Long time

I have used this app for a long time I use it a lot and love that I can share and compete with friends all over the globe.
Why Background App Refresh?
FlyingEar
My old tracker app was not going to be supported by iOS 11 and a friend recommended Strava. I really like the app and appreciate that it does everything I need despite the focus on social networking which isn't my cup of tea. The one thing that really bugs me is Strava's requirement for Background App Refresh to be active. I never needed to have that on for my previous tracker and I don't even need it for most apps which handle GPS and data functions just like Strava. I usually leave that function off to preserve battery life so it is an extra step (along with turning on location services) I have to take when starting Strava. If it could be updated to eliminate that requirement, I would give this app 4.5 stars (I know I have to pick an integer).
Great except duplicate entries

Strava consistently duplicates old cycling Apple Health entries giving me 2, 3 and sometimes 4 times the mileage that I actually ride. Each entry is an exact duplicate including the date and time. Evidently this is a long standing bug that Strava can't reproduce themselves.
Great tech, great community

Strava return my interest in knowing my numbers, keep training and do not give up. Connect me to others riders at same level and goals. I feel ignored without my Strava results... ?
Great tool, needs a few more features.
Running back to Garmin
Converted over from Nike Run app to Strava a few months ago and I’m loving it! I use my Apple Watch 3 and pay for the pro version. I find that the app and watch work very well together. Overall very pleased. I do however wish there were more options for (a) goal setting and (b) workouts: (A) I do wish I could set more than just a weekly and yearly mileage goals, being able to reach a pace goal or a run distance goal would be great for motivation. (B) one of the features I miss about my Garmin was being able to set a goal distance or time or split pace for the run i.e. 6.5 mi or 60min or 9min/mi instead of having to constantly look at my watch to see when I have reached that point. I also wish there was a feature to set up workouts for the week I.e tempo run on Tue at various paces. This feature especially has me turning back to my Garmin when I train for big races.
