Strava is a global community with millions of members. Each one of you has valuable feedback on how to improve Strava and we welcome your ideas and feature suggestions. We know that each idea is important to you, however please remember that it is not feasible to implement every idea we receive.
To fully participate in the Community Hub, including Ideas, please ensure that your associated Strava (strava.com) account is fully completed and that you are logged in to the Hub.
A few things to note:
- We read and review 100% of the ideas submitted
- We receive a large number of ideas, and even some very popular ideas will not make it to the implementation stage
- Popular ideas (ideas that get lots of votes) will be regularly surfaced to our Product Teams for review
- The number of votes an idea gets is only one factor that’s considered when we plan our roadmap
- When we receive updates from our Product Teams on the status of an idea, we will share as much information as we can
- We strive to be transparent as possible, but please remember that we may not explain or justify why we might prioritize the development of some features over others
- We appreciate your enthusiasm and passion for Strava. In order to keep the Ideas space productive, uncivil or mean spirited comments or any other content that violates the Community Hub Guidelines may be removed without warning
