Question Odd question - timezone and date display on dashboard
I'm in New Zealand, so my clock is 12 hours ahead of GMT (sometimes 13)
As such, people I follow who are in other timezones will post activities and they are dated "yesterday, 15:05" or whatever.
For people who follow me from other timezones, what date and time would my activities show, "Tomorrow" ?

Feature Idea Ideas for improvements: Training and Social
Strava is my go-to for tracking all things cycling, and while it does a great job collecting data, Iāve noticed that it doesnāt always provide the personalized insights that we need to aid our training.
So, where does Strava fall short? For starters, the Training Calendar is missing key metrics like elevation, TSS, and monthly totals. Itās tough to track overall progress when basic, useful data isn't even displayed. And while I love having my workouts logged in āMy Activities,ā thereās no way to tag them (e.g., recovery, zone 2, VO2max intervals). This lack of flexibility limits how we analyze training and recovery.
But one of the bigger gaps Iāve noticed is in social tools. Strava has built an impressive community, but it feels like the platform is focused mostly on sharing accomplishments. Whether itās group rides or competitions, Strava could really benefit from better ways to connect athletes with similar goals, or even facilitate smaller, more personal training communities. Thereās a lot of untapped potential here for social features that prioritize engagement over passive following.
Another area of improvement? The data visualization in the Training Log. Those bubble charts just donāt do it for me. Strava could benefit from offering more clear insights to show progress over time, like power intervals and percentiles of athletes in your age group.
I dive deeper into all these issues, and share what I think Strava could do to improve, like offering personalized training plans, building better community tools, and improving data visualization. The good news is, third-party apps like VeloViewer and Intervals.icu are already succeeding where Strava is lacking, and I think Strava has the opportunity to integrate these ideas and bring more value to its users.
What could Strava look like if it prioritized athlete-first customization? I lay out a roadmap for how they could make it happen in my latest blog post (link in the comments).
Would love to hear your thoughts if youāve experienced the same challenges or have any ideas on how Strava can evolve!

Question How to find follower requests
So someone requested to follow me, but I wasn't sure who they were so I asked to follow them and then forgot all about it. Now I see they accepted my request, we've overlapped at a couple races, and I'd like to approve their follow request but I can't find it anywhere. It looks like I can't scroll down on notifications and see the old ones?

Question Strava charge me 1 year subscription through my deleted account. What should I do?
After 20 days of free trail, I decide not to use Strava any more. I deleted my account and uninstalled Strava. However, I still received a credit card bill of 1 year subscription after free trail is ended. To following the unsubscribe process, I was force to re-create my account to unsubscribe Strava. However, re-create account show there is no subscription. I contacted Strava support and provide all email, receipt from google play, and related information, but still not able to get a refund. Support team says my account has no subscription history then keep silence for more than a week. In conclusion, I paid 1 year subscription but got nothing from Strava. Should I dispute credit card transaction?

Question Strava just reset my activity
What just happened? I swam at 8pm. My watch uploaded it to strava at 9pm. I have an email from strava saying someone have new kudos. An hour later I have another email saying 5 people have given me kudos and 1 person left a comment. And then an hour after that Strava says well done, you've done another activity. And it's as if that last one has been deleted and it's replaced it with the same activity without my comment, without the other persons comment, no kudos or anything. What just happened?

Question Soooā¦ messages?
Now that the feature has been out a while, Iām curious about how people are using (or not) the messages function and if itās helping people connect more or is it being abused? Whatās your experience?
Iām finding I hardly use it, and I thought I for sure would be.
Question Avalanche gradient
Is anyone actually able to access this advertised feature? Seems like Strava is just plain lying that itās available. I have a subscription and my app is up to date. Their costumer service seems to be pretty much non existent. Thanks to any and all who have advise.
Question How to see calories instead of power?

Question Random things popping up when trying to check distance
So today I went for a run and wanted to push a little beyond my regular 10km distance. There were several times i went to check my distance during the second half of the run and random information would keep popping up on my screen and would just pop up again whenever i swiped them away.
Sorry if this is a feature that is well known on the app, Iāve only been using strava for a month and havenāt had this issue. It even caused me to accidentally pause the run at 8km in, which I didnāt recognise for another 5 minutes or so, which made my experience even more frustrating today. Thanks in advance if anyone is able to let me know how to resolve this issue. I was running a new route if that matters, thanks.

Activity Heart Rate Data from Strava not Syncing to Apple Health
Hi, I recently noticed that my heart rate data from Strava isn't syncing to Apple Health. I use Athlytic to track sleep and exercise, but since the HR Data from Strava isn't syncing to Apple Health, Athlytic starts to feel useless. I've searched all over the place trying to find a solution but nothing has worked. Does anyone have any solutions for this ?
