Worse every time

Its getting worse and worse. First no feedback and after this update it crashes all the times...I definitely expect more from Nike

Disappointing!!

After having used the previous version (Nike+) since 2011, this new NRC is a letdown: *Exaggerated British accent on the feedback; *Feedback is long and drawn out; *Overview and details of workouts are not presented as nicely and clearly as before. *No more attaboys

Still a ruined app

Ive been using the Nike run app for five years. The latest series of updates have completely destroyed the uses I had of it. 1. it takes forever to load, not so good for a runner. 2. the coaching app, doesnt sync well, it doesnt link well, it doesnt load well, sometimes it even forgets Im on a training plan. 3. when I go to the desktop version all of the activity of my runs are not linked. 4. I cant find my shoes anymore I try to keep track of my shoes and I dont know where all my old shoes are not working well. 5. they took this awesome app tried to change it up and ruined it.

Running

I love the app. It tracks distance excellently, times perfectly, but the pacing part of it can be a little off sometimes

Not a big fan!

I have been running with this app for 6 years now.. not a big fan of this version.

Great App

This app is easy to use and I love it.

Bug

I was in a meeting and my Apple Watch shouted "Workout complete." I was not in a workout. Not cool.

Awful Updates

Why does Nike "update" the app and constantly remove features. Gone again is the pause run with music controls. Stop taking away features. If people dont want them they can turn them off.

Being Patient

Ive used and loved the Nike running apps since version one. I love the ecosystem and have been happy overall. I like the new coaching plans, but its so disappointing when it works perfectly for one run, and then forgets another. I hope the Nike team will continue to fix bugs without creating new ones!

Please keep improving

Elevation doesnt work using Apple Watch and neither do splits. I have used this app for several years and I have been sticking with it even with a rough few months of changes. I miss my trophies. I would like to use Siri on my watch to start, stop and pause. I have the Apple Watch 2 series and this is only a feature with the Nike version of the Watch. I didnt know that when I purchased my Watch. So please make it available for both versions!!! Things I do love about the app is the easy to read format, the ability to scroll through my course and see my paces at various points along the course. I never used the coach but I would like to be able to create my own training plan and be able to edit it my way without any predesigned program if I wish to do so. Thanks and please keep improving I want to love the app again.

Outdoor not indoor

App works great outside, now do good on indoor tracks and treadmills. I love the little motivational messages at the end of the run. Its probably my favorite part.

Overall Not Bad

Does the job but at times can be glitchy. Ive had to reinstall the app a few times after crashing. It would be cool if you could shuffle songs, not just albums from your iTunes library. Maybe you can but I missed it.

Why a club?

Why take a useful app and make it a "club"? I dont want to join up and sign in. I dont want total social media immersion. Its not important that anyone know where or how much I run. I want an app that tracks my running; this is not that.

Cool App

I have liked this app since before the upgrade. Although, I miss a few of the older features, the app itself is a great tool for measuring progress and challenging oneself.

My favorite running app

Great updates and I like seeing all the details after my run. I use a few different running and health apps but use Nike as my main one. I like their style and the motivation they give. With the new Apple Watch, its even easier to get out and run.

Pausing

The app doesnt pause correctly It tries to open on my phone hours later even after Ive quit the app. I wouldnt recommend this app. Its had flaws since I first dowloaded it in 2013 and they have evolved to be more frequent and limiting. Today my phone out of nowhere told me "beginning workout" and during my workout when I thought I was recording it just decided to stop. Im fine if this is one time event, but these both are repeated instances over several months and times of deleting and downloading this application.. definitely not worth the time or effort

Nice improvements

Love the Apple Watch integration

Disappointed syncing with Bike watch

Disappointed so far with this app syncing data from the new Nike Apple Watch, most of my runs do not show the gps mapping data for where I ran after syncing to the NRC app. Ive rebooted my phone and the watch and the issue still continues.

Spotify Intergration

The placement of the music controls are not ideal for someone that is actually running. There is zero room for error when hitting the song advance button, 80% of the time it takes me to the Spotify main screen or reads me back my current pace. I preferred when the controls were to the right or left of the start/stop buttons, not hidden at the bottom of the screen.

Incremental fixes improving new app!

Constant improvements show the team is listening to feedback. Coach feature still needs work though
