Strava used to be my favorite running app, but now I can’t stand it

The author canceled their Strava subscription due to dissatisfaction with the platform's shift towards a premium model that restricts access to personal data and features. Upon canceling, they lost access to their workout history, personal bests, and the Year in Sport recap, which are now only available to paying users. The mapping features, including the Night Heatmap and custom route creation, are also limited for non-subscribers, raising concerns about safety. The author has shifted their focus from performance metrics to social interactions on the platform, finding enjoyment in connecting with friends rather than tracking training goals.

Recap: Expressive Android, but Material ‘3.5’ apps

Both Apple and Google plan significant redesigns of their operating systems for 2025. Google's Material 3 Expressive has received positive feedback for its implementation across devices, aiming for a more unified interface across Android versions, though updates to first-party applications are seen as incremental rather than transformative. The redesign includes a taller search app bar in Google Workspace apps, but inconsistencies arise as some applications cannot utilize the new design. A transition back to a shorter bottom navigation bar in some apps does not improve content space. A floating toolbar in Google Chat raises usability concerns, and the overall interface appears more cluttered due to increased use of containers. Buttons have become larger, with mixed reactions regarding their proportions. The new motion-physics system introduces appealing animations, but the functionality of Google apps remains largely unchanged, leading to a sense of familiarity rather than a transformative experience.
