### 4/5 — Easy, clean, and simple to use.

*2021-08-24, version 3.1*

Thanks for putting this app together!

It’s simple, clean, and EXACTLY what I was looking for - a quick and easy app to help me with post-run stretching.

### 5/5 — Simple, straightforward, effective

*2020-11-02, version 3.0.2*

This is a very simple and straightforward app for stretching exercises. And free! No registration required at all. Only a small ad banner at the bottom in main screen and that’s it. It’s just great and works as intended. I would pay or just tip the developer just because of the service this app has provided to me. 

My personal feature request would be:
* Tip jar and/or remove ad with payment
* Apple Watch app
* Remove item from Warm Up/Cool Down. 
* HealthKit and Fitness integration to save workouts and activity data. 
* Dark mode
* Widget to start predefines warm up/cool down right from Home Screen. 

Thank you for this app.

### 4/5 — Highly recommend

*2019-10-30*

Great app for pre/post run stretching. The images are helpful for learning each type of stretch, and the voice guide makes it easy to use without having to look at the screen.

**Developer response:** Please upgrade the app. I have fixed the issue.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2019-10-25, version 2.4*

So glad you fixed it! Best stretching app available

### 4/5 — Audio for Apple Watch plz?

*2019-09-23, version 1.7*

This app is awesome! Could you make the app on the Apple Watch have sound just like the one for the phone where the timer counts down and there’s a voice for each stretch along the description? For some reason there’s no audio on the watch & it seems like the visuals for stretch go by faster than on phone. Looking forward to this :)

### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good

*2019-02-06, version 1.7*

Simple and effective. Swapped out 2 exercises for alternative stretches (calf and glutes) as they provide a better stretch. But deserves 5* as helps me habitually stretch after running and holding the stretch which I usually skip.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2018-04-08, version 1.7*

A great app to make you warm down for the right amount of time rather than rushing. One additional feature for the Apple Watch would be for the watch to buzz when you need to finish one stretch and start next.

### 5/5 — Simple stretch for running

*2018-04-03, version 1.7*

This app is great. It’s very simple and easy to use. I’m better at remembering to stretch when I have an app telling me what to do. It has ads but not the annoying pop up kind that are so invasive you can’t use the app. My only complaint is that it doesn’t tell you how long the stretch time is. I think they’re about 5-10 minutes but it would be nice to know the total time before I start.

### 3/5 — Apple Watch alerts

*2018-02-13, version 1.7*

Desperately needs feedback from the watch directly! You can’t stretch and monitor the images on the watch at the same time. We need audio and/or haptic response.

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2017-12-16, version 1.7*

Great idea and works well. Just a few tweaks such as a longer delay in between switching sides.
