wrong age
says itโs to be used by 13-year-olds and older but itโs actually for 16-year-olds and older.
Worth the subscription!
A great bonus for Strava subscribers. Especially if you are lazy about stretching like me!
Stale content and unreliable functionality when needed
Started having some new pain after a race recently, and hoped to take advantage of this premium subscription benefit, but body part specific recovery routines are not able to be generated. Tried different routines. Deleted old routines. Cleared cache. Deleted and redownloaded app.(lost all remaining routines) No change. No new routines Contacted support ๐ค๐ผ This on top of what is and has been a very limited content library and clunky interface has made this a much less useful, valuable, and now reliable app than hoped and paid for.

Recovery programs gone
Sometime in the last week or two, my recovery programs disappeared.
Functionally Dead
The app hasnโt loaded new routines in forever and you have to pay for the stale routines it does have. Strava kind of ruined it.
Good But Very Glitchy
I like the mobility and stretching options it provides, but this app is so glitchy. I often have to open/close the app several times before I can get a routine to start, and the last few times Iโve tried to add it onto a Strava workout, the app freezes and I lose what Iโve just done.
Was a great app until Strava took it over
Was a great app until Strava took it over. Specifically now the interface is not as user or recovery content friendly. Additionally has way too many actions and permission asks to setup, get started, or add a program. The app has much less recovery content and in its place data tracking interfaces.
Can u plz!
Can u plz have the audio not automatically play when going through the stretches.
No arm injuries
Looks good if you donโt have arm injuries. Useless for Tennis Elbow!
Love it
Great app I love using it for new routines and working off the soreness after races and long runs.
Not worth it
I thought this would be a great app that integrated with Strava, but with Stravaโs recent move to kick out third party access itโs no longer worth the subscription.
Great start! Canโt wait to see it grow!
The integration with Strava is great. The ability to tune workouts to where your body needs the most help with soreness is an amazing feature.
There are three things each worth a 1/3 of a star from me if added:
1. HealthKit integration to write to Apple Health and read HR data from the Watch.
2. Automatically advancing timer with beeps and verbal prompts so I can start a stretch workout hit start and have it beep when to switch sides or progress.
3. Additional automated post workout stretches programs.
With those three things itโs an automatic 5 โญ๏ธ!

Videos donโt play
The content is good when it loads. But I can never get videos to play. Will often have to wait for at least a minute to see the animation startโฆ load times should be much quicker when these are simple, few second long repeating animations
Too expensive
Itโs a great app but too expensive for me. I am broke and just looking for an easy at home outlet. Deeply saddened by the price
Pay Walled App
Strava advertises for this app, and makes it extremely straight forward to download the app. At first I was super excited about it, and ready to start adding mobility and stretching to my daily routine. But as soon as I opened the app I realized that almost everything on it is behind the Strava subscriber pay wall. I deleted it immediately and returned to the Nike Training Club app, where most of the stretches and exercises are free.

Really works to address pain
I used it for post-run back pain and it produced a short workout / stretch tailored to my training history AND IT WORKED IN MINUTES - my back pain disappeared. Amazing.
French translation
Would be nice to have a translation of the app as the names of the body parts are hard to know in multiple languages and itโs easy to do mistakes.
Unable to get started
Requires a Recover account. Fine, I make one. Then it requires a Strava account with no option to skip. Fine, Iโll try to do that too. It wonโt let me make an account with Strava. Gave up.
Excellent .
Clearly developed by a team of athlete engineers. Though I love working out, I have little patience for fitness/training apps. Iโve been feeling a little beat with the spring soccer season ending though so I decided to try Recover through my Strava subscription. It is perfect. Such appreciation for quality engineering. Incredibly user friendly, informative without being overwhelming, lots of useful features without being glitchy or tedious. From one engineer/athlete to another - excellent work and thank you.

Custom Routine Improvements Sorely Needed
I like the app and the ability to follow pre-determined routines or create custom ones. But I think the custom experience would be much improved if I had the option to just search the name of the exercise I want to do instead of having to click through muscle groups and equipment. Itโs also very annoying that when building a routine, I canโt go back to a previous muscle group after adding exercises to my routine without having to start over from scratch. With the current setup, I have to remember or write down what I previously selected as I go through multiple muscle groups.
