Sound is not working
I was very excited to try it, but sound is not working in all videos
Sound not working
During the Beta trial I reported the sound not working at all on any exercise or video. I'm having the same issue now it's released. Simply no sound at all even after restart or reinstallation. All other apps withing fine with sound.
My bars arrived today and are set up awaiting use.

Great app
Wish there was a way to see more videos on one screen or a way to choose by categories or search.
Fantastic to have MANY quick to watch videos
It does everything simple. Perfect. Shows me new ideas and is very fast. Works awesome with monkii bars or TRX or similar. But Monkii is better since the two straps can be attached to separate points unlike TRX. Amazing. Be wild.
Great app
Excellent app one of the best I seen
Could be more
I had hoped to use this for traveling, but most doors in hotel rooms etc. open in. You need to be on the side of the door where you push the door open in order for it to engage against the door jam safely. Haven’t been able to use it in a hotel room so far.
The app itself is slick, if you like to watch videos and scrub back-and-forth to find out what you just missed. There is no healthkit/watch integration at all. As a result, it’s hard to get into any kind of flow when, at least starting out, you need to go back to the videos and try to figure out what strange contortion you’re supposed to be in. I’m also not thrilled with the idea of strapping up my expensive iPhone at that height, worrying that with all the moving around I’ll dislodge it with one of the straps.
Also, a good hint would be that for a short person like me, perhaps hook up the straps before you attach it to the door so you’re not trying to figure out what part goes where while reaching above your head.
Setting it up is another chore. It’s pretty fiddly to get it all unpacked and then re-packed. The single biggest frustration though is that there are no instructions for how to set it up properly in the app itself. You have to go to the website and look at another YouTube video. Perhaps I’m old-school, but one or two pictures are all that I need. I keep having to scrub back-and-forth in the YouTube video to find the exact frame that shows where I’m supposed to hook part A to part B. The workout videos don’t help matters as they are apparently for a different version and it appears the straps probably connect in a little bit different way but I haven’t found a frame that clearly illustrates how that’s supposed to work. Would it distract too much from the 21st-century elegance to maybe include a piece of paper with some pictures for the first set up? Perhaps some advice for how long to actually make the straps for various sorts of exercise intensities?
Finally, while I really want to like it, I was dismayed to see many of the reviews are clearly fake, from firstname-LASTNAME 🙄

Monkii In Training
Hi there! I just god the monkii app to go along with the new pocket monkii. After opening up the app and navigating to the videos I noticed an issue. I have no sound. I’ve made sure all my volumes were up but I see Dan explaining the workout but no sound. So I tried to watch a few other videos to see if it was just that one but it’s all of them. The rest of it looks great, can’t wait to begin training with my new gear!

Needs improvement
No way to mark which you've completed, especially in the 21 day workout. Would be useful to have an option to check complete, click favorite, etc.
Needs a few more features
I like this app and the monkii bars quite a bit but I have a few ideas for the app:
Tracking workouts
Mix and match based on goals
Favorites
Look forward to future updates
