Light: Lazy Yoga Reviews

by SkyPrincesa

Light said that you could try it for 7 days for free. I was charged the 19.99. I canceled it within a few minutes of figuring out it wasn’t for me. It said I can still use it until Dec 09! I should have gotten a refund. I’ll be disputing the charge on my credit card as fraud!

I wrote a really long review, but I can’t find it anywhere. I have been trying to contact customer service with no luck. It gives you meal suggestions, but does not give you shopping list, or a way to see meals in advance, so there is no way to prepare for meals. I have been using JustFit without realizing Light is from the same app developer, so I am paying for double the exercises with no way to cancel. Between the two I have spent $150 for basically nothing it’s interesting that customer service replies to random reviews but cannot answer an email. I usually read reviews before I buy an app, I’m upset I didn’t read the other reviews on this one first or I would have never signed up. I see the same complaints. I am having - they do not use your answers to the questionnaire so why bother doing it, there’s no way to plan for meals, and the exercises are repetitive. I feel like a sucker for paying for this!

I currently do calorie counting through Light called ‘Lose It!’ It’s a wonderful app, Light lose it tells me I’ll reach my goal weight in 2024 . Light did not, I got this the beginning of December 2022 and it said I would lose over 100lbs by the beginning of march, day 1 it instructed me to eat only 350 calories for the whole day and do extreme exercise the rest of the day. As someone who in my teen year struggled with anorexia and other eating disorders and then turning to food for comfort this not a good way to lose weight for me. My weight and body image of myself is really hard for my mental health had I been in a bad mental state downloading it , it would not have been good, I feel like Light is promoting anorexia and it’s disgusting, you can lose weight as long as you eat food in moderation.

There is no way to cancel the auto renewal because there is no option under the subscription area of the iPhone. Can’t get any support from Light creator. I’ve seen another review that the developers responded to saying you can cancel the ought the subscription area of the phone but there is no option to cancel there is only 3 different options to subscribe and the pay rate. Don’t get sucked in like I did and am trying to get out of. Do not trust this developer because they are doing nothing to resolve this issue and just send you to Apple support to figure it out. In the meantime they get paid for the renewal and put no effort in to help with stopping the problem that more then just I have with their failure to help their customers.

by DeadlySweetEyes

I’m really disappointed with the workout type selected. I opted for chair workout since for the time being my left foot is hurting and I can’t jump. Guess what from the get go the first workout was jumping. Sorry to say but your algorithm doesn’t work and Light doesn’t provide a manual way for the user to get rid of the workouts you can’t do. I would have been more then happy to pay the almost $80 for a year, if it would have worked. The design is pretty cool, but the actual management of the content for specific physical conditions needs programming improvement.

by Donna1812

Even though the Terms of Agreement state that you can stop the auto-renewal billing from within your Settings, you will find that there’s absolutely nothing in your Settings to turn off automatic billing for subsequent periods.

I wanted to try Light out for just a month before committing to a longer period, but see (from my Apple Pay receipt) that it’s set for automatic renewal. There doesn’t seem to be a way to allow me to turn this auto-pay feature off. (I will be disputing this from my billing next month.)

Developers, when you respond, please don’t just say you’re working on this. Respond with how to turn the auto-renewal billing off.

by Another.one

I got it because it said it was free… then it wasn’t. It’s a subscription. Price when paying by 3 month or the whole year isn’t bad, however… there is no ability to meal plan for the week. You can see the groceries needed for their proposed plans, but am unable to see them for the week. I don’t live a lifestyle that allows me to go shopping daily for what I need… and this doesn’t let me swap out meals for the week… I am on a tight budget but want to work on my body for health… this just won’t cut it. Exercises look good, just not a feasible app… wish I could get my money back… 😭😭😭

by Indianoaks

Light doesn’t have ‘in-app purchases’ - you have to BUY IT to see ANYTHING! After answering a million questions, BEFORE it shows you anything, you have to pick a plan to purchase (month by month, annual, etc) - and authorize payment. So there truly is NOT a ‘free 7-day trial’ - and per other reviews it’s about impossible to cancel. I would have happily paid a fee IF I knew it was something that would work for me - that I’d be capable of doing - which I figured I could decide on - after the ‘free trial’ but I won’t commit to a charge before I have a chance to even find out!?!

Totally dishonest advertising and portrayal of Light in my opinion. Esp since I don’t even know if once a person commits, are there OTHER charges that are what I’d truly consider ‘in app purchases’?? Very disappointing and surprising that Apple allows this type of deception in their App Store…

by Egypt93

I don’t think I’m gonna give this a great review because I’m trying to cancel the membership so far I signed up like two weeks ago. I think I use Light once so it’s really not benefiting me right now but there’s no way to call and cancel the membership and on Light like through app services when you read about it it just gives you an email but it tells you go to settings but there’s no settings in Light so it’s like they don’t want you to to delete it they don’t give you any way to get in touch with them to delete the account so I will report them to the Better Business Bureau if they don’t provide a customer service number not just an email so far I have not received any email back from them which leads me to believe that they’re going to charge me once the first three first month is over and I don’t want that I don’t want to be with a company that I can’t get in touch with

by Lunatic41

I downloaded Light to do the 7 day free trial. But decided I DID NOT wish to continue with a paid version. Yesterday I went into Apple settings on my phone and cancelled. This was a full 5 days before the 7 day free trial was over. The cancellation process showed it was successful. Then this morning I received an email from Apple confirming my purchase?!?! Now my subscription in settings says it will auto renew next year.
BEWARE: watch your app billings this company is straight up scamming for dollars.

by Kmegamom

All the come on ads said this is a FREE program, but it is NOT FREE!! It says 7 day free trial and pay nothing now but you have to verify purchase data!! It has two options, one is unlimited time for one rate, which it lists a per month price, then there’s a monthly subscription and lists a higher monthly cost. What it does not tell you is how much you will be charged. For the unlimited do you get charged for a full year? If it’s a 28 day program why isn’t there a 28 day subscription. There’s also no place in Light to send questions to the game people. I’m sure it’s a good program and I’d really like to try it, possibly even subscribe, but certainly not without answers.

by It'sbarbara

I signed up thinking that I got a 7 day trial. Not so. I’m signed up for a year. I wanted to try severa apps and chose the best. This is not it. The chair exercises are easy and I’m going to d each day. I went to the alternate exercises and many are not clear as to how they should be done. Not only that, it doesn’t give you time t change positions when needed for the next exercise. I have to do each days routine several times to be sure that I’m getting a decent workout. Since it is not fit 28 days, I guess you are to repeat these days. Guess I’ll find out. Wouldn’t recommend joining.

by Julietoolie

This seemed like it was going to be a good app. It wasn’t too expensive, so I bought it. You can’t do anything on it but follow a daily routine, which is fine, but I can’t find a place to cancel it or contact them outside of Apple email, which I don’t use. The developers really don’t want to be contacted, otherwise they would have to respond.

by Dunjan

I tried 3 times to change workout to chair only. Have to delete app to change. Never was able to do get chair only. In fact was given floor or standing right off??????
Meal plans don’t take into account allergies or that I am intermittent faster. Started right off with Avocado toast. Allergic to avocado, I can eat GF bread but I DONT EAT BREAKFAST.
Glad I cancelled.

by Quiggybo73

I have tried to cancel this 30 day membership about 30 seconds after I accidentally bought it. Contacted the customer service-no response. so I ended up paying for a 30 day membership and never used it. I’m trying to find out if I’m being charged for second 30 day membership even though I canceled. But I still haven’t heard from customer service. Not impressed.

by A Warrie

I’ve had this this app app for two weeks to test it out before a yearly purchase and this is what I have found. Three little workouts per day, 3 minutes each, no abdomen/core exercise included, Limited to the exact Same little exercises each day. Very boring! No diet or meal plan to be found. Only one food suggestion per day. The same four food no-no’s per day. The ability to add steps and change my weight, etc is not easy to manage. I don’t like the 3 to 5 hour fasting each day. I am hypoglycemic and not a fasting person and believe that in order to keep your metabolism strong you need three smartly portioned healthy meals and two small healthy snacks per day. Before paying $70 per year for Light check out FitOn and Nike Training Club.

What/why is there no meal plan? What am I a grocery store that I have everything in stock for the daily meal. And what is it with this daily fasting in the middle of a work day? I can do fasting but while I’m sleeping. My job is too strenuous, I need nutrition to make it through a work shift. I haven’t started day one, just downloaded it but now I’m not sure.

Update: Day 14 - Meal plans nonexistent. Some meals look/sound delicious but I can’t plan as I don’t have most ingredients on hand. As for the fasting I look ahead what is planned/suggested for my next meal. If I see fasting for 5 hours I will start asap. What I mean is if my lunch break is at 1100, I will start fasting 5 hours earlier. That I can manage but going 5 hours after breakfast to another 5 hours until dinner that’s 10 hours of fasting NO WAY! The exercises may not include cardio but I will add in a few minutes on top. Doing that 3 times a day I can handle. I’m starting to feel better about myself.

by Usedtobeobsessed!

I should have read the reviews. I’ve reached out to customer support but I’ve heard nothing. I thought I was signing up for a trial and I paid for a subscription. I have food allergies and I really need to be able to look at the menu as a whole not dissected into individual meals. I also have a family to feed and I’d like to know what I should buy more of that they would eat! Over all a very weak app. Disappointed.

by Babette123456789

Use caution when downloading this program. It has no free trial, it is an instant charge!! I am now trying to cancel this subscription which is next to impossible with the routes available to you. If their is anyone from this site who reads these, will you please cancel my subscription or reach out to me, I already paid for a 3 month subscription to my chagrin and do not want to pay for another.

by BunnyONeill

Just want to let others know that Light is not really free. You have to commit for how long you want to use their weight loss plan, first, before getting to see any of the plan. I had mostly been interested in the chair exercises they advertised. After you commit, then you get a free 7 day trial. I did not commit. You would probably have to hurry up and cancel before the trial ends.

by MoiSedai

I was promised an exercise program designed for me. That’s not what I got. I have knee and hip issues that keep me from jumping or putting all my weight on my right side. At least three of the exercises in my first workout required the ability to do both. I’m not thrilled

by KCRR77

I got Light last year, 2023.
I loved it! But never got around to rating it.
The music was great, the workouts were great, the recipes and the fact you could switch recipes out was great!
I lost 50 pounds!
At the beginning of 2024, they change the music from lively, upbeat, peppy tempo, to a slow funeral dirge designed to put you to sleep. NOT good music to work out to at all.
I wrote to the developers several times, their daily nutrition quizzes note that lively, upbeat tempo music helps a workout, and I have gotten a response every time I asked about the music, that they “are working on it”.
There have been several updates, and they fix bugs, but they never fix the option to pick your own workout music like they give you the option to different recipes to fix during the day.
It would not be that hard to give us the option to pick the music from last year versus the music from this year.
I still have 50 more pounds to lose, and the workouts are just harder for me to get enthused about doing to a slow paced, slow beat tempo designed to put me to sleep.
If they Get this bug fixed, I will come back and rerate Light and update my review.
Until then, instead of a 5 star rating, it gets a 3.
I have not lost any of the 2nd 50 pounds I still need to lose yet, just hard to get into the workouts like I did last year.
Hoping they fix the music bug before my 2nd year I paid for us up and I still have pounds to lose.

by KaseyStorm

I would love to give Light a five star rating. It truly deserves it… However, I cannot do that due to the deception within Light itself! You advertise that you do weekly, monthly, three month interval and yearly subscriptions… Yet when your trial runs out, your forced to do a yearly because it will not let you do anything else, due to this fact, I will not buy a subscription! If I had an option?… Perhaps then I would’ve done that with the right discount… But because that option was completely removed from me after stating that’s what you offer in your own write up… I just can’t support that. I’m sure there are many people out there just like me who do not always use apps… I’m in the gym a great deal! But I do love being able to do Light at home when I want to do a little something extra or when I don’t have time to make it to the gym so that I can stay on track. It’s truly sad that you’ve chosen deception when it’s time to renew only allowing someone to buy the most expensive subscription that you have.! That’s extremely poor taste in my opinion and very unprofessional.

by Tygereyes97

I’m confused. I downloaded Light . To get started they ask various questions. Ur age, body shape, weight & height… and they ask you what parts of ur body you want to change, then shows u a graph of where u are now & where u want to be & it gives u ur goal date & ur goal weight achievement date. Then they ask if u aren’t happy with what u see when u look in a full length mirror. And they show a heavyset woman. Then they show a few slides of woman with captions & all captions refer to weight loss. Then they show a heavy set woman’s body transform to a thinner, curvier womans body. After giving all my info & captions acknowledging my low weight, bmi etc… and on the same graph asking me my goal weight, it’s right below the aggressive work out weight. So with alllll that info.. indicating & computing a daily work out schedule with various simple exercises & after trying to force u to buy an assortment of pkg’s - i finally get back to the free trial just to see, again my regimen & a heavyset woman’s body-which is like 5 of me & end result of a smaller curvy woman who is bigger than i am now. So how does Light benefit me? Someone with a high metabolism, underweight my whole life, low bmi & thin arms? Following their recommendation in excercise will make me into a skeleton? Uninstalling & pls unsubscribe me

I tried to contact thru email and no reply so hopefully someone reads this review. I purchased a year plan and once I finished the first 28 days, it no longer advanced to new daily workouts. All I can do is click on the yoga tab and choose from the limited extra plans in that area. Is that how it’s supposed to work? It is very unclear and I truly expected more daily plans.

by AAzLady2

The exercise program is gentle, but I definitely felt it. Also I have difficulty getting on and off the floor so will have to do those on another surface.
My main concern is the recipes that are offered to help with weight loss. So far I have found that I’m either highly sensitive or allergic to three of the four that have been recommended.

by Bingofn68

I’m enjoying Light. the exercises are perfect and I enjoy how they are spread throughout the day. I would love to give Light 5 stars but I’ve reached out to customer service 3 times and never received a response. I was charged twice and wanted to know if either a refund were possible and if not can I gift the payment for my sister. Hope someone sees this review and reaches out to me soon!

by Gmom5753

I’m sooo tired of these “free workouts” that are not free! This is the best, even though it’s only free for a trial period you get exercises tailored for you. I have already started and am enjoying the workouts. Some of the questions are too specific, for example, for health reasons I can’t eat red meat, eggs, onions,tomatoes,chocolate or garlic and I’m allergic to mushrooms, so the question about the type of diet you follow didn’t get a correct response. I eat vegan burgers, vegan hot dogs and vegan and “real chicken” , turkey and fish. Some days I drink water all day, some days, maybe just 1 or 2 bottles, I walk at least a mile each way on the days I do walk. Types of exercise you prefer to do could be multiple choice, I don’t want to do any jumping, but I also don’t want to use any equipment, these are just some suggestions, I didn’t give 5 stars because it’s advertised “free” and it’s only a week free trial, I’ll enjoy my free trial then back to the Y , which is free under my insurance plan, this was ideal because you can do these very quickly in your own home, without traveling anywhere, even though it’s not “free” , thank you for the opportunity to experience this, also you don’t have to give up any credit card information when you start your free trial! That was a added blessing.

by Mybaby4ever

I like the work outs it gives and it’s really easy to use. But there really should be an option to add food allergies because it keeps recommending food options that I’m allergic too.

by Skolis89

I liked the ease of use. The exercises weren’t specifically designed for me based on my answers to the questionnaire ( I have an ankle injury yet there was many load bearing exercises) would be nice to have a full meal plan too. Not just breakfast. Definitely an app that has potential.

by Sparkle_Cupcake

I like Light but there is no way see what other type of exercises once you start your plan. Light need to give instruction on how to breath and what’s the correct form for an exercise. It giving chair exercises but if I a different type of exercises I can’r find them

by PPage5082

I missed putting in the fact I have a bad knee. And it won’t let you go back and correct that after you’ve started your subscription. So take your time answering questions! Program is great though.

by Galebb56

This is a great way for me to get back in shape. In my early 50s, I was going into the menopause stage along with tired of rushing from work to my gym before classes started, I. e., Step, Kickboxing, Group floor routines, etc.
After approximately 27 years attending a gym program … I stopped the workouts to take a break. Well, here I am … I am looking so much to experience good workouts with a desire to lose weight, gain flexibility and shape up which should continue to keep me motivated.

by Flopkitty

A non strenuous way to get back into shape. Add a 2 pound weight to burn more calories. If you have the two pound weight, definitely use!

by Dracienna

I love the lay out!
iI’s easy to understand, easy to follow.
I love the amount of time for each workout!
You can do more if you want, so when I have time I can do more. But I hate regular workouts, so this is probably going to be perfect for me.

by Wacosunshine

Thank you making the changes to the meal planner. Having the ability to build a weekly shopping list is incredibly helpful. Also, I love the addition of swapping recipes. I do not eat fish and now I can customize the meal options to what I can eat.

I gave Light a five star rating because the recipes are terrific. I have enjoyed the food and am losing weight.

by BoDillin

My first day starts tomorrow at 6am the goal is to get in better shape, and live a cleaner life. With this program I feel that is possible. I will post updates through out the next 30 days with pics.

by Seede5

I like Light it is easy but challenging. I find myself being more consistent in doing the exercises,and eating better food. The fasting is easy I’m done before I realize it. Even though I’m retired I’m busy so work is no excuse for not keeping in shape.

by Ladybug 5569

II really enjoyed this quick and easy workout. Thank you so very much.

by Kbombom

Everything seems easy to do I just need to keep my motivation going!

by Choosmom

I am an eighty year old female. I am in good health, but have not been exercising so these movements are a wonderful place to start strengthening my muscles at home. Thank you for putting this together for those of us who want to remain mobile.

by Clinical Liaison

This a great chair fitness workout especially of you combine it with some of the other workout offerings of you are able to tolerate them. I wish it had a simple suggestion daily meal tip. For example;Today Begin with a High Protein Breakfast but today no Sugar or Bakery add in an Arugula salad with sliced apples or pears and apirls Today Begin your day with a High Protein breakfast but today no soda add in a High protein Smoothie etc
Where are these recipes everyone is talking about?????

by Fluffy2lite

I recently downloaded Light and plan to use daily. However, it would be nice to be able to do these exercises on my watch. My phone is not always available and would love to just workout with my watch- anytime, anywhere. Is there a way to access Light from my watch? Thanks for bringing the fun back in exercise!

by FROZEN UP AGAIN!!!!

Love Light….but was wondering if there was a way to sync Light to the same app on my iPhone???? Would be great if the progress/workouts were synced together????

by Katakac57

I haven’t exercised in years due to having breast cancer. I have gotten overweight and out of shape for a 65-year-old woman. I hope that this is something that will help me gain my strength back and my endurance. I am so looking forward to a new beginning.

by SisterBonds

My knee hurts bad and I’m in a little pain right now could you please let me do some chair exercises too I would really appreciate it thanks

by SMS59

This workout is “a keeper”. Wish I had known more about the Just Fit app before I fell down “that Rabbit Hole”. It is important for the exercise app to take into consideration the age and limitations of the person that will be exercising like I am confident Light has.
Just Fit is a lot more fast paced and jumps right in with “planking” which is something you should not try straight out of the gate unless you have experience.
Light should be the “One” for those looking for a good start-up program.
