I think you hit it dead on. This is design by committee and organizational dysfunction.
Strava has been flailing for years now, dropping much used features and just generally antagonizing its customer base. It's a wonder they're still around and as widely used as they are. Just goes to show how many bad decisions you can absorb as a market leader, I suppose.
- chairmanwow1 4y agoWhat is a good alternative? I want some analytics / tools for training specific distances.
- camel_gopher 4y agoTrainerRoad is outstanding for structured training. Doesn't have the social aspect.

- mbesto 4y agohttps://intervals.icu/ https://intervals.icu/ - for the lazy The app is incredible if you're a data junky and very serious about performance. Strava is more sexy about maps and sharing though.
- InCityDreams 4y agoIntervals has maps and can be shared. I'm already in a couple of groups. Getting more people to jump across may be easier, now. Thanks strava.
- amateurdev 4y agoIf you're a Garmin device user, the app is pretty good! I only recently started using their app more often and barring the social aspects, I dont think Strava offers me anything more. HR zones, recovery etc are all already in the Garmin app whereas its paid on Strava. I guess for those who want routes/segments might gravitate towards Strava but I use a fairly standard set of routes so I dont value in that either.
- ohyoutravel 4y agoSmashRun https://smashrun.com/ https://smashrun.com/ if you do only running activities. It’s great. Though while I pay for that, I also pay for strava since 2012 and will continue to do so. Disagree with grandparent post, I think strava has become better and better over time and I find it more engaging and useful than before.
- stephencoyner 4y agoAgreed it would seem there is a lack of product vision at this point
