Can’t play video

I can’t seem to play any videos anymore on the app. Is there a problem with the app?

Could be better

Great app with good qualities, but some of the moves start off wrong, like in a standstill, in which we do not learn it as. You should make and improvement where it has multiple ways to do the move.

Great app!

Really helpful app. I always refer to it to make sure I'm executing my elements correctly when I'm not with my coach. It's a great reference point to not only see how to execute the elements but also read on how to do them as well.

Perfect

So helpful!!!

Ok, but there are a few issues

Transitioning to teaching skating in the USFS system (from ISI) I purchased this app to brush up on the slightly different elements in the Basic Skill Program. I love the idea of the app for many purposes (skaters, parents, instructors), but found too many bugs to give it five stars.

Menu pages: when viewing in portrait mode the items are squished together on items Freeskate 2, 4 and 5 (I realize in landscape it is fine, but Freestyle 1 is perfect).

Description pages: there are elements that the name of the element, the description, and the video do not match up.

Example: Freeskate 2 - Waltz 3's have a Begining Back Spin description; Freeskate 3 - Forward and Backward Crossovers have a Back Spin description.

Consistency in descriptions: maintaining the order of focus will make it easier to follow.

Example: Jumps - sometimes the focus of "jump" is first, sometimes third.

Typos: Freeskate 3: Waltz 8 & Backspin descriptions: "Focus: Focus" repeating term (this happens in a few places).

Freeskate 2: Basic backward outside and backward inside consecutive edges

"Focus:Edge" missing space.

Description window: could be much bigger (full screen) so there is no need to scroll through to read the paragraph.

Just like in skating - consistency is key!!!!

Please review the app with a fine tooth comb, and I would happily give it 5 stars.
