### 4/5 — Great app but AirPlay is not working with it

*2024-12-23, version 24.28.0*

I love the app,it’s complete and offers so much variety of lessons for yoga lovers.
I cannot give 5 stars though because I cannot use airplay with the App and even when I tried to cast the video on the TV is not working and I was able to do so with other apps.So it’s a bit annoying following the lessons on the phone.

### 3/5 — Great but abusive

*2024-04-11, version 3.7.1*

I love the teachers and the wide options they offer. For my renewal, they said annually would cost 9 months instead of 12 and then ended up charging 12 They offered three more months, but weren’t able to reimburse. 
What about the people that just trust what they say and don’t check their charges in their credit card?

### 1/5 — Mala: No tiene opción para cancelar la suscripción

*2023-12-02, version 3.5.0*

Aunque dice que puedes probar 7 días , pide los datos de la tarjeta para la subscripción. Después no hay cómo cancelarlo

### 3/5 — Imposible conectar a smart tv

*2023-09-04, version 3.4.0*

Estoy  probando aún, así que aún no puedo valorar  el contenido. Lo peor es que no se puede reproducir en smart TV aunque este permitido en ajustes  conexión red local.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t support screen rotation on an ipad

*2023-07-24, version 3.4.0*

This app is developed for vertical orientation and a cellphone.  Given it’s subject matter, I more often like to use my iPad for the larger screen.  If you’re iPad is in a support case, you’ll notice it won’t rotate for horizontal viewing.  An update to allow this would be a great improvement to this app.

### 1/5 — No puedo darme de baja

*2023-07-11, version 3.4.0*

Sigo el paso a paso de cómo darme de bajas pero voilà,el último paso para darte de baja no aparece en toda la app…solo aparece borrar cuenta pero con ello no das de baja la suscripción. Alguien que me lo solucione???

### 2/5 — Great content. Terrible tech

*2023-06-12*

I cancelled. The app is a decade behind where it needs to be. Casting is your only option for big screen viewing, yet it doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Hi SfFran68!
Thank you for your feedback. I wanted to let you know that we have spent a lot of time and energy this year updating the Yoga International app. We have also fixed Chromecast for viewing on larger screens and modernized our TV app so that you can practice your favorite classes on the big screen on Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, and Google TV. I hope you’ll give us another try and let us know of any other issues or product improvements you’d love to see.

### 4/5 — Would love to use

*2023-05-29*

I would love to use this app.  But I’m on a fixed income, which means that I can’t afford any subscriptions.  I’m Blind and Disabled as well.  All the money I get goes to rent, bills, and food. This means that subscriptions are completely out of the question. It would be nice if you guys could figure out a way to make the app free for those of us on a fixed income. I’m trying to get back into yoga after a long absence. Please consider finding a way to make the app free for people on fixed incomes. It would help a lot.

### 3/5 — app - 2⭐️ at most, content - 5⭐️

*2023-05-07*

As a yoga instructor and yoga student I enjoy the content of YI for several years now. I found teachers, courses and other content I enjoy, use in my classes and personal practice. Sadly the usability of the app is left much to be desired. I view it on my iPad most of the time. The size of videos doesn’t fit to the screen when I open them (I have to switch to another app, then back,  and by chance the app would show video full screen). I can’t open videos from my saved list and have to type in the name of the class in a search to get an access to smth I already saved. The web version and mobile app version do not really sync (I had issues while viewing my purchased courses). Sometimes a teacher’s intro video plays over a class video (!!), because it just has an autoplay… There are many more annoying issues. They need a good QA team on board to check on all that bugs, both mobile app and web. I don’t want to level up on my subscription because all these bugs.

**Developer response:** Hi Yojka, 
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve enjoyed the content and found teachers and courses that support both your personal practice and classes. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share the issues you've encountered.
We’ve been working hard to improve the app, and I’m happy to let you know that all of the issues you mentioned have been addressed. We’ve made significant updates to our player, ensuring a modern, seamless streaming experience for all of our content. Additionally, we’ve fixed bugs and improved performance across both the web and mobile apps, so any changes made to your account on the web now sync instantly with the app.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we hope you’ll give us another chance to help bring the teachings of yoga to life through a smooth, tech-enhanced experience.

### 1/5 — Une année supplémentaire prélevée

*2022-11-11*

J’avais résilié un mois avant la date d’expiration. J’ai reçu un accusé réception de résiliation et malgré cela j’ai été prélevé. Bien sûr ils n’ont rien voulu rembourser.

### 1/5 — Rally unimpressed.

*2022-08-14, version 2.6.0*

This is the second time I’ve joined and immediately canceled as the promised free course was not supplied. Last time Yoga International did not refund me and I took it on the chin, figuring I had messed up the cancelation. Not this time! I know I completed the process. Let’s see if they refund me, if not I’m disputing with my cardholder. ETA they charged me TWICE!!! Just gets better 🤦‍♀️.

### 1/5 — Automatically takes  money

*2022-08-12, version 2.6.0*

They automatically will charge you card for over $200 and not inform you until AFTER it is done. They don’t reach out to let you know membership is expiring and ask if you want to keep. Then there is basically no way to contact them. There is a text/chat box but it is automated bot answer..then you wait for a team member to get back to you “as soon as they can”.

### 1/5 — Thought to cancel and will be charged

*2022-05-26, version 2.6.0*

Out to get your money …

### 1/5 — App not working

*2022-04-10, version 2.6.0*

Stuck forever in ‘Checking for updates.’

### 1/5 — La app se traba

*2022-03-16, version 2.6.0*

Tome mis 7 días de prueba, me encanto el contenido pero definitivamente no se puede tomar una clase sin que se congele, estás viendo una clase te manda a otro y te saca de la app, decidí darla de baja y pues ahora solo manda error al querer cancelarla.

### 2/5 — Website is GREAT, the app is TERRIBLE

*2022-03-10, version 2.6.0*

I’ve been a web subscriber for years, and the content on YI is no nonsense, solid information. 

I recently downloaded the app to have mobile access to a course, but the screen goes blank almost every time I try to progress. I can’t even go back to the Home Screen on the app. 

It’s not until I come back a day or two later that I can access the app at all. 

Stay a subscriber to their content, but don’t bother with the app.

### 1/5 — Paid for membership, but did not get access to download the certificates

*2026-04-16*

Paid for membership but did not get access to download the membership. Tried to reach out to the customer support team, but they are asking me to get a membership which I already have.

### 1/5 — Yacep

*2025-05-19, version 25.6.0*

I can’t not upload my certificate on yoga alliance because your not appear as a yacep

### 1/5 — Like the Content but App Disappointing

*2024-12-01, version 24.26.0*

I enjoy the content but won’t renew due to glitchy app that makes it difficult to enjoy my practice when using.

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2024-09-28, version 24.22.0*

Grey-out band over videos in landscape mode? No-click no-link classes and courses? After an hour of “playing around” with the app (that’s too much time -it’s 2024 not 2006) I’m deleting app and cancelling membership.

### 1/5 — App is just too glitchy

*2024-09-13, version 24.21.0*

I do like the content, but this is a review in the App Store and the developers really need to respond to problems with the app. I want to use the app on my TV because it’s easier to see, but the current version won’t let me complete log in. Previously, the app just wouldn’t open on the TV. On my iPad and phone, it works pretty consistently but is hard to see, and I can’t project it to my TV. The saving features also don’t really make sense.

### 1/5 — Incompetent thieves

*2024-07-26, version 24.21.0*

I payed for a yearly subscription and have yet to have the access I have been in communication with incompetent Cheryl who is just stealing company time!!!
IM STILL WAITING!!!

### 1/5 — Update your app

*2024-05-26, version 24.18.0*

Seriously update all your apps their user interface is horrible

### 1/5 — Terrible customer service you can’t get in touch with anyone

*2024-05-17, version 24.18.0*

I purchased the yearly membership last year so I could do prenatal yoga classes. I didn’t even use this app much since there are not many prenatal videos and I ended up finding better classes for free in YouTube. I canceled my subscription from my App Store months ago and I even deleted this app. Yesterday I was charged $204 for another year when I did not receive any notice just the notification from my credit card. I’m trying to get in touch with someone and all they have is an email. ?????? Makes no sense, they make it impossible to get rid of this membership.

### 1/5 — Needs a major update

*2024-03-10*

Yoga International was once a great resource, initiated by the Himalayan Institute to teach very sound and beneficial yoga asana, meditation, and pranayama courses online via some very good teachers. Sadly, YI was sold in late 2021 to another company who promptly removed some very good content and over time, new content from the very good teachers gave way to quite substandard content mostly by teachers brought over by the acquiring firm. Nothing against the new teachers personally, it’s just that the new content was quite insufficient vs. what had previously been offered under original ownership. In late 2023, we cancelled our membership, the end of quite a few good years of practice.

### 1/5 — ill not bother

*2025-03-18, version 25.3.0*

Excellent value for money, I had zero technical issues and the quality of the content really exceeded my expectations. I am a genuinely grateful customer.

### 5/5 — Best yoga app for daily yoga and yoga courses

*2024-10-23*

I love that Yoga International has so many types of practices that encompass all facets of yoga! I use this app for evening yoga nidras and meditations to help me relax and sleep, and I like to practice asana with the amazing teachers when I’m feeling unmotivated to lead myself. 

As a yoga teacher, I also love that I can learn about deeper aspects of yoga philosophy and yoga anatomy as part of my membership. Some of the courses help keep knowledge fresh and in others I learn new things.

### 5/5 — Compre la membresía

Thanks to everyone involved in making this app a success!  Love how you can pinpoint exactly what class, teacher, time and level you are looking for!
