### 5/5 — Best Yoga App Ever!

*2026-08-07, version 8.3.0*

I’ve tried so many different apps and followed a variety of people on YouTube and other platforms. Finally found one I love with DownDog!

### 4/5 — Variety

*2026-08-04, version 8.3.0*

This is what I start my day with. All I need is more variety in the poses every day :)

### 5/5 — Ótimo porém pago

*2026-08-04*

O app tem um bom sistema e navegabilidade, com boas opções de praticas e regulações, mas oferece apenas o período de 30 dias grátis e o restante é cobrado para toda e qualquer prática escolhida.

### 2/5 — Restore the direct download button

*2026-08-04, version 8.3.0*

Please restore the direct download button for online practices. In older versions, I could download a practice as I started it, but now I have to create offline practices separately. This makes it hard to repeat specific yoga flows I enjoy when I do not have internet, and it's been a disappointing change.

### 5/5 — Dog

*2026-08-04, version 8.3.0*

Great for putting kids to bed!

### 5/5 — Keeps getting better

*2026-08-02, version 8.3.0*

I have been using this app for well over 10 years, they keep continuously improving. Loving the freedom of the many styles, duration, voices and instructions, set to your needs. Love having access to their other apps as well within the same subscription, using their HIT and meditation app with the same joy. Very affordable and well utilised.

### 5/5 — Best app ever!

*2026-08-01, version 8.3.0*

I’ve used Down Dog for about 5 years now. It’s my go-to for flexibility, strength, and recovery. It is also gold for fixing aches and pains from overdoing it in the garden. It is worth every cent.

### 5/5 — Любимое приложение

*2026-07-27, version 8.3.0*

Уже несколько лет пользуюсь этим приложением,самые лучшие тренировки.Спасибо разработчикам всегда по всем вопросам отвечают

### 5/5 — The best yoga app, BY FAR!

*2026-07-27, version 8.3.0*

Amazing app and highly recommend it! I’m so grateful to their team for their incredible work

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-07-26, version 8.3.0*

I love that it generates a new workout and you can customise based on what you want to target, and it has yoga, HIIT and Pilates. The login / subscription also works for the barre app. 

I also like that I can use AirPlay to play the routines on my tv and set up my mat in front which feels like a proper yoga class! 

It would be great if Down Dog could add more flexibility focused routines though!

### 5/5 — Maravilhoso!

*2026-07-26*

Completo, adaptavel as necessidades de cada praticante. Conheci na pandemia e usei por alguns anos. Agora retornei e está ainda melhor. Parabéns aos  envolvidos.

### 5/5 — Best App

*2026-07-25, version 8.3.0*

Long time user. This app has every option you'd like but still keeps it simple. Practices are surprisingly varied every time so you are almost always learning something new. 
Not only one of the best fitness apps but one of the best apps I have ever used.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-07-25, version 8.3.0*

Best app ever!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2026-07-24, version 8.2.5*

I’ve been with this app since Covid times, I love the options and variability in this app. Also the different options for voices and music plus the difficulty levels i.e., beginner, intermediate and advanced. The poses are easy to follow. Another thing I love about this app is that it allows you focus on one particular area of your body.

Last but not the least, they really supported me when I was out of a job. After my father passed say in 2023, I was in between my home town in Pakistan and England and lost my job due to this. I was struggling to set up my business and couldn’t afford to pay the subscription at that time. They offered it to me for free for the first two years and then gave me a discount for the third. I thought this was incredibly kind at a time I really needed the support. 🥹 I’m sending lots of support and kindness right back at your team! 😇😊 Thank you. 🙏🥰

### 5/5 — Best Yoga App. Period.

*2026-07-23, version 8.2.5*

Best Yoga App. Period.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-07-23, version 8.2.5*

I really enjoy the customizable workout. It’s so versatile. It’s so beneficial. I can’t say enough good things about this app.

### 5/5 — I like it a lot

*2026-07-23, version 8.2.5*

I just need to use it more often. I think there is a way to repeat a practice and I need to use that because there are so many different poses that when I want to do it without a video, I don’t know where to start. Also, 👌🏻 music selection

### 1/5 — Down dog

*2026-08-08, version 8.3.0*

Better value for money using bendy with the options available. I cancelled this app prior to end of 7 day trial and it charged me anyway.

### 1/5 — ужас

*2026-07-30, version 8.3.0*

раньше все было супер, все было бесплатно, работало, можно было настроить абсолютно все: от голоса до времени тишины. а щас что? чтобы начать заниматься нужно заплатить, любое занятие платное…

### 1/5 — Jeremy taylor

*2026-07-25, version 8.3.0*

The music is terrible please stop it

### 1/5 — Used to be the best now a waste of time

*2026-07-21, version 8.2.5*

I use this app all the time. Every single day until you changed it and now I can never get the app to load. I spend the entire time I have for yoga reloading the app and trying to get it to open. If I delete and reload it from the App Store  three times it finally opens but really. I feel like it’s a waste of time and money now   I will not be subscribing again and am looking for a more friendly app

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2026-07-20, version 8.2.5*

Love the app. I have used it for a few years now, but will not be continuing with my subscription due to a $50 price increase

### 1/5 — App layout

*2026-07-16, version 8.2.5*

Not user friendly

### 1/5 — I do not recommend this yoga app.

*2026-07-08, version 8.2.5*

I don’t recommend this app for the simple fact that it does not listen. I’ve been using it for two months and it’s stretched only my hips. No matter how much I have tried to program stretches that target the arms and chest and shoulders, this app gives nothing but hips and quads. In a 30 min practice with chest and shoulders as the focus we did zero chest or shoulder stretches, hips and quads only. So then I programmed a 5 min only chest and shoulders and it did one stretches for my triceps and then straight back to a quad stretch for the remainder of the practice. Use a different app that will actually listen to you and your body, not whatever it wants.

### 1/5 — Decline over time

*2026-06-24, version 8.2.1*

This app is actually getting worse. With each upgrade there are less useful features. Definitely not renewing subscription.

### 1/5 — Toooo expensive !

*2026-06-17, version 8.2.1*

Pro went up $50. Not worth it

### 1/5 — New interface

*2026-06-04, version 8.2.0*

The new interface isn't as easy to use. Wish they hadn't ruined it

### 5/5 — Best practice in years

*2026-08-24, version 8.3.1*

Somatic and haha are my favorite. I was a ballerina for 20+ years and have had a lot of surgery. This has been a godsend🤩

### 5/5 — Workouts as flexible as you hope to be

*2026-08-17, version 8.3.1*

This app has so many customization options that it fits literally any purpose. Dynamic movements for weight loss, Post injury mobility stretches, Warm ups,  Cool downs, etc. Plus you can set the timer for anywhere between 5-60 minutes, so whether it’s just a part of your morning routine or a full blown workout, it’s all here. It’s worth the money.

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2026-08-16, version 8.3.1*

Самое Любимое приложение, я с вами уже много лет. 
Лучшие и самые лояльные и ориентированные на людей. 
Благодарю 🙏

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-08-14, version 8.3.1*

Best yoga app I’ve found

### 5/5 — THE BEST YOGA+ APP

*2026-08-12, version 8.3.0*

I am constantly recommending this app to all I know. I love it for the algorithm, various disciplines and the varied options available. I have used this when I have traveled as I save/download some practices to use in case there is no internet. I have been using this app for just over 6 years now!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-11, version 8.3.0*

Extremely well done app. Fully customizable and clear direction.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-08-11, version 8.3.0*

I love this app so much. The customization elements are the best part. Choose your type, experience level, pace, duration, music, areas you want more emphasis on ( hips, arms,etc) . The videos are studio quality and consistent . I can't say enough about this app. And it's only $5/ month?! I will never pay for yoga classes again. Very satisfied with this

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-08-10, version 8.3.0*

This app is perfect for anyone looking for a more structured yoga flow! It’s like taking a class without the extra hassle. I also love how everything is so customizable!

### 5/5 — Best Yoga App!

*2026-08-09, version 8.3.0*

I was skeptical of an AI yoga app but it is truly a great app. My favorite yoga app so far and I’ve used plenty over the last decade!

### 5/5 — Best yoga app ever

*2026-08-09, version 8.3.0*

The choices of positions, the flow, the timing, the music, the calm, the easy access—best yoga app ever
