Hot on the heels of yesterday's Apple Watch news, Strava has announced a redesigned mobile app. The new Strava app has been optimised specifically for Apple's latest device, which goes on sale in the UK on 24 April and will pair with your iPhone to make apps, phone functions and data available on your wrist.
The redesigned Strava app features an "intuitive, sport-specific design" that will "seamlessly integrate with Apple Watch's distinctive technology, delivering effortless connectivity and a more personal, engaging, and real-time training experience for cyclists and runners."
Features of the reworked Strava app include:
• Intuitive on-wrist display: Track your performance on Apple Watch in real time while keeping your phone safely tucked away
• Real-time segments: Receive alerts as you approach a starred segment, check elapsed time in the moment, then get instant results at the finish
• Weekly training progress at a glance: Utilising Apple Watch's innovative Glances feature, Strava's personalised training dashboard summarises weekly training volume and progress toward goals
• Immediate hands-free results: Completed activities automatically sync with Strava and results are instantly summarised on the Apple Watch display
• Fast transitions between ride and run modes: Multi-sport athletes can easily toggle between modes by using Apple Watch's Force Touch sensing capabilities.
"Apple has shaped the space it operates in by pushing the boundaries of technology and design. Strava has been on a similar journey, connecting a global community of athletes through its innovative products and experience," said Erik Joule, Strava's chief marketing and commerce officer.
"The redesigned app will extend the breadth of Strava's product portfolio from web (strava.com) and mobile (iOS and Android apps) to the most anticipated wearable device of our time, Apple Watch."
Pre-orders for Apple Watch open on 10 April. Three models will be available, with the cheapest starting at £299.
