GIBBON Balance App User Reviews

Love it

I love my slackboard and the exercices in the app are good, but I suggest two things for improvement. 1- the videos are not all in English so maybe we should have a language parameter just to have the videos we can understand. 2- to be able to do a selection in the training videos by telling what equipment we have. Example if I have a slackboard pro, I see only the videos for the one or twos straps slackboard and no video of slackline or balance stick. Thank you!!!

Wanted to love it, but…

Been waiting to get the Gibb board.
Thought this would be really great insight into innovative use of the toy/tool.
Unfortunately, whoever programmed it never used an exercise app.
Nobody wants to have to shift the iPad from landscape to portrait and back again.
Bad user interface.
Cool down? I’m supposed to start an exercise with cool down…? Usually exercise starts with ready, set, go or > start your session, but not on the Gibbon app. Users are expected to start with a cool down which then starts a timer, which is not understandable.
Better option than this poorly fought out manufacturer app is to go to YouTube look at videos of how trainers are using this tool and not waste your time on this particular edition of the GIBBON offering.

Wish you could screen mirror

Bought the balance board for my son, and there’s a good amount of content, but it’s impossible to screen mirror on the tv for him. You can’t change the orientation of the video, even if you change the orientation on your phone in general, so it’s sideways no matter what you do. Very frustrating because my phone is too small for him to see what to do, and I also would like him to be able to do it without needing my phone.

Screen is not compatible with iPad

The screen does not turn the proper way for the iPad. I have to watch the video sideways.

Annoying!

I really don’t want a darn badge every time I do something. I don’t want to rate anything or share anything or collect one-legged squirrel trophies. Where is the Adult setting on this app? Just give me the exercises and some motivation

App

Videos don’t rotate and I’m confused where to start with double line giboard

Viele Fortschritte

Durch das trainieren mit der App und meinem Slackboard habe ich das Board wirklich gemeistert und haben meinen Körper und Balance stark trainiert

Love it!

It is very fun to workout with my balance board! I was very happy to see the app is free and not only teaches you how to balance but also help move your body. Would recommend to anyone!

Poor app

Doesn’t play the video you select. You have to go through all videos to get to the one you want

Fun way to workout

The Gibbon actually makes exercise fun and practical for people who want to fit in a balanced workout at home in between the pulls of everyday life!

Muy útil

La app es muy útil y es una forma muy divertida de entrenar. Se agradecerían más vídeos en la categoría balance burn. Las notificaciones diarias son útiles.

Old dog learning new tricks

I enjoy my blackboard, and the app makes it even better. I find some of the beginner moves a bit too challenging, but I’m getting better.

Great workout!

Wish I could cast to my TV though!

Gibbon balance

I like the app but wish it showed how to do tail lifts and toes lifts. Also it says extra points to do tail life but never see where to put that In

Great product. App suggestions…

When you have completed a video once, every time that you open it up for a second or third time starts the video at around 30 seconds instead of from the beginning. There’s no clear progress tracking besides a checkmark on the video that it’s completed. There is progress tracking. I’m not sure where to find it. The screen rotating doesn’t work on iPad. the button to start and stop timers could be larger. It’s difficult to start and stop the timer when you’re also trying to balance on the board!

Text summary doesn't match video

In the "Magic Minute" series, after you play or skip the video, the text for the "cool-down" button (summary steps?) is inconsistent with the videos in some cases. That's confusing.

Also, for "I" and "II", you might mention the difference is which foot starts it.

Just starting with my board, so I haven't looked at the other exercise series.

Balance

I enjoy the app very much, but when I select the individual two line exercise it shows me a completely different exercise. It is more frustrating just trying to get the exercise I want.

10/10 App

Got a Gibbord for Christmas and this App is great at giving me tips and even has prerecorded videos with real people! There are balancing options for elderly, adults , and even kids! There is a great achievement system and milestones. 10/10 will recommend to my friends

Fun

I’m 69 and the workouts are fun.

Content great, functionality so so

The content of the app is great as a new owner of a slack board I love the content to find more exercises to use the board however the app itself lacks functionality it does not rotate along with the iPad and when connected to a tv it shows sideways so I end up having to watch the video upside down or sideways
