  1. [R2] Nike 4/5 · US Great but one thing: I really like this app and it’s one of my favorites. I really like the selection and good things that they have. There are a few things about that I think could be fixed on to make it work better first off the NikeAI I really like it but it’s really hard to tell that it’s actually trying to tell you if you ask it like when’s this gonna go on sale or something like that it’ll j
  2. [R11] Nike 5/5 · US Here’s on thing: In my opinion I love the Ja 3s but with the Nike by you then need to add more colors and you should be able to customize the J and the A and for the colors maybe make a rainbow wheel were you can make a color for your self and also make some shiny ones and it would make more people want to make their own and they made something that made them happy. Just add more things to custom
  3. [R19] Nike 1/5 · US Content Overload: I find it extremely difficult to shop on the Nike app as it overloaded with content. It would be nice to have a healthy balance of content and products. The current format makes it difficult to just search for products.
  4. [R42] Nike 3/5 · GB Where’s the sales section gone??: As most who use this app know that there’s always been a sales section but that has now disappeared and the only way to access it is to Search for it. Nike shoes have gotten extortionately expensive for what they are since covid and this must be their way of pushing you to buy the full price shoes rather than searching the sales where the shoes or clothing can be
  5. [R10] Nike 2/5 · US new app update: the new app update made it impossible to find the for sale section. overall the flow of the main homepage is not intuitive. the app redesign looks like it was made by ai.
  6. [R13] Nike 1/5 · US New Browse Is Terrible: Ugh this last update made it near impossible to navigate. I can’t find anything as easily as I could. What are these categories anyways… just basketball, sportswear, running, soccer, training? What even is the purpose of the home tab? To have tab navigation then within one of those tabs you have a dropdown with more categories. What were you thinking product managers?
  7. [R1] Nike 2/5 · US Great for Shopping annoying for Alerts: Functionally wise, this is a good app. However, when you try to filter on just men’s clothing, it does not show you only men’s items. The most annoying thing with this app is when you delete messages you still have a red circle on the app icon on your home screen. I think they do this on purpose to get you to go back into the app. But it never removes those
  8. [R3] Nike 3/5 · US Update app: It sad that one has to update constant to meet the criteria of a phone. Just fix the bug and leave the upgrade alone. Not everyone wants to update their phones. This is why people rather go with Android than being with IPhone and their rules. There was nothing wrong with the other versions. For this I will no longer serve my money and time to buy from NIKE. It does not serve my purpose
  9. [R4] Nike 1/5 · US The app doesn’t send the confirmation code: The app doesn’t work
  10. [R7] Nike 1/5 · US Why is it bad: It wouldn’t even send the code and I’m trying to get In but your app cause me madness and I’m piss and I don’t understand why your app doesn’t give me the code
  11. [R12] Nike 3/5 · US todo agotado: mi pregunta es para que tienen la app si la mayoria de los zapatos lo tienen agotado? que les pasa se supone que deberían tener disponible algo xd
  12. [R68] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US actually best workout app: favorite workout app bc everything is free and good
  13. [R74] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US Perfect for everyone: It’s hard to not mention right away that this is a free app because that’s not the coolest thing about this app. If you are not in shape, but trying to get there, this is for you. There are a variety of workouts clearly labeled from beginner to expert and if you just need some momentum… Pick a 5 to 10 minute workout. You don’t have to commit your whole afternoon, just a few m
  14. [R6] Nike 3/5 · US Bugs: I was seeking help because when I customized a pair of shoes the app reverted the color to something I didn’t order . The feature to talk with representatives sucks. The representative closed the chat without allowing you to respond. My rep name was Selina
  15. [R15] Nike 3/5 · US Notifications: You need to fix your notifications. The notification badge never ever clear no matter what I do. The badge is persistently visible indicating g that there are u read messages when I fact there are not. If this is an attempt to increase app usage the. It’s a sleazy way of going about it.
  16. [R27] Nike 3/5 · US Unread messages “glitch”: Unread messages “glitch” entices users to open app more than once to get rid of unread messages “glitch” pisses customers off but fraudulently shows stockholders how many times times the app is being used. Shame. Been going on for months now. Fix it.
  17. [R86] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US How is this free?!: I recently got back into working out and didn’t want to pay for something in case I didn’t stick to it. NTC makes it so easy. They have programs you can follow and coach led classes. You can do little to no equipment or a full gym. They have yoga, endurance, and strength. NTC also has levels of experience making classes easy to chose and filter to pick what’s best for you. Love
  18. [R110] Nike Training Club 5/5 · US Its free so its good for me: Yall go ahead and hit that download button
  19. [R5] Nike 5/5 · US iPad App Version: Needs a version that fits iPad screen otherwise great app
  20. [R39] Nike 3/5 · GB Needs support on IPad: App needs to be on iPad I have used this for a while now and is getting harder and harder to use. Please make the app usable on iPad Thanks
  21. [R67] Nike Training Club 1/5 · US Has no landscape format on IPad, Languages switch incorrectly: It used to display landscape on IPad but not anymore with the app updates. Also Unable to switch the Audio Track to English when the original audio is Spanish. The Audio track shows as ‘English’ when the video is playing in Spanish and no options to switch.
  22. [R81] Nike Training Club 3/5 · US Bring back the iPad version!: Having this variety of workouts has had a massive impact in my ability to keep playing soccer, work without getting injured, and stay positive. I just wish they’d kept the sorting of workouts by muscle group and the iPad version!
  23. [R28] Nike 1/5 · US Doesn't send the verification code: I've tried numerous of time to send a verification code to my email and the app does not send it to my email. I've tried several times time and time again. This app is extremely flawed and needs to be fixed. This isn't the first time this has happened to me and my account.
  24. [R47] Nike 5/5 · US No me dio mi código: No entendí por qué no me llega el código, mal fallo ?
