Nike+ Move enters the App Store
The new Nike+ Move app was first announced as a part of Apple’s September 10 media event, yes you remembered correctly the same one where Apple announced the new iPhone 5s and its M7 motion coprocessor.
When Nike introduced the app it was one of the first apps to use the new CoreMotion APIs in iOS 7 in order to track the movement of the users more accurately, the app then displays the activity as NikeFuel, the same system used for Nike’s FuelBand.
According to the iTunes App Page:
Nike+ Move is the simplest way to capture your every move, and motivate you to move more!
Exclusively for use with iPhone 5S, Nike+ Move uses the M7 coprocessor to convert your movement into NikeFuel, the first-ever single, universal unit for measuring all kinds of activities. No matter your age, weight or gender, the same activity earns you the same amount of NikeFuel.
Nike+ Move offers insight into when you move, how you move and where you move – and lets you challenge your friends to see who moves more.
Other features include:
- Win the day by beating your NikeFuel average and watch your goal ring change from Red to Green.
- See when you are most active throughout the day and how you’re doing compared to yesterday.
- Move more often and win as many hours as you can throughout the day.
- See how you moved through the day with a breakdown of running, walking, and other movement.
- See where you’re moving and where you move the most each day.
- Check out how you compare against your Game Center friends or other Nike+ Move users near you.
- Note: iPhone 5S is required to get motivated with Nike+ Move.
Nike+ Move is available for free on the iPhone 5s.
