The App Store is full of various fitness apps that track your physical activity. Someone could argue that before, humanity got along without problems, but the truth is that applications of this type can be very useful, not only for recording and keeping an overview of the activity - they can also serve as motivation and a tool for monitoring your progress. The Strava application is intended for all those who, as part of their sports activities, go on various routes - whether by bike, cross-country skiing, skating or on foot.
Of course, Strava offers a number of classic functions that applications of this type simply cannot do without – tracking and analyzing the distance, track, speed, elevation and other parameters of your training, the possibility of creating your own maps and tracks, and constant monitoring of your performance. However, its social aspect is also significant and important. Strava offers connections with users from your contact list or from social networks, so it's easy to motivate and encourage each other.

It goes without saying that it can be connected to the Health app on your iPhone, as well as compatible with most popular pieces of wearable electronics from Garmin watches to Apple Watch. In addition to recording the route just completed, you can share any status, photo or manually added route with your social-sport bubble in the Strava application. Strava supports Shortcuts for Siri, so you can also start an activity with a voice command.
The basic version of the Strava app is free, but you can choose different packages of premium features for different monthly fees.
