### 4/5 — Great app, needs improvement though.

*2025-04-24, version 1.20.12*

Long-time daily user for years now. Some things need improvement; however, For me, the most important thing is that the camera angles for poses must differ from what you've provided. You've got to be showing the poses from angles that make sense, particularly in the Beginner program. On Day 5, the Crow pose day, you start with a Tree pose, only showing the person from the side so we can't see what he's doing with his leg, and the very next pose only shows him from the waist up, so we can't at any time see his leg position. Why you would do this is utterly baffling. This sort of thing occurs at other points throughout the Beginner program as well. Also, starting the very first course of the Beginner program - Day 1 - with palm-lifted pushups is nuts; that should be later down the line. If you want to discourage new users, that's how to do it. Overall, using the app has been a great experience, and near-daily use for the past two-plus years has been transformational. Please consider updating the camera angles for clear demonstrations of the poses, consider showing and describing modifications, and keep up the excellent work.

### 2/5 — Home does not load

*2025-03-02, version 1.20.11*

Recently home tab stopped working. It just shows the loading, never finish loading. Other tabs work fine.

### 2/5 — Expensive

*2024-12-30, version 1.20.11*

It’s one of those apps where you have to sign up for a bunch of stuff before they tell you it’s $90 a year or $17 a month. Don’t know why apps can’t just be upfront about the price.

### 3/5 — Great app for the workouts; not so great on the customer service.

*2024-04-19, version 1.20.05*

I’ve used Skill Yoga as a paid subscriber in the past and currently do. It’s geared towards athletes, and the program is challenging. If you’re coming from the yoga programs in, say, Apple Fitness +, you will find these are different. There is an assumption that a Skill Yoga user has an athletic background, so these courses are geared toward this sort of user, and even the beginning courses are quite challenging.

There are two problems with the support. My user/password info works fine when logging into the app to do workouts; it works fine when logging into Skill Yoga on the web. However, if you need to contact support, there is only a “Support” tab in a link off the app, not on the website - that’s problem one. Problem two is that you must log in again to access these support features, and my login info gets rejected every time, even though I’m entering the correct information. I copied and pasted the support link into an email and tried opening it up on my computer, but to no avail; I get the same error message that I have the incorrect login info when I clearly have the *correct* login info. 

If you love yoga and want a challenge? Great app. If you want modifications or explanations of what you should focus on as you’re in the class doing it - similar to yoga on Apple Fitness +? - you’re not going to get it, but that’s not enough to dismiss Skill Yoga. The Apple Fitness + classes are great prep for the beginner classes in Skill Yoga.

The customer service/support has to be fixed. You need to give your subscribers access to support. My login info is fine; please fix your Support section. I have questions that, thus far, you’ve given me no way to ask. Having access to support is good for the customer and good for business. You want to retain your paying customers, I would assume. Please fix your support section.

### 5/5 — Feels like a personal trainer @ home

*2023-09-25, version 1.19.97*

This by far the best, personalized yoga app there is. Wicked Awesome. Feels like one on one instruction with the advice they give you after you rate a yoga workout series.

### 5/5 — Excellent course

*2023-09-10, version 1.19.97*

Highly recommend for people who have no time to go to a yoga class, but still love yoga and want to learn yoga and stay fit but on their own time and in the privacy of their own home. It is a very organized course.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-08-26, version 1.19.97*

I’ve been using Skill Yoga app for sometime now. Thoroughly enjoying it.

### 5/5 — EXCELENTE APP YOGA MASCULINO

*2023-07-19, version 1.19.6*

Esta aplicación tiene diferentes niveles y la persona puede irse adaptando según su desarrollo deportivo. Las sesiones de meditación son muy valiosas. La plataforma te permite estar en forma practicando yoga en cualquier lugar del mundo con wifi.

### 5/5 — Yoga without the woo woo part

*2023-07-11, version 1.19.6*

Great for strength, recovery and mobility. Challenging. Masculine. Focused on fitness rather than spiritual aspect of yoga. Love it.

### 5/5 — Simple, elegant, challenging

*2023-07-05, version 1.19.6*

This app is truly a breath of fresh air. It’s focused, leaves out all the contrived fluff often associated with yoga, breath work, meditation.

Be ready though. It’s not kidding when it says it’s for athletes. Even the beginner material is challenging if this is your first foray into Yoga or are just generally starting with a weaker core and limbs. However, I still HIGHLY recommend for any level (total rookie myself) because at no point does my weakness feel discouraging.

The detached and modest nature of every exercise—from the narration to the athletes’ attire and background etc—provides a detached and stoic experience that lets you focus on what you’re feeling and how to improve…

…and less on how obviously wicked strong the demonstrators are.

The pose coach is pretty cool too…

### 5/5 — Visibly Stronger and much more Flexible

*2023-06-14, version 1.19.6*

I have been using the app constantly since April of 2020. This now how I begin my day each morning. At 63 years old I was skeptical never having done any form of yoga before but I found the programs clear and easy to follow. At 67 now I have never been in such great shape in both body and mind. I highly recommend the app. It’s never too late to learn something new.

### 5/5 — i love it!!

*2023-05-27*

ich hasse es wenn bei Sport aufputschende Musik läuft oder man ständig künstlich gelobt wird, ich meine man sollte Sport aus ganz anderen Gründen machen als nur von außen so künstlich motiviert zu werden. Mit Skill Yoga habe ich genau die richtige puristische App gefunden die ich lange gesucht habe!! Mit der ich jeden Morgen entspannt mit einem ruhigen starken Gefühl in den Tag starten kann! Ohbe viel Gerede oder Musik kann ich mich auf mich selbst konzentrieren! Das Angebot ist übersichtlich nach Kategorien aufgeteilt & durch unterschiedliche Models auch abwechslungsreich (inkl. anderer Stimmen) nur man hat es leider schnell durch. Es wäre schön, wenn mehr Inhalt generiert werden würde, damit es nicht langweilig wird, wenn man die Trainings regelmäßig wiederholt. Super finde ich auch dass das Training automatisch in Health angezeigt wird. Von Vorteil wäre noch definitiv wenn man mehrere Trainings gleichzeitig als „aktuell“ speichern könnte, damit man nicht jedes Mal wenn man zusätzlich (z.B ein Aufwärmvideo) trainiert, zwischen den aktuellen gespeicherten Trainings wechseln muss

**Developer response:** Hallo, 

wir freuen uns zu hören, dass dir die App gefällt. 
Vielen Dank für dein Feedback! Wir sind ständig bemüht, unseren Skill Coach zu verbessern, daher ist es wirklich hilfreich, das von dir zu hören. Dein Feedback wird an unsere Produktabteilung weitergeleitet, und wir hoffen, dass wir einige dieser Funktionen bald umsetzen können. Wir sehen uns auf der Matte!

### 5/5 — Skill yoga

*2023-05-01, version 1.19.6*

Enjoying this app. Have been following this for about 3 months consistently. Hard to begin with, but with time it gets easier to follow. Strength starts improving and allows you to focus on your weak areas. Flexibility improves with consistency. Still at the intermediate level for a while but enjoying.

### 5/5 — Excellent Yoga Program for Serious Athletes

*2023-04-02, version 1.19.6*

Finally a yoga plan for male athletes. 

This program addresses balance, range of motion challenges and tight joints seen often in larger men. 
This app offers excellent  stretching, strength and stability training. Upgrading to the paid pro version is definitely worth the investment.
If you’re a male athlete, recovering from an injury, feeling stagnant in your progress or seeking ways to take your game to the next level, this is the next step for you.

### 5/5 — 🤩

*2023-03-18, version 1.19.6*

I've never enjoyed exercising so much. Seeing my mobility and flexibility improve has been life changing. I always look forward to my next session.

### 1/5 — Advertises offers it doesn’t allow.

*2025-12-27, version 1.20.25*

For some bizarre reason this app shows me offers then when I try to purchase tells me the offer isn’t available. If so, don’t advertise. If you want my money, then take it. Bizarre.

### 1/5 — Great layout / horrible user experience

*2025-04-22, version 1.20.12*

I signed up for 7 day trial -only got one day.  I tried subscribing but kept getting error “offer not available” for every subscription choice.  Emailed support multiple times but never received a response.  Not worth the hassle -will find a different yoga app with a vetting & better user experience

### 1/5 — SCAM hard to cancel subscription

*2023-11-22, version 1.20.02*

I always bought and canceled my subscription at the same time so in the next year if I think it’s useful I buy another year. Yet I still got auto subscription and money deducted. I never received reminder email about oncoming bill as they claimed. I reached out to the customer service, and they requested evidence about the cancellation, the problem is you won’t get email when cancel either. The cherry on top of the cake is that their courses are so bad as well and not being updated once during the last year. AVOID THIS APP!!!

### 1/5 — 6 month update

*2023-04-19, version 1.19.6*

I started this program to help relieve some back pain. This program only aggravated it even more. There is no support and if they do respond they treat you like a number and don’t even listen to your concerns. This program will not teach you proper form and is only geared towards young and advanced yogis. I stoped using  the skill yoga app and looked for other apps. If you are in pain and need help!  stop using this app. I would suggest  “Man flow yoga” it is for everyone no matter you age.

### 1/5 — DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CARD INFO

*2023-03-28, version 1.19.6*

I signed up during the pandemic and thought the app was fine. Then in 2023 the auto-renewal came in and I went online and canceled. You can’t cancel in the app, you have to cancel online. However, you can pay in the app, which so weird. 

Then my bank tells me that Skill Yoga charged me multiple times and I told them to cancel. 

It got so bad that I had to get a new card and cancel my old one. A couple of weeks later they managed to get a hold on my new card info. I’m reporting this app to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for their fraudulent business practices.

THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT NUMBER OR EMAIL ON THE WEBSITE OR APP. They said you can reach out, but there is no one I can talk to. 

AVOID AT ALL COST

### 1/5 — SCAM hard to stop auto subscription

*2022-08-23, version 1.19.4*

The subscription is not in apple, you are automatically subscribed for a year subscription every year. You can not use the app to cancel the subscription. It’s dirty, there is no technical reason for that. Also, if you are charged by accident because you forget to go to a web browser and cancel your subscription. They will not care and will not give you a refund.

### 1/5 — Auto renewal

*2022-03-03, version 1.19.1*

When I signed up I remember chose not to auto renew . A year a later I got charged full amount for the year. Maureen said she wasn’t able to refund due to the autorenew policy. How convenient for them ... You can’t cancel on app either making it more difficult to cancel the autorenew. PS : I don’t have a computer / desktop so the option to cancel is not even available on the app. Rather dodgy, manipulative and ‘convenient’ so to say for you to leave it as such.

### 1/5 — This app is a scam and total waste of money

*2022-02-09, version 1.19.1*

They make it purposefully convoluted to be able to cancel your subscription. They must be a struggling business and users are fleeing as they will not issue a refunds for accidental renewals unlike most other apps. There’s no transparency. When I asked for a refund, they say “sorry you feel this way” instead of working with the customer. They have all the data on you, too by the way, so buyer beware.

### 1/5 — Nothing free!

*2021-09-05, version 1.17.7*

Why bother saying in app purchases, when it should just be a paid for app?
You let people go to the bother of signing up and then want an immediate purchase to try even the first routine… stop wasting people’s time

### 1/5 — Not for beginners

*2021-07-22, version 1.17.5*

They claim it’s great for beginners they start off overly challenging racing thru the routine as if ppl been doing it for years not the best routine for beginners

### 5/5 — Great home workout

*2025-10-01, version 1.20.25*

### 5/5 — Perfekt für Yoga ohne Spirituelle Einflüsse

*2025-06-10*

Tolle App. Habe gerade erst angefangen mehr Yoga zu machen und habe nach einer Alternative gesucht, welche den Fokus mehr auf die Kraft-, Mobilitäts- und Dehnungsübungen legt, als auf das Spirituelle. Und was soll ich sagen? Skill Yoga macht genau das und mit dem Preis vom Black Friday hat die App auch ein überragendes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis.

### 5/5 — Great for the older athletes

*2024-04-22, version 1.20.05*

Getting to an age where stretching and recovery are becoming more routine then lifting. This app is a perfect mix of strength and recovery. If you are an older athlete I highly recommend this app. I really enjoy the minimalist videos with the perfect narration through the entire routine. Easy to navigate and it has a great bank of yoga strength and recovery routines. The cost might be steep for some however I look at it as a membership to a yoga studio and these instructors should be paid for the effort they put into this app.

### 5/5 — Grateful.

*2024-04-10, version 1.20.05*

Great start to my mornings. 
With Gratitude, 
Dereck.

### 5/5 — Great or best yoga app

*2024-02-01, version 1.20.05*

There commentary along with video is really great, all the exercises, videos really in depth.
I like the 5 days program covers the entire body strengthening and flexibility, mobility.
Also single work out great as well if you want to focus on particular part of the body.

### 5/5 — This is worth every minute

*2024-01-19, version 1.20.05*

Honestly, I never was able to get into mediation or yoga until I got this app. They hold your hand all the way through, with practice and time you get better and the lifestyle has changed my life. I can see the beauty in the madness due to yoga and meditation techniques to help me find mental clarity. I have developed a morning and nighttime routine incorporating these habits. If you’re looking for an app that works and adds pretty often(I’ve done so many I wish they added more!) okay I need to go meditate. Hope this guides you in your new journey!

### 5/5 — Transformed back pain and flexibility issues

*2023-11-18, version 1.20.02*

Very good app for all levels. With a huge selection of individual workouts or complete courses. 
Possibly the best app I have for improving overall physical health. 
Back and neck pain is always better when I’m able to get the workouts in.

### 5/5 — Targeted mainly at men

*2023-10-10, version 1.19.97*

I’ve used other yoga apps. This is the most rewarding as it seems to be targeted at men. Workouts are challenging and hard work. Nice choice of sessions short and long.  Nice work would recommend.

### 5/5 — Todas as aulas grátis são muito boas.

*2023-10-05*

Ainda não testei o plano pago. Mas o que tem grátis está muito bom já que ainda estou começando. O melhor que encontrei

### 5/5 — Peterc

*2023-10-02, version 1.19.97*

Well worth your time and money
