Strava has crashed on my last two rides losing all my data for the ride.

What other iphone apps do people use? Measuring my progress keeps me motivated.

    I use MapMyRide on an iPhone 5, not had any problems with it.

    Cyclemeter is good for me. Doesn't crash on ios 6.

    Use a generic GPS tracking app and then export the GPX file and upload it to Strava. Uses less battery and mine doesn't even require a data connection.

    I use Endomondo and never had a problem with it.

    I have just had a reply from Strava,

    Sorry for the trouble. Please log off, quit the app, reboot your phone and then start everything back up again. Of course let me know if you continue to have problems. I apologize again as I know this is frustrating.

    Cheers,

    I will give it a go, although Cyclemeter looks good if problems persist.
    Thanks for your input.

    Definitely the new version, re-installed version 2.2.4 and no more crashes

    If I delete and reinstall the app, I would lose my data would I not?

    i wouldnt have thought so as it all uploads to their site....the app is just a way of recording the info, then it uploads that info from you device. As mentioned you can get much better thorough apps elsewhere then upload the info to strava. I use Endomondo....my wife prefers this too as she can track me live. Much more features.

    No - I recently did this as it wouldn't start after IOS 6 loading. Back to normal now.

    you wont lose your data, its all kept on strava's own servers

    +1 for Endomondo. Excellent site.
