Question 1

Do I need a Strava account or another tracker?

Accepted Answer

One connection does it: link Strava (the free tier is fine) and your rides, runs and walks flow in automatically. On the iPhone app you can connect Apple Health instead, no Strava account needed.

Question 2

What's the difference between a Conquest and a Casual rally?

Accepted Answer

A Casual rally is for play and friendly competition: run as many as you like, and everyone ranks on the leaderboard. A Conquest is the achievement: finish the route and it stamps your passport for life, with your finish time and a place on the route's Conquest board. A Conquest counts any mix of activity types, such as walking and hiking. Each walk counts towards one Conquest: the one you started first, unless you move it or another one finishes over those days. Free covers the Starter routes; Standard and Pro open every route.

Question 3

Does it work with Garmin or Apple Watch?

Accepted Answer

Not directly, but your activities still count: Garmin, Wahoo and Fitbit devices upload to Strava, and Route Rally reads them from there automatically. Apple Watch workouts can come in through Apple Health on the iPhone app instead. You keep recording with whatever you already use.

Question 4

What happens when my Pro trial ends?

Accepted Answer

The 14-day Pro trial on the web app doesn't ask for a card, so nothing can be charged when it ends: you just drop back to Free. Nothing you've earned is deleted: your stamps stay in your passport, and your Awards, Records and Streaks are there again whenever you subscribe. In the iPhone and Android apps, Pro is handled through the App Store and Google Play instead.
