The aim of this app assist the user with their running, with the motivation of other runners surrounding you and expert guidance to help you reach your goals.

The Verdict

Recently, Nike has redesigned the app and upgraded it to the Run Club. Surprisingly, many users seem to be unsatisfied with the new system and have expressed their appreciation for the old version of the app. This isn't to say that the Nike+ Run Club app is not good, however the new upgrade may take some getting used to! The app still performs everything you need it to, just in a different way. As a user of the previous app, adjusting to the new one has been frustrating. In saying this, I still use and will continue to use the app as it is a great running partner.
