Where is the Nike iPod built in app on iOS 9???

yes!!!!! i want my app back!!! its the only one that really knows whats going on! all the others seem to miss calculate my runs and are always behind or way ahead! bring back nike+ipod!

Download the Nike+ Running app from the App Store.

It's not available from the app store b/c it is a built in app. You just turn it off and on in settings.

Ditto! I want it back too for all the same reasons mentioned here. Why is Apple always taking something good away and trying to force is to use technology the way they see it. I'm seriously considering downgrading. I'm glad I found it right after I upgraded so that downgrading won't be so painful.

I understand that. That's why I said download the Nike+ Running app. It is the standalone version. It's all the Nike currently makes available.

My God... I feel so used... I bought the sensor just a few months ago, now I update to iOS 9 and the app is gone... It's like I've totally wasted 20 bucks. I really don't like this. I guess if Apple does nothing about it I will have to downgrade my device to the previous version but that's totally absurd... I mean, I as a costumer should not have a reason to do something like that... I mean, come on, it's not a 15 year old thing, is it really necessary to just remove the app like that?

OMG!!!!! The sky is falling!!!!!! Seriously, though. Nike stopped supporting the sensor as phones now have built in accelerometers. The app hasn't been installed on phones since the iPhone 5 or maybe 5S. Apple can't sell what Nike doesn't offer. The Nike+ Running app woks just as badly, er, "well" as the built in version with the sensor.

If you prefer a foot pod to the phone accelerometer. Polar makes a very good foot pod that works with the Polar Flow app. Another really great app is iSmoothRun. It uses both GPS and the accelerometer if the GPS signal isn't good enough.

Where? I can't find anything in my settings bout turning anything on!!! I'm completely lost! I downloaded Nike+ running app but still don't see anything to turn on my sensor

I really appreciate your sense of humor, nice sarcasm, I'm laughing like never before. Seriously, though. The point is I have a useless $20 thing in my hand. I don't want to discard it or sell it to someone who then won't be able to use it. I want to do what I was thinking of when I bought it: run with it on my shoe. I'm the client here, the one who provides the money. My choices should always be respected when I paid for them in the first place.

Downloading the Running App is not the solution; It is just another way of saying "throw your sensor away, it's useless".

Technology moves on. I doubt there was anything in the agreement of sale that said the sensor would work forever, that Nike would support it forever. In fact, Nike stopped supporting them about 2 years ago, if I recall correctly. Even the Nano doesn't use the sensor anymore.

Take the sensor back to the Apple Store and see if they will take it back. Or, see if you can find an older Nano that still supports the sensor. They can probably be had for cheap.

You're right, I'll try both of those things. I'm still a bit disappointed though, but whatever, there's no much more I can do now.

Thank you Apple!

All my unsynced training was gone!

Next time try to warn all users!

I agree...this is very frustrating! I do not use a sensor, but my $2000 treadmill has a feature that records workouts to the nike+ iPod built-in app by plugging an iPod directly into the treadmill. I upgraded to an iPhone 6, but kept my iPhone 4S because the treadmill only supports an iPod/iPhone with a 30 pin connector. Even if a converter would have worked (which I was told by the treadmill company it would not because the software in the newer phones wasn't compatible with the treadmill), the iPhone 6 never had the nike+ iPod built-in anyway. Now, when I run on the treadmill, I will have to manually enter my data into the nike+ running app which is pretty much useless because it doesn't show my pace throughout my workouts. At least with the built-in app, it showed a diagram of my workout. Now it's just a straight line. Totally useless!

I am so disappointed that this app has been removed. I have recently bought a pair of trainers to specifically take the Nike+ sensor. I am using an iPod touch 5th generation in conjunction with my sensor. The Nike running app is not a patch on using the sensor as the iPod relies on wifi to get a signal to boost the GPS so is no longer accurate. On top of all that, runs are only measured in Km now. With the Nike+ app distances could be measured in miles. How hard is it to leave things alone? Updates for no reason and they change the features which are used and liked.poor show Apple. Poor show! Not only have I now got a redundant sensor I now have trainers which are not fulfilling the purpose for which they were intended just because you removed an app that wasn't causing any problem. I hope someone from Apple reads this feed and can actually shed light on this matter. Maybe one day I may have a good word to say about Apple but it certainly isn't today!

The Nike+ Running app that's available as a standalone app most certainly measures runs in miles if you chose.

No, they don't. However, the reason that the built in feature is no longer available is that Nike stopped supporting the sensor over a year ago.
