Good content/Not so good app

This app is worth all the money for the photo content but unfortunately the app doesn’t function properly and requires updating.

Stephen Silver, thank you for the awesome content.

App developer Johnny B. please fix and update this app.

Videos don’t work?

Great app!! All the images are great and I love using them to practice and warm up but sadly none of the videos work which is really disappointing.....

Great resource - would love an update!

Love this app. I do wish it could be updated for further iPad functionality - like split screen, or rotating to landscape mode. Otherwise, these are great poses! So much better than what you find online for free.

Nice reference

I’m loving the reference in this app so far. Only comment I’d provide is I wish it would get updated for the new iOS and there’s some issues with scale of the UI and rotating the app on my iPad. Other than that it’s awesome :)
