You have it synced in with your watch?

If you haven't used it in a while, you gotta resync

Are you starting your runs on the watch or on your phone?

Are you starting your runs on the watch or on your phone?

I was using it as a standalone and with watch.

But even when I leave watch at home... I open app, hit start run....it does the count down and the takes me to the screen that would show distance yet it stays at 0.0 and never moves.... when I end run... it then gives full detail including distance. Its weird... during my run nothing shows... it used to show my distance and then when I hit a mile mark... it would announce it... now it simply stays a zero the whole run

When in doubt see if the app has an update and/or reinstall it...

And I always use the watch and then have it transfer into the app...

The phone can be inaccurate as far as your times go...

breh if you’re gonna use your phone as your run GPS “device,” just use Strava instead.

But ultimately you’re better off buying a Garmin Forerunner watch and using the Garmin Connect app. Better GPS (Garmin has their own satellites), Garmin Connect (the app and website) gives you much better insights into your data and you can still sync it to Nike, Strava etc.

I use a Garmin watch daily and it’s the way to go. Spend the $.

Nike run club app should be your third option just to sync your stuff to, do challenges and get discounts on merch

Garmin Connect (desktop and web app) should be your primary app. Strava is for the social stuff and it does a good job with little things like tracking your shoe mileage (which is important).

I use Strava premium but I don’t think it’s worth the $. It could be a much better app for the price and Strava is in a space with no real competition. Garmin knows they will get your $ once you buy a watch but a redesign Garmin Connect app would demolish Strava
