Your recent update to segments is a bold attempt to clean them up.  One of your changes is to have verified segments.  Your method in determining which segments to verify is through the use of staring?  My concern with staring is that stars are functionally used for LIVE STRAVA SEGMENT ATTEMPTS.  So if I am making an attempt for a segment KOM, i like to see live segments.  However, if i am not going to make a KOM attempt then i UNSTAR said segment because it clutters my screen when ridging/navigating.  Additionally, when i do get that KOM, i unstar.  In other words, staring is not a vote to LIKE or promote a segment.  If you do want to make VERIFIED segments, please create a LIKE button for it rather than counting stars.  ...

I find the fitness trend tracker really frustrating. As far as I can tell it makes an assumption that every day you don't log something in Strava, your fitness declines by x% and also makes assumptions about the incremental fitness you gain from each activity. Given that not everything I do is logged on Strava (shocking, I know) this is totally inaccurate. However, you have all the data you need to work out actual fitness, as, over time, I will do similar workouts, at similar levels of effort and you have all my HR data.  For example, if I do a 5k run in September at a certain speed and HR, and then I do the same run (or similar) 4 months later at the same HR but faster, you know my fitness has increased. You must be able to build an algorithm that calculates some index of fitness by comparing my HR, relative effort, speed etc etc, regardless of how many sessions I have actually logged. ... View more

Sometimes after a big trip I go back through all my activities and update the names and add multimedia. It can be difficult to add multimedia as I sometimes have hundreds or thousands of pictures to scroll through to get to the correct date. A filter for day of activity, or filtering by start and end date would be helpful. ... View more

On the maps tab when looking at heatmaps there is an option for "all cycle sports"  It would be great to have that option when creating routes as well.  Currently you have to pick one specific discipline and only rides under that category show up in the heat map overlay. The same ability could be applied to all foot sports as well ... View more

On October 1st, 2024. Strava "killed" the FatMap app acquired months prior. FatMap was FANTASTIC. The navigation on the map was smooth, unclustered, with easy access to the layers of interest (my primary use was for Backcountry Skiing, with multiple relevant layers (aspect, avalanche terrain notably)), but it also served me great for summer activities. The current Maps tab on the Strava Mobile App, while it's got some great features, is completely clustered. Routes are being pushed, and if I opt for a "Map Only" view on my map features, it doesn't save that preference on subsequent re-open. Can we save Map Settings so they stay locked in from previous navigation? FatMap layers - Why on earth, would you kill an App like FatMap, if their features aren't YET integrated within your mobile app. Whoever made that decision certainly knows how to piss off their user base. Please finalize that integration (if that's the end goal), or bring FatMap back. (Signed - A loyal but very annoyed Strava and FatMap user). ... View more

Most of my workouts are imported from Apple Workouts/Matrix exercise machines. I don’t like how every imported activity is automatically set to “everyone”, and i have to manually change the privacy settings. I like to keep some of my workouts private. Here’s my suggestion: at the import confirmation screen, there should be an Everyone/Followers/Only Me toggle which can be easily selected by the user. ... View more

As an avid user of Strava, I have greatly enjoyed the route-building feature, but I believe there is an opportunity to further enhance its functionality. I'd like to propose a new feature for the Route Builder that I believe would greatly improve the user experience for cyclists and runners alike. Feature Proposal: Advanced Route Building with Personal Heatmap Integration 1. Build Routes Based on Preferred Roads: Allow users to flatten their personal activity heatmap, prioritizing frequently used roads or paths when creating new routes. This feature would enable more tailored route suggestions based on the roads I enjoy and use most often, creating a personalized experience. 2. Discover New Roads Automatically: Implement a comparison between a user's personal heatmap and the global Strava heatmap to identify roads or paths the user has not yet explored. Offer a toggle feature for users to select the desired level of road discovery: "No/Limited New Roads" "Few New Roads" "Lots of New Roads" This feature would allow users to easily find new roads to explore based on their personal preferences while maintaining control over how much new terrain they want to cover. 3. Specify Road Surface Preferences: Ensure that users can still specify the road surface (e.g., paved, gravel, etc.) during route creation. This is important to maintain route suitability for different types of activities. Current Limitation: At present, I find that the automated route generation often doesn't align with my preferences. By integrating personal heatmap data and offering more refined route discovery options, the route generation tool could become significantly more effective and user-friendly. I believe these improvements would appeal to a wide range of users, especially those looking to optimize their activities based on their past experience while also exploring new terrain. ...

I have found quite a lot of popular biking routes where I cannot make a Strava route without using manual mode.  The reason for most of these seems to be that when a 'connection' between roads or paths-to-roads is labelled as a 'crosswalk' in OSM. Strava does not appear to use a crosswalk that as a viable feature to bike during auto-routing. For local routes, I have had to change what is otherwise correctly marked as a crosswalk in OSM into a 'path' in OSM - which I don't like to do.  But it is the only way I can determine to make routing for local riders easier and possible. Can Strava change the setting for OSM 'crosswalks' to allow for them to be used in auto-routing when creating Strava bike routes? ... View more

Right now in the mobile Strava app you have speed, distance and heart rate. But you can't change what is displayed. So for example if I want to see just heart rate on full screen I can't choose what Strava displays on the information screen. Or distance and heart rate. Or only speed. ... View more

In the progress summary chart, there is an option for “All Sports”, which can be graphed as either: distance, time, number of activities etc.  There is also the option to select an individual activity type (e.g. All Ride, Run, Swim, Yoga, Tennis, Golf), again graphed by either: distance, time etc.  It would be extremely useful to have a “multi-select” option for the progress summary chart, where a subscriber can select MORE than one activity type, but not ALL activities types.  For example, select: Ride, Swim, Run… This way a subscriber could track the amount of hours (or distance, or number of activities) just for triathlon training, and remove the noise from 18-hole rounds of golf, or daily morning yoga, or weekend tennis…all still important activities we wish to upload (whether socially, or for private goals).  Same could go for any multi-sport activity training, such as: cross-triathlon, duathlon, aquabike, quadrathlon, ergathon etc     ...

Can we PLEASE somehow separate the “Save” and “Discard” button on Apple Watch? Too many times, I’ve accidentally discarded an activity when trying to save.  Having the buttons the same size and right on top of each other is not helpful.  99% of the time, we just want to save. Discard should not even be an option! We can delete unwanted activities manually in the app, if needed.  ... View more

Hi,  Strava is amazing, I love it and thank your for new features and constantly developing app in different ways. What I would love to have on Strava I would suggest to have Routes hub, so you can search the routes in your desired place. Every user should be able to add its extraordinary activity to this hub to share some hidden paradises for other users. Strava route planner is very nice and heatmap helps a lot, but it would be so nice to get some ideas from other people's activities in routes hub, (especially when you are travelling in new places or moved to new place for living), from where you would be able to save the route in your personal routes. Also, adding feature to add review for this route, so people would be able to see the current conditions on the trails or so on... ... View more

Hello everyone, I have two cool suggestions for the app. The first one would be the ability to add music to your activity on Strava. When someone passes by, the music would play, which would be fun and could set a rhythm for others to follow during your activity. The second suggestion is about the reporting of an activity in a segment. My suggestion is to add a new reporting option, which would be "Suggest activity change." For example, I’ve noticed that many cyclists don’t know how to switch from the running mode to cycling, so they end up receiving several reports that can negatively impact their account. In this case, if the person didn’t know how to change it, the report would prompt them with the option "Was your activity a run or a ride?" This way, they could change it without any issues. ...

Similar to showing statistics by gear, I’d like to see performance compared by gear, with achievements for each gear, bikes mainly. Climbing on a big bike is slower than on a light bike, and combining stats across gear makes it difficult to gauge gains. Similarly for downhill segments. I could be faster down on a big bike, but what are the gains vs a short travel or different bike? If we could compare between and keep achievements within gear, it could help give insights on training.    ... View more

Implement the ability for an athlete to see their personal records for each individual bike in their profile. I have a lightweight road bike and a heavier gravel bike. I am never going to be able to beat a PR up a steep climb that I have set on my road bike when riding on my heavier gravel bike but that doesn't mean a particular effort on my gravel bike is less of an achievement than on my road bike. It would be good to see separate PRs for each bike in your profile. ... View more
