You have to pay for everything
So yeah
Can’t manage subscription in the app
That’s a big 1 star for me, I can’t stand when companies do that.
Didn’t work.
Paid for a subscription and it never unlocked any of the features. It did however keep offering me a trial. I started the trial, which also didn’t give me any of the features. Wish I had my money back.
Charged for “free trial”
I was immediately charged $80 for what was supposed to be a one-month free trial, plus the poorly implemented app wouldn’t allow me to use these premium features. The worst part was fighting with an AI chatbot to create a support ticket with no response.
Too many paid plugs
The majority of the app has turned into a scheme to get people to sign up for the paid version. There should be separate apps. A solid free version and an outstanding paid version. It’s more frustrating than enticing the way it’s set up currently
Garbage
I connected my heart rate monitor to the app. Went on a run and watched my heart rate in the app on my phone during the run. After the run I have everything I need about the run saved except my heart rate. Never experienced this in another app. I’ve subscribed, read the FAQ articles, toggled all the toggles. I won’t be using this again. HR monitor is a Polar Flow Sense. It was connected during the run so it’s not a connectivity issue. Strava appears to be holding the data for more money. Workoutdoors is a much better app. Chat GPT lead me to Strava.

Paywall gets higher each year
Every year Strava takes away at least one feature and puts it behind the paywall. It’s ridiculous that I should have to pay a company to view the data I give it for free. My runs and bike rides get to be on their heat maps, but now I cannot view the heat map, or my own data for that matter. Bring the features back from behind the paywall, Strava.
Used to be the best
I’ve had Strava for years and loved it. It was one of the few apps I happily paid for. Lately, I’ve found it useless. Apple Watch connection with Fitness is buggy, along with blocking workout imports in an attempt to force precise location, background app refresh and share location setting to always. Totally unnecessary. Canceled
Fitness chart is useless
The fitness chart and relative effort doesn’t take training volume into consideration at all. I’m more fit than I’ve been in years and doing more volume than I have in years and my fitness score is flat because I’ve been in a base phase. In TrainingPeaks my fitness is steadily growing but in Strava my fitness score is flat. Also, when calculating my total volume stop using “moving time.” The moving time calculation is wildly inaccurate. I did a 4.5 hr nonstop workout in the mountains the other day and I only got credit for 3 hrs. Please fix your fitness algorithm. Please stop using “moving time” for anything. I’ll pause my watch if I want to stop moving and not have the time count.
Can’t log in
I’ve had this app for over a month was only able to login twice before it kicked me out. Every time I try to login it tells me that I’m an unauthorized user. When I try to find a contact to reach out to somebody for help, there is nothing to be found. I’m paying for the app and I can’t use it and can’t contact anybody to help me get in.
Relentless Emails!!!
Despite turning off email notifications in app, and unsubscribing in email client...they keep sending emails. Had to create a throwaway email account and changed my email to that one to stop getting pestered by this company.
Works well…until the tracker freaks out
I generally like this app for tracking my runs, but for some reason when tracking my runs, the position freaks out and is not reflective of the route I ran. It’s very obvious because my route looks like a child went ballistic and scribbled all over the map. It’s getting increasingly frustrating and I can’t tell what distance I actually ran. Honestly planning on a different tracking app at this rate. Update: The problem still persists and now it decides it wants to log me off and stop tracking mid run…
Ugh
I love this app, but I do not want Strava premium. Please stop shoveling it down my throat on every screen. It makes me not want to use this app for my runs.
Forces subscription
I hate that you can’t use a single feature without a subscription. I’m a college student who wants a fun app to track my runs and hikes but I’m not willing to pay for subscription just for that. I’d rather use the free fitness app on my watch that still does a map than use this
Shame on Strava
I deleted the app because they decided to become abusive of their ability to push notifications and app badges. I didn’t ask for that, I don’t want it, I won’t be back.
Customer Support is bad
Hopefully you’ll never need customer support bc they’re terrible.
Route maker is worse now
This app tried to update to be pretty but the route maker is now worse than it was. No longer will use Strava
Don’t forget to start your FREE TRIAL!!!!
When I download an app I try to look through it to see all the features of it and familiarize myself with its features. Anything that you want to view or look at generates the start your free trial pop up. All you did was piss me off. I deleted it, for free!
AI bloat
Can you give options to disable the AI bs? I’m tired of seeing instant workout garbage at the top when I open the app.
Something went wrong
I really really love this app. I used it for a one day and ever since then I can’t use it. I’ve tried everything but I just keep getting a red text that says something went wrong. I even created a new account and tried to login with that one same result. I contacted customer service today and they let me know that they probably won’t be answering my email anytime soon. I haven’t even made it out of the free trial yet and the app is completely unusable. I’m extremely disappointed.
Record screen freezes my phone
Obviously a bad update was pushed. My app instantly freezes when I tap on the tab to record a run. Any other tab works fine. I closed and reopened this app four times, and the same thing happens. I have to literally close the app when I hit record, because nothing else will work, no matter how long I wait.
Loves to crash
Had my best run ever and the app crashed while uploading. Couldn’t recover the activity no matter what I did
Too many pop ups
App is borderline unusable to me. I can’t access any of the “features” that I see because I don’t have the premium version. I just get a splash screen. It makes the app irritating to use. I’m curious how they believe this will convince people to give them $100.
Poor support
There support is glacially slow. 7 days to respond to account requests. I pay for a subscription and they dont even respond. No phone support. Good luck if your account gets messed up, you could lose all your activity data
Poor Customer Service
Had to take an injury break from Strava. Resubscribed from App Store but app still gives me sign up for free trial page instead of app features. Their customer service won’t respond and Apple says it’s Strava problem. But of course processed my payment.
