Which means my workout is using the correct muscles. I am enjoying the workouts . This is , in opinion, the best yoga app ever! If you are looking for a yoga app, this is the one, without a doubt. This will help you achieve yoga poses with proficiency. Get it and you’ll be glad you did. ### 4/5 — Fabulous *2023-10-22* With other apps I was always wondering if I had proper body alignment, with this app I now know when I achieved proper stance.

Totally found it with this app, I love that I can screen share on my projector and my phone still keeps track of my movements, I’m pretty blind so just using my small phone screen wasn’t gonna work. I also LOVE how affordable premium is! Not even kidding, the most affordable paid workout app out there lol. The only reason for giving 4/5 stars is that the app seems to have trouble saving my data? (Even though I made an account) I have to keep doing the ‘Begin your journey Fit test’ every time I open the app, which is kinda frustrating cause I wanna get through my recommended course but can’t. Now the recommended course won’t even load after I do the Fit Test. Also regulating the volume control. I turn the volume super low from the app itself before I start the video and it’s alllll the way up again when the video starts, which makes me have to stop the video and try to turn the volume down again and then restart the video. But still pretty happy with this app even with the hiccups. And I have already recommended it to a few friends!. ### 4/5 — Love this app *2023-10-07* I’ve been looking for a great app to start doing yoga at home, with easy instruction, without signing up for a gym.

So I’m stuck using my phone on the opposite side of the room from me. There I can’t see or hear what the instructor is doing or saying. I’m so frustrated that I’m ready to cancel. The app looks great when you hold the phone close. And I want to use it. Can you give generic directions on how to stream on televisions? Can it be run on a MacBook? Thanks ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-09-01, version 4.62* Excellent tech inside it, true AI. I’m sure the app has a big future. Strongly recommend ### 5/5 — Wow!! *2021-08-22, version 4.60* This makes the training 100 times more personal than a personal trainer!! ### 5/5 — Great app for all levels whether free or pay! *2021-07-09, version 4.50* Great app ### 5/5 — Beginner *2021-07-01, version 4.48* I’m a beginner to yoga and I’m really loving this app! I’m having to rebuild my muscle memory and this is truly helping along with my physical therapy. ### 4/5 — Review of my first session *2021-06-26, version 4.47* I have never done yoga before! Wow eleven minutes felt like 30 minutes ### 3/5 — Go back before update *2021-05-03, version 4.31* I loved how it was before you guys changed and updated everything. Before i was able to do almost all yoga workouts and now i have to have a subscription for everything. This was the only app that allowed me to do my yoga without having to pay and thats why it was my favorite app. **Developer response:** Hi! We’re really sorry that you don’t like our latest updates! Could you please give us more details? What exactly got worse? We’ll be happy to hear your thoughts, just drop us a message at friends@zenia.co. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2021-02-28, version 4.21* This app seems like it’s a great app to use if your like myself, self taught and thinking about becoming a yoga instructor. However I was deeply disappointed when I noticed that this app does not have any African American yoga instructors and no variation of body types especially during this day in age. There is one beautiful yoga instructor on the app who appears to be biracial but again I was very disappointed that there was no instructions who looked or whose body type I could relate to. There are great African American yoga instructors available all around the world and there are great yoga instructors with curvier body types available as well I’m sure. Black men and women, curvier men and women like to do yoga too just saying. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback. We’re so sorry to disappoint you! We only have one black teacher now (Vicie, she hosts live classes). But we do want our platform to be as diverse as possible so that everyone could find someone they could relate to. The thing is, our app is quite new – 6 months ago, we didn't have any instructors at all. We've reached out to a lot of teachers over the last few months and we're going to continue to do just that – so we're pretty sure that we'll end up with wonderful instructors of all races, religions and ethnicities. We totally understand your feelings so it's completely fine if you don't feel like practicing at the moment. We just hope you understand that adding new instructrors is a long and diffucult process – and we're quite literally in the middle of it right now. If you personally know instructors who could be interested in teaching on Zenia, definetely drop us a message at friends@zenia.co ### 5/5 — Too long to load! I almost gave up 3 times!!!! *2021-02-19, version 4.19* I’ve been trying to do cardio yoga but took way too long to load and when it finally did it froze in the middle of the downward facing puse 3 or 4 times!!!! Then I decided to do other classes like time yoga and normal yoga Frustrating!!!! **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks a lot for reporting this! We improve Zenia every day and will work on this issue. If you could give us more details, it would be great. Please message us at friends@zenia.co. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No response *2023-10-26* I sent 5 emails at this point. No response to my emails but here sooo app is not updating! 2nd not giving me a custom experience. Please help!!! Does give me real-time corrections but no custom plan or new videos. Does the app even work if not I would like my moneys back. Again no response from emails over the last three weeks. Oh I removed it the load it back on still nothing ### 1/5 — I can’t get past the beginning *2023-10-20* So I have done EVERYTHING to get this app to work however each time I can’t get past the basic info where it asked “what are your fitness goals” when I get to that part nothing pops up.. I’ve done everything from reinstalling it going back and it doesn’t let you skip either. Looks like this app must have bugs… ### 1/5 — No response *2023-03-19* I sent 5 emails at this point.

Oh I removed it the load it back on still nothing ### 1/5 — Great App Overall, But Improvements Needed *2022-03-21, version 4.89* I would’ve given this app five stars, but lately the app’s body sensors aren’t recognizing my movements correctly. For example, I have to lay flat on my stomach for Zenia to acknowledge the plank, which is very disruptive to my practice. Another suggestion is to correct the duration of the practices. I’ll often pick a 20 minute session, but it only ends up lasting 9 minutes. It would be nice to have the option to select which asanas you’d like to practice during a session. UPDATE: I’ve updated my review to reflect how kind and responsive the team at Zenia is. Thank you for the response and directing me to the development team! I’ve found the new live instructors are a tremendous help to my practice. The sensors have also improved. LAST UPDATE: The app no longer works; it just loads a blank screen without any options / sessions. I contacted the development team last week and have received no response. I plan on cancelling my subscription. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your detailed review! We're glad that you like Zenia 🙂 We're constantly improving the app and your feedback is a huge help. We'll fix this duration issue soon, and I've passed your idea about asanas selection to our developers. Regarding movement recognition, could you please tell us if you've changed the practice space recently? Please send your response to friends@zenia.co. It will help us investigate this problem. UPDATE: Hi! We’re sorry that we've disspointed you. We’d love to investigate these issues but we need a bit more details. Could you please drop us an email at friends@zenia.co with the following information: ⁃ What class/classes were you doing when you noticed the bugs during floor exercises? ⁃ What email adress did you use to log in? We’ll try to fix these bugs as soon as possible. Sorry again and thanks! ### 1/5 — I want to love it *2020-12-30, version 4.12* I really wanted to like this app but the camera doesn't work well at all. And you have to be so far away for it to work . If they want to make this app better they should try to fix the camera for starters ### 1/5 — Use phone screen but stand 8 feet away? *2020-04-03, version 2.0* I’m 6’4” and this app is unusable because I have to stand far enough away to be visible by the app, which means I need to stand about 10 feet away from my phone. Makes trying to see the app pretty pointless Aside from that, most poses are held for no more than 7 seconds and it seems the creators don’t actually know how to improve their body with yoga and just did some googling **Developer response:** HI! So sorry to hear you had a bad experience practicing with Zenia. The camera angle of different iPhone devices varies. That’s why we're constantly working on improving the app - the opportunity to use it on devices with larger screens, such as IPad and Apple TV. Talking about the practice - we are working with experienced yoga teachers to improve the practice flow and make it perfect. If you would like to share with us your experience, please email friends@zenia.co. It would help a lot! ### 1/5 — I can’t do that Dave *2020-01-30, version 1.4* The computers voice is just straight creepy, that combined with that absolute-fail of a relaxing “breathing” sound effect (dissonant minors, not soothing mate!) made it really easy to feel frustrated at the app when it fails to scan my body position at all. Rushes you through all poses and breathing....except downward facing dog. You can stay there till all the blood rushes to your head and you pass out. If you are struggling with a pose, you can’t just stop sooner! The computer just repeats her (often unclear) instructions over and over until your muscles just quit. Freakishly Frustrating. Cheers. **Developer response:** HI! So sorry to hear you had a bad experience practicing with Zenia. We're constantly working on improving the app. In our plans is to add variety of voices and the ability to skip the pose. If you would like to tell us more, please email friends@zenia.co. ### 2/5 — Unknown error *2022-12-05, version 4.89* No choice for just free trial Requires free triial to be with either one month or year subscription No information on how to cancel Page for terms of service is just a minuscule button that is unreadable When i used ny fingers to make it bigger it just said “restore your purchase” I never purchased anything! I got the message “an unknown error occurred “ every time i tried to sign up for the free trial Just not ready fpr prime time ### 2/5 — Good program but app has technical issues *2022-09-02, version 4.89* I got a Zenia subscription to get into yoga again. Most of the sessions are great, and I really like the use of AI to track movements. But … Every so often the app resets itself. It logs me out and then I have to re-answer all of the first time questions when I launch the app. When I try to use my Apple login to access my account, the app crashes and says “application has been blocked due to exceeding a limit.” The tech issues disrupt my daily practice and is very aggravating considering the price of the subscription. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2023-11-14* I’ve been enjoying this interactive yoga app. My only issue is that it doesn’t always load the yoga I’ve chosen. What he heck is the issue??? Help me to figure out what the issue is so I can simply workout. I do need this app for health reasons and Really want it to work correctly. ### 5/5 — Must have for all Yogis *2023-10-14* If you practice yoga, you need this app. I have been practicing daily for 5 years, but exclusively at home due to work schedule and location. This app gives me the alignment feedback I have been missing. It’s empowering to be in a pose and hear the “good “ bell or see all alignment points in green. The cues in and out of poses are great also. Won’t use this in place of my regular yoga app, but will definitely work with it weekly. I was told my chaturanga needs work,lol— but doesn’t it always with most people?? ### 5/5 — Very easy and fun *2023-09-13* This is very easy and fun to do. I do not dread using the app to do a fun work out throughout the day. I have just stated tho so I will see how things progress. ### 5/5 — Yoga *2023-01-15, version 4.89* It’s wonderful that the app works with you to achieve the desired body shape while you are involved in the practice ### 5/5 — First session *2023-01-15, version 4.89* It was an amazing start for being my very first time ### 5/5 — This is a game changer!! *2022-11-06, version 4.89* I like the live feedback, that actually feels better than an in person class. I’ve loved yoga for some time now, but I was always wondering if I was holding my posture properly and whatnot. It’s nice to have the immediate feedback. ### 5/5 — First Timer *2022-10-06, version 4.89* Let’s just say I should have downloaded this app a long time ago. Easy to follow . ### 5/5 — Really Enjoy 2nd day *2022-05-07, version 4.89* I liked the pose holding for one minute activity. The 8 minute core start out was perfect and I'm feeling where I'm weaker after not formally working out in awhile ### 5/5 — My results are incredible! *2022-03-15, version 4.89* You ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-12-05, version 4.83* I love being able to stream to my roku and have a great yoga practice from the comfort of my home. I do look forward to more instructors and increased difficulties being added (or more classes from my favorite instructors - looking at you Nini) because it seems like I’ve been looking at the same “instructors of the week” since I got the app last June. It seems costly at first but it has been worth it when compared to joining a yoga studio - it costs less monthly than even the lowest cost gym membership or fitness classes. Coupled with the AI you are able to learn where your mistakes and weaknesses are and how to correct them. I started very unsure and insecure having always wanted to learn yoga and have progressed into confidence enough that if I want to throw a flow together myself without any direction I’m able to. I highly recommend it - but like any fitness program, app, regiment, class, etc it’s not going to do it for you - you have to dedicate yourself to your own development - it does however, make that dedication more fun and less of a chore and genuinely an over all enjoyable experience. **Developer response:** What an amazing review 🤩 Everyone in our team is super glad that you enjoy practicing with Zenia and that you’ve already found your favorite instructors! We’re constantly improving Zenia and we hope that you’ll like new features.
