Disappointed.
I’ve been quite disappointed with the releases all. Most often times, there’s many releases that won’t show choreography notes, or the individual songs. The app has saved me some time in convenience with learning choreo...but not when it’s not working, which seems to be a fair amount of the time.

Notes
Love the releases but it would be nice to be able to pick which track you want to review for notes instead of having to swipe through each page.

Better than the last few releases
This release at least makes some sense with the music and can most of the time hear the beat - and there usually is a pattern making it easier to learn, transitions are not too fast as the last few releases . But track 6 is not in the slightest appropriate, that’s why you gave an alternative but gosh the alternative is just bad music. Overall it’s okay - 103 is still the best of the new stuff. But you still haven’t gotten close to the old original music feel of tracks in the 40’s or 50’s

One small suggestion
Love love love LesMills and this app. One small suggestion; it would be nice to be able to click on the track on the front page of the choreography notes and have it go straight to the track you are working on.

Prefect for learning on the GO!
I LOVE this APP! Having the release available in video, paper, and music gives a variety of ways to memorize the choreography and workouts! I listen to the video while I’m on the road to get familiar with the music and the counts/choreography... it super convenient and fun!

No sound with video
I fully understand all the money les mills pays to have the right to use music. And they want that protected. However, this app is a disaster and rarely works. It is a hope and prayer every time. And I have ended up using old releases because of it.
Right now, I can see the video, but there is NO sound with it. The music plays well just as music. But then why are we paying for also the video if there is no sound? ( there has been sound in the past, it is just inconsistent and unreliable)
I kept the expletives out of my review, but you can insert them at will to feel my frustration.

Just so many quirks
I have the iPhone 10 and can hold a lot of data. This app needs constant attention! At times It takes forever to reload a video much less trying to watch one without the constant buffering or pausing or stalling on this app is super frustrating! Not to mention having to reload ALL of your music and videos after an update! This is one of the most important apps for me as I teach 5 programs and am on a constant go and this is by far the most annoying and broken app I have to deal with! The concept is great because it is so convenient with rewind, voice and a lot of other options you can use to learn the program but whomever built this app has far to go for it to be functioning at good standard.

It works pretty well
I like the new feature for playlists. Although It would be nice if we could incorporate older releases. I also wish I could use my smart watch for music controls. With the app I can’t pause tracks with my watch. With the other playlist app I have I am able to.

Inconsistent Functionality
I had previously rated this app with 1-star, but the issue of connectivity has resolved. The issue that keeps happening to me now is that I will download the music and chorey for offline use, but after a few successful logins, the release will “reset” and remove the media from my phone, and (seemingly) always when I do not have network connectivity. This is assuming the app doesn’t make me reset my password (happened twice already in 20 calendar days). It would also be great if Face Recognition worked. I understand DRM is a real issue but if you’re not going to relent and help us out, what is the point of these beautiful bells and whistles?

Developer Response
Hi CrashTimes3 - Are you still having trouble with this? We'd love to help if yes! Please reach out to us directly at digital.release@lesmills.com so we can get you up and running again on the app :)
Much much improved!
This app has come a long way! It is very stable, and offers essential learning features that iTunes just can’t match. The ability to fast forward and rewind in 15 second chunks is probably my most used feature. So helpful when you want to zoom in on one section of choreography. The ability to see the choreography notes along with the video has also been a game changer. Now that it has a playlist feature where you can add spaces of silence between certain tracks, clutch! I highly recommend this app now to all instructors. I’ve made the switch to using it in all of my classes.
