Are you a regular Strava user? How many of these features did you already know about? Let us know 👇
257000+ people noticed Si's broken screen
I finally understood the commute feature, sort of. I did a research recently and found no clue what was it. I guess, if it's so helpful, Strava should explain it and talk about it.
How about something on Sharing a ride on FB? There used to be several options, like adding a photo or showing your map or stats-none of this seems available any more? What about combining your Profile photo with your stats for example? Cheers!
They made is avialable for money – used to be free.
No way I pay for it. Go * strava
Is everyone paying the monthly subscription or are you using it free?
Wow!
constantly amazed by apps like this that use as little description as possible so you need to wait for a "hidden features" vid to find them. Dialog and script take up so little computing space but they still want to force you to remember to shake your phone then click all athletes to Kudos bomb them…instead of doing the intelligent thing and just putting an easy to see and understand Kudos bomb button on the screen….dev's try to be cool by using tiny icons and two words instead of a description..its like clean signaling…who can put the least helpful stuff on the screen so as to look minimal and smart.
its too bad our brain-fluid govt does not use an app like this to financially reward cyclists-etc for exercising and staying healthy instead of clogging the medical system with obese people. Instead of spending billions to keep us in fear of colds they could pay far less to keep us healthy and strong….what a concept!
Can you pair a power meter to Strava?
No "Dark Mode" for Android or IOS app yet sooo…..
Well, the shaking feature surprised me. 😄
Let aries from strava know what you think of cheaters
That commute button use was a totally new feature, thanks. Makes me wonder why they don't offer an option to default to this tag on for all rides for those who are willing to opt-in and share their ride routes. On a side note, which one of you GCN fans wants to start a go-fund-me page to get a new screen protector for Si before he cuts his fingers?
What!!!!!! I can crop on strava!!!! Omg I wish I knew this forever ago.
Another hidden secret is that they leak information and stuff, like they leaked pretty secret military stuff 😂 (I’ve heard)
Metro I not see point of but as I always cycle on road without issues
One hidden Strava feature you didn’t mention was stealthy doubling the annual fee in some regions
Ra
Occasionally, I'll hit a new personal record (doesn't happen often😅) but it won't record in the official rankings. When this happens, it incredibly frustrating. Does anyone know how to get this to stop. I have bested my old PR on one of my favorite segments about a half dozen times over the last year, but my slower one always remains. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Still no spoken turn by turn directions…. what a shame
GCN needs to do a Course with Segments about avoiding damage to your phone – See @3:00
KUDOSES
came to learn some new features but only learned the extent of the presenters ingnorance. unless he is just pretending he did not know for the sake of a sponsored video
ladies and non gentlemen start your engines…. uses a ebike to go 400w for 1hr every day fabrice blandin strava user # 28513409
Can I get personalized recommendations on Strava to improve my personal performance? I want to find a trainer online if possible.
Is there a way to record a ride in Strava and re-ride it using a turbo trainer?
what is definitely not a feature is the elevate data sync. hope now when one installs it on the desktop app it stays there because it takes hours if not days to sync up. This is just simple data, no video, no fotos, no audio.
For what on earth am i actually paying for that service. Ah I forgot just canceled!
How friendly is this app with ebikes? Can the program differentiate an ebike and a normal bike?
Thanks
Strava can get in the sea after their recent short notice API changes that caused a lot of unnecessary stress for integration partners. Their stance towards data that the user has uploaded and how its user is wild and a total misstep from them.
Combined with how horrible the UX is on the app if you don't subscribe (and how limited those features actually are when you do subscribe) it's been a service that I'm happy to use less and less.
Does Strava app also work with ANT Plus heart rate/ cadance speed etc?
nothing new
Wow amazing wig
