PLEASE, PLEASE provide an “undo kudos” facility. It seems to be a rather simple thing to provide, and I cannot understand why it has not implemented. I Gave kudos to what I thought was a normal bike ride, which turned out to be on a e-bike.
5 years people have been asking about this really simple change that's evidently important to some. This attitude is why I don't bother subscribing to Strava
Was reading a comment where someone called my friend a bitch and I accidentally tapped Kudos on his activity. Should be obvious why I'd want to "undo" the kudos, he's a sexist jerk.
Dato che è molto facile che accada di mettere un kudos senza volerlo, mi auguro vivamente che possiate abilitare il prima possibile questa funzione, a me è successo di guardare il profilo di una persona che non stimo assolutamente e che mentre nella vita è una pessima persona nello sport va "forte" e quindi il fatto di non poter più togliere il kudos
mi ha causato molto dispiacere. Grazie per la disponibilità.
Thanks Chris... It is beyond my comprehension that this is so complicated it can't be implemented. There are about 200 comments on this thread since it was created in February 2014 so some interest in this feature exists. Is there some database issue they don't want to fix to allow decrementing a count? They already track who liked which activity. How hard can it possibly be to remove an entry in a database and recalculate the kudos total?
Yea it's pretty obvious that Strava doesn't give a crap about the opinion of their customers. Stop paying for features (golden cheetah has them beat in the metrics arena anyway) and downvote the app. That's all you can do.
As Strava is completely ignoring this request literally since years, without even commenting in a way that would make it at least a try to explain, my take here is the following:
Someone inside Strava marketing / product management had the stupid idea to take the accumulated figure of Kudos added in Strava as a kind of KPI for the platform's success. So allowing Kudos to be removed would hurt their defined "success" KPI, that unfortunately collides with a minor customer satisfaction issue. But sales/success KPI overrules customer satisfaction. Stupid, but perhaps not fully fictional explanation ... ...
This makes no sense. The percentage of people who would actually un-kudo has to be tiny. I've only had it happen once or twice that I can remember. Unfortunately the first time I wanted to do this was also when I got stuck on this thread. I agree with Strava that most of the time it is a pretty small thing and doesn't really matter but every now and then there are real reasons for wanting to un-do. I guess the only real option at this point is to delete the account which gave the kudo and create a new one. This is a pretty stupid workaround and I'm not even sure if that is enough.
It would be so nice to just have this trivial feature added so we can move on. Pretty much every other social network accepts that it is okay to have people remove likes. Please Strava add this basic feature.
Here’s the thing:
1) This is a basic feature of every other social network out there.
2) Users expect to have it.
3) Users feel crummy when they can’t undo an unintentional Like.
4) Most importantly, as a software architect of 9 years, I just can’t see how this isn’t trivial to implement.
Just like the whole “1 or 2 decimals” debacle, this is another case of Strava being inexplicably cautious in implementing a feature that people universally want, the lack of which makes people feel bad, and which would only take a few minutes to fix. The decision-making at this company just defies all logic.
I raise again this point, just gave an "unvoluntary" kudos on an activity that I've opened from a segment view, in the desktop website. This could actually be embarassing... And I don't see how this feature can be complex to implement, compared to other very nice features Strava offers. So must be a design choice... but why?
I would suggest that when we click on "our thumbs up" and we open the popup/page that lists all other's kudos, we get a button to undo our choice.
Guys I accidentally gave kudos to a random athlete when trying to see how fast some race was from almost a year ago oh god i’m a stalker i really need to undo

Yes, please, another request for unkudosing!
Obviously Strava developers never read this.. we need a remove kudos function to remove accidental clicks on give kudos

I waved at someone when I was running, then I realised it was not who I thought it was. What should I do?!! 😱
@Nick Grahame, the difference is your waving wont be available to anyone on the internet to see.
And the accidental Kudos is about as transient as the accidental wave. No one cares who gives kudos to who.

Wow Strava, that pretty LAMED! For all the technologies, someone can't take the time to address something so simple. Disappointed!!!

So... WHEN?!

Wasting your breath. So long as you keep paying Strava, they dgaf. They do what they want and the customer can f.o
Plenty of people want it so why not put it back?
I have given a kudos to someone who is cheating and misusing the strava app. need to remove it please. this is a priority
do advise

e sono
Stupid. If you give Kudos by accident, why can't you just select it again to remove? Every other social network has this option.
No way to fix it??!!
Hey Strava, we are not stupid..
please fix this issue!! (Angry)
its shame it cant be undone. I give kudos by accident to someone and i feel like stalker now.
I wil never give f.. kudos to anyone anymore.
Please consider a Strava user to have the choice to un - "kudo".
Hello STRAVA!! From earth to moon, where are you?? Are you listening to your community??!!!
