Fixing the log-out and sync issues
UPDATE 3: with version 7.42+, sync issues appear to have been fixed. Sometime a few versions earlier, things really started to shape up. Super happy with the improvements!
UPDATE 2: every update breaks the sync with the watch. Run data is lost. The time to fix is 20-30 minutes of logging out, refreshing, etc. After 14 years I might have to go exclusively to Strava. UPDATE: with phone on iOS 17.1+ and watch on watchOS 10.1+, as well as NRC 7.30.0, sync issues appear to be fixed. That brings me from 2 to 4 stars. I use this app every day, so I will update accordingly as I confirm over time if syncing, as well as the issue of constantly logging out, are fixed. Experimentally for me, it seems that being a major version behind on iPhone and Watch were adding to the problems. ORIGINAL: I’ve been using the Nike Run Club app for over a decade. Been using it for three years with an Apple Watch. Version 7.30.0 as of Nov 2023 claims to fix issues with activity syncing and getting logged out of the app constantly, but these problems seem to get more and more frequent. Several months ago, I had an issue once in a blue moon. Recently, it’s been every day. Losing workouts, nothing syncing between watch and phone, constantly having to log back into the app. What a bummer.

Frustrating
It’s frustrating to use. When running or walking, it pauses. It’s suppose to pause when you stop or put it down (unless you press/hold the Stop button down to end the run).
Countless times I’ve gone to press resume (after stopping to take a call,etc) only to find the timer is still going.
When I was driving, the timer started and when I arrived at my destination, I’d been on a run/walk for three hours with zero kms achieved.
This app is terrible.

Big fan of Coach Bennett
Long term user of the app, unlikely to ever switch because it’s got all my run history, PBs etc. Over the years the app has occasionally been buggy but (touch wood - I’ve got a race coming up, so don’t crash on me now!) it’s recently been okay.
Over the years I’ve had periods of not using the guided run feature and then periods of pretty much exclusively using the guided run feature, particularly if I’m following say the 10k plan or the Half Marathon plan, and I just wanted to say how brilliant Coach Bennett is, not just on running technique and form but on the mental side of running too, and as he sometimes says “This is about the run … and not just about the run”, with positive mental health messages that you can take into the rest of your life too. My life has been pretty stressful recently and having Coach Bennett’s guidance in my ear (and dictionary definitions) has really made a difference for me, so thank you.

Great app, but a variety of bugs
A few pros: I really like the simplicity of this app and the watch complications, showing the distance you’ve run so far for the month, also available as a widget on the iPhone. I also like how you can add friends to compete with them, join challenges or set your own.
A few cons: previously you could share running stats and a photo / picture on your profile for others to see, with the option of tagging - this has recently disappeared. Windd CD e the last update it seems to be a lot better, but there’s be several releases where you need to keep logging back in to the app, this is a major issue if you run without your phone, as the distance usually does not get logged - because you also needed to re sync your watch. The latest bug I currently have is that the monthly / weekly miles shown in the challenges I join do not match the monthly / weekly miles shown in the activity section. This happened last month as well. Hope this get sorted as it’s adding more miles than I have done. Really annoying.

Question
I love this app and use it religiously—though I have a question for anybody who might know the answer:
Is there a way to download guided runs to Apple Watch without the download being interrupted? It seems that I have to wait until it goes out of the download screen, tap it to go back in, resume download; multiple times for every download. It’s a little annoying and I’d love to know if there’s something I’m doing wrong or if there’s some room for improvement somewhere so that the app doesn’t go back to the list automatically after 3-5 seconds until it’s eventually complete. Any help would be appreciated.
Otherwise, the app is perfect and I love it!

3 years straight!
I found the NRC app 3 years ago and I love it. It tracks everything I want to measure in a run, shows me year on year progress down to months and weeks. I’m fitted than I ever and I love that feeling of reviewing my stats and being proud that I’m regularly getting out there. It’s so easy to use. Highly recommended.

No longer usable
Have used NRC for more than 10 years and it has lost so much functionality that it is no longer usable. I bought an Apple Watch when they were first advertised as a Nike collaboration but there are so many bugs it drives me insane. Completed runs disappear or don’t link to training plans, sound cuts in and out, I’ve even had runs where the voice over has kept going when I’ve paused it so the rest of the run is completely out of sync. I love the guided runs and trainers but there are just too many bugs to make it worth it.
