I'm very interested in how little Strava seem to have got done in the last several years. Same thing happened to endomondo. Are they related? The inertia is surprising.
I dislike hardware based lockin but recently suunto have added features to their new app that have pushed it past the others for route planning for me (like you can do it on a phone then sync route), to my surprise.
When I first joined Strava it felt like they were doing cool stuff with segments but it stagnated.

- rlonstein 7y ago> Endomondo seemed to stop evolving around the time it was acquired by Under Armour. I've noticed the same. Among my issues with it is that the accuracy of distance traveled has been way off for more than two years. Some releases it tracks optimistically high, other releases it tracks consistently low. This has been persistent over multiple phones and multiple Android releases. I've compared it to Google maps, mapmyrun, and my car odometer and it's always off. I'm strongly tempted to write my own "anti-social fitness app" that just collects data and exports it.
- organsnyder 7y agoThat's pretty much what Google MyTracks was. Of course, it's been discontinued.
- jacurtis 7y agoEvery time Under Armour buys an app it completely stops growing or improving the app. Any fitness app developers out there need to know that selling to Under Armour means the end of your app.

- sorenjan 7y agoThey hadn't released anything new for a long time when that happened either. There doesn't seem to be any pressure to innovate in the fitness tracker space.
