I've tried Strava on a few android devices. Including an S6edge and an LG G4. It crashes a lot. It seems to be very memory hungry.
Would it be more reliable on an iPhone? My main phone is a Windows Phone and I'm coming round to the though that I'm going to have to give up on the platform, much as I love it. So I now need to decide between Google and Apple.
PURELY on the basis of Strava which is more solid? I don't want to start a phone war here and as I've built phones and spent most of my life reviewing them I think that I can make my own mind up on the other stuff.
I'm using it on an iPhone and it's been fine the handful of times I've used it. Would it be more reliable on an iPhone?

It's a work phone and is a couple of years old - I think it's maybe a 5C.
It behaved fine for the rest of the trip.
Chiltern Railways did me the honour of only going as far as West Ruislisp this morning instead of Marylebone.
As I had my Brompton, I figured I may as well cycle the rest of the way in. 17.4 miles in total (I forgot to switch it on at the start).
I was susrprised at how much traffic there was, and how much difference it made to my average speed. I normally average about 15.5-16.5 on my normal commute, but this time it was under 13mph. (Mind you, it was still quicker than the cars and busses.)

I seem to have busted the struggle to get fit enough to cycle to work everyday. Its getting easier every week.
Same here! Im really enjoying it! I get to see the sun rise over the heath and got a couple of hours of exercise a day - plus I save my train fare.I bought bib tights the other day and think I've finally worked out the correct temperature/clothing strategy - tights, merino wool long sleeved base layer and a running jacket. Then when it's warmed up in the evening, just put the jacket in my bag. My legs get warm, but having crap knees, I'm ok with that - I can regulate my temperature with my top half.
I will not be commuting for a good few weeks now after a fairly spectacular collarbone breaking crash on the velodrome last Sunday night.

Sadly, no video of the crash. See you all back on this thread in 6-8 weeks.
