Strava terms are very restrictive and they have recently demonstrated they will revoke API access to partners who have been around years and spent thousands of hours in developing and extending the Strava customer base, with little warning, explanation, or recourse, typically on the umbrella "non compete" clauses in the terms of service.

Yup. I simply can't agree with your subjective conclusions at all. ST3 has looked terribly slow, clunky and feature limited for 3+ years now compared to the SportTracks app. It explains the number of customers that migrated over.

Agreed. My and others preferred option would be for Strava to offer a data API with terms such as that SportTracks does - our API is essentially totally free and open to all as developers choose, as long as they receive user consent to data. I don't know why you got the impression I suggested Strava should remove their API.

This is my biggest complaint about .mobi, it takes way more clicks to simply edit activity type, location, and equipment used. If you think .mobi has more features than ST3, then you are not using it in the manner that your customers do.
I don't know whether to be impressed that you engage in these conversations or disappointed that you're so tone deaf to your own customers.
