Reviews for Nike + iPod Sensor

The sensor link is horrible. There is no way to know that the sensor actually works. Nano and 3GS ask to walk around and I walk around. If It asked me to jump up and down and pat my belly and top of my head, I would probably do that too to see if the sensor activates. I was a sucker to buy this garbage. Nike makes a special hole to place the sensor and makes you pay for it. If it weren't for the fact that Nike shoe, I would never had thought of buying the ipod sensor. Save your money.

I've bought it 1,5 week ago. Worked out 4 times - no problem, then it just stopped working - Its no way I will buy it again - very disappointed

Used it three times and then put it to sleep as directed, because I was not going to run for three days. It never worked again.

As someone else pointed out, I'm rarely motivated to write reviews.. but when things are this bad, you feel the need to warn other people. This product is great in concept, but the sensor is inaccurate (even when you calibrate it) and the battery life is pathetic.

I have had THREE in the last year and they have each only lasted a month or two. I thought it was me.. but apparently it's just a poorly made product. For $20 (plus $10 for the holster), you would expect this to last at least 18 months.. not 2.

NIke - if you're reading this, you should be embarrassed at the poor quality of this product. Step it up and stop wasting our money.

I had the same problem what I have seen others post...used few times, had it for over a year and suddenly the sensor does not work. It was frustrating and it took me a while to figure out why it is not working. Battery is dead. Why battery can not be replaced? This is not practical. Another scheme to have you spend few more bucks every year.

It worked for one run but then stopped. The calories burned didnt add up on the iphone and distance didnt add up as well. I went through 5 of these returning to apple each time. I thought it was the stock they had so I went to another place and didnt work, returned again and next one didnt work. Then I went to apple store to check the iphone, it was all ok. I used another ipod mini that it would work with, that didnt work. People on the Nike+ forums were adiment it worked but after going back and forth the only benefit of the device was that each time I went there to replace I got exercized along the way. If it doesnt work after a few times then just dont worry with it, download any of the free apps that will do similar.

I really need what the Nike+ is SUPPOSED to do. Unfortunately, it is a useless piece of plastic destined for the landfill. I used mile markers on a local trail, turned around and re-walked the exact same route - the sensor registered 0.8 one way, 1.1 the other (yes, I had calibrated at exactly the same place previously). Then walked five more miles - it only recorded 1.7. Useless.

Also, the Nike+ site doesn't let you correct the sensor's mistakes. The mapping part of the site only works on occasion, not reliably (other walking map sites are far easier, so it's not user error). Site support and instructions from Nike are sketchy and don't seem to have been updated in a long time.

I have bought 2 of the sensors for the shoe and both times they didn't work right out of the package. Its kinda like a crapshoot whether or not they work. I think it is a great concept but they need to address this inefficiency in order to have confidence int he product. Please fix it 'cause I love to use it (when it works)

I called and asked and was told you can, but you can't use it with the newer model. So I wasted money shipping it, now I have to ship it back.
