Tai Chi at Home User Reviews

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to try out our app, and for leaving a review. We do understand that $12.99 a month might be too much for some who want to learn tai chi. We've tried to balance this a little by offering a number of free lessons on the app that you don't even have to register to access. This includes the first 4 moves of the White Crane form which, as a student myself, allows for an amazing foundation in tai chi and is a relaxing mini-form in its own right. We also offer a big discount on a yearly subscription, which is only $79.99. Or just $6.67 per month. A large proportion of our subscribers take up this offer, which is almost half the cost of the monthly option. The reason we offer such a generous discount for the yearly subscription is that it helps us plan what new content we can create over the next year to add to the library of lessons. We want every lesson to be something that not only introduces new exercises and techniques, but also works with all the other content to create a library of lessons that allows as many people as possible to experience and enjoy tai chi. And I think it's worth noting the work that goes into creating a course for the app. Pre-pandemic Mark (the instructor) was travelling to China at least twice a year to learn new forms and improve those he'd already learnt. He now spends hours every week learning remotely with his instructor, and multiple hours more practising all that he's learnt over the last few decades. It takes years of practise before this can be taught either in person or online. It makes my task of filming and editing of the actual lessons seem easy, but it's actually taken us 5 years to build up the library of lessons on the app. Hopefully this explains a little bit about why we charge what we do and how you can find even better value by taking out the yearly subscription. And even if you still think a paid subscription's not for you I promise that you will still get plenty out of the free lessons available.
