Leave a Review Nike Run Club
Only One Major Complaint
I love Nike Run Club! It gives really cool insights of my pace throughout the run! The ONLY thing I really dislike about it is that it doesn’t tell you the distance you’ve gone while your running. You have to pause it in order to figure that out. When I go on runs I want to go a specific distance, but when I can’t see how far I’ve gone while I’m running. I find it really frustrating. I’ve stopped using the app only because it doesn’t tell me how far I run while I’m running. Especially when I’m going on specific runs, such as 2 mile tempo runs, mile, and longer runs like 5-6 miles. I need to know how far I’m going without having to stop my watch. If there is anyway to have more customizable options or if you could just put the distance instead of heart rate or calories that would be really helpful. It’s nice to know that information too, but info like calories and heart rate really are not vital when I’m going on a run. Please consider changing this, because I love all the insights NRC offers, but I can’t use the app if it won’t show me how far I’m running without pausing it. I would give five stars for the app function itself, I just need the distance to show while I’m running. Thank you so much! I hope you can consider this!Show lessWhitney Lar
5 star app until the recent updates and changes
Since the app has updated to version 7.0.0 I have had so many issues with my runs not syncing to my plan. You used to be able to amend your run to attach to your plan within the week but now you can’t and it will only allow you to link to plan when you first rate your run. That’s fine a habit to get used to however, even when you do this it still doesn’t link up and shows you not completing a run! Most irritating when it is a benchmark or speed run with laps. Clear issue with app when you have to start those runs through the plan.
I have noticed the app records me running shorter distances than it used to, I didn’t pay too much attention to this and ran further to hit my goal but I’ve noticed many others are having the same issue. I use another running app at the same time to start at the same second and I’ve noticed about 0.4km difference between the runs over a 5km run
Please fix these changes, I loved the app before and it has helped me massively to achieve my goals. I just want my plan to accurately reflect my runs and activity, and I would like the distance to be accurate.Show lessGARMJ91
Makes running fun!
This is the first review I’ve written about an app but I think it deserves to be acknowledged and I hope others will enjoy it as much as I have. I’ve never been a fan of running, I’d occasionally go for the odd run here and there but would never really track it or be excited by running. This app has made running so much more enjoyable! I love the ‘coach’ feature. Coach Bennet will get you really invested in ticking off each of the runs/workouts you get set each week. The runs will be set to the level you are currently at and will go off how many times you want to exercise each week (you fill out a short questionnaire when you first log in to the app). Each week the runs you are set get slightly longer building you up to the different goals you set. There are always a variety of runs, from speed training, long distance, endurance running and they also throw in the occasional workout from the Nike Training Club app throughout the week to mix things up. I’ve recommended this app to lots of friends and family. Whether you’ve been running your whole life, you’ve just started or are looking for an app to help encourage and track your progress, I think this is a must-have. It’s free too. I hope you enjoy the app as much as I have so far! Happy running :DShow lessLoser-Kid
Great app, but lots of glitches
I would gladly give this app 5 stars, if it weren’t for the numerous glitches and anomalies that it has. Overall I have always been happy with this app. I love the features, the guided runs, the integration with Apple Watch, the coach, etc. However, I feel like I am constantly dealing with synching issues in one way or another. For example, I am using the coach to train for a marathon. I always start the runs directly from the coach screen, and complete them, and mark them for the appropriate workout in the coach schedule. But once in a while after doing that, the next time I open the app it will show that workout as incomplete. There is no good way to fix this - and it most recently happened on a benchmark run that is supposed to be used by the app to set your schedule going forward. I contacted tech support - which is another great thing about Nike - I’ve always been able to get ahold of a person for support. But she pretty much told me this was a glitch and she couldn’t fix it, and had no guarantee if it would get fixed by someone in a different department. I also had an issue with runs not synching from my watch. Had to uninstall and reinstall the app on my phone. This type of thing happens a lot and can be frustrating when using these features. Other than that, great app.Show lessShawnC22002
I’ve never left a review before but this app changed my life
I’ve never been a runner. Was feeling out of shape and sluggish and stir crazy at the start of quarantine in March, decided to download Nike Running and try getting into running. I am naturally thin and athletic, but at this point in time I was really out of shape and would get extremely winded, to the point of hyperventilating / chest pain after running for just 1 minute straight. I started out with the guided runs, starting with the first interval run - 1min on, 1min off, 8x. I found coach Bennett’s audio recordings helpful, insightful, and just the right amount of distracting to keep me centered in the run, but not TOO aware of the effort I was having to put in. I love that you can play music in the background of the audio for the guided runs. At the beginning, I needed the guided audio to distract me from my effort level. Now it’s been almost 6 months, I no longer need the audio but I still use it about 3x a week. I’ve logged over 400 miles in the app over the past 6 months ! I ran 10 miles the other day, and I’ve now run 7 miles straight without stopping. I’ve never been in better shape. This app changed my life for the better :)Show lessBsbdhshshahahahsbs
Please bring back iOS system time and battery.
Still love using the app (for around a decade now) but a few things are starting to bug me. please stop asking me to review the app every so often when I have said no or dismissed the prompt. No, means no.
Also give me the option to turn off achievement notifications bubbles on the stats tab, I don’t care!
Lastly, bring back the system time and battery indications during a run.Show lessChrismeek
Genuinely a great app.
I didn’t ever run and this app has helped me go from getting out of breath walking up some steps to running a 5k run and not really feeling all that out of breathe(if at all if i’m honest) it has great coach guided runs and can connect to you music apps- you can cheer on and be cheered on after you run by your friends by adding them and it sends a loud noise to the recipients phone which is a nice touch. It also has things you just slowly find out the more you use the app so it’s really great for keeping running interesting. As i’m writing the more i remember about the great features of the app! It includes community challenges where you can join runners all around the world and get a ranked out of hundreds and thousands of runners. Well deserved 5 star rating, if you run regularly there’s no reason not to have this already and if you’re looking to get into running don’t look any further than this app. it’s literally all you need. Flawless app!!!!Show lessTRASH POOR AND UGLY
Please Fix Speed Runs for My Coach Runs
I enjoy the concept of a a guided workout plan that adjusts depending on your progress to help you reach your goals. One aspect of this app that I’m disappointed with is the general interface for tracking runs on your iPhone. For the speed runs, you have to manually keep track of your own intervals, something that could be automatically performed by the app. I also can’t find a way for the app to track your rest intervals so you can easily know when to start running again. Doing this manually distracts you from your run, and breaks the momentum of your workout.Show lessCdmacd
Switching apps
I have used this app for years and have finally reached the final straw. I’m disappointed because I like the guided runs and training plans the app offers but I can no longer overlook it’s other issues. I have an Apple Watch series 3 and it is nearly impossible to sync my runs between my watch and phone. Lately any run that I start from my watch is deleted which is especially annoying with speed runs in which it is much easier to start and stop intervals from my watch. I’ve lost my running streaks because of this inability to sync and any adaptability in my training plans. When runs are started from my phone my watch fails to sync and provide useful stats throughout or after the run. As I said previously, I love that the app offers free training programs for various goals. I used one of these to train for my first half marathon. However, I do have a few gripes. I understand that incorporating Nike Training Club workouts into plans gives both apps use, but it is difficult when you already have a plan on the NTC app. It would be nice to have the option to exclude these workouts from training plans or link your current NTC workouts. It would also be super useful to allow for the training plans to be customizable. Plenty of other apps already offer this feature. Until Nike can properly track and record my runs, I’m done.Show lessemily.t2
Not accurate
I really wanted to love this app but I want an accurate reading of my pace and distance. If it wasn’t so far off I wouldn’t care however I’ve tested 3 apps multiple times (the fit bit app, Nike run and runkeeper all going at the same time. None of them read the same reading however the Nike app was WAY off.)
I ran 4 times around a school track and the Nike app said it was .78 km while both the other apps were closer to 1.70km The Nike app also said my average pace was 17’99” while both the other apps said around 7’45”?
If all the apps were a little off but close I wouldn’t care but that’s a huge difference. Honestly I love the layout and rewards on this app though, Please update and fix this 😫.Show lessElm08 🇨🇦
