Help please! No support from developer and link to app support is an error page. Please assist , I’m frustrated! ### 5/5 — Great app to track your walk/run *2025-12-29, version 3.7* I use this app every day on my walk and explore different areas of town . ### 3/5 — Fun app but hard to unsubscribe and no support *2025-09-15, version 3.7* I was just charged for an annual subscription but my Apple app shows I’m unsubscribed. Help please! ### 4/5 — More Competitions Please *2025-04-27, version 3.7* Fun app, helps me hit the trails. The competitions and peer interplay are too sparse, though. You’d attract more users with more competitions. So far, there was only one this year! ### 1/5 — SWITCH TO AIRPLANE MODE BEFORE YOU FINISH AN ACTIVITY AND IT WONT SHOW YOU ADVERTS. *2025-03-20, version 3.7* Paid for the full version and none of the features work. No Strava import, no garmin import. No Apple health import, emailed support and had no reply. Contacted on insta, no reply, contacted on Reddit, no reply, the link for support on their app in the AppStore is a dead link, it’s an absolute joke. DO NOT PAY FOR THE FULL VERSION! SWITCH TO AIRPLANE MODE BEFORE YOU FINISH AN ACTIVITY AND IT WONT SHOW YOU ADVERTS. ### 1/5 — Utterly pointless *2024-11-22, version 3.7* They do NOTHING about people quite clearly cheating. Its a waste of time even downloading this ### 1/5 — Everything has to be subscription these days.. *2024-10-11, version 3.7* Scam ### 3/5 — Many recent improvements but too many faults. *2024-04-02, version 3.5.4* Updated Mar 2024. Let year’s major update with the new interface and removal of ads was very welcome. The app is much, much better designed now, and quicker. However, I record all my activities as Apple workouts and they are supposed to import automatically. Around 1 in 3 do not do so, and there is no way to pull them manually as a backup. This is a bit of a showstopper for me, and the reason I’m not prepared to subscribe. The scoring system needs a tweak. It’s fine that each hex counts how many visits by each player over the last 60 days only, but it shouldn’t actually recalculate unless someone visits the hex. You shouldn’t be able to gain a hex while you sleep - that’s clearly nonsense. Previous review: The app works well now, integrates with apple health and the Apple Watch well, so it just automatically imports any activity you record using your standard app (eg apple or Strava etc), and it is fun to try to hold onto your territory and steal your neighbour’s. I definitely choose my walks based on where I need to grab some hexes. My only remaining gripe is that the scoring is a little bizarre. Hexes change hands without anyone logging an activity. Worse, sometimes you grab a hex on a walk, and the activity shows you took it, but when the map updates it’s not showing as yours. Can’t finding the actual scoring rules anywhere. So the app is a little bit of fun, an extra dimension to your walks and runs, but not something I would pay for I’m afraid, at least not what they’re asking. ### 2/5 — A few bugs still *2024-02-14, version 3.4* A great idea but quite frustrating. I understand the ads, they need to make money, but it’s very frustrating when it’s linked to Stava but won’t update the activity, or says it is the same as another recording so again dosn’t log anything. Also, all the options in the menu work, except the feedback one! Hopefully they’ll read this and get it fixed. I certainly won’t be paying for it until it works properly. ### 4/5 — Great *2024-01-03, version 3.0* Really enjoy it. Bit pricey for the subscription, but works great on the free version! Would love a version for biking though ! ## Frequently asked questions about Stride ### What does Stride do?
