Strava Review
Strava is the social network for athletes. Runners and cyclists use it to track activities, compare segments and cheer each other on. The free version covers the basics well, while subscribers get advanced analytics. Some users feel too many useful features moved behind the paywall.
Community reviews
Kudos and comments from friends make me more likely to finish a planned run. Segments add a competitive edge.
I track distance, pace and routes without paying. The subscription is only worth it if you want detailed analysis.
Many features that used to be free now require Premium. It is still useful but the value proposition changed.
Strava can reveal too much about your home location if you do not adjust the privacy zones. Worth checking immediately.
Pros
- Strong social features
- Detailed activity tracking
- Huge community of athletes
Cons
- Best features now require subscription
- Battery drain on long activities
- Privacy settings can be confusing
