I decided to look into the content before cancellation. The content has no video or sound. I can find no way to cancel. **Developer response:** We're sorry for any confusion. Currently, the app does not include background music, but you can play your own while using it. If you need further assistance, our support team is happy to help — please reach out via the support link on the app's page. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2024-09-10* This app said the first 7 days was free and then a charge. They charged my card and no won’t let me leave a message to get a refund SCAM **Developer response:** We're sorry for any confusion regarding the free trial. Charges are processed through the app store, and cancellations must be done before the trial period ends to avoid charges. Our support team is also available via the link on the app’s page if you need further assistance. ### 1/5 — Not free *2024-09-06* If you want exercises with instructions for free, this is not the app for you! You have to pay for a subscription to get anything! **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback! While the app offers some free content, a subscription is required to access the full range of exercises and instructions. We’ll continue working to improve the experience and provide value to our users. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ### 1/5 — How do I cancel? *2024-07-20* I am a beginner and I find it difficult to have to read the instructions.

Disappointed ### 1/5 — So bad *2024-04-29* There is no sound or instructions and screen goes black after 30 seconds so you lose sight of time I thought this was supposed to be step by step instructions **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Currently, we do not offer background sounds and you need to manually proceed to the next exercise. Please ensure you have the latest version of the app installed. If the problem continues, contact our support team using the link on the app page for further assistance. ### 1/5 — Failure on Day 1 - Don’t do it *2024-04-28* Multiple failures - Not all of the exercises have examples (a single picture sometimes drawing) of exercises, a timer with a number of reps but no hold time provided, and I signed up for a 7-day trial subscription and was charged for an annual on day 1. Then I tried “Contact Us” under profile 3 times and received “load failure” each time. I’m awaiting Apple response and a refund. **Developer response:** We apologize for the issues you've encountered. Our team is actively working to resolve the missing exercise examples and timer details. Please ensure you're using the latest version of the app, and if the "Contact Us" feature continues to fail, reach out to our support team directly via email. Thank you for your patience and for bringing these matters to our attention. ### 2/5 — No sound *2024-05-30* I am a beginner. Found it difficult to get into the spirit and relax when I had to read the instructions between exercises and then forward to the next. Not what I was expecting. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We understand that reading instructions between exercises can disrupt the flow. We're working on improving the experience and appreciate your input. Stay tuned for updates! ### 2/5 — Help required! *2024-05-06* Hello, I have tried the ‘Contact Us’ part of the app but I haven’t been able to send the following message… I downloaded your app over the weekend and was getting ready to start using it today. I set the days I’d like to work out and what I’d like the focus of the exercises to be but every time I go out of the app, these settings reset themselves to something completely different, not even the same alternatives each time. I don’t feel like I’m going to be able to use the app for what I need it for if I can’t adjust these settings, assuming these settings determine what exercises are recommended? Is there anything I can do to save my personal setting!? Many thanks. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please ensure you have the latest version of the app installed. If the issue persists, kindly reach out to our support team via the link on the app page for further assistance. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we'll do our best to resolve this issue promptly. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t help *2024-04-18* This app is weird. It doesn’t show you how to do the work out, there’s a small description of how to do them but it’s not my cup of tea. Will be deleting **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the app didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your input and are continuously working to improve our user experience. If you have any specific suggestions on how we can enhance our workout instructions, we'd love to hear them. Thank you for giving us a try! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is a daddy app *2024-07-23* DADDY UHHHHHHHHHHH **Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying the app! Let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions! ### 5/5 — User-friendly app *2024-05-27* This app is user-friendly and it has a clear and logical structure that makes it easy to navigate. It operates efficiently and smoothly. Its consistent aesthetic adds to its appeal. The use of graphics, such as calendars and progress trackers, instead of just text, not only breaks up monotony but also enhances engagement. **Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful feedback!

We'll continue to strive for excellence in providing you with a great experience. ### 5/5 — Very nice app for stress relief! *2024-05-06* I randomly stumbled upon this app in search of something that contains a yoga regimen. Somatic did not disappoint. It provided me with a custom program that I follow three days per week. I have noticed increased mobility in my joints since starting. Give it a try! **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Somatic has helped improve your mobility. If you have any friends or family interested in yoga, feel free to recommend the app to them as well. ### 5/5 — Good app *2024-04-09* Somastic takes personalization to the next level by offering tailored workout routines based on your fitness level, goals, and preferences. Upon signing up, you'll be prompted to answer a few questions about your fitness background, goals, and any equipment you have access to. Using this information, the app generates customized workout plans designed to help you reach your objectives efficiently. **Developer response:** Thank you for your insightful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you appreciate the personalized workout routines. We're glad that the initial setup and customized workout plans have been effective for you.
