Nike Run Club - Running Coach: What Users Actually Complain About
Overview
The Nike Running app suffers primarily from tracking inaccuracies and measurement errors, which significantly impact the core functionality of a running app. Login issues and app instability are also major concerns that prevent users from reliably using the application for their fitness tracking needs.
Top complaints
1. Tracking and Measurement Inaccuracies

“very glitchy. ran a 7:05, 6:23, and 5:59 mile, said my average pace was 7:44 per mile.”
“the app stops tracking the distance but the time keeps going. Useless app”
“the app shows less distance than the actual distance I ran ( I ran 5km but the app shows only around 3km)”
2. Login and Authentication Problems
