This is a good app for beginners yoga, but there are some issues I have with it. It has trouble when you play your own music from a different app, sometimes causing bizarre static noise or the ‘instructor’ not speaking at all. On occasion, the instructor voice will be so quiet, and if I turn up the music, it’s like the instructor voice stays the same level while just the music noise goes up. This causes me to stay too long in poses and get off track. The time the app gives you to get ready for the next pose is 30 seconds, which is way too long, but no matter how low I adjust it in the app settings, it defaults back to 30 seconds in the routines. I also am irritated with the recent updates, in which yoga for abs was removed entirely, and there is now a loud bell ringing sound when a pose is completed, instead of the instructor voice calmly saying “rest”. I find this bell noise to be very jarring and disruptive to my routine, and find I now cannot focus while doing yoga.

I love the layout of the app and how the routines are labeled as beginner, intermediate and advanced. I LOVE that there is a video explanation of each pose easily accessible both before the workout and after. My main problem with the couple of routines that I’ve done is a lack of repetition and logical progression/ flow. For example, in the beginner Yoga for Abs, the explanation of cobra pose says you should start in downward facing dog, move through plank, push up to cobra, hold, then reverse the flow back to downward facing dog. However, downward facing dog is not part of the actual routine. Likewise, the extended side angle pose is meant to develop from Warrior 2, but there’s no warrior progression. There were also a couple of occurrences that I went from hands and knees, then to my back, then back to hands and knees. It would flow better to do all the exercises in one position (standing, sitting, hands and knees, laying down) before changing. I would love to see more routines built around specific flows— I haven’t done the sun salutation flow, but it looks a little more like the yoga classes I’ve been to.

I downloaded this app a while ago. First, I was looking for a way to exercise, but in a way that I’m not sweating, and running. So, I checked the App Store to see what they offer for yoga apps. I tried literally every single one of the yoga apps, and this one is the one I liked best. One of the things I was concerned about is this app has an animated person to show you which pose to do, and the animated person doesn’t even have an actual face! Basically all of the other apps out there have real people as your personal trainers. Also, I would enjoy if this app gave you more time to settle down between poses. Like, it gives me 10 seconds to 1., get out of my previous pose, and 2., get into the current pose! I mean, doesn’t that take AT LEAST 10 seconds?! Anyways, now to the positive things. I love how this app shows you how much calories you’re burning (or gaining I’m young so IDK) and it shows you how long it is, and it even has a name for the workout! I just completed another workout today that was intermediate, 30 minutes long, and burns/gains 111 calories! I feel like a strong and healthy girl due to this app, and I will be using it in the future!
