“Nike has updated its Nike+ Running app for iPhone with optimized support for the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus screen sizes as well as integration with Apple’s Health app for iOS 8,” Zac Hall reports for 9to5Mac.
“The new version takes full advantage of the new iPhones so text and images no longer scale up. Integration with HealthKit means the Nike+ Running app can now add NikeFuel data and workout data to the Health app that comes installed on iOS 8,” Hall reports. “In addition to adding data to the Health app, the version can now read heart rate data shared with the Health app as well. Nike says this will support devices like Wahoo’s Tickr products, but apps like Instant Heart Rate that can share data with Apple’s Health app should be compatible as well if you’re less committed to buying hardware.”
Hall reports, “The update also takes advantage of the new M8 motion coprocessor found on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. This allows Nike+ Running for iPhone to measure changes in elevation and give you credit for inclines during a workout.”

Yeah, shame after the update it crashes constantly on opening. At the moment it has no features at all, because it doesn’t work 🙁
Delete the app and reinstall. That fixed it for me…
It WILL NOT import existing Nike+ Fuel data already collected by previous versions of the Nike+ Running app…So you have to play like you just started using the Nike+ stuff and you were’t running / jogging / walking before IOS 8….
AWFUL implementation on Nike’s part…
