### 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

### 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.

### 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

### 4/5 — Great for choice and timing

*2017-10-09*

This app is great for building a stretching routine, timing it and tracking it over time. I just wish it had better descriptions of how to properly do the streches.

### 4/5 — Great Stretching App

*2017-05-25*

I am in the process of recovering from reconstructive foot surgery, so i am lifting for upper body using the dumbbell app from VT and decided to get this app for the days i am not lifting.  So far it is great! love the format and the versatility to develop a good routine... It would get 5 starts if there was more explanation on finding the proper stretch and breathing for those who are not familiar with how to do it.  Additionally, after reading a negative review bc there is no way to stretch alternative one sided stretches [i.e. Left side then right side] please be sure to set up the stretching movement 2x in your routine to get both sides of the body.  This is my 4th or 5th download of the VT series and am very satisfied with the product!

### 4/5 — Great

*2017-03-14*

Easy to use

### 2/5 — Non merci

*2017-01-01*

L'application est relativement complète mais particulièrement mal faite : elle est confuse et son ergonomie est très perfectible.
En outre, elle active par défaut le mode "analyse" qui transmet des données d'utilisation sans même demander l'avis de l'utilisateur (voir les paramètres de l'application dans la section "réglages" de l'iPhone) ; ce n'est pas acceptable.

### 2/5 — Da gibt es deutlich bessere Apps im Store

*2016-12-31*

Schlechte Stellungserklärungen und nicht wirklich schön designed.

### 4/5 — First time app user

*2016-11-06*

I've gone through one full body stretch and I'm looking forward to using the app on a regular basis as a cool down.

I wish the app would do a "left side" / "right side" stretch, although I was able to do 4 sets and just switch from side to side. 

Additionally I find the stretch videos a little too subtle. 

Lastly breath coaching would go a long way. 

Everything aside it's a great simple app that has plenty of stretches and tracks your progress. 

Well done and recommended!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-07-11*

It allows you to customize your stretching routine. I run and strength train, so I can I can set up different programs depending on which exercise routine I'm performing! It's true that the stretches are unilateral but all you have to do to remedy that is enter the exercise twice. Some people don't have 2 arms or 2 legs. Geez! Can't make everyone happy. It's an awesome app!

### 5/5 — Visual stretching

*2016-07-09*

Das ist die Beste Dehnungsübungs App ,die ich fand ... Super Übungen ,in die man auch wirklich hinein spüren kann und nach jeder Übung ist Zeit zum Entspannen  . Diese App ist toll aufgebaut und lohnt sich

### 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.

### 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!!!!!!

### 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...

### 1/5 — Pessima

*2017-10-16, version 2.4*

Soldi buttati, app fatta malissimo, compare un trainer statico, che non mostra come eseguire l’esercizio di allungamento, e muto tra l’altro, come passa essere utile un esercizio di allungamento senza far eseguire una corretta respirazione e senza mostrare il movimento devo ancora capirlo, tra l’altro non ti fanno provare l’app base e magari comprare la versione pro, a scatola chiusa, per poi scoprire che è un bidone.

### 1/5 — Rip Off

*2017-06-03*

This app is a rip off. For $4.99 one would expect more choices than are offered here, especially when there are numerous free apps that offer more with additional features absent from this app. Trust me, don't waste your money. To get any comprehensive selection of stretches requires $$$ that other apps offer for free.

### 1/5 — Vraiment nul,

*2016-10-26*

Avec toutes les offres qu'il y a sur le Web, ne perdez pas de temps et d'argent avec cette App.

### 1/5 — Зря потраченные деньги

*2016-08-23*

Неудобное Приложение

### 1/5 — Nul 👎👎

*2016-06-16*

Nul ! Acheté et aussitôt effacé. Je reviens à des applications gratuites qui sont bien plus clair et performante que cette application 👎

### 1/5 — Terrible; Stay Away!!

*2015-05-23*

When you select one set, and there is an exercise where you stretch both sides of your body (like stretching one calf at a time), the app doesn't automatically stretch BOTH sides.

There is no way to select anything other than "easy" exercises.

There is only 1 pre-made program for you.

### 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.

### 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

### 5/5 — Super practical and effective

*2017-11-30, version 2.4*

This is my fourth VT app.  Needed a stretch day to rest tired muscles...this is awesome.  These apps are simple, they offer a whole lot of variety and keep you coming back for more.
Thanks VT creators
