Tracks all my runs in one place also has challenges you can complete with acknowledgment when it's finished. Great motivator. Have to make sure you lock your app so that the runs don't pause you can also choose to turn off the auto pause feature. Vocal feedback is in the settings for each mile or KM also.

Third edit: two months later. Still not tracking my plan runs in the plan. So freaking annoying. Tracking them as regular runs so I can't look back and see any progress or times for intervals. Second edit: It sucks again. I've run four different runs in the training plan in the last week and a half, and it has not saved a single one of them. So, while the guidance is great, I have no record of my training runs to look back on, even after I save the run - if it ever let's me get to that screen.

Update: Latest update has a lot more crashes and GPS stops Old: It's getting better. Last review: Honestly this is a great app. The quality on the guided runs you get is top notch. Experienced and new runners should definitely give this a try. They have a big selection of guided runs, leader boards, and challenges to keep you pushing. The content of the app is 💯 The only thing I that I couldn't give a five stars is the design/bugs in app.

I have always been someone that has told himself that running a marathon is beyond my capability. I decided to make a change and see if I could accomplish a marathon at least once in my lifetime. I had little confidence in running and pacing and was recommended this app. It was immediately a game changer. I could track my distance, set goals, and get realtime feedback. Most importantly, my long runs with Coach Bennett were significant with my development. The marathon is possible.

App still feature incomplete after so many years on watches other than apple. Why can't I search through the catalog of guided runs? Why can't I easily access guided runs I just downloaded? Plans? If you don't want to have those feature on wearos, fine, then why can't the watch act as a auxillary device/remote control for the phone? It's disappointing, and frustrating because it feels pointless. Nike, youre in a space space. Blink twice if apple is forcing you to cripple the wearos version.

Been using this app for a few years, it has a good combo of precorded coaching and then it has pretty accurate GPS tracking for distance. I like the reminders you can set to give you progression checks and change from goals of distance or time. Overall, I recommend this app to all runner types.

Overall, I've had a good experience doing the training plans available on the app. It makes running a lot less unbearable with someone keeping you going. Distance tracking is pretty good and you can see how far your friends in your club go as well. Pretty cool to see yearly, monthly and weekly summaries. But I have had issues with app freezing and not tracking (rare) but it's quite frustrating when it happens.

Be forewarned: the new update as of the end of October 2024, Nike added a feature to notify contacts that you are going on a run. That's cool! However, at the end of your run, when you look at your statistics from the run, a huge banner appears that says to notify your contacts that you finished your run. Even if you click that button and send a notification, the banner still doesn't go away. So I will never be using that feature again unless they remove that banner. Run color got turned off too

Been using the app for years and it's been great up until now. For the last month the app has stopped tracking distance accurately and it makes the entire app unusable. I've been running at the same track for years so I know where the mile markers are, and the app used to too. Now though I'll run clean past the mile marker and the app will be stuck at .96. By the time I finish my run the app is way behind, and that's if it even continued tracking at all.

The guided run have not only been a wealth of knowledge and teaching how to run, but also just fun to listen to. This has made my training for my first marathon a blast and I can wait for the next starting line! I would also love to see some more community features, the challenges are pretty cool but I think tapping into the wide world of runners would be pretty amazing!
