Saludos ### 3/5 — Sound no workie *2022-07-24* Could not for the life of me get the sound to work. I want to hear it soo bad ### 3/5 — I need Chinese! *2022-04-18* 没有中文解说就很难受了 ### 5/5 — Nun bin ich Profi *2020-10-05* Danke für euren Support !! Meine Frau ist glücklich 😀 ### 4/5 — Handy app *2020-07-27* Must add a fast forward and rewind for the routines. When you’re trying to memorize a routine and check your knowledge you don’t want to wait for each vide to play. The videos are a really nice touch to help the beginner see how things can be done. ### 5/5 — Awesome Massage App! *2020-07-24* The price is not just right. It is also awesome. I am currently working towards earning a Massage Therapy certification and decided to add some digital resources. This app is a must! ### 5/5 — 我是按摩师，真的很不错的视频。 *2020-02-16* 真正的西方人按摩，西方的按摩师。瑞典式 ### 5/5 — Just Getting Started? *2020-01-28* I have been using is app for a number of years. It is great to show individuals where their potential problem may be. It is great to show an individual what to expect when working a specific area. This is a great program to get started with. ### 3/5 — Awesome apps *2019-07-01* It’s a really fun app to lean to use & it also helps relieve built up tension in the problem area of the body. ### 4/5 — Great App! *2019-05-31* This app has been real helpful! ### 5/5 — Great app for the novice wanting to learn! *2019-01-30* This app is exactly what I was looking for! I bought a very nice Master Massage table for my wife, as our previous Sam’s Club table had been lent out and never returned. This app provides the guidance and visual needed to perform a very therapeutic home massage. I would have even entertained the idea of going to an abbreviated massage school to learn the skills I wanted, to provide loving massages to my wife, for the rest of our lives. I am very happy to say that this program package that I paid less than five dollars for, is going to give me everything that I need. As previous reviewer‘s have stated, a pause, fast forward, and rewind feature would make the app that much more outstanding and even easier to use. I am absolutely not complaining and very happy with this purchase and literally would happily have paid $100 for the visual guidance and content. I showed the app to my professional massage therapist, and her supervisor at the spa I go to. Both were impressed and stated that the content is solid and well demonstrated. ### 3/5 — Sympa mais... *2018-11-29* Assez basique mais sympa. Dommage qu'on ne puisse pas avancer ou reculer les vidéos ! J'espère que ce sera rectifié à la prochaine mise à jour. ### 2/5 — Routine *2018-06-05* I’m not able to start any of the routines, is there something I’m missing? I’m clicking on the video to start and stop. ### 4/5 — One missing component *2018-02-21* Please give us the option to fast forward or rewind a routine especially to pick up viewing where you left off if you get interrupted or have to exit the app ### 2/5 — 英語のみ *2018-01-02* 動画はわかりやすいマッサージの仕方がのってるんですが解説が英語のみ。ぜひ日本語対応していただきたい ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — En anglais seulement *2025-05-25* Il n’y a pas l’option de langage comme le muscles TriggerPoints de la même série ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-02-29* There is no volume on the video to hear the technique ### 1/5 — No sound *2023-02-18* It would be really helpful if voice instructions were playing with the video but everything is muted. I see a sound bar so I think they intended to have a voice over but there isn’t. I went through all the fixes listed on the website (making sure my version is up to date, redownloading etc) nothing worked. I’m just upset that I paid for this app since it won’t even work right and doesn’t even seem to have legit massage techniques. It has things like “energy balancing” were you hold your hand on them or gently brushing woh your finger tips like what’s that supposed to do? Just give me legit massage techniques with video instructions. ### 1/5 — Need update to play video *2022-11-14* On iOS 13 the app is frozen and crashing when play video. Needs updates, please. I’ll update my review and rating after the app is working properly. Thanks ### 1/5 — NO SOUND *2018-03-16, version 2* I bought this app and it has no sound. I emailed the company several times, and in their reply's stated nothing that would fix the apps sound. Perhaps if I deleted the app, and they sent me a working product perhaps my thoughts would be different, unfortunately nothing was done to correct my issue. DO NOT BUY THIS APP. IF YOUR PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK WHEN PURCHASED YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. Very disappointed in the app. Also, there are FREE videos on YouTube for Massage that are better quality, and more comprehensive then this app, which I payed for. The worst! ### 1/5 — 手法单一 *2017-05-04* 软件价值差，影像无声音，差评 ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2015-10-28* Crap app, he's a creep stroking her, not professional nor effective massage. 1 star is a massive over rating for this app. Don't buy. ### 1/5 — 真烂的手法 *2014-03-17* 不要购买，忽悠人 ### 1/5 — Hace falta que esté en español *2013-12-17, version 1.1* Muy buena app solo falla el idioma mis 5 estrellas para cuando la explicación y todo el texto de la app este completamente en castellano pues no sólo basta con los videos también hace falta entender la explicación así que recomiendo no comprar la aplicación pues por el precio que tiene ya podría estar en castellano. ### 1/5 — 都是骗人的，千万别在花钱买了 *2013-07-03* 什么破玩意，浪费我钱，全是骗人的，后面的朋友千万别在上当受骗啊 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tutorial *2026-04-01, version 2.2* Muy bien explicada cada una de las partes del masaje ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-11-19* I love how informative, and visual, this app is. As others have mentioned, there is no audio for the videos (although, there is a description of the technique below each one), but I do admire that there is a 3D model of the area being worked on beside the videos. I’m assuming having no audio was intentional, and—for me—that isn’t a huge issue… it just makes the associated visual feel a little “lifeless”. I believe even just having the typical meditative audio we use during massage sessions playing in the background would be a nice touch. ### 5/5 — Pleasantly surprised!! *2024-07-30* I purchased a bundle thinking for 499. It was worth a shot. I am very impressed. Each of the three apps is really perfect for what I want. I find that they are well designed and give me access to the information that I want quickly. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Buena y fácil *2022-04-25, version 2.2* La app está muy bien. Si es cierto que falta la traducción o elegir opciones de idiomas. Pero tenemos a nuestro alcance traductores. El precio es muy razonable y el contenido es amplio y de fácil compresión. ### 5/5 — Suggestion.. *2022-01-30* Wish I could favorite certain techniques, as sort of a bookmark! Otherwise love the app! ### 5/5 — Excellent for beginners *2021-08-14* I purchased this app to teach me how to massage my boyfriend. He is a chef and often complains that his whole body hurts after work. The directions and videos made me very comfortable and confident. This app is very professional and I especially liked how I was taught the proper terms for body parts. This is the best $3 I have spent! This app’s value is way more than that. I’m going to start him lying on his belly and take it from A-Z and then repeat when he’s lying on his back. This app is an incredible foundation that imparts skills that I will use for the rest of my life. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Love this!!! *2021-07-30* This is awesome!! If the length of time for each routine could be added it helps lots! Thanks :) ### 5/5 — Excellent resource *2021-06-09* This is the best massage app I have found yet. Love the routines and videos. I have used and tweaked the methods shown to work in my practice. Great help. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Solo en inglés *2021-06-07, version 2.2* Hola, esta app solo viene en inglés 😣, previamente compré la de los músculos y si viene en varios idiomas, así q me deje llevar por la emoción, pero no, esta solo viene en inglés ### 5/5 — Ottima app *2020-10-14, version 2.1* Aggiungerei i trigger points, ma l’app comunque è ben fatta. Ottima x apprendere le tecniche di massaggio, specie se si ha già una buona manualità e qualche conoscenza in merito --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
