I think you are overestimating Strava's sophistication.

Something to do with Strava failing to average the data points, or something.
Ah, I get you now. You're specifically saying Strava isn't as good as other products, not saying ALL products aren't good

I only used Strava a couple of times (Before settling on Runkeeper), so I guess I assumed too much. I figured since Strava was as highly rated as Runkeeper, they'd be on par.

PS To really get your power meter using friends, ask them when the last time their torque transducer was calibrated lol
