### 4/5 — Library

*2026-07-30, version 18.1.0*

I like the app. It’s very useful for designing yoga sequences.

I didn’t give it 5 stars because of the way the library is organised. To find a saved practice, you have to scroll endlessly from right to left. There is no way to search by name, which makes finding anything frustrating and time-consuming. This is an area that really needs improvement.

### 3/5 — Account required

*2026-07-28, version 18.1.0*

There's no way to browse pose reference without creating a sequence. Purchasers can  create a sequence, but account creation and login  are required to load practices. Basic app has a better interface for browsing poses.

### 2/5 — No

*2026-01-05*

The app doesn't have Sanskrit translations of asanas.

### 4/5 — A handy app that I needed so much.

*2025-11-23*

I really miss syncing with iCloud! Add this, please, otherwise I have to forward it to myself (I edit on my phone, but I study on my iPad). The idea of the app itself is very good. I use it for quick abandonment of yoga practices. One more wish: to update the catalog of asanas, add text descriptions to them according to their practice.

### 3/5 — Accessibility for visually impaired users

*2025-06-25*

Hello Pocket Yoga team,
I am a blind user and I would like to thank you for the app, which has been a very helpful tool for my yoga practice. However, I’ve encountered an important accessibility issue: the names of the poses are not properly labeled for screen readers like VoiceOver.
This makes it impossible for me to identify the poses when creating or following a custom sequence. Additionally, I’m unable to manually label the elements, which greatly limits my independence when using the app.
I kindly ask that you consider adding accessibility labels to the pose names and buttons, so that visually impaired users can navigate and practice more independently.
Thank you very much for your attention and for your work. I’d be happy to help with suggestions or testing if needed.
Sincerely,
Thaís Oliveira

### 3/5 — Apple Health?

*2024-12-08, version 16.0.0*

Please connect this app to Apple Health or allow to open practices in Pocket Yoga app.

### 3/5 — No Sanskrit? Disappointed

*2024-10-14, version 16.0.0*

I would not have purchased if I knew this app did not give you the Sanskrit associated with each pose.

### 4/5 — Would be perfect if it had better filters

*2024-06-13, version 14.3.0*

I love the “suggested” section here, it helps me A LOT as I’m thinking through the sequence. However, when I want to add my own flavor to the sequence, it would be nice to go through the list of poses with certain filters, rather than having to recall specific poses from memory. For example, Tummee has filters for the chakra, type of posture (balancing, stretching, strength), and body part it focuses on. If these filters were available here, I’d consider this app perfect!!!

### 2/5 — Can’t connect to Community!

*2024-06-10, version 14.3.0*

I have done everything that I can think of and it still won’t connect.  So frustrating!

### 4/5 — Lots of good and a good price but needs tweaking

*2024-05-15, version 14.3.0*

It’s really good but somethings need to be changed. And QnA with developer would sort it out

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2023-12-13*

Für die kostenlose App ist sie toll, einfach zu bedienen 🙏

### 4/5 — Bulk settings and other improvements needed

*2023-08-11, version 13.0.0*

Thanks and kudos to the developers for this! I’m new to yoga and bought a book with sequences that I wanted on my phone, and ended up getting this. While I’m glad I did, a few suggestions to the developers after a few days of use: 1) Add bulk settings to added poses! I have to manually change each pose to, for example, 30 seconds with countdown. Doing this for each pose is quite tedious. 2) Add more info to the TV when mirroring, such as what you see on your phone (time, next poses, etc.). 3) Improve screen mirroring overall? For some reason sound sometimes drops (maybe it’s my TV?). 4) Add a few more perhaps non-yoga yet useful poses, such as the tried-and-true traditional squat. 5) Add a man as an option for the teacher? Not that I can’t follow a cartoon woman, but 99% of yoga apps/videos are women, signaling that real men don’t do yoga. Reinforcing such gender stereotypes is toxic to society. 6) Add a subscription option? While this would cost me more, I’m happy to support continued development :)

### 5/5 — Love this Yoga App

*2023-07-13, version 13.0.0*

I’ve been looking for ages for a Yoga App that lets me choose my own poses.This app is perfect.Lots of poses to choose and allows you to pick how long you hold pose for.Good instructions and a choice of voices.I have a back injury and I like to build up my number of poses as my strength improves.Probably best for someone with a small amount of yoga experience.

### 2/5 — White woman aren’t the only people who practices yoga

*2023-07-11, version 13.0.0*

I love the app, and the functionality of the app, but It would be really cool if they were different avatars other than just a white lady. I don’t feel comfortable giving the sequences to people I make them for because the avatar doesn’t look like that. representation matters.

### 2/5 — Too much work

*2023-07-03, version 13.0.0*

Class templates would fix this app, mostly. Building a sequence from scratch is a lot of work. This wouldn’t be so bad in itself, but you can’t copy a class that you created for use as a template either. Lastly, the app doesn’t sync between my iPhone and iPad to where I can see/use/edit the same sequences I’ve built on each device. I am unlikely to continue using this app. $4.95 down the drain!

### 4/5 — Good

*2023-07-02, version 13.0.0*

Great for getting sequences together with optional suggestions & the community with other peoples sequencing to follow.
I’ld love to see all the Sanskrit names added then I would give 5 stars.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 6€ für nix

*2026-01-31*

Leider gar nicht schön gestaltet schwer zu konfigurieren. Wird direkt wieder gelöscht.

### 1/5 — It lost days of my work

*2026-01-25, version 18.1.0*

I spent literally days refining my sequence and enjoying the app playing it back to me as I went. I saved it early on, but only as a pdf because I didn’t know I’d needed to save it regularly as a Practice. Every time I opened the app, my practice was there. I didn’t know that I needed to save it separately. I thought it would just always be there when I opened the app or logged in. It’s just gone and now my precious, too-short, yoga time will be spent reprogramming rather than actually doing yoga. I’m very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Unable to save sequences

*2025-08-21, version 17.0.0*

All the sequences I have tried to create either disappear or shrink in between using the app

### 1/5 — Printouts way too small

*2024-02-08, version 14.3.0*

I printed some sequences and find them way too small to be of any use. Much better product in this area is the yoga sequencing app by yoganista.ch

### 1/5 — Integrate with Pocket Yoga.

*2020-04-21*

It will be better if this app can be integrated with Pocket Yoga app. This allows customisations of yoga sessions, which I believe is a must.

### 1/5 — Not User Friendly

*2019-08-11, version 7.0.2*

I downloaded this app hoping it would help me as a beginning YT to formulate meaningful sequencing. Not only are the poses not labeled, but they are extremely difficult to see. The timing is strange and the suggested poses don’t necessarily make sense (why would you go straight from mountain to an arm balance??). I am going to be requesting a refund as I have absolutely no time to waste on figuring this out.

### 1/5 — DO NOT CONSIDER IT !!!!

*2019-06-14, version 7.0.2*

They say in the SALES  spiel- you can use YOUR MUSIC or Spotify !!!!
BUT ! After paying for App, It only shows 1 OPTION !! And that is SPOTIFY PREMIUM !!!  Total Lie !! There is NO OPTION TO USE MY MUSIC LIBRARY !!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2018-11-22, version 7.0.2*

Missing too many main poses, pretty much all variations....very misleading only gave 1 star because I had too...can’t look before you buy....it’s a rip off

### 1/5 — Can't figure out how to use it

*2018-09-05, version 6.0.0*

This app drives me crazy. I can't figure out how to set up a practice! I accidentally tapped on a pose... Can't remove it. Found twist to the left from chair pose. Can't find twist to the right.

### 1/5 — Plz refund this

*2018-08-19*

I've bought another your 'yoga' application which has similiar picture. I dont need two.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Useful!

*2026-07-08, version 18.1.0*

I find this app very useful. I am able to put together a practice that focuses on the needs and challenges of my body. The practice I most recently created has been helping me recover after an extended illness in a way that gives me greater flexibility and improves my core strength.

### 5/5 — Better than Pocket Yoga Regular

*2026-05-06, version 18.1.0*

I don’t teach. I got this purely because I wanted to build my own workouts and not have too many repeating exercises between days because I have very sensitive muscles. I don’t use the companion app at all anymore because it is just a pain offloading the workouts and I don’t really care about the stats. So I just play my workouts that I build and adjust as needed in this app for FREE with NO SUBSCRIPTION and it’s great. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-12, version 18.1.0*

I am a newly certified, Yoga Teacher, and find this app to be so very helpful in creating sequences for my classes. Fairly easy to use with a great library of poses. I’ve only found a couple that weren’t there. I recommend this is the beginning app for any teacher or person trying to improve their yoga practice?

### 5/5 — An Essential Tool for Instructors and Students Alike

*2026-03-25, version 18.1.0*

Pocket Yoga Teacher is a standout sequencing app that caters to every level, from beginner to advanced. As a yoga content creator, I find it invaluable for building the Restorative Yoga sessions I share on my YouTube channel.
The app offers excellent customization, allowing you to change background settings and include, for you to add detailed class descriptions. These features are perfect for helping students understand the "why" behind a flow and refine their skills. I highly recommend this to teachers, students, and anyone looking to deepen their meditative practice.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-02-07*

With all options. Practical and intuitive.

### 5/5 — Best yoga app

*2025-09-05, version 17.0.0*

This is the best yoga app for designing yoga classes and sequences. So easy to use and user-friendly! Hundreds of yoga poses to choose from and different sets for including pauses and breaths. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Make your own flows

*2025-04-14*

Loved the app and the flexibility to create my own flows! So many options to choose from and the app gives you music, sections, repeat cycles, suggestions and more. Totally worth it!

### 5/5 — Yoga instructor

*2025-03-19, version 16.0.0*

I love the ease of selecting asanas to line up the flow of my classes. I like the quick glance thru poses to refresh my knowledge & skills as well as to explore different possibilities to/from poses with a swipe. The option to print is convenient too as I am newly teaching in the community & like to have a copy of my class…just in case.   Highly recommend the purchase.

### 5/5 — This is literally the best set of apps

*2024-09-06, version 15.0.0*

I geek out on creating a new practice or flow sequence, it’s so perfect, the instructions help you figure out what’s a good flow / transition. Then when done, you send it over to the other app, pocket yoga, and play it from there where it counts calories and other data for apple health. Love it!!! And no monthly fees!!

### 5/5 — Synchronisieren fehlt

*2024-02-13*

Es wäre megahilfreich, wenn man IPhone und IPad synchronisieren könnte.
