### 5/5 — Time for relaxation

*2026-07-14, version 5.3*

As a full time teacher, part time grad student, wife of a veteran and mother of a beautiful daughter, taking the time to relax is essential for stress management. This is a simple 7 minutes out of my day! How great is that?! Who can’t squeeze in 7 minutes? Very calm narration and simple instructions. Easy to follow.

### 4/5 — Great but one wish

*2026-07-14, version 5.3*

I’ve only been doing the app for about a week or so, and I’m loving it. However, I do wish the exercises were a little more varied. If I could give it a half a star. I would give it 4 1/2 stars. It is free after all.

### 5/5 — Классное приложение

*2026-07-10, version 5.3*

Просто идеальный комплекс упражнений

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-09, version 5.3*

I highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful App

*2026-07-05, version 5.3*

Of all the apps over the years, this is one that I keep coming back to. It’s straightforward, uplifting and only seven minutes! It combines aspects of strength and flexibility and can easily be fit into a daily routine. There are only a few sequences to choose from, but sometimes simplicity is best.

### 5/5 — Simple and Useful

*2026-07-05, version 5.3*

A relaxing way to recenter and start the morning, before all hell breaks loose. I love this app.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-03*

Wonderful

### 5/5 — Calming

*2026-06-29, version 5.3*

Simple and lovely to do.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-06-28*

Absolutely love this app. It is always so easy to jump back into if you haven’t moved much recently. It has a clean design, is aesthetic, and is easy to follow. Excellent low impact movement and breath exercises.

### 5/5 — Seems great

*2026-06-26, version 5.3*

Really liked the breathing and intentionality don’t love the references to balancing chi

### 3/5 — Good intro

*2026-06-23*

This is a good little app intro but unfortunately isn’t great because it doesn’t give you clear movements. Tell you exactly what you’re doing, but it’s still good enough for a start.

### 5/5 — Thai Chi

*2026-06-23, version 5.3*

Incredible and answered exercises

### 5/5 — Proper t’ai chi moves

*2026-06-21, version 5.3*

Was very impressed

### 5/5 — Actually Tai Chi!

*2026-06-16, version 5.3*

So many other tai chi apps are just bouncy exercise routines either no recognizable connection to tai chi… This one gives you actual tai chi poses with their actual names.

### 4/5 — Was good

*2026-06-16, version 5.3*

Nice before bed

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-04, version 5.3*

Was great but now I can’t get on and trying to get help has been useless 
Tried to reset password but they never send code to email. 
Worked great for 5 years now useless

### 1/5 — Would be great if ?

*2026-05-04, version 5.3*

The app constantly freezes up in the middle of workouts and they just did a update a month age and it’s worse

### 1/5 — Everything Costs

*2026-04-18, version 5.3*

You can’t do anything without purchasing. Additionally the app is sluggish. Don’t waste your time or money.

### 1/5 — Poor información

*2026-03-12, version 5.2*

Very little information is provided; the user only finds out what it's about after paying the registration fee, and there's no going back. It consists of exercises for those with extensive knowledge of these movements, and those who already have that knowledge don't need it. It's simply a way to waste time and money.

### 1/5 — 2/1 offer

*2026-02-19, version 5.1*

I liked this ap so took uo the offer of two further excersizes for one and have paid for them but they have not materialised. Can you clarify this or refund payment if not I will contact apple direct

### 1/5 — Not free.

*2026-01-07, version 3.51*

Won’t let you even try anything without paying for it first. And they put a price on everything you want to try. 1.99 for this step, 1.99 for that step. ugh. I’m deleting after this review.

### 1/5 — Locked Out

*2025-12-01, version 3.51*

I got locked out of my account.  I’ve tried going in through the Facebook, I’ve sent myself emails about resetting the password that have never arrived.  I’ve even tried to set up a new account but that’s blocked.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-10-27, version 3.51*

Opened today for the first time only to be told once logging in through Facebook that the app is not active and the developer is aware of the situation.  Guess I’ll move on to something else and check back later.

### 1/5 — 33%

*2025-10-26, version 3.51*

The first session was great. The other two available sessions are another $1.99 each :(

### 1/5 — It is just one flow

*2025-09-07, version 3.51*

Too limited
The flow is fine, but it’s just one sequence with the same animation. Pay and you get one more. No variation. After a couple of run-throughs, there’s not much left to use.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent daily Chi workout

*2026-08-15, version 5.3*

Really good and easy to fit into any morning routine. Recommended

### 5/5 — Lovely!

*2026-08-07, version 5.3*

Easy to learn and easy to do. Not too long or complicated. So glad I found this one!!!

### 5/5 — Stretch to calm

*2026-08-07, version 5.3*

A wonderful programme, I find Qigong is so good for my well-being.

### 5/5 — I love the app

*2026-08-07, version 5.3*

Overall, great workout! Just a few suggestions: A couple of the exercises only target one side, so it would be great to include both sides to ensure balanced training. Also, there seems to be some exercise time used to prepare for active rest. Consider reducing the active rest periods and adding that time back into the exercises to keep the workout more engaging and effective.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2026-08-02, version 5.3*

Such a simple easy exercise.. beautifully illustrated,so easy to follow. Brilliant

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-07-24, version 5.3*

Such small easy moves and it is so relaxing, much needed, thank you

### 5/5 — Sanity

*2026-07-23, version 5.3*

Simply works - Period 👍🏼💯🥂

### 5/5 — Wellness Tool

*2026-07-23, version 5.3*

I think it's life-changing with baby steps 💪

### 5/5 — Great way to boost digestion

*2026-07-22, version 5.3*

I use this practice to stabilize my blood sugar after meals and keep my HRV levels consistent.
However, I think there’s a bug. Sometimes though it removes the session from the calendar if I don’t do the same type of session or do it twice in one day.

### 5/5 — Soothing Activation

*2026-07-21, version 5.3*

I have used 7 minute chi as wast to activate my body in the mornings or afternoons or relax in preparation for sleep. It’s the right amount of time to soothe my mind and body before my day, at night, or between workouts. It also alerts my to areas where im not flexible after injuries.
