1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Keeps needing to be reinstalled. Using with iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Watch 8 with Cellular. Every so often GPS is off by up to 1/2 mile. Need to remove and reinstall and re-pair the watch to the phone. This has occurred multiple times over the years I have been using this app.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App doesn’t properly track distance any longer. 0 out of 5! App no longer tracks my actual distance I go. Thought it was a once or twice thing, but it’s been doing it for about 3 or 4 months now. I tried it again today and it said I went .11 while my Apple Watch said I went 1.52. Find another app that works!

3. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Wildly wrong distances. Used to be ok. Now it tells me I’ve run a mile at the 3/4 mark. Consistently inaccurate on every route

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   thumbs down emoji. this is mad inconsistent. it doesn’t tell accurate miles which messes up mileage. this is frustrating.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   tracking. App has stopped tracking my runs. Very unfortunate because this is the main app I use to track my workouts.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App is trash. App doesn’t record your workouts. No excuses for Nike, they just don’t care.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not a good app. This app freezes constantly and pauses workout routinely in the middle of running.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Never stays connected. NRC is the only app that randomly disconnects from my watch. I even bought a new watch and it still does it. Will be switching to another running app

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   I have this app for over 7 years. AND I LOVE IT!!! It’s even better paired with Nike Training app !!. Update - there has been an update to this app that has needed up this wonderful app. Anything can make the it pause and stops taking the mileage and time. I won’t notice until I finish my run and all is wrong. I now keep my time and mileage with my apple watch workout app. Please fix it.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Nike Run Club does not work with Apple Watch SE. I have been using NRC from 2014, a recent app upgrade does makes this app does not work on my Apple Watch SE.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not very accurate and logged me out again. Very very annoying it keeps logging out and I have to log back in. I do not get the passcode on time, the passcode is sent to my email and comes hours later I get no notification that is going to have me log back in again and I am ready to start my run. Thank goodness I use Runkeeper and Strava. I get to record my run Runkeeper Strava, and my Apple watch gives me the same distance, but Nike always shows that I did more than I actually did.

12. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Edit feature needs to be fixed. Just finished the best run of my life. My hand was too sweaty to stop the workout on my watch and it added an extra 30 seconds to the run. I went to the edit feature to remove that time and now all of the data is irrecoverably lost. Wtf. How could that be the case??

13. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Glitch.. Challenge screen is suddenly showing up white and not loading Leaderboard.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Coach Bennet is my mortal enemy. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHUT COACH BENNET UP on the interval runs. It’s the cringiest stupidest god forsaken pep talks. You have Reddit threads going back SIX YEARRRRSSS asking to shut him up. Every time I download this app I remember how idiotic it is and have to delete it again. I just want someone to count be off at each minute HOW IS THAT SO HARD TO ASK FOR

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App freezes mid runs. Multiple times now I’ve been doing a run and the app just paused my workout with zero not notification. Why is it doing this?

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    A lot of bugs now. It always pauses my runs when I turn my screen off on my iPhone. I constantly have to click resume. Which is quite annoying. Never had this issue the past couple of years using this app.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Tbi = no go. Hey, I have a TBI. So could the people who made the app have a way to take a run off your to do list? So I’m saying give us the ability to add or subtract a run from your to do list every week. Thanks!! -Finn

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Volume. I use this app for years, but have a persistent issue with the app overriding volume in my podcast or whatever else I listen to to where I can barely hear it while I’m running. This has made me stop using this app and I’m really irritated and disappointed because this is what I used to track my mileage on my shoes.

19. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

    Login error. I can’t login it says Error parsing response from server

20. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    No longer works with Apple Watch. The new update on Nike Run Club removed the app from my watch. My Apple Watch does not support the OS11. But the watch still works great. There is no need to buy a new one yet so I’m very frustrated that I can no longer use the Nike run app on it.

21. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Not accurate. I’ve tried to give the app a chance for about 3 months now and it’s just never accurate and always always lags while running. I’ve compared the app’s calculated miles with and without the app and the app is always wrong

22. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Stopped working on Apple Watch. This is no longer compatible with the Apple Watch, so I can only use the app on the iPhone. I have been using this for years to track runs, so this is very frustrating.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    You took the best part of the app away years ago. Runners can’t post and talk to each other and take pictures of themselves during or after a run. Most of everyone I know quit running and or using the app because it was no longer competitive and fun.You took the community aspect out of the app.Stats alone is not enough, the ability to talk about those stats within the app is what makes it fun, you guys really missed the mark.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    stopped supporting older apple watches. I have an SE and I am literally unable to use my watch with the app because it cannot update to IOS 11. My watch works perfectly fine, and there is literally no need to upgrade outside of just getting a newer watch. This is a disgrace from Nike. I bought this watch not even 5 years ago, and now this app will not work with it.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App access. I don't have access to my account with my email I've tried many ways but I don't even receive a validation code in my mail account !!!

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No longer Compatible - WATCH OS 10. The app is no longer compatible with Watch OS 10. Many Apple Watches, such as mine, cannot update to OS 11. Please fix the compatibility

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why did you do this????. Why did you ruin a perfect good Nike-branded Apple Watch Series 4 by requiring a WatchOS update that this watch can’t support? The app was working perfectly fine. You should be ashamed of yourself. If I could give this review zero stars, I would.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not compatible. Have always used this to track my runs and really liked the app. It is no longer compatible with my Apple Watch that isn't that old. This is very frustrating as my only options are to find a new app or buy a new watch. Disappointed

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t install this update. I have used NRC for probably 15 years. I bought the Nike Apple Watch SE to pair nicely with it. Nike made its update only work with Watch OS 11.0. The Nike Watch (2nd gen) only can get 10.6.2. So, Nike made the Nike Watch unable to work with the Nike app. The watch is 2-3 years old. I’m not spending another $500 to use NRC app, so after 15 years Nike has transitioned me to something else. Very disappointing

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Less talking more silence. The app and workouts are fine but there is to much yapping in the guided runs. The “coaches” are annoying and never shut the hell up. A little bit of guidance and motivation is great but an entire 30 minute run with these coaches yapping it’s just too much.
