An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Short 5-minute sessions and cartoon figures that do not make you feel inadequate land well, people like controlling the music, pace and focus. But a big update broke the beloved pose-hold mode and sped everything up, and for beginners there is often no warm-up or spoken cues, risking injury.

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I wrote a five star review for the earlier version of this app, which was just right for me (hold each pose for 50 seconds- just 5 poses). But the big update presents a smooth fast routine of many more poses. It gives pacing options but even the slowest option is way too fast for me.
