Half the time it didn’t analyze my handstands and when it did when I was more banana shaped is when the app said I was straight. So great concept but maybe needs a little work **Developer response:** Thanks for giving it a proper go — 14 years is a lot of experience to bring to it! What do you mean when you say "it didn't analyze"? Were you side-on to the camera? We'd love to get to the bottom of it. Regarding banana handstands — we do pick up on them via the hips opening up, but capturing the lumbar arch itself is something we're still sharpening, and we're working on it as we speak. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-09-05* It’s helped me improve my handstands and works really well. It’s also just been fun to use. I think my only feedback is that I wish the dot on the shoulder in the line view was not as picky. I really struggle to get it to turn yellow. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2026-09-01* My #1 fear when downloading was a subscription like many apps have. It seems to me all features are available without paying!!! This is a relief as I never could pay for an app. This app has many beneficial features, making this app way better than I expected! The only problem I found was the app saying I was doing handstand pushups when I was not. 10/10 app hard to find quality like this! PLEASE NEVER MAKE THIS APP PAY TO USE!!!!! **Developer response:** Thanks for the amazing review! For the handstand push-up miscount — it'd really help us if you could head to Settings, scroll to the bottom, tap Upload Session and send us the one it happened in, so we can track down what went wrong and fix it for everyone. And sorry to disappoint, but the app will be a paid one someday — you'll get plenty of notice, and we'll make sure it's very affordable and great value for money 🙏 ### 5/5 — This app is great for gymnasts!! *2026-08-26* I’m so happy it’s free right now! The app is great it shows you your shoulder angle, if you’re stacked etc! When you monetize the app please keep the recording and the skeleton feature free!!! Also another thing you could do that I would totally download is this app but for bridges and you could also add drills to this app and shoulder stretching exercises for shoulder angle in a handstand and those two could be paid features!! These are just ideas tho anyways I think this is the best app for handstand tracking on the AppStore **Developer response:** Thank you so much — "best app for handstand tracking" honestly made our day!!! 🎉 Love the bridges and drills ideas too. There will be a paid tier eventually, but it'll be great value and you'll get plenty of notice before you're asked to pay 🤸 ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-08-26* This is such a fun app and it makes handstands fun and no adds! **Developer response:** Thank you very much! ### 5/5 — Impressive *2026-08-24* This is great! I love the hands free recording feature. And the line overlays. I’ll challenge my friends next. 😊 I was a competitive gymnast for 16 years. I teach a weekly HS class and I think my students will love this. I would like to collaborate with you on a HS coaching app I’m building. If you’re interested please contact me. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! Love that you're teaching handstands — we'd be keen to hear more, so please drop us a mail at hello@handstandlab.app 🤸 ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2026-08-22* I’ve been filling my handstands and going through videos forever and this makes it so much more convenient. It’s super easy to use 10/10 ! The only thing would be maybe to track wall sessions and freestanding separately so I know my personal best freestanding. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! You can mark wall handstands during a session using the wall toggle, or after the session. That way your records are tracked separately 🤸 ### 5/5 — W *2026-08-22* Hasn’t asked to pay yet and is honestly really accurate with when I’m starting my handstands, please don’t let me down by being a money grab 🙏 **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! There will be a paid tier at some point, but it'll be great value and you'll get plenty of notice before you're asked to pay 🙏 ### 5/5 — Handstand coach in my phone! *2026-08-21* Honestly, super helpful, having something to help breakdown my form and teach me how to consistently hold my handstand better is awesome! Thanks app dev **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! Glad the form breakdown is useful 🤸 ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was after! *2026-08-04* I’ve always recorded my handstands in order to piece together what looks right or wrong- this app makes self coaching soo much easier and data driven. I love all the info it gives you to know exactly what needs to improve to reach the perfect handstand shapes, and keeping tabs on progress all in one place. Great addition to my training toolkit and exactly what I needed to level up! **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! Let us know if you’ve got any feature requests 🙏 ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Strava for handstands! *2026-07-23* Just started using it and so far I really like the metrics and tracking. I have been using the line feature to help with my shoulder and hips alignment. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
