Leave a Review Yoga Wake Up Morning Routine
Did not wake me up
This app is a great idea but it didn’t wake me up. I left the app running in the forefront with my phone plugged in. Volume on. And nothing happened. All I got was a push notification saying “good morning”. My Yin Wake Up that I downloaded never played. It’s unfortunate because I was really looking forward to it.Show lessJenna Tz
Not Free
The only choices that were free were maybe two meditation selections and i would love to meditate but i did download this app to do yoga in the morning not to meditate. Good idea horrible layout, even if i had the money to pay right now i wouldnt because theres not enough selections to try free right now for me to know whether or not id even enjoy the app.Show lessEmAndBaby2019
No way to try it without a subscription
When you set it up it tells you "you've received 2 free wake ups". And yet - they're not there, and if I try to set anything up it requires a subscription. Can't even try the preview, as it keeps saying no internet (not true, as I can use literally anything else on my phone connected to the internet, including posting this review!) Great example of how glitchy everyone else says the app is, and I haven't even gotten to try it. Poor development and poor marketing. :-(Show lessSar9876
An app to love forever
I never usually write app reviews, but I AM IN LOVE with this app! It takes forever to wake me up and I hate all other alarms. This app combines my effort to practice yoga and be mindful in the morning with actually waking up. I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful app!k_bakken
Not what I was hoping
Although I really liked the concept, I was disappointed in the inability to integrate it with other apps. For example, I already have a night ambient sleep sounds app I use and was hoping I could use this in conjunction with. Unfortunately, it override the volume of my ambient noise app.
If this gets fixed so that you can listen to your normal music/ambient sleep apps to fall asleep and then have this app wake you up, I might re-download it.Show lessAphoenixrain
Great idea, but needs work.
I really appreciate the developer’s quick and respectful response to my issues, so I upgraded my original review from 3 to 4 stars. However, I am still not able to listen to classical music using the sleep timer on my FM radio, fall asleep and leave my iPhone in the clock radio charging dock and wake up to my yoga wake up because the clock radio needs to be set iPod for the wake up to play from the charging dock.
For now, I have been use a charging cord plugged into the aux outlet, setting the yoga wake up face down on the night stand ( I hate the screen being on, even on the darkest setting), and turn on the radio with the sleep time.
The wake ups are the excellent, some are especially beautiful. I just wished they could work like an alarm you program to open and play at a specified time.
I don’t like or find the sleep tracker useful. It assumes you are sleeping when you set up the app to play a wake up in the morning.
Please keep working on this! Love the material!Show lesspamcnm1958

Thank you so much for trying our app. Yes we do require the app to stay open in the foreground, BUT we are working on a new version that will allow us to run in the background. If you have the time, we'd love your input on this. Please email us at feedback@yogawakeup.com if you'd like to share your input or to help us troubleshoot the other issues you were having. Thanks again!Gets you out of bed!
I’m still on the fence to purchase so I’ve only been using the free recordings since the majority of them require a subscription. For the ones I’ve listened to, I love them! The quality instructors and the message and movement together bring a beautiful meditation practice. The wake up from bed sessions are amazing - even for the mornings you don’t even want to open your eyes, by the end I’m sitting up and ready to get my day going. Some mornings that is NOT easy for me! The one thing I’ll point out is the music selection is sometimes a little distracting but that’s just a personal preference. At one point an easy meditative song transitioned to Natalie Merchant (singing “thank you” so there was a message there, but still), then another practice had a song with multiple loud drum sounds - cool songs that might be fun to dance to - it just took my attention away from the practice a bit. Overall the app is definitely worth downloading and trying. Again the quality of the instructors is really powerful, super knowledgeable, and deliver with a kind tone. I’m grateful for this app after every session!Show lessRayzRevz

I’ve had this app for about 4 months and I love it. However, it stopped waking me up somewhere around 2-3 updates ago (I’m pretty sure it was when the sleep tracking was released). I turned off the sleep tracking and reviewed my alarms and noticed that the volume bar was grayed out on all of them, which explained why I was getting the “have a nice day” message but not hearing the alarm. That seems to have been fixed with this latest update, because I was able to adjust the alarm volume up last night. However, this morning I got the message that I had an alarm set that did not go off because the app was not open. That wasn’t actually true though, my phone was locked with the app running, which I confirmed by opening my phone. I’m disappointed because I love waking up to the soothing sounds and getting a morning stretch without having to touch my phone (which is why I paid for the service for a year) but it just isn’t working like that anymore. I’m on the latest iOS 11 service pack, so I know it isn’t happening because of old phone software.Show lessJustCallMeChickie

There are only two free sessions in the “from bed” series, so it is difficult to tell about the quality and value of the rest of the sessions, though the descriptions look good. I am disappointed that there are not more sessions available in the free mode and think that the subscription is expensive. Other similar apps offer more useful sessions for free, and sometimes more reasonable subscription purchase prices or discount sales.Show lesscnph
