Removed Nike+ from my Series 2 just this morning after it crashed and would not restart at the end of my run. Also seems more sluggish going between screens. Buh bye.  Back to Apple Workout app - so much more reliable.

Yup have to agree, the Nike app is crap. I like the watch faces and since they are the same price I just get one and remove the app. Also love the bands.

Maybe it's iOS4 that could be the issue? I also have the Nike Series 2 black/volt but still using iOS 3.2.2. and have no issues. That's one of the reasons I haven't updated. Why mess up a good thing? Also, I don't like that Apple took out the iPhone music library.

I'm in the same boat. I've had no problems with the Nike app on my Series 2 Black/ Volt watch. It's on watchOS 3 as well.
