"If strava sync has stopped working, delete and re-permission strava in a browser. Best app out there by a mile if you`re using Android wear"

"Works great for what it is. Does not have the features of most running programs. But does a great job of reliably tracking a run. I then export it to my running app"

"Looks like a good alternative to Outdoor Active now it`s been ruined by Outdoor Active. GR basically let`s me place a gpx on a map and follow it using phone and wear OS. The only issues I have found is when importing gpx and creating a `ghost` i loses the file name and i can`t change it, so I`ll probably end up with loads of unlabelled routes on my map. Also, it wont recognise files download directly from onedrive, although it does loaf the same file saved from the phone."

"This app makes an awesome cycle computer. I use it on an old phone with no SIM card which is mounted in a Topeak phone case on my handlebars. It`s paired with Bluetooth HRM and cadence sensors to show me how I`m doing and upload to Strava. To me it`s both better and cheaper than a Garmin."

"Love the app for Android wear, you can use it without carrying your phone during the activity. The displays are customizable for what you want care about most. Uploads to smashrun. I wish it had more charting or graphing in the app though. I like it better than the other better known apps."

"Good app, but having recently reinstalled it it`s throwing up an error when I try to link my Strava account using my Google log in - ``disallowed user agent``. This essentially makes the app useless unfortunately."

"I used this app for a couple of years and liked it so much I paid for it, but I now find I cannot add ghosts from Strava any more. Earlier in 2019, I found that it would not connect to my starred segments, and now I find it will not even connect to segment ids. I just get the revolving green arrow. This is on a Huawei P10 Lite that worked fine until mid 2019. Without new ghosts, the software is pretty much useless. The vert data off it is more accurate than the Strava app, that`s about all. If the ability to add ghosts is restored, this is a five star app. Its Strava Live Segments for free, albeit against yourself."

"Dear Author/Developer. I use the app (sony smartwatch 3, sometimes with or without a phone) with my cardiac belt and a cadence/speed sensors. Everything works fine (as you know). At the end of my (bike) ride I notice that the app does not save the data in a file. Shouldn`t it do that? Please clarify. Thanks."

"Ghost racer hands down is the best option for Strava users who want a little customization and better pace and distance tracking than the likes of the Strava or Polar apps. Feature request: My only gripe is that it can`t control phone audio while using watch HR and GPS. Perhaps it needs an additional ``use watch HR`` option for paired mode?"

"When I customise the screen for the smart watch 3, is just displays a blank screen on the watch. The happens regardless of what changes are made to the screen. I have to apply the default screen and save before the watch will work again. This used to work perfectly, but now I have to stick with the default screen and not add the fields I actually want to see. Edit: all sorted, turns out the watch takes several days to update!"
