Some Fixes to make Application Smooth

User reviews

Excellent app

One of it’s kind in terms of a guided practice through the primary series but unfortunately there is a critical bug that blocks the app from switching from one pose to the other instead it repeats in a loop the same position. I think it is worth updating even for an additional cost so please consider hiring a coder and making a paying update if necessary (or if there are some volunteer ashtanga coders even better)

Major bummer

Been using it on and off for years, but now too buggy. Does not work anymore.

Critical Bug - Awesome App

Hi Michael, Dear App Team,

I had been using your app for over 10 years now and love it. On and off, but I always enjoyed coming back to a familiar routine. There have been small problems with the app before, but nothing that ever prevented me from using it. Only small nuisances here and there.

However, unfortunately something broke with the latest app update that you just did and now when I go to play the sun salutations the audio and progress gets stuck and skips the whole sequence after the first inhale immediately jumping again to the first inhale (second round). If I manually progress to the next step it does the same error of skipping the rest of the sequence there. I could not find any workaround.

Please have a look and try to fix it. It should be easy to spot and hopefully fix. I’m on an iPhone 15 pro latest Apple software (26.2.1) and latest app update from the App Store (2.0.7 updated 3 month ago).

I don’t know if there are any local settings that could affect this, but if there is anything I could try please let me know!

Namaste,
Paul

What’s happened?

I’ve been happily using this app for years but they just updated it and now it doesn’t work. It repeats each step in the sun salutations 5 times over before moving to the next step. And now my phone turns off in the middle too - that’s changed. Please sort this. Then I can give you the 5 stars you deserve.
