Apple Watch app NEEDS WORK
I love the iPhone app overall. The different challenges hold me accountable to keep up with my flexibility work and I am seeing real results. The Apple Watch app, however, leaves everything to be desired. When it works properly it tracks calories and shows a countdown clock so you know how much time is left in the class you’re watching. When your class is over, it syncs your workout with Apple Health and contributes to your active calories and exercise minutes totals. More often than not this is not the case. As the class ends the Apple Watch app will be frozen and the clock will never reach 0:00 even though the iPhone app has entered the post-class screen. The watch will continue to count calories burned even though the class has ended. I am forced to shut down and restart my Apple Watch to shut down the app. Several hours later the workout will sync with Apple Health with the inflated calorie count. The worse outcome is the Apple Watch app will not start automatically as usual when the class is started on the iPhone. In order to see the countdown clock on my watch I need to continuously scroll through my app list and open the StretchIt app over and over again. At the end of the class the app is not frozen, but shows that the number of calories burned shows 0 which is obviously incorrect. This has been incredibly frustrating and the lone drawback to an otherwise great service. I hope these issues are resolved soon!Show lessjrodrocks510

I’ve used quite a few stretching and yoga services / apps, and this is my current one for stretching. I have mostly used cheaper stretching apps that are more basic, but they don’t offer the same benefits as these professional classes.
I was a competitive gymnast when young, and just for fun, started learning ballet in my 30s, which requires a lot of flexibility. I’ve done yoga since my 20s (regularly but not too seriously), so I have a lot of experience with flexibility training.
I still like to do various flexibility workouts, especially yoga, which I do in the mornings. I am not a morning person, so I like to save my cardio for the afternoons, but I really needed a good flexibility app for after. I usually do this app at the end of my evening workout.
I’ve done a few of the shorter programs so far, starting with the easiest programs, since I was out of shape when I started (and a completist). Being 41, I really appreciate the professional value, as the instruction and cuing considers all levels and body types. It feels inclusive and not stuck up, which a lot of flexibility activities can be, sorry to say.
But, whatever level you are, you can really see results with any of these programs, because that’s clearly how they’re designed. I don’t even mind paying the price because I really appreciate the model.Show lessSherylc6

Thank you sooooo much for your amazing feedback! It means a lot ❤️ Happy stretching!Great App
Love the is app but does move too quickly through the stretches. Should remain in them slightly longer and allow breathing deeper and longer breathes with the inhale and exhale focused to allow muscle relaxation. Flow moves too quickly for a follower to be able to adjust and get the full benefits of the intended stretch. Otherwise, it is a great app with intuitive stretches and great combinations. Truly love the clean minimal aspect and the ease of use of the software. I am excited to spend more time with this app and love the fact that I can schedule my next session with notifications. This is beneficial because I can set routines as I go throughout the day to help me get out of my chair at work or plan between errands. Overall, it is a great app and hope this helps.
After my review they emailed me directly with advice and help and wow what an amazing staff. I am excited to see where this company goes. ❤️Show lessStevenChampagne

Hi! Thank you so much for your extensive feedback and kind words! It means a lot ❤️ At first, you may find it difficult to keep up with the pace of the class. The idea is to keep the movement going without interruption. So try to start an exercise with the video and then adjust your movement according to the voice cues. If an exercise is new to your body, it may take some time to figure it out. And that's ok! Don’t feel the need to rush through it or to pause the video every time. Just complete fewer reps and move on. It will get better with practice. Once your body is comfortable with the movement, you’ll be able to get into a pose faster and hold it longer. Also, you can use a speed control option on the STRETCHIT app/website (open a class, tap the Settings icon in the top/bottom right corner of the video, and set up the speed). Please only go as far as your body allows. Feel free to use yoga blocks and a strap at any time to extend your reach. Don’t feel the need to do the exercises with the same range of motion as the trainer in the video. Use her only for guidance.
