Nike do something. ### 2/5 — A really great app, until the watch app stopped working *2026-08-24, version 7.79.2* I really liked this app because I could use the Watch app independently of my phone. However, with the latest update the watch app crashes immediately on launch on my SE 1st Gen Apple Watch. The phone app is working well, however. ### 2/5 — Endless Issues *2026-08-24, version 7.79.2* I’ve clocked over 13k km with this app but recently I’ve had endless issues. I’m on up to date hardware (Apple Watch 11 + iPhone 17 Pro) but regularly have the watch face go blank on me, record runs in the Apple Fitness app but not in NRC, and today wouldn’t let me stop a run but had the data so I could at least screenshot it before I killed the app on my watch. I’m up to date version wise. Please fix Nike. ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing since last update *2026-08-20, version 7.79.2* Keeps crashing since last update iOS 26.5.2 Otherwise great app ### 2/5 — No longer tracking my runs *2026-08-20, version 7.79.2* For some reason, the app stopped tracking the path of my runs recently. I double checked, and location services is turned on, with precise location turned on, but it’s still not tracking them. ### 2/5 — Inaccurate *2026-08-20, version 7.79.2* Extraordinarily inaccurate pace. When comparing the same run tracked with Strava, NRC has my mile pace at 16 minutes while Strava has it at 9. ### 1/5 — Apps keeps crashing on Apple Watch *2026-08-19, version 7.79.2* It doesn’t let me use it in my Apple Watch SE 1 ### 1/5 — Since doing Nike Run update on my iphone the app no longer works *2026-08-19, version 7.79.2* Devastated I can no longer get into app to access data for the runs I began ten years ago including my first marathon and half marathon ### 1/5 — Syncing with Apple Watch is Garbage *2026-08-19, version 7.79.2* Every time I run with the Apple Watch either the connection is lost or the tracking disappears. ### 1/5 — Needy *2026-08-18, version 7.79.2* Constantly asking for feedback. Also they took out cadence in the last update. It doesn’t work anymore. Very slow in updating badges. Some are never credited. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-18, version 7.79.2* This app no longer works on Apple Watch which to a large extent renders it useless. This appears to be a known issue that has not been fixed. ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2026-08-18, version 7.79.2* This is my favorite running app but it won’t open after the last update. ### 1/5 — Problems with Watch app *2026-08-18, version 7.79.2* Have been using NRC for past 6 years and generally have enjoyed it very much. For the past 3-4 weeks the Watch app has had two major bugs that a complete Watch reset and reinstall did not fix. (1) app (every run or so) freezes at pause with the water droplet logo over the resume button; after a while (if you exit to main Watch display and reenter the NRC app several times) it restarts and eventually returns to the same point in the run. (2) pause and resume often (around 50% of the time) leads to a black screen with only elapsed run time in dark grey in the upper right corner. Repeatedly pausing (by double tapping the screen) and resuming eventually gets me back to the correct display but it takes 1-5 tries. Again I have completely wiped my watch (S9, 26.6) and set up all over again with no luck. ### 1/5 — 애플워치se1 갑자기 안들어가짐 *2026-08-18, version 7.79.2* OS10.6.2면 호환되는버전인데 업데이트이후에 갑자기 안들어가지네요 빠른 업데이트 부탁드립니다 ### 1/5 — Broken what didn’t need fixed *2026-08-18, version 7.79.2* *UPDATE* This app has not been unusable for 2 weeks now (crashes immediately on opening) and there is STILL NO UPDATE TO FIX IT. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN FIXED Downloaded an update yesterday and now the app won’t open. Tap the app icon, the black back ground “run” screen appears for a split second and then it closes itself. Why do you keep breaking what doesn’t need fixed (With my “tech” head on I’m going to take a guess that these “average pace recalculations” have been tested by devs / testers with about 6 runs in their history, meaning the average pace recalculates quite quickly. But for those of us with 100s+ runs the recalculation just causes the app to freeze up and close) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crash on open *2026-08-25, version 7.79.2* Crashes every time. Just updated the app. Had the app open in background during update so that may contributed. But now I can’t go on my plan run ### 1/5 — NRC App on Apple Watch blank screen on auto pause *2026-08-24, version 7.79.2* With auto pause enabled, the app on the Apple Watch will randomly go to a blank screen once stopped with the run duration and current time only in the top right corner. Doesn’t happen all the time but it is frustrating when it does and you have to try to stop and restart the run multiple times before all the running stats return. ### 1/5 — Buggy app *2026-08-24, version 7.79.2* This is not a good app right now as someone who has an Apple Watch Series 5 and it runs on iOS 10.6.2 the app won’t open, it constantly crashes, I can’t use it to track runs or challenges. This needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — No longer tracking my location *2026-08-23, version 7.79.2* For some reason, the app stopped tracking the path of my runs after 8/12. I double checked, and location services is turned on, with precise location turned on, but it’s still not tracking them. I've opened the app while in the middle of a run, and it knows where I am/shows the map, but it no longer saves it after I'm done. ### 1/5 — Long Running Bug No Fix *2026-08-22, version 7.79.2* There is apparently a long running bug that hasn’t been fixed, preventing Apple Watch users (OS 10.x) from using it on the watch. Nike should fix since a large number of runners can’t use the app. ### 1/5 — App crashes on start *2026-08-22, version 7.79.2* I have been using this app for years, but i cannot no longer use since the latest update since it crashes on start ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-08-22, version 7.79.2* Newest release is crashing on app launch ### 1/5 — NRC STOPPED WORKING WITH 10.6.2 *2026-08-21, version 7.79.2* Fix it please ### 1/5 — Broken what didn’t need fixed *2026-08-21, version 7.79.2* *UPDATE from 21st August* Switching to a rival app to record my run this morning, as Nike Run Club still crashes upon initial attempt to load. Still no fix. What on earth is going on? *UPDATE from 19th August* This app has not been unusable for 2 weeks now (crashes immediately on opening) and there is STILL NO UPDATE TO FIX IT. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN FIXED Original review 7th August - Downloaded an update yesterday and now the app won’t open. Tap the app icon, the black back ground “run” screen appears for a split second and then it closes itself. Why do you keep breaking what doesn’t need fixed (With my “tech” head on I’m going to take a guess that these “average pace recalculations” have been tested by devs / testers with about 6 runs in their history, meaning the average pace recalculates quite quickly. But for those of us with 100s+ runs the recalculation just causes the app to freeze up and close) ### 1/5 — Can't open my app *2026-08-19, version 7.79.2* It's been a ma month and I can't open my app on my phone ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — RAN MY FIRST HALF MARATHON BC OF THIS APP *2026-08-24, version 7.79.2* I seriously rave to all my friends about my love for this app. It has so many features that I could list on and on but I suggest you find out for yourself. My favorite feature is the training plans section where for whatever race whether it’s your first 5k to first marathon they have excellent standard running training plans for each race. It’s gives you a very specific detailed plan with a running podcast coach to assist you along your run and stop in to give really helpful running advice or just life advice in general. I never thought I could run more than a few miles and have just now completed my first half marathon with NRC and I’m looking to complete my first marathon with the apps training plans. ### 5/5 — Just do it *2026-08-23, version 7.79.2* Best running app out there. Join today, it’s free🥳 and test yourself against the millions of other runners on the app in daily, weekly, monthly and year to date challenges. ### 5/5 — se1 연동안됨 *2026-08-23, version 7.79.2* 왜 안돼요 업데이트 하고나서부터 계속 튕깁니다!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — I love this app. *2026-08-22, version 7.79.2* It’s a very good app. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-18, version 7.79.2* Use it to keep track of my progress ### 5/5 — Amazing to track activity *2026-08-18, version 7.79.2* I love the app specially when I finish a run and I hear the voice of a coach telling me how much I am Improving. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-08-17, version 7.79.2* It’s my favourite app for running. ### 5/5 — Best running buddy ever *2026-08-16, version 7.79.2* I've been using the NRC app for about 3 years now and have recommended it to everyone I know who runs! Initially I got it to train for my first half marathon at the age of 65- running 3 x a week doing a recovery run, a speed run and then a long run. Doing the speed runs increased my pace without me even realising it as I wasn't putting in any more effort helping me achieve a time of 2hrs 08 mins! The guidance is so good - how to cope mentally during a run, throwing down achievable challenges and even how to tie your laces so they are not too tight! Coach Bennett has so much great advice that you can apply to other areas of your life - as he says "this is about running and this is not about running" I love this app and wouldn't be without it especially when I'm training for something! ### 5/5 — My fav running app *2026-08-16, version 7.79.2* It’s my favorite workout app 10/10 ### 5/5 — It’s Always Ready *2026-08-16, version 7.79.2* I love NRC because it is simple to use. I often get all excited, and charge to my route. Just open up the app & my goal is ready & set.
