Strava lanciert neue «soziale» App
The new Strava app features an improved newsfeed with new features to help members better connect with their friends on Strava. The app is now available in 11 languages, including Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Russian and traditional Chinese. This makes it easier for more athletes from all over the world to use it.
Even more socially oriented
The app's activity feed includes new features designed to emphasize Strava's social component like never before: photos taken during Instagram activities are displayed in the feed, allowing members to visually share the story of their training with others. More than one million Instagram photos have been shared since this feature was introduced to strava.com's activity feed in January 2013.
And what else is new?
In the comments section, there are now icons that allow you to recognize the achievements of fellow athletes with just one click or to make encouraging comments. Activities in which more than one member participates are referred to as group activities and show which friends have trained together. Something has also changed with the maps: most activities include a map section determined by GPS, which shows the route and thus provides further context to friends' activities in the feed. Last but not least, it now only takes one step to share personal activities with other social networks including Facebook, Path and Twitter.
On iOS and Android
The Strava app, version 4.0, is available in the App Store and on Google Play. The Strava mobile app is free and comes with the option of a premium membership, which provides additional analytics and motivational tools such as instant results, as well as exclusive rewards and benefits for members.
