Nike+ Running update adds elevation tracking, Health app integration



Nike has updated its Nike+ Running app with more features to help you better track your runs. The app, now in version 4.6, adds elevation tracking, Health app integration, an updated home screen experience, and enhanced heart rate support for Wahoo's Tickr products. The app is also optimized for the larger displays of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus


Here's the full change log:



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.


ELEVATION TRACKING


Elevate Your Run


Nike+ Running is now optimized for elevation tracking for iPhone 6 devices. Accuracy may be variable for iPhone 5s and earlier devices


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.
