Is it just me not getting the update or there are more people that didn't get the update on their phone? Mine is a Google play edition.
I installed an app called PERCENT ENABLER and I'm worried if that is the problem? Any help would be welcomed

There is no Nexus 5 Google Play Edition.. Only the Nexus 5. If you haven't gotten the update yet and are completely stock (not rooted) you can side load the update via adb through your PC. You won't lose and data and it will be exactly like doing the update via OTA. Head over to androidpolice.com where they have the update file and instructions on how to do it. Its really easy

If you are running a custom recovery then you may (thanks marleyfan61) get the OTA update notification but as jdawg0024 said you can always side load it if you wish.

You can get the factory images for you Nexus 5 from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=de#hammerhead.

However, do NOT use the flash-all (.bat for Windows & .sh for Mac/Linux) files to load it without a backup as it will wipe all apps and data, provided your bootloader is unlocked (correct me if I am wrong about this last part).

Percent Enabler doesn't even require root and will not stop you from receiving a system update as I have updated and also use a percent enabler.

If you're on stock the message would appear anyways, only the installation might later fail if you had modified system files.

ie. you simply haven't recieved it yet. Patience, grasshopper. :laugh:

    Not true. I'm running TWRP and I got the notification. It allowed me to download it but installation failed.
