    Would be better with audio. It’s hard to turn & look at screen when you’re in a pose.
  • Great app! Could be better with Watch support

    By Great but needs Watch support
    This app is great! It makes it super easy to quickly get your stretching in every day. It has great prompts that beep when you get to the end of a stretch so that you’re ready to start the next one and even has a voice prompt that tells you what the next one is. It leverages animated cues to show you which stretch you’ll be doing and if you need more detail and guidance you can click the info button for a video of a human doing the stretch. My only suggestion is that Apple Watch support would make it better. If my watch would vibrate at the end of a stretch, and queue me up with a pic of the next stretch, it would keep me from having to move my phone around while I’m stretching. Seems like a natural and great application for the watch.

    Great app. Very well made and guides you through the stretches with intuitive images. I’m usually pretty stingy about spending money on digital products, but this one is so worth it for me and my perpetually stiff body.
  • Love it!
