From discussions I've had with people at Strava, they're trying to be more focused on implementing a few key features really well. When the original founders returned in 2018 or 2019, the app had a ton of features that had been half integrated, couldn't be found in order to be used, etc etc. They paired back things that weren't working, moved to focus on revenue (as they weren't going to be able to grow into the social network for all activities like they tried). I think it's the right strategy, but this move makes no sense. It's very easy for them to manage duplicate data, and I'm surprised to see them suggest users set-up their garmin device to connect directly to Apple. This essentially makes it easier for strava to be cut out of the loop in the future if the social aspect isn't working for you. |

My normal morning jog goes under a large bridge. This often confuses my phone's GPS, leading it to return a spurious point or two a kilometer away. Strava is completely incapable of detecting these spikes (accelerating to 200 km/h when running is normal right?) and offers no way to edit them out afterwards, meaning all my speed and distance records, progression charts etc are ruined by junk data.
