The most profound things in simple packages

I use this app as often as I can. I find it very relaxing and simple to use. There are levels to achieve which encourages you to practice often. Ok, it’s not going to teach you the ‘Yang short form’ Tai Chi or anything close to that. But anything that gets me on my feet is a winner with me. IMHO - it’s one of the best, most useful little apps on the store.

I love this app

First: this app isn’t a game. The levels are helping you find the pace of your movements. First, you start by holding the phone and looking at it. Then, you progress to holding the phone and not looking at it. Then you work up to slipping the phone in your pocket and swaying by audio feedback only. Gaining a level isn’t a reward; losing a level isn’t punishment. This is about teaching and training about finding the sway speed. Levels are really irrelevant.

Second: audio feedback is key. It will provide you with gentle reminders when you’re moving too quickly or too slowly. It’s normal to hear this feedback when you slip your phone into your pocket. It also happens if I try a new movement and I have to move to keep my balance. I’ll get a “you’re going to fast” maybe once or twice in a 20-minute sway session. It’s not a punishment if this happens, it’s just feedback.

Last: sway as long as time permits. Some days, I have 10 minutes to sway. If I lose a level, it doesn’t matter. Even at level 1, I can sway with my phone in my pocket for 15 minutes the next day. The levels only matter for beginners, not those who have the sway speed down.

I bought your app by mistake. Just wanted to make a screenshot, but Touch ID decided to buy the app. How can I return my money back? The app even doesn’t installed on my iPhone.

Looking forward to hearing from you
