Do you have a special preview to play with the new Athlete Intelligence? or is that already available in the beta? To get beta is it just joining the beta in the play store? Finally, are all these new features (aside from dark mode I'm assuming) only for paid subscribers?
@@strongmen I think the AI stuff is special access right now but it will go full beta soon. Most of the training centric features are for paid subscribers but other more general features like Dark Mode and the club features will be for everyone.
The routes at night thing is one I didn't know I wanted. It's not safe to run here after dark anymore, and I'm looking to move to places where I could do that.
Hopefully rebuilding the app means they can at least allow us to alphabetize our shoes/gear. That’s all I really want 😢 (A gear search functionality would be better, but I’m trying to be realistic 😂)
Cannot wait for dark mode. Honestly. That's the only feature I am after here. Wouldn't it be peak strava to make that available for paying members only though? 😂
Hey Dave, I'm glad you got a chance to get out to LA to learn about the new Strava features for all of us, but now I am a bit worried. The biggest deal that Ray reported (I thought) was the AI Leaderboard Integrity where they were going to fix all the bogus data in the leaderboards (from people doing runs on bikes by mistake, or segments in their car forgetting to turn off tracking, or straight up hacking the data) that has been ruining the leaderboards for years. (Not sure why they need AI to determine that someone can't run uphill faster than Usain Bolt.) Now I'm concerned that this is not happening - can you confirm?
hope the discount of the family plan is significant. I am tired of the regional discrimination. Subscription fee in HK is almost 40% off compares with the fee in Canada.
I have a forerunner 965, Fenix 7x, Edge 1040+, and the Index scale. In your opinion what can Strava do/provide that Garmin doesn’t? I really don’t care about segments or social networking features. I used to pay for it but didn’t find value.
It’s really all about the social aspect of it. If you don’t care about that there’s not a lot of reason to sign up. The mapping/course creation is arguably better on Strava but Garmin is pretty good there too. The free plan does a lot as well if you just want to try it out.
@@ChaseTheSummit I do like the heat map on Strava better since there is more data. Most of the time I run/ride in areas I know so it isn’t that big of a deal. When I travel though the heat map is amazing! And it is available using the free Strava version.
I think Family Plan is for retention. They don't care who is on the plan; it's so people rely on you to not stop your subscription. If it wasn't for this video, I wouldn't have cared at all about strava updates. Very happy you went out. Did they bring you out or did you cover the trip?
All I really want is some way of limiting which activities will flow from Garmin to Strava. If I go boating or fishing, the activities flow to Strava leading to a 50 mile “swim”. Same goes for scuba diving. I’d like to not have to manually delete these. Just give me a series of toggles that limit what will flow, whether it’s in Garmin Connect or Strava.
It seems that they still did not release the feature that ride with GPS has where it shows you the routes that people actually did and posted without having to create new routes. Did I miss anything?
I just can't get over the fact that they straight out refused to implement a "Support Palestine" map like they did for Ukraine despite the immense suffering there as well as a large community requesting it specifically. This prevents me getting excited about anything Strava anymore and had me cancel my 10 year old subscription. Double standards are not nice and I don't want to be part of an elitist community. Dark mode... Really?
Anything about strava handling multisport activities? Swimrun activities completely ruined your listing of activities. This has been asked for for a very long time. Swimrun Monaco even made a listing that I think was sent to strava. But no reaction what so ever...
Stravas route builder is a bit nicer than garmin and COROS in my opinion but they all get the job done. The subscription also gives you access to some training tools as well but the free plan is pretty functional as well.
I have absolutely no interest in the Athlete Intelligence feature. Hopefully it can be disabled or easily ignored. I'm not going to change my training based on messages from a bot, but I guess every company has to stick AI into everything to keep investors happy these days.
From the outside it seems like a simple thing but after talking to the Strava team it took a team of software developers to achieve dark mode as the foundation of the strava app didn't support it. They essentially had to re-build the entire app for dark mode.
@@ChaseTheSummit They had to re-build the entire app for dark mode? Seriously? What an absolute waste of time and effort. There are literally hundreds of other requested features that Strava has ignored for years. Which all could have been achieved if they used a fraction of the developers and time they used to build dark mode.
@@dhfox322 from my understanding the effort wasn’t only for dark mode. They explained that the new infrastructure will make lots of future updates easier and faster.
I forgot to mention, these features are coming later this year with some coming earlier for beta users!

How do you sign up for beta testing?
Great to see Strava moving forward, it is the only social media platform out there, that produces the most "good" imo
Definitely interested in the family plans! 4:02

OMG that updated activity page looks dope, can't wait!
Certainly a welcome upgrade!
Thanks for the video. Kudos from Belize.

Fortunately it’s going to be available for everyone!

Yes, “verified best efforts” is part of the AI stuff coming down the road. It was briefly discussed so I’m not totally sure how it will work.
Dark Mode Finally!!

I hope they will finally let us default between moving time and elapsed time without having to select race
So... Chase the Summit trail run meet up at Lower Monroe trail in Glendora this Saturday? You got to hit some big hills since you are in SoCal. lol
I wish! I’m out of here tomorrow morning!
@@ChaseTheSummit oh man… Safe travels ✈️

AI evaluation of workout will help justify paying for Strava. Dark mode is long overdue and welcomed.
Do u know when the ai is coming for everyone . ( i am a strava subscriber and dont have it yet)
I thought I remembered hearing that Apple was working on some sort of AI coach as well. Maybe this is Strava leaping ahead?
I would be surprised if Apple did that. They usually leave training specific features to third party app.
No live segments for Apple Watch 😢
It seems that they still did not release the feature that ride with GPS has where it shows you the routes that people actually did and posted without having to create new routes. Did I miss anything?
But will keep it cutting off my miles 😂😂
😂
S0 cool!!
When arrives dark mode?
In beta now, it will be available for everyone later this summer.
Are these new features subscription only?
Most of the training/activity stuff is for subscribers only but the more general features like dark mode and club improvements are for everyone.

No Apple Watch app Update :( ?
Not yet

Not at this event
Technically you’d be competing with a younger version of yourself 😂
Ha! Right! I don't like the idea of that...
still don't see why people pay for this, but I don't create routes but do so on Garmin and Coros.

That athlete intelligence summary looks pretty cool, but I still don't think I'll pay for Strava.
Whoop does that already mate nothing new here
It's a bit different than Whoop as it's not simply just a "chat bot". Time will tell how this all works.
2024 and excited about Dark Mode. So lame

yawn, $143 a year for data and maps. Nope Nope Nope Garmin and Alltrails for me.
There’s also a free version
Athlete intelligence sounds dumb. That summary can easily be seen by anybody who just glances at their graphs.
Also dark mode is boring.
If that's your take stick with the free version! 👍
Yawn.
