This App is easy to follow and has subtitles for clarification. Great job YMAA- keep it coming!!! Thanks! ### 5/5 — A Qi master on my iPhone: love it! *2014-08-09* Great to see YMAA up to date with the current technologies. The quality of the videos is excellent. Instructions are easy to follow even on a small screen. Can't wait to see other products following (I will definitely need more space on my device). ### 5/5 — Tai Chi Ball Qigong *2014-08-08, version 1.0* Awesome! ### 5/5 — Terrific app! *2014-08-08* I really love this app and I'm now using it daily. It is easy to follow along with the videos. I recently purchased a beginners tai chi wooden ball 6" diameter 2-3 pounds from YMAA website to practice with. Getting in shape has never been so much fun! ### 5/5 — Very interesting, exciting new App!! *2014-08-08* I have enjoyed Dr Yang's ability to clearly describe complex topics and make them understandable! This app offers many insights and clear step by step techniques for beginners and challenges for those who already have worked with Tai Chi Ball Qigong! Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Thrilled.... *2014-08-08* I stumbled on these books by accident really, but in hind site it was what I needed at the time. I bought the book and now the app to go with it is awesome. I showed my instructor this app and he also got it. Would love to see more apps come out that center around the books also. ### 5/5 — A gift in your hands! *2014-08-05* This app is a perfect example of using today's technology for a positive and responsible purpose. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Tai Chi Ball Qirong *2014-08-01, version 1.0* Love this appt! ### 5/5 — What an amazing product! *2014-07-30* I never thought that I could learn tai chi ball right from my device. The app is easy to navigate and clear. I will be sure to practice everywhere I go, there is certainly no excuses anymore. ### 5/5 — Great Experience *2014-07-30* I have been through Dr. Yangs books and am new to the ball concept. This app provides a wonderful new way to experience Tai Chi! ### 5/5 — Really awesome app *2014-07-30* I am a huge fan of accessibility with an app. I watch lots of videos on my phone while on the bus and will get lost when I'm trying to learn something new. This app is perfect to tell me exactly where I am at in the series without having to remember what the last thing I did was. Also with such nice layout I can read the book and switch to the video and back again. Nothing is worse than being in a class and missing something that the teacher is doing. This app is really the perfect way to watch, practice, watch and practice again. 9.99$ for the entire set is totally a great price for all the content. ### 5/5 — Excellent App!! *2014-07-30* This app is great! I've attended Dr Yangs seminars and own more than a few book and videos. This app is a dream come true. Dr Yangs videos are the best instructional videos I've found. Over the last few years of Taiji Ball training it has helped my martial arts, Qi development and physical health. Thank You YMAA!! Keep em coming! ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2014-07-30, version 1.0* The best app ever! ### 5/5 — Quality Continued *2014-07-29* The YMAA is the premier marital arts organization in the US, in my humble opinion. Dr. Yang's books and videos are clear and packed with excellent material, and this app continues that fine tradition. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The content is useful. The app is useless. *2025-10-23* The app only ever worked on my old phone because the screen was too small. I decided to install it on my tablet; not only my purchase has not been restored. I contacted both Apple and YMAA Apple could not find any problems on the App Store while Y MAA ( Mr Silver ) had tried to wash their hands saying any problems with installing on other devices or restoring past purchases. It’s not their problem at all. They must be something to do with Apple and that they had some other problems on Apple device. Fast forward a few years I was able to eventually make the app function but I cannot tell you how that even happened again. Small screen mobile phone wouldn’t work on a new tablet again. Y is telling me there’s nothing to do with them, this year the situation has not changed much. They are still trying to tell me there’s nothing to do with them. Don’t need to be resolving it with Apple. I know other people who had similar problems and if they try to restore the app on another device, majority of the videos will appear locked if they had never purchased it or as if they restore process never happened. My cousin tried to reason with them again via emails they are clearly avoiding their responsibility. Do not waste your money. At the moment the app asks for 999 to unlock each of the locked videos which my cousin made a mistake of paying them and unlocked just one video much to his dismay ### 3/5 — Tai Chi Ball Qigong 1&2 *2014-09-26, version 1.0.1* I would like to thank the Tai Chi ball team for a well thought out program. I just finished watching the new app and I'm excited and anxious to start training. Great job!!! ### 5/5 — This is great for your back! *2026-07-02* I worked before with the dvd and book and this is an amazing full program. I love the app for the easy access to resource for shorter practices. ### 5/5 — Now streaming! Or download *2023-01-09* Love this app, and learning how to add the wood ball to tai chi movements. Great value for inexpensive IAP when compared to other available formats with these same lessons. Dr. Yang’s teaching is excellent. Years of information to learn and practice ### 5/5 — Great Taijiquan content *2020-07-30, version 1.0.6* This app contains the content from Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming's DVD Tai Chi Ball Qigong Disc 1 produced by YMAA. It contains Course 1 and 2 (Courses 3 and 4 are on Disc 2). Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming once again shows what a great teacher he is. The courses contain basic information on using the Tai Chi ball in your Taijiquan practice, as well as a lecture on Qi and Qigong. Dr. Yang's students demonstrate the techniques, and as he corrects and comments on his students the viewer obtains an in depth knowledge of the Tai Chi ball. I also own the DVD and by purchasing the app I am able to practice the courses without plugging my external SuperDrive into my MacBook. The navigability of the app is not as good as it would be if the courses were designed to be app-based in their original conception, however being able to view these courses on my iPad is extremely beneficial. ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-03-20* Dr. Yang has always provided a wealth of information. He gives clear instructions on important foundations. The videos are high quality. As usual, his videos, like his books, are excellent. ### 5/5 — Another great one from YMAA! *2015-10-02* Following up on the excellent app on Tai Chi this is another great app by Dr Yang on Tai Chi ball training. Dr Yang is a fantastic teacher and the app makes you feel like your in his class. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Top quality instruction *2014-11-24* I've been collecting and learning from Dr. Yang books and DVDS for years. The Y.M.A.A has been doing an excellent job bringing the deeper knowledge of Chinese martial arts and Qigong to the west and this app is no exception. ### 5/5 — I wasn't sure, but I am now *2014-10-27* I wasn't sure about tai chi balls until I watched this app, now I am! Now I want to purchase the ball from YMAA and get serious about studying this form. Dr. Yang is the world's best teacher, so I am ready to learn more. ### 5/5 — Very cool *2014-10-09* Tai chi ball is a fun and excellent way to build strength (gently!). It’s amazing how these simple exercises build core strength safely. Secret: You can use any kind of ball. Softball, soccer ball, basket ball. Of course, when you want to really go deep, a wood tai chi ball is a good idea. Available from the app developer. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Quality, authentic *2014-09-17* Dr. Yang is a true expert, and an amazing teacher! Thanks for this app, which includes some free footage too. ### 5/5 — Much Appreciated Tai Chi Ball Resource *2014-08-31* Dr. Yang's Tai Chi Ball Qigong app has been an immediately useful tool. These exercises are proving to be an excellent complement to my training to learn the Tai Chi forms. The instructional videos are a good length to demonstrate a technique, and provide rare, valuable expert guidance. Thank you so much Dr. Yang and YMAA for making this app available. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
