I’m getting quite tired of doing Strava’s trust and safety work for them each day. Strava, you need to dial up your investment in this area—as a (paying) subscribing this really makes me want to find alternatives. ### 4/5 — great but *2026-08-25, version 477.0.0* the only reason I give it 4 and not 5 is because I have runna, I pay for Runna, they are the same owners right? why should I pay for two separate apps? they serve the same purpose, if anything Runna has more ### 2/5 — GPS tracking is terrible *2026-08-24, version 477.0.0* I went for an “8 mile” run with my friend yesterday , after completing the run - going off my strava we realised the gps had completely overestimated the distance on the app, my friends garmin showed we actually ran 20% less distance. When looking on the maps it showed mine was all fuzzy and was adding extra distance in. So frustrating when I’m trying to train for a half marathon and I think I’ve been running less distance for such a long time. ### 4/5 — Password issue resolved… *2026-08-22, version 477.0.0* I’m updating my review because they resolved the issue I was having with changing my password. I really enjoy this app and love a lot of the functionality and community aspects. It is the best app I’ve used for tracking workouts, runs, hikes, connecting with others, etc. I do think it should be easier to reach customer service when issues are access related, but they came through and got it fixed so I’m updating my review to four stars. If they improve access to live customer service agents (especially when issues are access related), I’ll update my review to five stars. Overall, great app! ### 2/5 — Punishes free users *2026-08-21, version 477.0.0* Although Strava’s free version is… fine, it is all but impossible to use without getting pushed to pay. You are forced into a month-long trial of the premium version. Subsequently every single screen has about four or five different “previews” of features or banners advertising premium. It’s obnoxious and infuriating for a user who doesn’t want or need the premium. I am never going to pay for glorified Facebook - please, please stop asking me to. ### 5/5 — The standard *2026-08-21, version 477.0.0* Strava has been part of my life for many years. It’s where I track and interact with my biking and running friends. ### 1/5 — Widget stopped working *2026-08-20, version 477.0.0* The widget stopped working ### 2/5 — App stopped working suddenly *2026-08-20, version 477.0.0* I downloaded this application few days ago, 3 days in a raw I posted my activities. Yesterday suddenly it’s not working, I can’t even log in . ### 4/5 — Love Strava; Don’t really need the subscription *2026-08-20, version 477.0.0* Strava’s best paid feature is the absence of “There is so much more to Strava…” pop-ups. Dismissing those is an endurance sport of its own. ### 5/5 — yeah you should get it *2026-08-20, version 476.0.0* i’ve used this app for around a year and a half and have been extremely pleased with it. as a cross country and track runner, i’ve found this app not only to be really fun, but very useful for tracking stats and providing good info about my mileage. anyone from professionals to beginners should get this app because it suits all your needs and also has crazy aura if you bag some strava huzz. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Платно *2026-08-25, version 477.0.0* Все платно, зачем это нужно ### 1/5 — Sub *2026-08-23, version 477.0.0* I wanted to use the app to find local bike trails. But it keeps bugging me to sub whenever I try to check out a route. Not worth it ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me create a password *2026-08-23, version 477.0.0* I can’t login as it won’t let me create a password and now locked me out for 1 hour ### 1/5 — Incredibly aggressive subscription prompts *2026-08-22, version 477.0.0* The developers of this once-great app have prioritized profits and greed above all else! Most functions are now paywalled, and with almost EVERY TAP or SCREEN you move into, you’ll be greeted with either a button, a banner, or FULL SCREEN prompt to buy a subscription!!! 🤬you and your 🤬 greed!!! ### 1/5 — Randomly shuts down *2026-08-22, version 477.0.0* The app will randomly shut down/stop tracking you for multiple kilometres after 10K. No explanation or reason. It will also randomly shoot your average KM split to 20 minutes, basically nuking your average pace. Would absolutely not recommend. ### 1/5 — Gay *2026-08-22, version 477.0.0* Gay app to show off your gay runs to your gay friends. Can’t connect my $450 smart watch which is also gay. No useful guides online not worth the trouble ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2026-08-22, version 477.0.0* Its very overrated.not accurate & a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Greedy company and no customer support *2026-08-22, version 477.0.0* How this app has 4.8 stars in incredible. Customer support is awful ai that doesn’t even function. I literally can’t login to my account and to get support, I need to login to my account. Explain that logic. ### 1/5 — new update makes the app unusable. *2026-08-21, version 477.0.0* the recent update makes actually using the app to record an activity a nightmare. i am forced to watch the same 2 second video every time i hit upload, but if i tap anything on accident there will be a slew of pop ups - it is way overdone. that’s all not to mention the several infamous price hikes of the past few years, none of which improved app quality particularly. ### 1/5 — Poor function and support *2026-08-21, version 477.0.0* Got a new apple watch recently, and thought I'd check out the fitness app all my friends rave about. Issue is, it will not capture my heart rate. Has all permissions, I'm a "premium" subscriber, confirmed its paired with my watch, but nothing. Their support is just an AI chatbot that cycles through the same 3 unhelpful "fixes." Its a shame cause I really wanted to like the app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2026-08-25, version 477.0.0* Easy to use, attractive layout. I love seeing the maps of my routes and adding up my mileage week to week and all year. And it helps you find good running routes of the length you want. An excellent resource. ### 5/5 — My review *2026-08-25, version 477.0.0* Useful, easy to use, fun. ### 5/5 — My motivation to ride *2026-08-25, version 477.0.0* I love this app do that I’m disabled. It helps me see what I write daily or when I’m out there writing I thanked him for this service. I love it. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2026-08-25, version 477.0.0* I have always been an active person but ever since Strava it has bolstered me to do even more due to the social aspect of the app, being able to see what your friends are up to motivates you to try new sports and get out and exercise. It has gained me many new friends whom I can talk about excercise to. The app also has made me feel better about myself ### 5/5 — W app *2026-08-24, version 477.0.0* W app got me to run a lot more and got me into so much better habits ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-24, version 477.0.0* I’m really enjoying Strava. I started using it just to track fun mountain bike rides. I started racing and used it to track that. Now I’m using it to track my training and seeing great gains. ### 5/5 — Triple T says it works well and is a solid platform *2026-08-22, version 477.0.0* You will worship Triple T ### 5/5 — Strava is my social media *2026-08-22, version 477.0.0* Best app ever ### 5/5 — Training Log is uggly *2026-08-21, version 477.0.0* Your training log screen is ugly. This green kills my eyes! ### 5/5 — Great workout tracker *2026-08-21, version 477.0.0* It’s awesome for keeping track of all my workouts and even gives good feedback --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
