Relive aren't the only ones in this game. We at https://ayvri.com https://ayvri.com create interactive 3d videos, and you can connect your Strava account. Unlike most in this thread, I believe the argument from Strava is valid. Relive built their brand, app, and community of users on top of Strava, they now are usurping those users and have re-created a complete app ecosystem which mimics much of what Strava already provide. In my personal opinion, the world doesn't need another fitness tracking app or community. There are so many out there already. What we, and to a lesser degree Relive, provide can be so much more. Though we look like a sports tracking app, because that is a large volume of our usage, we also have business in commercial drone operations, wild life research, city planning and more. I'm from Whistler, Canada, so I love outdoor sports, but that doesn't mean that every feature should become a fitness tracking app.

Most peoples data doesn't originate from Strava, right? At least not anyone I know (runners, MTB'ers, cyclists, triathletes). Nearly every single one I know uses a Garmin, Suunto, Polar or Wahoo device. Maybe a couple use a phone, but even then I don't think they record with Strava. Heck even my retired parents have a Garmin first... Relive works with (at least) Garmin, so that's how I sync to it first, then I sync to Strava... so for me, and many many others, Strava is just a 3rd party app to Garmin. Garmin could play the strong hand and cut off Strava's access to the API and they'd suffer quite a bit too. Disclosure: Strava member since 2011, Premium/Summit member since 2013. But, after 6 years of paying, this is turning me off. I won't be renewing Summit at the next renewal (especially since there haven't really been many useful features added over free)

  Anecdotally, myself and nearly all my friends just use Strava phone app to record the rides. For me the benefits of using an external device are essentially zero, battery used to be an issue on long rides but even this now seems to have been solved by the app.
