A monthly calendar with either the ride distance or just a little orange dot on days of rides so you can scroll through to a certain date. For example I want to go back to Christmas day to look at my 75 mile ride, right now I have to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll, then realize you can't scroll back that far.

I follow about 5-8 cyclists. But the one that I MOST want to follow never uploads her data the same day as she rides.
Consequently, I never see her rides, because they don't appear on page one of my dashboard.

They dumb it down. I've found that they are doing some type of "smoothing" as they call it on the more accurate GPS devices, which sample more often than the less accurate ones like smartphones. They are trying to make it fair for all the smartphone users or something like that. If I program in a segment on my Garmin it will be 1-2 seconds slower on Strava.

My Garmin Edge 510 automatically uploads to Garmin Connect through the blue tooth on my phone. Then Garmin Connect feeds into Strava. I have never noticed much of a difference between GC and Strava. Then again, I never pay attention to Gamin Connect as nobody I know uses it.

Is the GPS smart phone more accurate or Strava? Anyone know?

Although I use a smartphone app, I've found my times and speeds are huge differences. On my smartphone I'll average 28.5 and strava will display as 27.9 then other times my average around the city was 26.5 and Strava displayed it as 23, that's a BIG difference.

If you were comparing your Garmin to the smartphone app, I'd say the Garmin was more accurate. I can't imagine why the Strava app would report a different value initially and then change it later.

I just recently had to block someone from seeing by Strava. It's pretty easy, but it blocks them from seeing anything, so that may not be what you're looking for.
I'd like them to add the ability to move equipment - think replacing a front tire, and putting the old front on the back.

Now that I've switched to a Garmin (310xt) I'm finding that I'm consistently getting credit for about 10% less elevation on the same ride as guys on their smartphone apps. Very annoying.

You can always hit the website from your phone/tablet for functionality missing from the app. Though I do agree they should get more functionality into the app.

I'd like a way to filter segments as road vs. off-road.
Also, a way to put the people I follow into different groups.

Any activity other than cycling or running gets very little support. I would like to see better support for hiking stats.

Have you tried the Flybys in Strava Labs? Very cool. It is mostly for entertainment, but I hope they make it a regular feature.

I would like audible timing intervals, every 10 km or every 30 minutes to let me know how I am doing

I wish it was easier to pull out my monthly totals for riding and "running"....it just lumps the two together, it made me STOP entering anything pedestrian Into Strava, I log in cyclemeter, then shove data into Strava, it is EASY to get a monthly or weekly total mi from Cyclemeter. I had decided jan 1 to just log everything into Strava but I got a RFLCT+ and cyclemeter works a lot better with it than Strava, Strava will "work" but it is easier (you can create your own data screens) and more supported with cyclemeter.

Are you talking about using the Strava smartphone app or some other app that then gets imported into Strava?
If you were comparing your Garmin to the smartphone app, I'd say the Garmin was more accurate. I can't imagine why the Strava app would report a different value initially and then change it later.

In creating one's own routes, I kinda wish you toggle on/off the "Use Popularity" for any waypoint segment(s) you want, ie. so you can create a custom route made up of popular routes for segments plus segments that are manually selected. I think the way it works changes all waypoints as soon as you turn it on.

Somewhat accurate elevation would be nice, though not strictly a fault with just Strava. Nothing like a group ride with elevation stats varying by 200m on relatively flat roads...

I just realized that some of Strava's issues is how people get their data into Strava. Some of use a GPS/Cycle Computer that feeds into Strava or some other website, and then into Strava. Some of us use Smart phones and either use the Strava app or another app that feeds into Strava. This must be a challenge to the developers at Strava.
Thinking about this, I think they are doing a fairly decent job.
