Verdict: which one has fewer problems?
Across the latest 1,100 App Store reviews we collected, Nike Run Club has the lowest share of reviews with a complaint (50%) and Fitbit the highest (88%). The biggest single difference is in UX / design complaints: 39% of Fitbit reviews mention them, vs 2% for Nike Run Club. Each app's own biggest complaint theme: Strava, bugs (198 reviews); Nike Run Club, bugs (144 reviews); Fitbit, bugs (194 reviews). Average star rating in the samples ranges from 1.65★ (Fitbit) to 3.23★ (Nike Run Club). Time span of each sample: Strava 501 days (2025-06-06 to 2026-10-19); Nike Run Club 282 days (2026-01-13 to 2026-10-21); Fitbit 58 days (2026-08-26 to 2026-10-22). Because Fitbit's sample covers a much shorter period, a single recent update or outage weighs more heavily in its numbers. Samples that reach back many months (fewer reviews per day) show long-running issues rather than the effect of one recent update.
