Reader Reviews : User Reviews: Apple 6th Generation iPod nano

User Rating 3 Star Rating (42 Reviews)

The 6th generation iPod nano is polarizing. Some people love its tiny size and multitouch screen. Others dislike it for the same reason - they preferred the clickwheel offered on earlier models and don't see the need for the touchscreen. Read on to see where actual 6th generation nano owners stand on these issues.

Good, but not good

The first thing I'd like to point out is that it's small, which means it's a great portable music device. Sadly, after about six months, one of the button that controls the volume broke; it just woul…More

Potential replacement for a running watch

I see potential for this as a replacement for a running watch. The Nike+ software, a compatible chest strap, and Nike footpod put this at a very respectable combo compared to similarly equipped runni…More

"I love this device."

I love this device. I work in an office where you can't stream music or any entertainment from the web. This inexpensive iPod nano fills the bill. It's smarter than a generic MP3 player, but doesn't …More

"I just want my old one back!!!"

Apple sucks. I sent in my old 1st gen. iPod nano (which worked fine) b/c it was recalled due to it getting too hot/causing fires. The new 6th gen. they sent me crapped out after a couple months. It g…More

"I still love it"

I bought the 6th gen. iPod nano a year or so ago and I still love it. I've read about the limited uses, but it has everything that I need and I can clip it to my shirt and not have to worry about hol…More

"It's the best watch you've ever had"

Put this nano in a TikTok or LunaTik enclosure and it's the best watch you've ever had... Also, double click the wake button to skip tracks--no need to use the screen when exercising. Add full iOS or…More

"I love my nano!"

I love my nano! I am 15 and I play soccer. It is so easy to run with because of the clip. When I see the other people on my team running with their touch in their hands, I am very glad for my nano. I…More

"Don't bother."

Don't bother.This is my second nano 6th gen and it has already failed. I ran twice with it and now I cannot see anything on the screen and it does nothing when plugged into the PC. Apple say it is wa…More

"How about being a little proactive with the consumer?"

Had the iPod for a total of 5 weeks before problems started. Initially, I was happy with the sound and downloading was easy. Nice additional workout apps. After 5 weeks, I was unable to turn the iPod…More

"I will NOT be spending the money to fix it"

I got my 6th generation nano for Christmas 2010. Not even a year later, the sleep/hold button stopped working. It was still under warranty so I sent it in to Apple and received a refurbished nano. Th…More

"Total piece of crap."

Total piece of crap. I used it maybe 10 times. I bought it to be a full time pedometer and part-time music device for gym and running. Ut functions as NEITHER!The clip is totally for show - it does n…More

"RUNNERS BEWARE!!!"

RUNNERS BEWARE!!! This model is a total waste of time! I used the thing on two runs. During my second run it shut down and would never turn back on. I took it back to the Apple Store where they told …More

"It works better as a wristwatch in theory than in practice"

I was delighted with my Nano 3g and sprung at the chance to acquire the equivalent of a miniature media center--movies and stereo speakers in a gumstick-sized iPod!--with the Nano 5g. But with the Na…More
