  • Everything requires a pay wall

    I downloaded this app as a un flexible person, and hoping to get some free easy to use workouts. Hoping that some of it would be free and not behind a pay wall, but the entire app except the five minute each morning. however, 99% of this app requires a pay wall and unless you’re willing to buy it, the app is useless.
  • Awesome!!!!

  • Who needs this app?

    I thought I did. That’s why I downloaded it and knowing it would take me a while to actually use it, I subscribed for a year. But who really needs this app? The beginner (me) is missing videos, because some of the descriptions of the exercises are not clear and the pictogram is too small to make out the details. And advanced or experienced yoga user knows all this and therefore doesn’t need an app. My ideal beginner mode would show an exercise as a video prior to the timer starting, and then in advanced mode, you can just go through your training plan. I would also suggest a chime countdown before the exercise starts, so you can get ready, potentially with (optional) cool down period between the exercises. Overall not bad, but needs improvement.
  • How do I get a refund?

    I purchased this app and it is not what I expected or is use to. I would like to cancel and refund - I paid for the annual membership and don’t mind being charged for a month since I used it for a few days. Thanks.
  • Has the potential to be great

    This app, like many of the fitness/body wellness apps, has a solid foundation of having different programs that meet different needs — targeting certain body areas, time frames, etc., but there’s no guidance. For example, when you set up the app, it asks you a variety of questions to learn about you. But it doesn’t really structure a program tailored to you, where you currently are at in your wellness journey, or your needs. You click beginner, but in all of the programs you have five seconds to transition into the next pose/stretch with no auditory or visual guidance as to how to properly do that. It’ll give you five seconds to go from a back bending pose to a lunge pose. That doesn’t make sense nor is it healthy. They have a little button you can click on to read how to properly do a pose but you’d have to stop the timer so you can read without wasting the time you’re given to do the pose. That’s not effective, and one of the reasons I wouldn’t pay for this app. For beginners, and all levels really, it’s more efficient to be guided in a visual and auditory manner. That makes it more inclusive, mindful, effective and unique.
  • Good but…

    I enjoy the app but why do you have to have almost everything locked if it’s an app to stretch let at least a bit more things be free
