Great app to track your walk/run
I use this app every day on my walk and explore different areas of town .

More Competitions Please
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!
SWITCH TO AIRPLANE MODE BEFORE YOU FINISH AN ACTIVITY AND IT WONT SHOW YOU ADVERTS.
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!

Utterly pointless
They do NOTHING about people quite clearly cheating. Its a waste of time even downloading this
Everything has to be subscription these days..
Scam
Many recent improvements but too many faults.
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.

A few bugs still
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.

Great
Really enjoy it. Bit pricey for the subscription, but works great on the free version!
Would love a version for biking though !

Ruined
I used to use this app all the time, however they now have introduced a new feature where you can’t complete your activity without ether watching an ad or paying for the full version. This puts me off wanting to use this app if I have to watch an ad every time or pay money, I hope this feature is removed in the future.

Makes running fresh again
This app has totally changed my behavior with running. Before the app I would do the same runs all the time and get bored with the monotony. But now, Stride has led me to explore totally new routes to both fill in my personal exploration map and also to snag hexes in competition with other runners. The Stride map becomes a fun tool to strategize new places to run to take over the leaderboard in your town or fill in the gaps in your hexes. Wish list: satellite view for the map and a few other map tweaks, but overall it has all the pieces in place to make running around you feel fresh.

Good App ruined
Mandatory adverts after each run/walk has ruined this.
Long Distance Runners get all the advantage.
It’s a fun idea but severely lacking in the gameplay aspects. I am car free and walk around my neighborhood (6+ blocks in all directions) multiple times a day, but never can get ownership because of how they calculate area. Basically, long distance runners do a 20 mile loop three tomes a week and get credit for EVERY space inside that loop. They have never been on my street, much less so often they should get game credit for most visits. I suggested a few ways to weigh the credits to makenit more engaging for non-marathoners but I never got so much as an acknowledgment from the developers. Deleted.

App got WORSE here’s why…
This is my second year using Stride. When it first came out I was a fan of the concept. Today, I’m not a fan anymore. I just ran an 9 min mile in a new location I haven’t been to and once I was done, I went to a park, not too far away and did a 4 mile hike, not even touching or anywhere near my precious territory. After about 75 minutes later, completing my hike and submitting my activity, the app gives me a message, telling me that it’s not accepting my activity because it’s a “duplicate activity”—please! How can this be anywhere remotely duplicate to the short run I did earlier? So I did all that hike for NOTHING. If this sort of thing doesn’t get resolved, I will certainly not be using this app again. NOT A FAN! 👎

Used to be good
I used to like it but support seems to have disappeared and runs don’t sync sometimes. I haven’t renewed my subscription as I suspect the app has been abandoned.
Great app but has room for improvement
This is a great app that keeps you motivated to run by turning it into a game. I especially love how it almost forces you to explore new places. However, there is room for improvement. One feature I would love to have is auto pause or at least a start count down. Another feature that I think would improve the dynamic of the game is to add “hex decay”where a captured hex will decay over time if not visited. I think this feature will make the game a little more competitive as runners will have to revisit their captured hexes from time to time in order to keep them.

Players cheating
First of all, I would like to tell you that your app is awesome. It’s a great motivation to run and walk, especially in places I rarely go. I’m a paying player and I believe that the price is good for what I get in return.
But, you can’t let players cheat. There’s one player, ranked number two in the world on the app right now, who just broke the world record for 165km. Come on! It’s clear that this run is not a run. We would have heard something if someone would have broke a world record. Those cheaters are not good for your app. Take care of the cheaters please.

Great app except…
I love using this app it has been the best thing to keep me motivated, however recently, just a day ago it wouldn’t let me back into the app. Instead it would force me to pick a username again, once I picked any and all usernames I could think of it kept giving me the unavailable message. Is this a bug or is the app officially disabled?
