### 4/5 — Not too many sessions

*2026-07-07, version 18.1.0*

It is a great app but it could be so much better it there would be more sessions. The description says 27 diferent sessions but that is rather misleading. There are only three different sessions which are not even that different from each other. You can choose from a 30, 45 or 60 minutes long version in three difficulties. Plus there are two versions of sun salutation also in three difficulties but there is minimum if any difference.  You can choose how many repetition of these you want. Othervise the voice is calming, the illustrations are very nice and there is a great collection of poses that you can go through. Unlocking more environments is fun. So everything works great and I really like the app overall but I don't use it often since the sessions are so similar and heavy on arms. Also the beginner level is kind of hard even though I don't consider myself a beginner.

### 4/5 — I like this!

*2026-06-18, version 18.1.0*

I love the app and the features that are available, but if I was to write something negative, I would say that it doesn’t have a feature where you can make your own sequence.

### 3/5 — Apple Watch connectivity issue

*2026-05-26, version 18.1.0*

Apple Watch keeps disconnecting during the practice. Within couple minutes after the start the Apple Watch shows its main screen and heart beat is no longer available in the phone app.

### 3/5 — Customizable routine

*2026-05-02, version 18.1.0*

With a bunch of poses i feel like there should be an option to create your own routine, a lot of the advanced poses aren’t featured in the preset routines.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-04-18, version 18.1.0*

Overall very good app! I like that it’s not a subscription and just a one time payment(currently) when compared to many other yoga apps!

A lot of great vinyasa practices here with some variation.
I would like to see them develop and add other types of yoga practices as well such as yin!

### 4/5 — hallo

*2026-02-02, version 18.1.0*

deutsche version wäre besser

### 4/5 — Still need 2 tweaks for Apple Watch

*2026-01-05, version 18.1.0*

I don’t know how some people get a response from developers, I never can ! Wherever I try to contact them. This app is great only if you buy Teacher too, which is totally fine cause together, it’s not expensive. However, I’m hard of hearing and I bought these apps to use with apple watch, as it was claimed. But the apple watch screen doesn’t stay ON for a whole session, like it should be for any workout practice. And, it doesn’t vibrate when the pose changes. Basically, it’s completely useless on Apple Watch. I don’t mind needing the iphone to have the session on the watch but just adding vibration and always on display during the session would be a super game changer !! So PLEAAAAAASE ! Read your reviews or answer. Please 🥺
Also, it would be great to have the option to sort our sessions. I’m not certain how they are sorted, it’s confusing. It’s like different alphabetical packs.

### 4/5 — nice, but…

*2025-12-11, version 18.0.1*

it would be amazing if you could open others users practices and not only see them on the web :( 
i guess thats only available on the other app (pocket yoga teacher) so BUY THAT ONE instead of this one

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-10-02, version 18.0.1*

Super application, vivement qu’elle soit en français.

### 2/5 — UPDATED review 2025

*2025-09-16, version 18.0.0*

I needed help getting access to my account again but got no response from customer service. I have no access to the background I'd unlocked, my practise history, or my karma points.  Shameful lack of response to a paid customer. 2 stars. Caveat Emptor. 
*************

Pocket yoga is great! It's not a subscription app, which is a BIG plus in my book. There are three sets of routines, each with a beginner, intermediate, and advanced level, and you can practise 30 min, 45 min, or an hour on each. There is also a sun salutation routine with two versions. 

I'd gladly pay for in app purchases if they would make new routines, as all three sets of routines are similar, with slight variations. Would also like to see shorter sets, say, 15 minutes. Kudos to the developers for making such a reliable app without charging a subscription!

### 5/5 — Muy buena ojalá sigan ampliando

*2025-09-07, version 17.0.0*

App muy buena para aprender Yoga y practicarlo de manera guiada y muy intuitiva, genial que se conecte con Apple health y que muestre de manera visual cómo hacer cada postura, solo le pediría que siguieran ampliando el número de sesiones, pero por el precio de 3€ merece mucho la pena las 3 completas mas otras 2 breves que ya te incluyen a día de hoy

### 5/5 — Pocket Yoga

*2025-08-27, version 17.0.0*

Tolle App, einfach zu handhaben, ist weiterzuempfehlen.

### 4/5 — Awesome, but would be great

*2025-08-25, version 17.0.0*

I love my pocket yoga. I just wish there was more practises available than the three flows and the sun salutation. I would gladly pay a higher premium to have access to more sessions.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used to be good. Now it’s bad.

*2026-08-08, version 18.1.0*

I love the app’s simplicity. It used to always work with my Apple Watch. Now it disconnects half the time in the middle of a session.

### 1/5 — Waste

*2026-07-17, version 18.1.0*

Nothing you can’t get for free and the best part is you can’t see any of it without paying for it. That’s why I’m leaving this review. There are many resources out there and compared to many free options this one is underwhelming.

### 1/5 — Only for women

*2026-04-12, version 18.1.0*

Only for women.

### 1/5 — Redundant and lacks creativity

*2026-03-30, version 18.1.0*

Very repetitive yoga flows, got bored after 2 weeks

### 1/5 — Not beginner-friendly app

*2026-03-19, version 18.1.0*

Despite the fact that the app has a "beginner" option, the poses are still too difficult to perform if you don't have years of experience and a well-trained body. If there were at least voice instructions for simplified versions of the poses, it would be much easier. This is frustrating, and it should be mentioned before purchase. For me it was useless because of this.

### 1/5 — The app is good but the Apple Watch app is the worst

*2026-03-15, version 18.1.0*

The Apple Watch itself doesn’t even show the yoga exercises it only comes to life if you open something on iPhone that is a very poor limitation of the app and discourages me from using it . I will delete the app for Apple Watch because seriously it’s pointless

### 1/5 — App not starting on iPhone 15 pro

*2025-07-24, version 17.0.0*

When opening the app, the app immediately crashes and returns to home screen. Have not seen this with any other app before

### 1/5 — Idioma

*2025-07-08, version 17.0.0*

Adicionar português Brasil

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2025-06-01, version 16.0.0*

Don’t waste your money on this app. Better watching a YouTube video

### 1/5 — Can’t Create Own Workout

*2025-02-05, version 16.0.0*

You would think that an app as old as this one would’ve by now added the ability to form your own workout. It’s not a difficult feature to add.

### 5/5 — Helpful App

*2026-08-06, version 18.1.0*

This is probably my most used exercise related app. I’ve had it for years. I enjoy the features for different levels, the preview of poses and dictionary/descriptions. The audio is nice. I think the calories burned is overestimated, but I do like that it connects the workout to Apple Health. All in all this is such a solid and helpful app for my practice.

### 5/5 — So simple to use. Perfect

*2026-06-28, version 18.1.0*

Easy, simple to follow. No clutter. I’ve used this for years!

### 5/5 — Love Pocket Yoga

*2026-06-01, version 18.1.0*

I’ve been using this app on and off for about 20 years. I love it!

### 5/5 — Favourite app

*2026-03-30, version 18.1.0*

6 years of great mornings. Simple, easy to use, love it!

### 5/5 — Cosmic

*2026-02-14, version 18.1.0*

Obviously fantastic!

### 5/5 — 10 plus years of enjoying this app

*2026-02-13, version 18.1.0*

I’ve used this app for 10 plus years, and have yet to find a yoga app or program that’s better.

### 5/5 — Favourite yoga app

*2025-12-27, version 18.1.0*

This app is the difference between me doing yoga 5-6 times per week or not at all. I absolutely love it and appreciate the different practice options with different levels of intensity.

### 5/5 — My favourite app

*2025-11-21, version 18.0.1*

The best app on my phone. I try to use it every day

### 5/5 — My favourite yoga app

*2025-11-09, version 18.0.1*

An excellent accompaniment to my yoga practice. The flows range from gentle to very challenging and I can get a really good workout in just 30 minutes. Highly recommended…⭐️

### 5/5 — Me encanta!

*2025-10-10, version 18.0.1*

Muchas gracias por crear esta aplicación sencilla para los que estamos conociendo el mundo del yoga, por problemas médicos no puedo entrenar con pesas y esta aplicación ha sido mi salvación para mi cuerpo y mente. Sería genial que tuviese una buena sincronización con las actividades del Apple Watch, porque no me refleja mis pulsaciones de forma correcta en la app.
