### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-02-01*

Loads of stretches, multiple for different body parts. 

You can create your own programs and set for how log to hold each stretch and then rest and the app plays it out.

### 1/5 — Bad app with zero description

*2024-12-26, version 2.5.13*

Shows you one small picture of the stretch with zero description of how to perform it.

### 3/5 — You get what you paid for

*2024-10-14*

The app only has these exercises you’re seeing on the screenshots. Nothing else. Also, no parametrization for the routines like count left and right legs with separate timers. But it works. So 3 stars

### 1/5 — Ohne Anleitung

*2024-05-11*

Wie die Übungen ausgeführt werden wird nicht erklärt. Wozu braucht mann dann diese App?

### 1/5 — Don’t buy… it is a scam!

*2022-10-14, version 2.5.13*

App videos won’t download
I paid 4.99 for it not to let me see any of the workouts!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Not enough exercises

*2021-03-22*

Too easy, very small exercises selection, some video instructions are unclear. Disappointing even compared to VT Bodyweight.

### 2/5 — nice try, but ...

*2019-12-28*

What you should really change:
1) Most exercises concern one side of the body, but in the workout plans left plus right exercises are rare.
2) There are no explanations and the user has to know by himself, which mistakes he has to avoid.
3) There are unmotivated position changes in the workouts (sitting, standing, sittin).
4) As there are no explanations one does not know, which muscles are in the focus of an exercise. 
5) Alternative exercises would be nice to choose, as some positions might not be healthy or practicable in case of injuries.

### 1/5 — Videos won’t download...worthless

*2019-02-28*

I paid $4.99 for an app that won’t work... I’m not sure if the server is down or what, but the app will not download the videos therefore will not work at all...

### 5/5 — Diverse training app

*2018-09-13*

Very adjustable to individual training needs without fluff. I hope one day they add a yoga edition to the fold

### 4/5 — バージョンアップしたら（訂正）

*2018-02-01*

UIが変わったので勘違いしましたが、自分で組み合わせたものも使えてますので、先のレビューを訂正します
ですので、このUIでよければ、好みに合わせて組み合わせて、簡単に無料で使える、ということで、おすすめします
