I've used Strava for about 3 years now and it still has a 30 notification limit of likes and comments etc., the desktop site has loads more but isn't as user friendly, as in you click on one unread notification and all the other unread ones became read, so then I can't see what people have reply etc., surly this is a simple fix, you've just added a chat/message to it, which is nice but not needed tbh, the notifications are very important to many I would thing, please look into this ...

The annual report that Strava sends is pretty basic. Given that you have the data on different bikes and road surface, why can't these be presented. I'd like to know how many hours or km I spent riding on dirt separately to that on tarmac. ... View more

I am sure I am not the only athlete who walks their dog most days, currently I have to edit to change walk to Walk Dog. If I walk I walk at a cracking pace, but, with my aging dog , lucky to make 2 mph. Anyone else think this would be a good add on.  ... View more

I love how you can organize a club event within Strava to make it easy to meet at a location as well as set a predefine route or parameters. I noticed that there is a slight difference between the mobile and the web I would love to have the ability to see, engage and reply to the discussion of an event on mobile as you have on the web. ...

I would like Strava to consider renaming “Nordic Ski” to the official name recognized by both the International Ski Federation and the Olympic committee: “Cross-Country Ski” (and in French too : “Ski de fond”). In my opinion, Nordic Skiing is too broad as it includes both competitive cross-country skiing and ski jumping (which are completely different sports: propelling yourself on snow vs flying with skis) Thank you / merci!  Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-country_skiing_(sport) FIS (international ski federation): https://www.fis-ski.com/en/cross-country ...

In the past few months, the challenge level of many of the challenges has dropped. While this is good in that it allows newer Strava athletes to attain reasonable goals, there are many of us who are seeking more and would like to have badges or achievements to work toward. My suggestion is to create levels for each challenge, maybe labled bronze, silver, and gold, to allow for further pushing. For example, the monthly run distance badge could have 100km as the bronze goal, 200km as the silver goal, and 300km as the gold. Walking could have 30km, 50km, and 100km, and so on. This would allow for all levels of athletes to achieve a monthly challenge goal that challenges them as an individual instead of having just one goal set for us all. (I know that there is a goal setting feature, but that is a paid feature and in the name of equity, I believe that both subscribers and free Strava users deserve to be able to set a goal in some way.) ...

if you want to know on the map where a specific segment is, you can only access it through the top of the screen, once you scroll down, the map disappear (ie: not sticky) and you are no longer to see it on the map. This is VERY annoying and would be very nice if that map on top would remain even if you are scrolling down (similar to the denivelation graph). I took a video showing what I'm talking about. ...

As spring rapidly approaches in the alpine I sometimes struggle to get reliable beta on whether a specific route or trail is sufficiently melted to justify a long drive somewhere to attempt. Suggestion is to allow users to track a segment to get a notification/email for when the segment is completed with a link to the activity. On Strava this is possible if you've completed the segment already or by digging deep on the computer but forces you to be very proactive. Right now for me I get information primarily though local social media groups and via the friends/athletes followed on Strava in my own network. I believe this will not only democratize access (and of course individuals can set their sharing settings differently if they so choose) as well as drive more eco-conscious choices to avoid routes that are not passable. ...

Combine beacon functionality with something similar to "flybys" in real time for group activities. A ride leader can set the route, and then add athletes via link, QR code, etc. Once joined up with the leader, you begin the group ride and can see both the route on the map and location of riders in your group. Add functionality to "stop the bus" and signal the leader that you have a mechanical or have fallen behind.  ... View more

There have been a couple of instances where I pause my ride at a stop light and forget to resume, or where my ride is not recorded due to bad reception. This requires a manual entry for that particular ride. Using “routes” for manual entries would be a nice feature because you would just have to enter your duration. Elevation would automatically be added and the map would be displayed on that manually entered ride.  ... View more

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

I have recently subscribed to Strava and am now increasingly using the route planning (alternative so far was Komoot). I have learned that Strava uses the average of the last 4 weeks to estimate the time needed to complete a route. But in doing so, you partly underestimate tremendously. If, for example, the last 4 weeks mainly flat routes were driven and then you make mountain stages, then the time estimation approach is not true at all. These 2 methods would be much more accurate: 1) Using pace [kmh and VAM] specific to the segments which makes part of the planned route. For example, if a segment of similar length and incline has been ridden in the last 4-5 weeks, then it would be much more accurate to use the pace driven in this segments. 2) Segmentwise comparison with other drivers of same strength ...

It would be great if it would be possible to favorite segments when viewing a route. Right now it is possible to see the segments in for example route like this https://www.strava.com/routes/2940068794414385848 However it is not possible favorite the segments without clicking the segment link. It seems that at least a very similar functionality is already implemented in your infrastructure because the "starring" is already available when viewing a ride that has already been done, for example: https://www.strava.com/activities/8824074474 It would make adding my favorite segments when preparing for a climbing group ride much easier if the stars would be available also before the ride. -otto ...

With the option to add a 'race' tag to running (and cycling) activities, I would like to propose a section in this type of activity where you can add your finishing stats: where you finished in the field; where you finished in your division; whether it was a PB, etc. This would be an optional and likely manual process, but most races make these stats readily available to individual entrants and Strava would be a great place to keep track of these stats all in one place.  ...
