Stamena - Longer lasting sex Reviews

by Venman18

This is a very simple app that should work if you do the exercises, however, it is not explained anywhere how the timer works... I am completely lost, sometimes it says squeeze, sometimes hold, then relax... actually the only one I think Get right!
Also, the reverse Kegel should be better explained...
Having such a simple app, very simple, and charging for it the amount I paid, you could sit down and write a little more on how they work, give examples with drawings etc...
So far, I think I lost my money.
When these points are improved, I shall update my rating.

The good: The concept and app work well. It’s well designed and has great visual and haptic cues. It truly does make a difference.
The bad: Stamena still is not updated for iOS X screen dimensions. Some issue surfaced to where I was no longer receiving alerts from this particular app. Support contact info is non-existent on the support page listed in Stamena Store. After guessing at an email address I heard back from the developer a few times before communication fell off.
Ultimately the reinstall resolved the issue however I’m not paying to restore what levels I had access to having also paid for Stamena itself.
Resolve the bugs/support issues or allow cloud based storage of level data and this would be 5 stars all day long.

Good app for practicing kegels, and setting reminders. I’ve only just started using it. But I’m not seeing any instructions on how frequently we should be practicing.
If this is something guys are new to, it would be nice to lay out some sort of a schedule they should follow. I’m only seeing the option to set 3 reminders myself.
It would be so easy to add in daily challenges to complete. Like “Day 1 Complete” after doing your exercise for the day. Or at least putting in the instructions how many times we should be exercising. Thanks

I’m pretty sure reverse kegels don’t actually strengthen your pelvic floor. According to many studies and Michelle Kenway they are only used for relaxing the muscle, not strengthening it. I appreciate them being in each workout however I feel like there are to many. It’s half and half instead of something more reasonable like 5 to 1 or 4 to 1. To make up for a shorter workout add in some more normal Kegel squeezes. If there were less reverse kegels it would definitely bump my rating up to a 5.

Stamena is ok. It gets the job done by giving you reminders to do your kegels and facilitating the workouts.

Issues:

Reminder is not discrete and there is no option to make it discrete.

The audio cue does not work unless your ringer is turned on. For me, this is a problem because I typically keep my ringer off because, if I don’t, I’ll forgot to turn it off when I need to. So I have no way of following the workouts unless I’m looking at my phone the whole time. Also, I can’t use the vibration cue because my phone vibrates function is faulty.

There isn’t much to Stamena other than the most basic of features you might expect.

No problems or bugs will be fixed by the developer as there has been no update to Stamena in over 3 years now.

I like Stamena and it does push you to do a good workout. But I still have no idea if I am doing the reverse kegel correctly. The instructions say just keep pushing and you will figure it out. I’m sorry but that’s not good enough. I understand that this is one of those exercises that seems hard to explain but maybe some sort of chart that shows the muscles that the reverse kegel targets would help. A more concrete definition is needed.

I like Stamena . The reminders are a huge help. The problem is, at about 65 point, the reminders stopped actually reminding me. As a result, I kept forgetting the exercises.....then I started getting reminders again.....but only that I was losing points because I wasn’t being consistent. Five stars if the reminders worked without fail.

by Hankerbanker

Set up, process etc is simple clear and following the simple protocol had already giving great results.
I’m had an issue, not sure if it’s my phone or Stamena ... at level 12 the needed points for the next level stopped showing up, and then shortly after that the count down rep numbers stopped showing. So I erased Stamena and downloaded again. Now it seems I have to work through all the levels I already went through. I had paid the extra amount to unlock ‘god level’ when I first downloaded but didn’t seem to transfer to the current situation. That’s a bummer... it’s only a small mental game but i was enjoying seeing my progress and starting over isn’t fun. As long as this download doesn’t glitch on me I’ll say Stamena is awesome.

Great app, just wish it kept a history of what was done. Sometimes I can remember if I did the last session. When you first start it is easy to tell just by counting your points but after a while you have no idea what your last session was or next session should be.

by Smartucus86

Stamena is great. I especially like the way it encourages me to continue through a reward system. Ignore Stamena reminders for too long and it reduces you a level. Great motivator!
Only think that keeps it from 5 stars is that the timing between exercise sets is odd. Starts out with ready, set, go and you have no idea what you're doing. The has relax cycle at end of each set followed by another pause explaining what's coming next. Seems more intuitive that the beginning of every set introduces set (especially first set) then drop the relax at end of set and just intro next set. The current timing just throws off a rhythm rather than flow. It's awkward but minor. I think Stamena is very useful.

This is a great app pretty much exactly what I was looking for... there are two features I would like to request:

1. Be able to customize the notification reminders more. I would like to change what it says when it notifies me and also be able to modify the days of the week it alerts me. For example I want it to remind me at a certain time only on M-F, and not on the weekends.

2. We are always given a point for "doing" the exercises... but the program doesn't know if we were successful or not. I wish it would ask me at the end of every session if I was able to complete all reps successfully. If I was, I would like the point. If I could not, I would like to not be awarded the point to stay at the same number of points till I can complete that session.

Unless I can think of more, those are about the 2 easy fixes that are preventing me from rating this a 5 star app and I've been using it for over a week. Worth checking out and I hope they keep updating it!

Please add dark mode. Some of us would like to do our workout at night without scalding our retinas.

Please add more recommendations about how often to train. Multiple times a day? How much rest time? Should I take a day off after some hard kegeling?

Of course I can google for all this, but it would be nice to have more info in Stamena .

Lastly, when the timer shows one more rep, when that last rep is rest, it seems confusing. Maybe it should say zero more are that point. Just a thought. Or give an option for this.

A vibration-based mode that works in the background would be nice as well, or a voice prompt based mode, either of which could be done when you can’t easily look at the screen. This could even be an IAP if you wanted to monetize a bit more.

If you’re having trouble figuring out how to do a reverse kegel, pay attention to what happens down there when you see an extremely hot woman in public. Especially if you’ve been practicing NoFap and/or semen retention for more than a few days, you’ll feel your pelvic floor do an involuntary reverse kegel when you get aroused. And the reverse kegels are even more important than the regular one in my opinion, as I’ve noticed that those are what I use during sex to make sure I don’t pushed over the edge to orgasm.

The reverse kegels took me a while to figure out, so I wish they had included that tip in Stamena . But Stamena is overall amazing! Highly recommend. I thought practicing NoFap would lead to premature ejaculation, but after using this app I can last for longer than ever!

Just started using Stamena but I love it so far. It makes it so much easier to be consistent in training. With the option to set your reminder times and points to encourage to be consistent , I find it way easier knock them out rather then dread training because I don’t know what I’m doing.

this app, while cheap, is probably the best investments I’ve made as a 20 year old. There isn’t another app that does a better job than this one. It’s interface is clean, simple, and straightforward. You could argue that more could be added, but it’s just not necessary. I’ve only reached level 9 as of this past week, but with 25 levels, and an increasing difficulty, it will take you a while to make it to that point. At level 9 I can already tell a significant difference in my kegal muscle’s strength. It a more prominent feeling both internally, and if i press against it. Small muscles grow faster so don’t get discouraged before you reach level 8 (when I first starting noticing a difference). I highly recommend researching more into seman retention as a way to last longer in bed. It will change your life. It’s definitely changed mine lol.

I use Stamena just before I go to the gym and I've noticed it helps me keep my core fully activated, because the pelvic floor has been warmed up. It allows for a lot more exercise while still feeling grounded. The way the workouts are organized is also amazing, it keeps you motivated and doesn't let you have those long periods where you forget to do kegel exercises. Easy 5/5

by Rahh Dogg

I just wish the rests were longer, because I heard it’s not good to tighten too much more than you rest. Some Taoist even recommend that they should always be balanced equally - so if you tighten for 10 secs, you rest for 10. The cool thing about Stamena is there’s a pause button. So I usually pause for a few seconds after each rep. Still this app is a very nice app for your PC muscles. You just need to do it like twice a day to stay toned.

I’ve been doing Kegels on an off for about 10 years. I’ve always struggled with 2 things, gradual increase and timing my reps. The point system in Stamena increase your reps and hold times for you so that you don’t have to try to track your progression manually and the timer with the vibration/sound bell gives me the ability to do the kegels while driving.

by Wcwl19

I love Stamena I have been doing it for a week and already can tell a difference. I love the progression and how you feel yourself getting stronger!

Only down side it I went ahead and bought God Mode and I don’t know if it will allow me to progress like I have or if I will have to bump up my levels myself.

Love Stamena though even allows me to do it at work subtly and get my mind off the craziness for a minute.

Edit: Everything is a-okay now, all issues pointed below are now fixed, thanks Nate!!

Good app; nice clean interface; good progressive routine for kegels (regular and reverse). People, you can only access the rest of the levels (beyond level 1) after you get enough points from practice to unlock them. After level 5 you'll have to buy the in-app upgrade; but still, you'll need to unlock those levels with practice points; it doesn't matter if you paid or not, you need the practice points. This is something that is not clear in Stamena itself and the developer should've included an explanation. Right know the in-app purchase is disabled. Nate and Alex, please fix this!! I'll give Stamena 5 stars when you do.

by Interstellar63

Really love the simplicity and engagement of Stamena , points degrade if your not consistent and everything else flows smoothly. Something that I would love to see in Stamena is like a calendar showing your engagements through the weeks, months etc. Thanking the developers for a splendid app. Wholeness

by Zanderws

Just started but is exactly what I wanted. Nice visual display, better than i expected. Progressively builds you up. Can upgrade and skip ahead for 1.99 which seems reasonable. Quality app so far. Easy to set reminds and change settings.
