STRAVA App/Website Parity: have features/functionality the same on Web and Mobile

[MattS_bsb]

Seeing the new features rolled out is great, but there's still work to be done matching functionality between app and website.  Ideally, if it's important enough to exist in one, it should also be in the other.  Examples:

1. Adding Gear: Given that STRAVA now has so many activity categories, it would be nice to add gear other than shoes and bikes; I log roughly 20 miles per week on a Concept2 rower, and would like to aggregate that data in the app/website.

2. Segment creation/searching/exploring:  Searching is clunky on the app, but very intuitive on the website, and creation of segments is only available through the website.

3. Course Creation/searching/exploring: Similar to Segments, creation is somewhat cumbersome on the app to the point where folks just don't use it; I make it a point to only create routes on the website for the sake of my own sanity.  In dire straits, I actually prefer the CityStrides route builder over that of either STRAVA or Garmin Connect apps.

4. FlyBy:  This was once an awesome function, albeit only really viewable from the website, and since STRAVA changed their privacy policies making the user default as 'opted out', it's essentially unused.  Also, FlyBy isn't widely advertised as a feature, and not obvious to app users that it even exists.

5. Muting Activities:  An activity can only be muted through the app, and not the website.
DELIVERED: Enable Muted activities on web

6. Managing Goals:  Currently only Running, Cycling, and Swimming distance goals can be viewed/managed through the website, but other activities like Rowing can be viewed/managed through the app.

7. Choosing Favorite Athletes/Activity Alerts:  Designation of specific friends/athletes as "favorites" and opting into notifications of their activities is only available through the app.

8. Although not available on either the website or the app, the ability to simply edit your comment on someone's activity would be very helpful, and seems like pretty low-hanging fruit.

When viewing a profile on PC I can see a good amount of stats in the right side panel.
Either my stats, the users stats I am looking at, or a compare view.
On mobile however there is only a limited amount, not even a year by year overview option.
Not to mention the stats compare with my stats I there is available on PC.

I'd like to see all the same stats and comparison on mobile too.

Couldn't agree more. Charging for this app, but under delivering! I might as well just use Garmin connect.

On the web version of Strava when I display of the details of an activity, if I assigned a shoe to the activity, I could see the current mileage of the shoe.

However, on the app version, it only lists the shoe without mileage. To get the current mileage, I need to leave the activity, go to gear page which is now even more hidden and look it up there.

Could this be changed? I believe it is a small change, but it helps to see the gear mileage for the gear used after each activity.

On the Strava website, when I visit an Athlete's profile, I see a list of their times over certain key distances along side my own. This allows for easy comparison. My request is that this feature is extended to the Android app as well. At present, when you visit an Athlete's profile in the Android app, all you see are their own times despite their often being plenty of screen space for yours to be displayed alongside them. Especially if this comparison were restricted, for example, to landscape mode.

Can we get a "filter heat map by year" tool while creating routes on the web?  I see it on mobile, but route planning on mobile is painful and I almost never do it.

Heat map by year would be helpful so I can see roads I haven't traveled on in recent time.  

Workaround: show heat map by year on another tab (not ideal...)

Yes, please have all mobile app features be available on the website too. I'm not sure why I pay for Strava when such things are not available.

This option is available on web, would be great to have it on mobile. If possible, with option to skip route recalculation.

A feature should be added where pictures taken during the activity have the option to be marked by location on the map. For example, if I take a picture of an animal on the road during a run, and I post the picture on Strava, there should be an option to add the location that picture was taken to the map of my run on Strava. That way, my followers can see my run and see exactly where the pictures I posted were taken. This should be optional and not a requirement to map posted pictures.

Hi @audramulholland , it actually already works like that on the Strava website, see the attached screenshot - photos are displayed on the map. The photo has to contain location information to be displayed on the place where it was taken. 

However, this is available only on the website as far as I know. It would be nice to have that feature also in the mobile app indeed!

Hello @audramulholland 

Thanks for your post.  @Jana_S is correct, this is available on the web site currently:

We will place a thumbnail of the photo in the location at which it was taken if that information is available in the photo's metadata. Usually you have to allow your photos to have access to your phone's location services for this to happen.

Is it possible to have in the app the activity search as in the web?

At the moment in the app we can only search for Athletes (friends) or Clubs, while in the web for Athletes, Activities, Clubs and Segments.

Given we can’t yet set default gear for commutes (separate feature idea already), I’d like to filter rides by gear in the mobile app that already has a lot of different filters:

This way I can easily see which rides I recently did and check that the gear is correct - mainly, for me, to easily track mileage on that gear.

The website allows you to do this but that page is not mobile friendly. I don’t want to have to jump on a larger device just to do what could probably be done in the app easily: your Types filter already limits to ride types I’ve done so you’re clearly already aggregating data for my profile here.

Please add All time elevation gain stats on strava mobile app.

[Kicktheboard]

Leaderboards functionality is still something outstanding here. The app's functionality in this realm is much easier to use than the web version.
