Like most break-ups and misunderstandings, it’s probably both sides’ fault.

I actually wrote them an email letting them know about my issues and put it up as suggestions and I got a positive reply that they are either working on it already, planning to add it, or considering adding the feature. I once did this ~900km ride with my brother and we had more than 10 pictures and the two-minute video length didn’t do it justice either so I had to manually edit the pictures into the video. Also, you can only add 10 photos to videos, which for long rides (250+km), is not enough. There are other things like all videos were locked at a certain length (two minutes if I remember correctly). I’m more of a computer person than a cellphone person so I find it annoying to have to use my phone to edit the videos and then watch it on my computer. For example, you can’t really manage your rides and videos outside of the mobile app. Pictures can also be added and they will pop up as the video plays the part where those pictures were taken.īut I found that the features of the Relive app was limited. The video contains stats and an elevation graph that is synced with the 3D map animation. Relive is a service that partners with activity trackers (like Strava) and creates an awesome 3D video of the activities you publish (see video below). I’ll assume that Strava is a bigger and more popular service, so let me explain what Relive is.Īs a mountain biker doing long range cross-country rides, having Relive make videos for those rides was epic.

And Strava now noticed features that they don’t like with their API partners but were already in Relive long before the new ones that caused this rift. In an attempt to still push new features while having Strava on board, Relive tried to work it out, but Strava was having none of it.

While the Relive email contained a link to a blog post explaining that new social features caused Strava to freak out and in response, Relive rolled back to a version without those new features. The Strava email suggested that “The current version of Relive violates several of the terms that we ask of API partners”. Both saying they aren’t friends anymore and it’s the other guy’s fault. Yesterday I got an email from Strava and Relive.
