### 3/5 — Prenatal yoga but no pregnant lady

*2026-07-07, version 8.2.5*

I enjoy the options for boosts and flows but I really wish the person you’re watching was pregnant as well. When you’re using her as an example there are movements I can’t replicate because I’m
Pregnant and she’s not. This is a PRENATAL APP, why wouldn’t you have your person also be pregnant. Even if it’s just wearing a fake belly at least the movements will be replicated more easily and in a realistic way

### 5/5 — Great prenatal flows

*2026-04-19, version 8.1.0*

Love the updated options to target specific prenatal needs with their vinyasa flows. Well-designed and with great customizations. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Loved how it adapts to trimesters

*2026-03-30, version 8.0.6*

Interesting practices that take into consoderation pregnancy stages and make work what needs to be worked pregnancy-wise such as the pelvic floor. Namastê!

### 5/5 — Çok faydalı

*2026-03-22, version 8.0.6*

Çok güzel faydalı bir uygulama. Normalde yoga ve pilates applerini kullanıyordum, ayrıca bir ödeme yapmadan aynı hesapla hamile yogasını da kullanıyorum. Hareket içeriği ve geçişleri çok güzel. Evde spor ve yoga için harika.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-03-16, version 8.0.3*

Great exercises

### 5/5 — Finalmente completa!

*2026-03-11, version 8.0.3*

Finalmente completa e graduabile su tutti gli stili e livelli!

### 5/5 — Pré natal

*2026-03-05*

Amei o aplicativo! Estou no meu primeiro trimestre da gravidez, o yoga pré natal é fantástico! Ótimas posições, bem calmo, uma delícia! Assim continuo fazendo exercício, da forma necessária para meu corpo

### 5/5 — So glad I downloaded this!

*2026-03-02*

I didn’t feel like weightlifting and on those days, I wanted to go back to something familiar like yoga without putting too much strain on myself when I’m tired. It felt really nice to get some gentle stretches in while still incorporating some familiarity, I really enjoyed it and I’m going to add it to my routine, I also liked the choices to customise the focus like on my pelvic floor, or my lower back. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Supportive, But Not Fully Inclusive

*2026-02-20, version 7.5.2*

Firstly, I really appreciate several aspects of the app:
	•	I love the variety of yoga styles available (restorative, hatha, gentle, labour prep). It allows me to choose what feels right depending on my energy levels and stage of pregnancy.
	•	The “2x Boost” function is excellent. Being able to focus on specific areas like pelvic floor, inner thighs, or lower back is incredibly helpful during pregnancy when certain areas need more targeted support.
	•	The customisation options (music and voice selection) are also a big plus. It makes the sessions feel personal and adaptable to different moods and preferences.

A few suggestions that I think would improve the experience:
	•	There aren’t many sessions featuring visibly pregnant models, particularly in the third trimester. At that stage, it’s especially helpful to see someone who is heavily pregnant demonstrating how poses are adapted and safely carried out. When models appear very lean or not visibly pregnant, it can make it harder to relate and may create uncertainty about whether poses are being performed in a way that feels realistic for a changing body. Including more third-trimester representation would greatly improve confidence and perceived safety.
	•	It would be very helpful to include a structured postnatal programme for the first few weeks after birth. A guided transition from prenatal yoga into the main app would make recovery feel supported and intentional.
	•	It would also be great to have session options that incorporate equipment such as yoga blocks, bolsters, or exercise balls, as many pregnant users rely on props for comfort and stability.

### 5/5 — Lo mejor

*2026-02-16, version 7.5.2*

Gracias, llevo años usándola y ahora que estoy en espera de bebé sigue siendo lo mejor

### 5/5 — The best app ever for yoga

*2026-01-28, version 7.5.2*

Couldn’t be happier, this app replaced my expensive yoga classes

### 5/5 — Спасибо!

*2026-01-28*

Отличное приложение, начала заниматься на 3 триместре. До этого йогой не занималась. Все очень комфортно, реально помогает, спина больше не страдает, спасибо!
Буду и дальше пользоваться вашими приложениями!♥️♥️♥️

### 4/5 — Bueno pero demasiado lento y suave, pocas opciones

*2026-01-20, version 7.5.2*

Pocas opciones de configuración, muy muy suave.  Podemos hacer mucho más evitando posturas no recomendaded.

### 5/5 — Marvellous app

*2026-01-12, version 7.5.2*

I have been using Down Dog for a long time (more than five years) and it is simply fascinating: the secuencies, the experience, the voices, the music ❤️

### 5/5 — Maravillosa

*2026-01-06, version 7.5.2*

Comencé con Down Dog en la pandemia y así conocí el yoga. Ahora estoy embarazada y es un amamacho al corazón saberme acompañada ahora en este proceso, por Down dog

### 5/5 — Best app out there

*2025-12-21, version 7.5.2*

I have been using these app for years now( yoga, HIiT and now prenatal) i just love everything about this app!

### 5/5 — Much needed self care!

*2025-11-12, version 7.5.2*

This prenatal yoga app really helped me stay active during my 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Yes - it can be a bit repetitive, but I didn’t mind that. I honestly just enjoyed getting to do yoga from home and adding this to my self care routine during pregnancy!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Well toned abs for women in third trimester!?

*2026-02-03, version 7.5.2*

I don’t understand why a visibly non-pregnant, very toned woman is demonstrating exercises for the third trimester. Many of the movements don’t look appropriate for late pregnancy, and that makes me feel unsure about their safety. Because of this, I don’t feel confident using the app.

### 1/5 — New classes

*2026-01-24, version 7.5.2*

I want to share feedback about the new prenatal yoga classes you’ve added to the app. Unfortunately, my experience with them has been very disappointing. 
1. The model no longer has a pregnant belly at all. She moves very fast, and it’s extremely hard to understand how I’m supposed to adapt to this pace with my current body size and limitations. Of course, it’s much easier to move quickly when you’re not carrying extra weight. Because of this, I feel lost during the practice — I don’t understand how to position my belly safely or whether I should even be considering it in these poses. 
2. You’ve also added Kegel exercises. While I agree that they are important and useful, they should have been introduced during the first or second trimester. At 34+ weeks, my doctors no longer recommend doing Kegels, as the focus at this stage should be on learning how to relax the pelvic floor muscles rather than tightening them. 
Overall, these new classes don’t feel adapted to the real needs and physical realities of women in late pregnancy

### 1/5 — Necesita adaptarse mas

*2025-12-05, version 7.5.2*

Me ha parecido muy poco adaptado al embarazo. Trabajar respiraciones… suelo pelvico…

### 1/5 — Tout payant

*2025-09-01, version 7.5.2*

Pour ma 1ere grossesse je l’ai utilisé c’était top mais maintenant tout est devenu payant. Vraiment dommage

### 1/5 — Перестало работать

*2025-06-16*

Приложение перестало загружаться

### 1/5 — Не удалось попробовать

*2025-06-13*

Сразу же после регистрации требует оплату , бесплатного обещанного периода не было, жаль

### 1/5 — Payante

*2025-04-15, version 7.5.2*

Impossible d’utiliser l’application sans s’abonner. Dommage, semblait vraiment cool !

### 1/5 — 差劲

*2025-01-15*

根本注册不了 垃圾软件

### 1/5 — С чего вы взяли что обладатели айфонов миллионеры.

*2025-01-09*

Ужасно у родственников на других телефонах бесплатно. С меня требуют подписки за 3000 в год.

### 1/5 — 2ヶ月目以降有料かよ！退会できるか不明⁉︎

*2024-09-10*

強制的に会員制で2ヶ月目から有料！ それも、1ヶ月目を試す前に会員登録を強制なので、自分に合うか不明な上に一度会員になったら退会＆支払い解除出来るか不明。 しかも、会員登録する前の時点では月額や年間費の金額は非公開なので金額は不明。 その状態で会員登録してしまったらどんなに高額請求されるか分からないし、そもそも退会＆支払い解除が出来るか分からないので凄く恐ろしです！ 他アプリでは一度会員に入ってしまうと退会する欄がないから使用しないアプリなのに月額または年会費を払い続けないといけないアプリが実際に存在してますので、此方のアプリは安全性が確認出来ない為怖いです。

### 5/5 — La meilleure appli de Yoga !

*2026-07-27*

J’utilise Downdog depuis des années et pour la grossesse j’ai utilisé la version prenantale et sincèrement c’est génial, les séances sont toutes différentes, adaptées à chaque trimestre de la grossesse, on peut faire plutôt tonic ou plutôt doux, à son rythme. J’ai vraiment limité les douleurs de la grossesse grâce à la pratique régulière avec downdog, je recommande à 100% !

### 5/5 — Perfect pregnancy yoga app

*2026-07-14, version 8.2.5*

This app is brilliant. I’ve had Down Dog before but not for a few years, but I am finding this invaluable during pregnancy, especially now I’m in my third trimester. I wake up aching every morning and look forward to doing a session because I know it will make me feel so much better. There’s lots of variety, even if you don’t change your options daily and being able to specify what you want to work on is so helpful. The time variations are great too to fit in as and when you can, and I find even a 15min session helps me. I honestly just wish I’d been able to start this earlier in my pregnancy. Highly recommend even if you weren’t a yoga user before pregnancy.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-07-09, version 8.2.5*

Love the options and the ease of setup. Makes it easy to squeeze in a quick session, or plan out something longer.

### 5/5 — Molto buono

*2026-07-06*

Perfetto

### 5/5 — Я благодарна

*2026-06-27*

Лучшее приложении по йоге! Много раз меня спасало. Все очень понятно, и столько доп функций можно настроить - счастье!

### 5/5 — Пропала беременная женщина

*2026-06-25*

В практиках ранее на демонстрациях была беременная женщина. Сейчас она пропала и я не понимаю все ли позы можно делать в моём положении. Помогите разобраться пожалуйста

### 5/5 — Love DownDog!

*2026-06-13, version 8.2.0*

I’m an over 200 hr trained yoga teacher, so I could lead my own classes, but I don’t. I love the options in DownDog. It is one of my few subscriptions! Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — La meilleure des applis dans sa catégorie

*2026-05-08, version 8.1.3*

Une application magnifique

### 5/5 — I’m a 7 year old boy and I thought this was great!!!

*2026-05-04, version 8.1.3*

I did this with my mum and she also thought it was great!

### 5/5 — Amazing app for pregnancy and mobility

*2026-04-30, version 8.1.3*

This app has been incredibly helpful in guiding me through exercises and movements during my pregnancy. It’s easy to customize everything to suit my needs, and I can adjust the workouts down to the finest details. It provides me with the flexibility to stay active and maintain my mobility safely. On top of that, I’m really grateful for the support I received — the team kindly extended my trial period and offered me a discount, which was a huge help during these difficult times. Thank you so much for your thoughtful support!
