more

I think Live Race Mode (for running, cycling, triathlons, and other endurance sports) will be a great addition to Strava. This is important because: Live Race Mode is basically like the Mario Kart map that shows everyone on the course. We have the choice from a privacy pov to share our location live with friends and family running the race or spectating the race Live Race Mode feature will connect me with other runners who have turned on race mode and allow me to follow elite athletes and see who is close by. Spectators and runners can cheer each other on by name Anyone can watch a replay of the race selecting or deselecting all athletes in the race who have chosen to share live race mode at 2x / 3x / 4x speed afterward instead of just the 50 closest athletes at the start of the race An example of when I would want this feature is during any marathon or track racing event.  Thank you Strava!  ...

I coach and referee Rugby, I record my activities and Strava shows them as a "run", it would be great if these were able to be classified as Rugby. There are a load of other team sports that really ought to be added too (football, hockey, etc etc). ... View more

Whenever someone uploaded a post of their activity(bicycle, running, swimming etc.) I just wanna comment a giphy under that post in order to make them happy or encourage them! Now, you can only text and use emojis from your keyboard. Boring. With giphies or memes, you can really comment a lot of fun and encouraging stuff! It is 2023, memes and giphies are conquering the world. Please make giphies and memes available to all of Strava users, or where you can just copy paste a meme or giphy from the internet into the comment section under a post. Thank you for reading this! ... View more

Unsure if this is available in WearOS 3 as I haven't received the update yet. But in the current version, it would be very handy to use an external HR monitor(chest straps/forearm straps)  and link it in the app as getting HR reads from the watch (wrist) is inaccurate in most WearOS watches and the problem worsens as the intervals shorten. The native google fit app of them allows to connect to the external HR monitor, but obviously this app misses all the goodness that comes from Strava, it would be great to have this option on the strava WearOS app     ...

Would love to choose sledding as a sport.  ... View more

The barometer on my watch is shockingly bad (like a lot of others I would suspect) that I’d like there to be a setting in Strava that would allow all activities to use the Strava basemap by default instead. It gets tedious having to choose this setting after activity and sometimes I can forget and that ruins my elevation stats.  ... View more

Feature request: can we customize the ordering of these Sports? Running is already my "Primary Sport" under my profile (in iOS app profile settings — what does setting this even do now?), so I would want graphs on my profile to have a bias towards showing Running data if available over other activity types.  The main activity that I want to highlight on Strava is running — that's one of the main sports this app is built around. But recently I've been uploading my other workouts tracked by my Apple Watch (weight lifting, yoga, climbing, etc) to Strava since it's nice to see them contribute to my Monthly Fitness graph, Weekly Intensity graph, & other tracking features in the app.  The problem is that Strava tries to intelligently re-order the activity types (e.g. "Weight Training", "Run", "Rock Climb", ...) above the "This Week" graph on my Profile based on the amount of activities have been completed of a particular type. Based on what I'm observing, the ordering of the activities is strictly based on number of activities uploaded of that type, not any other metric (e.g. time). This means that more often than not the "Run" type — & therefore the default view of the "This Week" graph on my profile — is not first; e.g. I uploaded two short weight lifting activities (total 45 minutes) & one long run (1.5 hours).   Thanks! 😊 -Izzy ...

Can we please have "litter Picking" added as an activity. There are several clubs who litter pick already on Strava, and I have just created "Stravas Rubbish" with the intention of getting more people involved in a healthy activity which benefits not only themselves, but the wider community as well. We can then get the club to just show these activities, rather than have it continue as all sports so we can identify the time Strava athletes spend doing good, without all the noise of al other activities being included. Wouldnt this be a marvelous positive message to be able to share?  ... View more

There should be a way to export a segment as a GPX file or convert a segment to a route. There are some very long FKT style segments that may be quite hard to follow without navigation (on an external device). Even though some devices (higher end Garmins and Polars) have live segment features, in my experience that works very unreliably, especially when running on trails. Exporting a segment as a route is a feature that I'd have really appreciated in a number of occasions.  ... View more

I run a lot of the same local segments repeatedly but I'm very rarely trying to beat my Personal Record - I'm also never going to trouble the KOM spots! But, I really enjoy segments as a feature and like to check how my efforts stack up against my past efforts. My idea to make segments more useful and fun for me and athletes like me is that Strava could track and display my average time over all my efforts on a segment. I could then see if I'm improving my general speed over the segment without having to go all out to break my PR. Would be great to filter it by "this year" vs. "all-time" or similar. It would also be good to see how my average has changed over time on a line chart somehow. ... View more

It seems as though the capitalization I choose for a particular model of shoe is overruled once a different user has previously entered the model name with different capitalization. For instance, I have two models of Vibram FiveFingers where someone in the past chose not to capitalize the second F and I have seemingly no way to correct this. Everytime I try to change any capitalization in any part of the name it reverts to the previously entered format. I am aware this is possibly the most minor annoyance possible, but either a "suggest correction" button next to a gear name or simply allowing users to decide their own capitalization would be appreciated. ...

I primarily bought my watch for surf tracking after seeing a buddy's. However, he has an apple watch with a pretty decent surf tracking app. I am not an Apple products guy so I got the Samsung Watch to use with Strava. There is a separate app, Waves Tracker which uses Strava api to attempt to decipher my wave count but it's not very good (yet, sorry guys...) although it is a valiant effort so far and i'm sure it will improve. Garmin and Ripcurl sell dedicated surf watches but they are mediocre at tracking smaller waves. It's pretty obvious the moments a wave is caught, the speed spikes to 12, 15 20 mph and can be seen on the graph. I can count the peaks but its not very good.  The watch app needs to sync better too, but have a selectable "surf" activity. As well as climb, and some other ones. I always record in "Hike" and manually edit later...  Then I upload to waves tracker... Assuming I got the watch app to sync... A lot of work to try to get any kind of "data" on my "performance" it feels like Im doing it for the 'gram than performance tracking, and between all that and cramming a watch in my wetsuit I opt out half the time.  In summarium:  - Surf mode should display wave count, length, speed. An adjustable setting for speed or sensitivity would be great for those smaller days that many of the apps don't work well on.  - Surf mode needs to be on the watch as a selectable activity (Wear OS) ...

Please consider adding Surfski as a Sport type. Surfski (one word) is very specific type of sit-on-top kayak designed for racing or fitness paddling on open water. There is a worldwide competitive circuit and a designated world championships (https://www.canoeicf.com/canoe-ocean-racing-world-championships/madeira-2024). Having Surfski listed as a sport will help surfski athletes build worldwide community on Strava. A lot of us train on our own and use Strava to record our training and activity. There are many routes, both downwind runs and circuits that we regularly paddle individually and having Surfski as a sport type will help us to compare, compete and share through the Strava app. ...

We should be able to view all of the segments we completed in an activity when viewing from the mobile app.  Currently, we do not see any hidden segments and often some random others don't show up as well.  There is no way to "unhide" those in the mobile app either.  The only way to see all of the segments completed is to pull the activity up on a web browser which is cumbersome when not working from a desktop computer.  Please expand the mobile app such that we at least have the option to unhide and view the missing segments just like we can on the web browser version of the program.   ...

Hi Hi often use the "My activities" list to try to compare my activities. It would be even more useful with the posibility to filter the list (type of activity, range of distance, pace, heartrate etc). Also it would be nice to be able to select what columns you want to see (I am missing pace and heartrate). Best regards, Ola Nygren, Västerås, Sweden ... View more

Sometimes, you forget to press the button. Would be great if one could create or edit laps after the acitivity has been uploaded/synced. Also fine if this can we done using a browser only and not via the app. Shouldn't be more difficult to implement than the creation if new segments. ... View more
