I’m curious which brands you are referring to? And do they really have a significant enough user base to warrant direct integration with Intervals? I think all the big brands except Apple are covered: Garmin, Coros, Wahoo Suunto, AmazFit, Google Health, Huawei health? ---

I’m also very curious about the statistics as well. Sure they still small share, but the point is that they are growing globally. Magene, Bryton, and iGPSPORT are the ones that come to mind. These are up-and-coming Chinese brands that have already started investing in pro cycling teams and have vastly improved their products, going from crap & cheap devices to serious competitors to most Western brands in just a few years. ---

those China head units do not make a blip on Garmin’s Radar for things to worry about. ---

Im starting to think we need to build an open source version of Strava or a community on intervals, I built my own app that works great gets my data from Garmin, strava and mywoosh, rebuilt a few items that I liked. I even built an API into Claude.AI that reads my stats from the day/week before and makes suggestions. (Total cost $1 per year for the integration into Claude) ![image](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/5/9/593afaf6b8643f51a545dbd1b444650819f723f1.jpeg) ![image](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/a/1/a19e911f847bc2da8ca4033137de9a62851ee231.jpeg) ---

You’d get my $1 and if the API is any decent even a out-of-the-box integration with OpenRowingMonitor. Spoken to several small suppliers of data last days, none are happy with this change. ---

So, does the new Strava Terms for its API access means intervals.icu will not be able to import new activities from strava by clicking on “Link for new Activities” for anyone who won’t pay the Strava subscription ? Also, what will happen to all activities previously imported from Strava into Intervals.icu ? ---

I’ve just become aware of the Strava API update coming at the end of the month. I vaguely understand some of the implications for developers and 3rd party apps, but I was specifically wondering how this might affect the Strava\<–\>intervals integration for your average Joe. Will I still be able to import my activities to intervals without a Strava subscription? With one? What sort of things that I may not be considering might be impacted? What sort of alternatives to these things should I be considering swapping over to, if any? If anyone knows or has any thoughts I’m keen to learn more. ---

@DCWelch and @JohnPar : there will be no impact for you as a user. Strava only makes developers pay. This would mean David will need to either have a Strava premium subscription, or that intervals.icu needs to get into the ‘preferred partners’ bracket (which it probably will). ---

My app/script stopped working as well. I was only pulling my own activities for review of location to help document volunteer efforts. Maybe its time to go to another app/platform. ---

I would recommend [‎Intervals.icu Companion App - App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/intervals-icu-companion/id6739638454), The developer is active on here, and they just released a brand new version yesterday.
