Ride app won't upload to Strava ?

[Stretch40]

Hi all as it says firstly it only measured part of my ride and now it won't upload to Strava any ideas ?

Why not just use the Strava app directly?

Hi tbh that's what I always did but liked the idea of average power max power and cadence shown but as usual the giant app is utter shit I did a ride on sun my mate used Strava it said we ride 15miles with slot of elevation but my app said I'd done 9miles I know Strava was right as it's a regular route it's just crap

I agree.
I simply can’t find a simple explanation about the differences between using the manufacturer’s app to upload to Strava or Strava directly.
I’m no fool, I can guess at some obvious potential benefits.
But which ones have been realised by which manufactures ?
And then there’s the specialist apps, like ST Ride. That works for me and it’s definitely sending cadence to Strava. But what else, power? It’s a new app and I’m immensely grateful to the designer, but there’s very little help so far (understandably).
So, yes, anybody with some links to actual How-To’s please post.
I’d get off my ass and do it myself if I knew how — but it baffles me...

I'm hitting the same problem: first ride uploaded fine, second ride won't.

Potential reasons for using RideControl to record: power and cadence. Which I can't actually find in Strava from my first ride which uploaded successfully..
