It’s been a long time coming, but Nike has finally gotten into the GPS-tracking runner’s market with the Nike+ GPS app ($1.99). Nike will be taking on an established market of iPhone runner’s apps like personal favorite, Runkeeper.
The Nike+ GPS app uses the iPhone’s GPS to track distance and speed, while also offering some familiar Nike+ features like PowerSongs and motivational messages from Nike celebrity athletes. And best of all, it does not require the annoying Nike+ sensor from yesteryear.
Features:
- Records your run’s pace, distance, and run route.
- View calories burned.
- View your run route on Google Maps.
- Set goals and personal challenges within the app.
- Reach goals and get congratulatory and motivational messages from celebrity athletes.
- Get voice feedback on how your run is going.
- Activate your personalized PowerSong for that extra motivational push.
- Sync data with the Nike+ website, where you can set challenges, goals, and utilize the Nike+ runner’s community.
- View your history of runs.
Nike+ GPS is a $1.99 download from the App Store.
Does this App actually work? Now I know why they wouldnt fix the free Nike + Ipod app. Its been broke for 2-3 months and instead of fixing the free app they just offer a 1.99 app. What a Joke…
Great app, but I can’t get it to sync with nikeplus homepage
I don’t think this will work if your a running on a treadmill
I can not get it to sync with Nike+ either… Pretty frustrating since that is basically what would keep track of the progress. Pretty useless without.
I works perfectly with treadmill.
The app has an error with syncing, but Nike is aware of the problem and they are working on a solution to solve it.
will this app work if you are running a track indoors? i live in saskatchewan canada and must run indoors alot in the winter.this sounds great for outside but how will it work indoors if it is based on gps? i have a gps watch that will not work indoors.
