I think that this is app is very good for introducing beginners into running. I think that it is very nice simple and easy to use. and the runs are quite enjoyable. and there are so many to choose from. I do wish that it would include recovery after a run, and strength training that help with your runs. but still an amazing app.
Nike Run app is easy to use, and its GPS tracking is accurate for both pace and distance. It’s a great tool for runners of all levels. However, it loses a point for not supporting some popular running shoes (like the ones I wear), which makes it harder to track my runs in full detail. 4/5 overall!
To Much talking. The speeches during runs are entirely to long and to frequent. There is no chance to get into a groove with the coaches constantly chatting your ear off. There should be an option to turn this down or off. Yes, I know there is non-guided run. This mode doesnt give interval indicators. The GPS is absolutely awful as well
Coach Bennett has completely changed my view of running as an adult. I ran a lot as a kid and was competitive through highschool, but never was able to stay consistent since I graduated. Having the guided runs and the pre-planned programs is so helpful for someone getting back into running. The app itself is super easy to navigate and use. Highly recommend for any runner— beginner or advanced.
It's absolutely horrible, and I'm tired of giving it more chances to have my correct info. It's hard to believe this app has me at an almost 24 min mile while I'm on the treadmill with the indoors setting on and at a pace of 10:54. I installed this app to be a part of a challenge group to help me get ready for the marathon, and this has demotivated me so much, and I'm tired of it. Now, I won't have a group to work with, but it's not worth keeping this app.
While I appreciate that this app has free training programs, it is virtually unusable if you want to track your run. The GPS on my phone is significantly off and has overstated multiple runs by over half mile for a 4 mile run. I have check battery usage, background info, etc and it is way off. Side by side with my smartwatch, I know it's not buildings or a view of the sky. This app just processes GPS data wrong and it makes using it as a tracker useless. Tested on both S24ultra and pixel9pro
Overall really good app, with just a few minor nuisances. I've used the 10K and 1/2 marathon training plans with solid success. They have a nice variety of workouts, to keep training from getting stale. Primary gripe is that about once a month, a workout log gets wiped out/doesn't record. Minor gripe is that I find the audio coaching on the guided runs to be too chatty for my tastes. I'd prefer an option with just the start & stop times for intervals, without the "rah-rah" stuff.
I have loved this app since I started using it, but in the last few weeks, it's stopped recording my mileage or only recording a tiny portion of it so it's messing up my tracking. I've enjoyed listening to some of the guided runs, like using the simple timed portion, but I find it extremely frustrating to get finished with a run only to find nothing recorded. I've checked all the settings, made sure it's updated, etc. Nike is a huge company. This shouldn't be a hard fix.
Now I use Strava instead, because this app constantly logs me out. And then every time I log back in, I have to re-enter my height and weight. or reset settings. I just want to be able to hit run, and go! UPDATE 2025 still an issue. The app just logs you out and requires an annoying log in process and 2 factor authentication... Just to track my run lol. update: new updates app, still have to log in every time and half the time I have to close the app and restart. Strava all the way!
The guided workouts and runs are a great feature! My only complaint is that sometimes, especially when doing guided runs, the app doesn't let you end your run. It just loads forever while the time keeps ticking, even though it should be paused. A little annoying, but that's the only issue I've come across. Otherwise a great running app!
