C’mon it’s Strava, the standard app for workout tracking
There’s a few things that annoy me about the app, some of which may be strava’s issue and some of which may be apple’s limitations on integration and data access. Mainly because I use my Apple Watch to track my heart rate. So I can get heart rate integration only in Apple’s workouts app. I can’t work out how to get an integrated view of heart rate AND power in Strava. Apple’s workout app is hit and miss with the power integration, even when my watch connects via Bluetooth to the power meter. I wish Strava could do this integration for me.
What it really could use is a way ‘merge’ workouts that Strava imports from both my Apple watch and from my Wahoo ELEMNT bike computer. I often have to review each of them and then delete or hide one or the other in the app.
Strava PLEASE work with Apple on getting read access to Apple Watch heart rate data and read/write access to cycling power data!
Otherwise there’s little to complain about. Strava works well for me otherwise.

Great app but a few suggestions
This app is great, and is amazing for tracking weekly mileage, shoe mileage, and other people’s runs. It’s also great for looking back and seeing how past activities felt. However, the design of it could use some improvements. First is the discrepancies between the browser and app. The app now has dark mode but why not the browser version? The browser has a different look and has entirely different ways of seeing data that aren’t in the app or some data that can’t be seen. Most importantly, why doesn’t the app have correct distance? The best thing would be to take the best parts of each and combine them together to be more similar. A change I didn’t like was that to see your own profile you have to click into a different tab which is annoying, overall design and layout could be improved. Also some random bugs, when importing from Apple Watch it miscalculates the elevation which should be fixed. Again, absolutely great app but these changes would make it seem more polished and user friendly.

Dark mode.
Finally. Honestly I have used Strava for so many years now there is no way I could give it less than 5 stars but dark mode finally finishes it off. One day I will find a good enough excuse to subscribe but the free version is just ideal for casual users who want to make outdoor exercise into a game.
Love you Strava, always have.
