    Not opened the Nike app for ages - just had a look at the new version and I've just reached Volt level at last.

    Still have a soft spot for the App as it takes my right back to my first ever run.

    It's weird coz on the site it's in KM, and on the app I have selected metric units of measurement but the app still refuses to show anything but miles

    This app is a fucking mess. I just ran a reasonably fast 5k and it recorded it as 0.3k.

    Nice to see you've still got the creepshot of the Frozen lass in your album, user smoothpete ;)

    haha, good times :)

    Switched to strava, this Nike thing can do one.

    You'll never go back pete. I swapped to strava a good while back. It had none of the niggles that used to wind me up with the old nike+ app, especially when it often messed up distances and speeds.

    Mind you, it may be wise to disable the auto-pause and screen lock/timeout options in the strava settings if you haven't already done that. For a brief while that caused some occasional issues with losing gps signal and not finding it again once re-activated. That might have been patched now though.

    Admittedly, I only use phone strava for cycling now after I swapped to a gps watch this year, once I started to resent lugging a phone on my arm and had stopped listening to music when running anyway.

    I still load my runs and rowing data up to strava anyway, because a log of effort helps keep focus!

    Like many in here, I've left Nike+ well behind. The app, the watch and the website all had many problems, but as with Gurg, I'll always have a soft spot for them (and this thread) because they got me into running in the first place.

    I occasionally use the Strava App, but worry they are bringing in too many features that will weigh it down. A couple of years ago it was clean and light.

    I run with a Garmin watch that uploads all my stuff to Strava. The ability to upload via bluetooth using my phone has blown my mind! Who knew plugging it into a computer every time was such a time sink.

    FFS. I thought there was going to be a new forum challenge and it's just some spammer.

    I still use the Nike+ on my iPod paired with the foot sensor but obviously they removed the syncing and the website has gone as well.

    So what's good nowadays? Strava?

    I’m still using Nike+ as a mostly indoor runner as Strava doesn’t do treadmill runs on Apple Watch.

    You can log virtual runs on the strava app though if you have a gps watch that can cope with treadmill running, or just add in the data form the running machine itself.

    I never treadmill now though, I like to see stuff and get out in the fresh air!

    I still rate Strava a lot mrpon, it covers all the bases I need it to.
