    Like it.........only the dashboard page has changed. These things generally take a while to 'grow' on you.

    agreed its pants. mainly just the design, but the key stats still havent improved, it still doesnt have the common sense to show your best segments, nor the climb cats, nor the av speed, nor a dash of colour for a few things. bla bla bla

    It should also be able to show you which segments you are close to topping. Maybe another tab at the top where you have a list of segments where you are in the top 5, or maybe within a minute, or within a certain percentage.... I guess that's one to bring up with the brass in NH though.

    Initially didn't like the new dashboard but it's grown on me.

    Have you had a play around with this? http://www.jonathanokeeffe.com/strava/notifier.php?segmentId=866782

    It might provide some of the above for you ;)

    As well a a few KOMs, I've a few 2nds and 3rds which would be nice to see listed also.

    Took a few days but I've got to really like it! Particularly like the way it groups together a spin if you ride with people that you're "following"!
    I'm sure it will happen eventually but I'd be happy to pay more for a "Training Programme" which you could then follow on Strava .... not a huge step from where they are at now?

    Not a fan either might take a bit of getting used to!

    although its a bit of a pain, as you have to keep updating that site with your latest strava data.

    Needs a bit of fine tuning but overall the idea is fine. The name of the ride, which generally means nothing, should not have the largest font and take precedence over the riders name. Time of rides should be displayed particularly for stationary trainer rides. The text seems squeezed yet there is plenty of white space between each ride.

    yeah and thats why the koms, kudos need to be a tiny bit bigger or colourful.

    site suffers from the same thing as a lot of apps (and this was true before), you have to get almost 1/3 of the way down the window to visually get to anything useful. Why is Activity Feed in such a giant font ! All those boxes make the page just too 'noisy'. Less is more in in this particular case.
