The Nike+ Running app has been updated with elevation tracking, design enhancements, Apple Health integration, and enhanced heart rate monitor support.
The Nike+ Running App tracks your runs and helps you reach your goals -- whether it’s running your first race, or setting a new personal record. From first-time runners to marathon veterans, you'll get the measurement and motivation you need to run farther and faster than ever before. Welcome to the world’s greatest running community.
GUIDANCE AND TRAINING Whether you’re looking to take on your first 5K or smash your marathon PR, Nike+ Coach gives you training programs, coaching expertise and daily workouts to get you race ready.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Stay on track, no matter where you are. On the trail, treadmill, or streets, your iPhone’s GPS and accelerometer accurately track your distance, pace and time. You can also track your metrics at every mile with in-run audio feedback.
STAY MOTIVATED Share your runs and let your friends keep you going with cheers along the way. Show off your Nike+ level color and amp things up with a PowerSong at the press of a button.
COMPARE AND COMPETE Nothing's as motivating as a little friendly competition. Compete with your friends for the top leaderboard spot, or go toe-to-toe against them in a Nike+ Challenge. Just set a distance. Invite your friends. And race to the finish.
CAPTURE THE MOMENT Show off your run with a thousand words. Take photos before, during and after your run. Customize them with your route, metrics, and of course, a swoosh.
APPLE HEALTH Connected for Health By accessing your Apple Health data, Nike+ can give you even more detailed information about your run, including heart rate monitor support in-run when using a Bluetooth 4.0 enabled device like Wahoo’s Tickr products.
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION: ● GET MORE FROM YOUR RUN Expanded features including an updated home screen experience, adding support for elevation tracking, Apple Health integration and enhanced heart rate monitor support for devices like Wahoo's Tickr products.
● DESIGN ENHANCEMENTS Starting your run is easier than ever with the new quick start feature. Simply press and hold the “Begin Run” button and you’ll be off in 3, 2, 1! While you are in run, you can also swipe in either direction to control music, view your running stats, and your live map.

Like the new app, but heart rate still not working.. My sensor works with all other app but still shows nothing with Nike app. Anyone seeing heart rate with theirs?
I run another even several apps in the background that all capture heart rate fine but the health app still shows nothing as well as Nike, what gives? :-(
