The leader of the market. However, UI is not intuitive and web version leaves much to be desired

I chose strava because it’s simple, reliable, and has a strong community vibe.

This app turns my workouts into something i actually look forward to. tracking distance, pace, and elevation feels effortless, and the community vibe helps me stay consistent. it’s like having a fitness journal and social feed in one app. User-friendly Workout tracking Motivational features Running support Sometimes the gps can glitch a bit, especially in crowded areas or under trees. i also wish some of the premium features were available in the free version, like advanced stats or route suggestions. a bit more customization for goals would be nice too.

The app is fine but it’s their data grab. By using their app you give them rights to use your health data and even your photos any way they see fit. Which is an awful invasion of privacy. They also make it very difficult to go back and delete your images, you have to scroll back and do it individually. They want to charge for their app (fine) push ads AND collect your data…. To probably sell on, they are obviously schooled in the Adobe Photoshop school of customer service.

I've been using Strava since its launch, and it's consistently been one of my favorite apps. The best part about Strava is the social network it fosters — it's active, vibrant, and completely user-generated. Whether you're tracking a simple run or a complex ride, the app's performance is rock-solid, and the community engagement is fantastic. It's not just about recording your workouts but connecting with like-minded athletes, getting motivated by others' achievements, and sharing your own progress. Strava has truly nailed the social aspect of fitness!

★☆☆☆☆

Worst app ever. No features work as they should. Auto pause works sometimes, others you might get credit for half or some of your ride. Route planning, links, aren't working most of the time. I've gotten credit for hitting top speed of 74 MPH on a casual ride. Don't waste your time, and especially, don't waste your money.

Wonderful app. Tracking bike rides has become not just convenient, but exciting like charting a route to new achievements. Great motivation for the next trip, for exploring new roads! It's really cool to see the results visually.
