## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2018-10-25*

Ads are an annoyance and does not allow music to play- waste of space!

### 1/5 — Update

*2018-03-20*

After update, as previous users stated sound does not work unless you have phone ringer on. Also app used to keep screen from going to sleep. Now screen goes to sleep and stops the counter frequently, very inconvenient to have to stop stretching to unlock phone to resume counter

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm very sorry about these bugs.  I had to completely rewrite the app due to newer versions of iOS not supporting the old code.  The sleep and sound issues have both been fixed.  Sincerest apologies, please let me know if you have any more issues.  

Thanks,

### 1/5 — Can’t reset the rest time

*2017-09-24*

I wanted to reset the rest time to zero. But the app reset to five seconds

### 1/5 — Ads

*2017-03-11*

No option to pay for ad-free version. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Way too many ads

*2015-07-18*

App works fine but ads on the screen all the time plus full page ads that pop up and you have to dismiss? No thanks, other stretching apps that actually care about user experience. This app deleted.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2019-12-05*

Only allows for a single timer. No good if you need multiple timers for different exercises

### 3/5 — Audio prompts stop music and podcasts

*2019-04-10*

This is a great app, and works just as I would want it to. EXCEPT, I can’t listen to podcasts or music while using it because every time there is a verbal prompt, it stops my podcast or music. Hope they fix this soon.

### 3/5 — Good app but lacking

*2019-03-16*

I’ve used it for two years and my only want is that it can run in the background while I Also do other things

### 3/5 — Need more sound options

*2015-05-13*

Would be great if it had the option to pick a sound other than having to hear "STRETCHHH" every time. Like u don't know that's what you're doing already. How about a soft bell, doesn't have to be obnoxious sounding just a nice little "ding".

### 5/5 — Almost Perfect

*2022-03-28*

This app is absolutely perfect, especially when compared to other stretching apps. It has audio prompts for stretching and resting, and allows you to set the number of repetitions and your cooldown time which I think are all necessary features. Only problem is that you can’t listen to music while using the app which is a bummer but this is still the best stretching app I’ve found to date.

### 5/5 — Great for PT stretches

*2018-03-30*

This app is great for timing physical therapy stretches without counting. I can relax into the stretches more when I’m not counting. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Works like a dream!👍

*2015-07-15*

There should also be an option to stretch in the center. When you are stretching your middle split you lay in the center as well as reach side to side. That should be an option when you are setting the timer up.  The sound is good for me and the app itself is improving my flexibility.Over all this app works like a dream.

### 5/5 — Easy to use and does the job

*2014-08-26*

Cool idea that helps you focus on your muscles and not your watch

### 4/5 — Ok

*2018-09-26*

Wish it worked in background so I can do other stuff while stretching.

### 4/5 — Simple and Easy

*2015-11-07*

I like it a lot! Sometimes you just don't want to get bogged down with many options. But looking forward to an upgrade that removes ads and gives you several timers if you have exercises with different requirements.
