### 4/5 — Good stretch

*2026-07-20, version 5.1.14*

This is a good stretch Butt. The people are British so it’s hard to understand them. I think they need to be some understandable people there too.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-06-20, version 5.1.14*

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!!!

### 2/5 — So much potential but videos don’t work

*2026-06-13, version 5.1.14*

There appears to be plenty of excellent videos. Unfortunately, they do not work well on an iPad as they will not auto rotate when I change the orientation. Further, there is no way to restart a video or even to scroll forward or backwards more than 10 seconds forward and backwards. None of the typical tools seen on any YouTube video are available. It’s stupefying that the developers did not include these tools when they made the app. So much potential…

### 3/5 — Wanted to love it, but…

*2026-05-25, version 5.1.14*

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.

### 3/5 — Wish you could screen mirror

*2026-04-13*

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.

### 4/5 — Screen is not compatible with iPad

*2026-03-26, version 5.1.8*

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

### 2/5 — Annoying!

*2026-03-19, version 5.1.8*

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

### 3/5 — App

*2026-03-18, version 5.1.8*

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

### 3/5 — Poor app

*2026-02-09, version 5.1.7*

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

### 4/5 — Old dog learning new tricks

*2026-02-06*

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.

### 4/5 — Great workout!

*2026-01-24, version 5.1.7*

Wish I could cast to my TV though!

### 4/5 — Gibbon balance

*2026-01-22, version 5.1.7*

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

### 3/5 — Great product. App suggestions…

*2026-01-22*

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!

### 4/5 — Text summary doesn't match video

*2026-01-14*

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.

### 4/5 — Balance

*2026-01-13*

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.

### 3/5 — Content great, functionality so so

*2026-01-09, version 5.1.7*

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

### 3/5 — Slack board plus

*2026-01-07, version 5.1.7*

I’ve done 3 workouts so far and don’t find it challenging. Wish I had just gotten single strap

### 3/5 — Trying to balance

*2026-01-04, version 5.1.7*

Trying to balance and all videos are 1 strand and and you’ve recommended 2 strand. Where’s those videos???

### 3/5 — Son

*2026-01-02, version 5.1.7*

Il serait bien lors des exercices d’avoir un décompte sonore pour ne pas à avoir à regarder le téléphone

### 3/5 — Unorganized

*2025-12-31, version 5.1.7*

Nice to have guidance but the video titles and preview screen don’t match what the video shows you a lot of the time.

### 4/5 — I like it, but have a suggestion

*2025-12-27*

I like the app but it would be helpful if there was an audible count for the exercises since I’m not looking at it while I’m trying to balance.

### 1/5 — Does not rotate, exercises labeled wrong

*2025-12-28, version 5.1.4*

App doesn’t rotate to correct orientation! This is ridiculous in 2025.
Videos are weird mix of vertical and horizontal perspective.
Individual exercises for two-line balance board are all labeled wrong :(
Such a shame, the content looks great, solid concepts, and of course the board itself is awesome! 

App needs major overhaul.

### 1/5 — Hilarious failure of an app

*2024-06-16*

No matter what I tap on, like GiBoard tricks, it loads the Slack Rack Setup Video. What the heck?! Lol! Hey…at least the GiBoard works well. I’ll make up my own tricks and post the videos on YouTube in a playlist for you all, since that simple task cannot be completed by this amateurish GmbH.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-05-11, version 3.3.1*

Terrible app. Don’t bother

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work

*2024-05-04, version 3.3.1*

This is the only app I’ve ever downloaded that simply doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Can’t open app

*2023-10-13, version 3.3.1*

I updated to iOS 17 and I can’t even open the app anymore.

### 1/5 — Könnte hilfreich sein…

*2022-07-15, version 3.3.0*

… wenn die App nicht ständig neu laden würde und man immer wieder auf der Home Seite landen würde.

### 1/5 — Problema Videos Trickline

*2022-05-23, version 3.3.0*

Não consigo ver o conteúdo de trickline, a tela começa a carregar e volta ao menu. Desinstalando o software agora :/

### 1/5 — Stürzt ständig ab....

*2019-11-25, version 3.0.0*

....wenn ich auf die Trickline Tutorials zugreifen möchte. Bitte fixen!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-08-19, version 3.0.0*

I don’t think this app is supported any more. It crashes whenever you do anything

### 1/5 — Crash

*2019-06-11, version 3.0.0*

This app is great but doesn’t work, crashes every time I try to use it

### 5/5 — Muy útil

*2026-02-08, version 5.1.7*

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.

### 5/5 — 10/10 App

*2026-01-13*

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
