Anyone know whats going on with Strava Premium?

It seems to have been renamed from "premium" to "summit", no big deal.

 

On the web portal, my account now shows me as a summit member - has my monthly billing details etc and all looks ok.

 

When I went into the app (not updated) it started saying I was no longer a premium member.  I updated the app and it now has the "summit" naming rather than premium - however the app is now hiding premium features from me and reporting I have a free account...

 

Plus it looks like the price is/has gone up from £5.99 to £6.99 a month.

 

I've not seen any communications on this at all - Is this just me being blind or is this a stealth change?

Confusing pricing - I can't work out which package I need to reproduce the capabilities I actually use in Premium. Don't really do Live Segments and don't need Beacon or mapping.

Exactly my thought. I don't use many of the premium features, but value the ones I do use, and as far as I can see, in order to keep the few that I make use of I am still going to have to pay maximum fee to keep them. 

But then I could be reading it wrongly as it isn't that clear.

Seems a bit of a hashed launch, making the changes to the website/app before launching the pages telling people what they are.

It's all about the Summit now, all explained in this article. Only launched about 45 mins ago

I think it's just been launched (very) badly.

 

The app says "free" member under my settings, web says "summit".

From this mornings ride I can see the relative effort numbers & power etc, but when I hit the "weekly effort" link it prompts to pay for summit membership.

 

No doubt it will get fixed - am I alone in not seeing anything about upcoming changes though? Especially if they are putting the price up...

Just checked mine there.

Showing as Summit also, but appears to have a little drop down for 'perks' and having a quick perusal, I don't see anything missing as right below that I see 'Summit features' and that appears to show all that I seem to remember from before. (Strava Version 57.0.0)
