Nike Run Club: Running Coach Reviews

Old app was better

Sim12345555006

The old app was better but this new one has so many glitches. I'm surprised a company like Nike would even release a version with this many bugs. It has trouble pausing and resuming runs. I just ran 3 miles and it only accounted for 0.6 mile and it's the same route I always run and never had a problem before. I wish I could just go back to the previous version

Worst update

Worst update, keeps changing my settings every time, my weight, my voice feedback, so annoying.

After getting into it a little I like it better but it still hurts to use arrrrr

This application replaced my Nike running and now will not let me continue the training I was doing- it's awful. It is full of bugs and there is no good support path twitter is not support really awful - don't install unless compelled. Save yourself some problems - Nike please let me have back the fully functional old application with the new coach......!!!!!!! Now I must say that the coaching section is a lot better than Nike running but the application still has areas that I have seen no purpose for such as super large social media sections of profiles from athletes or links to the social bull pin - it is in my way My Jurry is still out but the much improved coach section is all that is keeping me from not deleting it all together Nike tighten it up please pull out the bull and give me my history back - add more content make it easier to use

Truly Terrible

I'm not sure how Nike managed to take a perfectly fine app with Nike+ and so thoroughly break it with this update, but they did. The app has crashed on every run I've done with it and intermittently freezes (and gets incorrect distances). The pause button is little more than decoration since it may respond to a button push 1 out of 10 times, and often when the app voice says the app is paused, it is not. If I'm fortunate enough to pause a run, the button to restart it doesn't work. None of this matters since the app can't make it through an entire run without crashing. It also seems to drain much more battery than normal. Great work Nike! I'm finding another running app... Update: new version and with iOS 10 with the exact same problems. Pause button is for show, app freezes on every run. It's clear Nike has no interest in fixing the app (which should make thinks interesting with the new Nike themed Apple Watch comes out). I've switched over to MapMyRun, which at least works.

What happened?

New app sometimes doesn't track the correct miles. I can tell the new app uses much more data. I enjoy the new UI, but I need to have a reliable running app

Awful

Terrible, terrible revamp. Completely and utterly unintuitive interface. Also, why can we no longer see our friend's best times????? This is the primary reason people use this app, healthy competition among friends, to see where you stand (not just a leaderboard). I click on my friend and it's just completely empty. Come on Nike...Seriously considering switching to another popular running app. I really hope the team at Nike is able to admit their mistake and fix this before everyone dumps them for the next best app, as i'm sure they've already begun to do. I hope they don't lie to themselves and say "it always takes time for a refresh to be accepted". Hey Nike, how many people are using your app this month compared to last?? Completely awful.

Still not liking it

ChiBear79

Likes: Still pending Dislikes: 1. Not as user friendly 2. Achievements and trophies still gone 3. Run stats - went from detailed - to mileage and time. 4. Way to many steps just to post a run and doesn't post with details 5. Coaching for marathon doesn't seem nearer as good as before. A. Can't pick whatever date I want past six months B. Suggested runs seem way to light C. To many requirements to personalize 6. All run nots have disappeared - really don't like that, meant something to me and tracking details from diet that day, to my level of energy. If it weren't for the fact I have logged thousands of miles on this app, would've deleted already. That said, seriously considering other options. Please simplify. A good start would be to fire your creative design group and reload previous design. How many negative reviews do you need. I really dislike being this negative, messes with my after run vibe.

This app went from hero to zero

Ugh. How could something that used to work perfect become such an unusable disaster. The basic functions don't even reliably work for me anymore. Finding another app and swearing off all Nike products. Nike completely blew it here.

Ruined a great app

Who asked for this update? Nike, if it is not broken, please do not fix it. I have used the old version of nike+ for years to track my marathon training and progress. The new app is clearly not designed with runners in mind. Terrible update

Nike Run Club Review

Let me start by saying, you don't release a complete overhaul as an "update". Nike Run Club should have been released as a new app, and then the other app could have been phased out over time. I'm not even going to get into how you forced this on everyone right in the middle of training.?? BUGS: One of the things I actually like about the new app is the ability to edit the training schedule, but...it's doing some crazy things. For example I didn't get to run Sat so I moved my long run to Sun. Simply swapped with a rest day. No problem. Until I finished my run... it gave me the option to assign the run but only to the workouts earlier in the week(which were already done). The long run was gone. Went and looked at my plan and I had three rest days in a row. What??Then the next day I realized my next week was screwed with too. That's where the extra rest day came from. Editing one week SHOULD NOT EFFECT OTHER WEEKS! Since I started writing this my schedule has changed several more times...Give me a plan and I will edit it as I need to, PLEASE DO NOT EDIT IT FOR ME! So I'm taking my time writing this, I want to make sure I don't leave anything out. My schedule has changed AGAIN. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF RUNNING, STOP THE MADNESS! "Congratulations, you've reached your goal of 0.0 miles." Confused? Yeah me too... Especially since I started through the coach with a set distance. It didn't tell me when I reached my set 3.25 miles, however it did tell me when I went 3 miles beyond my goal... I ran my fastest half in 12:02. That's 12 minutes and two seconds. Whaaaaaaat? Actually I'm currently training for my FIRST half. That data is linked to an 8 mile run, but still makes no sense, I most certainly did not do the 8 miles in 12:02 either. I would very much like to get my notification of my fastest half, when I actually finish my first half next month. Every time I check my weight it says 72lbs. I have changed it several times and it keeps going back. If I weighed 72lbs I would be in the hospital hooked to an IV... GIVE IT BACK: Emoticons! I really dislike the new effort bar. The effort does not gauge how the workout felt. I can do a challenging run one day and feel awful and put in the same effort another day and feel great. The training progress bar. The green bar inching to my goal was a great motivator! The old way to post to Facebook/Instagram. Much simpler. Please stop forcing me to post to the Nike newsfeed if I want to share elsewhere. Hate the new post for fb cheers too. The old way updated after you finished your run to actually reflect the miles completed. I don't need my fb page filled with pointless green blocks that give no info. Challenges Trophies! Why should I have to log on the website to see my trophies!?? NEEDS: Audio cues for speedwork, automatic pause/start for each interval with the ability to preset desired rest time. Shouldn't speedwork be "hands free"?!? The benchmark had a nice audio guide through the whole thing. Can we not have that for speedwork??? The ability to add/remove rest days and NTC days. The ability to assign a run to the training plan. I now see this option on my latest runs. On the past few weeks it is not available. When my week says 1/5 workouts completed, it bugs me...immensely... My OCD tendencies need that 5/5. Ability to retire a shoe! Where did this option go? Is it hiding somewhere? My retired shoes are back and haunting me! It automatically puts the shoes I don't even own anymore! I see other people posting about other problems as well. These are just the ones that have personally affected me. Was this app even beta tested?? Please fix this mess!
