User Defined Tags (custom) for Activities + ability to filter on tags

[madosta]

User Story
As a Strava User (maybe Subscriber?) that enjoys trying out different training criteria
And has just finished an activity
I want the ability to specify my own tags (e.g. 20-tooth, baby-seat, red-socks)
So that I can report on activities with my specified tags and further personalize my training experience

Save/Edit Activity with User Tags (20-tooth and baby-seat, etc):

Filter My Activities by User Tag(s):

I'm all for it. Mine main beef with Strava is it's way too focus on professional athletes and competitive sports. I miss the general population and friends specific tags.

Then again, Strava didn't add simple tags for two years so I don't think they care about their community as much as they claim.

Like others, I too was sent here by Support when I requested that they add additional Type of Ride tags to fit common bicycle rides that don't really match the limited currently available categories. I requested Errand, and Recreation/Leisure - both of which I see that another commenter also requested (years ago!) for runs.

So, how about it, Strava, support your community by giving us the tags we need instead of acting like training/racing is the only use that matters?

@jdarrow001 yeah, I can't believe all the different small but to me significant features that have accumulated on my wishlist over the years... And here I am, still paying for my subscription while Strava (seems to) ignore (seemingly) basic quality of life fixes. 😑

@Ewald   Agreed. I already cancelled my renewal. I don’t use most of the paid features that supposedly add value, and the ones I do use are either available elsewhere or not really necessary. 

in my mind the one thing truly missing from a device companion app like Garmin Connect or Polar Flow is the ability to do customizable analysis on the raw data. I don’t want YOUR analysis of my data Strava. I want a dashboard and front end to do my own, for my own goals and purposes, which may have nothing to do with trying to run faster and go pro.

Custom user defined tags and the ability to export a My Activities search on tags as a csv or xls would be essential first steps to providing actual value for money, from my view.

Yes please add this feature!

When we classify a run on strava, we only have 3 options: “Training”, “Race” or “Long Run”.

My suggestion is that there should be more options such as: Fartlek, Interval Training, Progressive Training, Rhythm Training, Running Training, among all the other possible types of training.

It would be better if we could define the types of training ourselves, then each person would have the option of better adapting to their training method.

It would also be interesting if this data could be filtered for viewing in Training Control.

It’s boggled me why there aren’t more run types - fun run, intervals, track workout, fartlek, tempo, etc. either expand the types or as this post suggests, let users define their own tags.

So, 2 years later, still not implemented?! Come on, it’s just an SQL table with a bit of front-end JS. 😮

I can't even find where to add tags to an activity. Do I do that in a browser, or the iPhone app, or some other way?  My entries are ending up with tags but I don't know where they are coming from.  Most of my entries are posts created by the Team ICG indoor trainer app.  It's such a basic function, i can't believe this hasn't been added.  Also, more granularity for ride type would be great.  I'd like to be able to filter by indoor trainer vs. road rides.

Please consider making a simple update to add a "tag" or "flag" for activities that can later be filtered. This allows you to track your dog's activities and mileage just like you would your own. Not only is this cool, catchy "dog tag" get it? It is also a valuable metric for managing the wellness of your pet.

I have proposed this idea previously, and it was combined with an idea to add entire activities for dog related sports like canicross. That idea has since been closed as not being pursued by Strava. This was not my request, I do not wish for an entire new activity. I simply want a way to track my dogs mileage without having to create a separate account for them. Which btw, is against Strava policies but happens anyway because there is no better alternative such as the one I propose. I also know this would be a relatively easy feature to add technically. A couple hours of dev work and a minor app release is about all it takes.

For reference this is the dog activity thread

I think this is a great idea.  Please add the dog tag.

[Jacquietok]

Agree - this would be awesome

[jorunswithdogs]

Great idea!

[Charlotte2]

I'd love this feature!

[dbranco]

Nice idea for the feature
