I've been a fan and user of social networking app Path (free) for some time, even after it it was disclosed that the company was uploading iPhone Contacts to their servers. The company has now released an update to the app, adding some features that might bring miffed former users back to the Path fold. Path 2.1, available today, has one new feature that may help you on the running path. Through Nike+ GPS Running Stories, runs can automatically be journaled by linking the Nike+ GPS app (US$1.99) to Path. Your friends on Path will be able to see a map of your run, perfect for creating enmity between you and those couch potatoes. Another great new feature appears when you tap the music icon to let your buddies know what you're listening to. Instead of typing in the name of a tune, you can just tap a microphone icon to Read More

Posted 03/06/2012 at 9:38am | by David Wolinsky There are two great motivators to shedding your winter blubber: Realizing the extent of the holiday eating damage or having access to Nike's sublime iOS app that lets you track your runs. "Tracking" is perhaps putting things lightly, because this $1.99 baby serves up more stats than you could possibly need on every run you take. That means it's versatile enough to sate seasoned road warriors (the GPS function tracks both your pace and path) and wobbly newbies (it cheers you on when you break your own records). By offering access to lots of information about your own exercise history, it enables users to feel both empowered about their own accomplishments and realize what weaknesses they should work on. For example: Do you run mainly on Wednesdays? What's your farthest run? Fastest 1K? It can give you pause to figure out why that Read More

Nike oggi ha presentato i suoi nuovi 2 prodotti, Nike+ Basket e Nike+ Training. Sin dal 2006, Nike combina le calzature con le nuove tecnologie, rendendole compatibili con le applicazioni prenseti in App Store, come Nike + GPS e Nike + FuelBand. Grazie al nuovo Nike+ Basket, possiamo scegliere i due diversi servizi che Nike ci offre per misurare la nostra attvità sportiva: infatti Nike ha sviluppato 2 modalità di registrazione dei nostri dati, “Track My Game” e “Showcase”. Con la prima modalità abbiamo la possibilità di misurare i nostri salti mentre giochiamo a baskete e la nostra velocità. Con la modalità “Showcase”, invece, i giocatori avranno la possibilità ,tra l’altro, di registrare le proprie schiacciate e di condividerle sui social network come Twitter e Youtube. Penso che Nike+ Basket cambierà il gioco della pallacanestro. Avere accesso a queste informazioni, per noi giocatori di questo livello, è molto importante. Penso che questo servizio avrà un impatto enorme su Read More

Jayme Martin, VP and GM of Nike Running, has emailed a letter to Nike+ users, apologizing for the platform’s performance over the past few months. He says that Nike is aware of a number of issues that have been affecting its users, including problems logging in, syncing devices, sharing runs and editing profiles. “Just like you, we hold ourselves to incredibly high standards,” writes Martin, “and right now Nike+ isn’t living up to them.” The letter also revealed Nike’s plans for a new Nike Plus platform that will resolve these issues as well as add more features. Nike+ is a comprehensive sensor-assisted platform for runners, which uses an accelerometer either strapped to the body in a watch, band or other gadget. It can also use the iPhone’s accelerometer in combination with an app which adds GPS details to the data it collects. With Nike+, runners can record the details of a Read More

Ya anteriormente os hemos hablado de Nike+ GPS, una estupenda aplicación para gestionar nuestros entrenamientos, caminatas y carreras. Con ella podemos hacer practicamente lo mismo que con Nike+ pero sin la necesidad de comprar un sensor para colocarlo en las zapatillas, y todo gracias al uso que hace del GPS del iPhone. Podremos establecer rutas, marcarnos objetivos, retar a nuestros amigos e incluso ver las calorías que hemos quemado durante nuestro entrenamiento (ideal para aquellos que quieren ponerse en forma antes de que lleguen los días de playa). Nike+ GPS tiene un precio de 1,79€ pero ahora podemos encontrarla en la App Store gratis por tiempo limitado y es que en Nike estan celebrando el quinto aniversario desde que lanzaron la primera aplicación para llevar el registro de nuestros entrenamientos. Precio: Gratis por tiempo limitado Read More

Nike+ is about to turn five years old, and they are celebrating by giving their Nike+ GPS app away for free for a limited time. The app is similar to other run-tracking apps, but it's got a much cleaner interface than most and a color-coded map line so that you can see the parts of your run where you were faster or slower. Nike+ GPS also offers some fun features other running apps don't, such as motivational messages from Nike's top athletes, personalized PowerSongs to jazz up your run, and even the ability to hear mid-run cheers every time your friends like or comment on your run status. Even if you are using another running app, Nike+ GPS is worth the download while it's free (it's usually US$1.99). And remember, Nike+ GPS uses the iPhone's built-in GPS, so it doesn't require the separate Nike+ shoe insert. Read More

posted by D. St. Charles on Monday, January 17, 2011 at 3:09 pm.   Nike+ GPS has updated their app with a “Tag” feature which allows runners to challenge their friends to complete a suggested time or distance within the next three days.  The person who ran the shortest distance, or was the last to run, is “it.” The app already incorporates other social aspects including broadcasting your runs via Facebook and Twitter (Share Run), as well as receiving encouragement from friends while you run (Cheer Me On). I started out using the Nike+ system and found the footpod version very inaccurate.  The GPS version did not seem much better.  Additionally, it is quite a drain on your battery.  If you want to use it, and listen to a playlist, your either have to run very fast to cover the distance or go shorter.  Compound the energy drain with a pair Read More

by Who’s up for a friendly game of Nike+ Tag? Let the games begin, Nike+ GPS users — there’s an update now available for your iPhone app, letting you compete against your friends. It’s available for download from the iTunes App Store as a free update to existing Nike+ GPS app users, or it’ll cost you $1.99 for a new purchase. While there’s no physical tagging going on, the object of the game is like you might expect: Don’t be “it.” Runners compete against each other, and whoever runs the slowest, the shortest distance, or starts running latest in the day is designated as “it.” How does it work? Nike explains it: Unfortunately, if you’re a Nike+ iPod user using a watch or shoe sensor, you won’t be able to play this new game of Tag. According to Nike, the two apps were developed by completely different teams, and they use Read More

We just talked to Nike last week about its Nike+ GPS app for the iPhone, and there's another update to the already full-featured app. A new feature called Tag brings competition into Nike+ GPS. After you finish a run in the app, you can press the Tag button to invite as many of your friends or contacts to the game as you want; each user invited has to complete a certain goal within three days. The goal can be set for distance, time or the last person to actually go running. At the end of the game, everyone gets to know who was "IT" -- whoever went the shortest or whoever ran last. It's all meant in fun, but it seems like a cool, social way to keep your friends running -- a little competition between fellow runners. There's a video embedded after the break that Nike put together to show Read More

Here’s one for the iPhone ownin’ exercise fans who at the same time love Nike brand and their sports equipment… The number 1 Health and Wellness app on iTunes, Nike+ GPS, which uses accelerometer and GPS to track your running routes, MPH and calories burned, has been updated recently. The main new thing of this release is a neat Facebook integration. If you write that you’re going for a run on Facebook, your buddies can now “cheer you on,” prompting stadium applause to play in your headphones during a workout. The new feature works in conjunction of the existing voice-prompted encouragements, which is a Powersong feature to give you a boost… And that’s about it. If you’re into running around the city (or around your area), Nike+ GPS is one of the apps worth considering buying for your iPhone. Similar apps that are available in the AppStore include Jog Log, LogYourRun, Read More

Nike has updated Nike+ GPS once again, this time with support for Facebook notifications. Basically, users can request encouragement from their Facebook friends from within the app. After enabling the option to "get cheers" from Facebook, runners can start their run while the app publishes the start of the workout to Facebook. As readers choose to cheer you on, those status messages are pushed to the app itself. That way, the runner can receive notes of encouragement while they're on the road. Likewise, the app will publish the completion of the run to Facebook (and Twitter, if enabled). It sounds like a fun way to stay motivated, if that's your thing. Version 2. 0 of the free Nike+ GPS app is out now. Read More

Fingers crossed for a Launched on the Apple TV soon. Microsoft decides to throw the retail gauntlet down and plans on opening a store across from the Apple Store in the Mall of America.

Posted 10/04/2010 at 12:36pm | by Andrew Hayward Each new iPhone has offered fresh and fantastical ways to improve your daily life, but the epic tag-team of the iPhone 4 and iOS 4 deliver the greatest set of tools and features to date. With the introduction of FaceTime video calls, multitasking, and the high resolution Retina display, the iPhone 4 has moved even further away from being just a powerful phone and web-surfing device. Now more than ever, the iPhone is a true lifestyle-enhancing accessory. Between the built-in features and the hundreds of thousands of options in the App Store, not to mention a few key accessories, the iPhone 4 can be figuratively formed and changed to fit your daily needs, whether you’re planning your daily commute, knocking out items on your to-do list, or simply looking to try a new restaurant. With this wide-ranging versatility in mind, we’ve come up Read More

Runners on a budget don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars for a GPS unit or watch that will accurately record their distance and time on a run, provided they have already spent hundreds on an iPhone. A new $1.99 app from Nike uses the iPhone’s GPS and mapping capabilities to track a runner’s performance. To test the app, called Nike+ GPS, I enlisted devoted runner Barbara Scherr, who fired up the app at the same time she started her Garmin Forerunner 305, a GPS unit worn on the wrist with a suggested price of $200. “It seemed to find the GPS pretty quickly, a little faster than my Garmin. It was fairly simple to navigate. Just press ‘start run’ and ‘play,’” she said. Actually, it’s just slightly more complicated due to the options you can choose. You pick a basic run indoors or outdoors, take your music and start your Read More

As much as I've always wanted to use Nike+ with my iPhone, I stayed away because of the required hardware. Well, the new version of the app doesn't require Nike+-equipped running shoes, so I'm ready to shell out my 2 bucks and hit the trail with nothing but my iPhone's internal GPS. Nike+ GPS gives you a readout of your speed, pace and distance covered, plus a visual record of your run using Google Maps, all without any shoes or kits to buy. I also love RunKeeper's ad-supported free app, which overlaps a lot of the features of the Nike+ GPS version, but there are some advantages to paying for Nike+. First, your path on Google maps is color-coded to give a quick visual readout of how fast you were going during each part of your run. Second, and probably more important for current Nike+ diehards, the new app includes playlist Read More

I admit it. I've always thought that the Nike+ shoe sensor thing was kind of lame. Even though I actually do own the right shoes, I never thought it worth while to pick up the optional pedometer sensor just so I could take advantage of the built-in iPhone feature. I know that there are people out there who really loved using the Nike+ features on their iPhone but I've much preferred using other tracking apps and skipping the shoe tie-in. Now, several years after GPS debuted on the iPhone 3G, Nike has finally made the move to shoe-less positioning. For $1.99, you can pick up a copy of Nike+ GPS. The reviews on the iTunes site have been generally positive, but it's clear that this is a slick yet limited application. There's not a lot of flexibility for multiple exercise modalities (like biking or cross country skiing) and you don't get Read More

Running is a lot of work. That’s why the previous version of the Nike+ iPod was a bit of a hassle since you had to have special equipment just to participate in the experience. Apparently Nike agreed. Now in the App Store is an app called Nike+ GPS which is a stand alone version of the aforementioned application. The $2 selection which you can download here utilizes the iPhone’s accelerometer and GPS capabilities (must be running iOS 3.1 or higher), which ditches the need for any additional adapters that it once required…   For those of you who like keeping track of where you’ve sweated your guts out, you’re in luck ; Nike+ GPS allows you to track your trek on a Google Map layout. This and other trackable features can then be uploaded to an account that keeps track of your statistics. If you’re a slacker, have no fear. You Read More

Posted 09/07/2010 at 4:39am | by J.R. Bookwalter If you love running as much as you love your iPhone, there’s a special treat waiting for you in the App Store this week: Nike has updated their popular Nike+ app with a a GPS-enabled version. 9to5Mac is reporting that Nike+ GPS is now available in the App Store, which tracks your runs with GPS rather than the old manual method using Nike+ sensors. If you’re the type of runner who needs some motivation to get going, the app will give it to you -- while you run and after you finish -- from some of Nike’s top celebrity athletes. “The Nike+ GPS app helps you get the most out of every run by tracking where you go and motivating you to take it further,” the app description reads. “Download it on the go and start running anywhere.” Nike+ GPS allows you to Read More
