I think it would be more efficient if they told us we had to pay before the quiz. Im sure it's a helpful app but it would have been nice to have a heads up. ### 1/5 — Grr *2023-02-22, version 1.28* I dislike that the app does not support the first two generations of AirPods or any other Headphones it’s not fair ### 1/5 — Trash-scam *2023-02-21, version 1.28* App forced me to pay $240 a year for this app💀💀 dont download jawn trash ### 2/5 — Predatory trial period *2023-02-16, version 1.28* Nice idea. Greedy price model. 300 annually is insane and the fact they auto roll you in that over a monthly shows you exactly how this makes money. ### 2/5 — DO NOT BUY - Get free alternative PodPosture *2023-02-15, version 1.28* This is so not worth the cost. $220 a year?! No thank you. There’s a free alternative you can get— PodPosture. Don’t waste your time with this app. ### 1/5 — Expensive *2023-02-13, version 1.28* It’s a great idea and seems to work well. But it’s 200 a year which is pretty ridiculous to me. You could say it changes health and wellness or whatever etc. But 200 is too much for an app like this. ### 1/5 — Paying *2023-02-13, version 1.28* I think that it is stupid I have to pay ### 5/5 — Easily the best app for lower/upper back pain *2023-02-09* After 10 years of sports and working on my feet all day. I really feel my posture has such a big role in my physical pane! Only app I found that have actually noticed helped me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Great app for remember to fix our posture *2023-02-09, version 1.28* Having good posture is important, it can help you avoid muscle pain and ZEN has helped me! ### 5/5 — Best App *2023-02-09* Finally an app that works! I’ve been looking for something to improve my back pain for months and the stumbled upon this app. It has helped my posture and my back pain has severely gotten better. Definitely going to recommend this to my coworkers! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2025-01-13* App crashes as soon as you complete onboarding and after you are forced to pay a subscription to continue ### 1/5 — not good *2025-01-08* it kept crashing every time i would open the app ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-06-16* Glitching and kicking me out can’t do anything ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2024-03-13* I purchased the subscription to this App and it was great at first. I haven’t been able to use it in over a month because it keeps crashing. Felt like a scam since there’s no way to report app issues. ### 1/5 — Battery Hog *2023-10-12* Continuously runs in background and drains battery life. ### 1/5 — 20 minutes of questions just to get hit by a $120 paywall. *2023-09-24* Seen app as an ad, and decided to try. . 20+ minutes of questions just to get hit with the paywall wanting $120/yr ### 1/5 — Bought on desktop and is crap *2023-09-23* I bought this app on the desktop only to find out that is discontinued and I’m left with my “lifetime” access. So the app was very bad (terrible implementation), and now is completely gone. ### 1/5 — DAWG *2023-09-17* NAUR WHY IS IT MAKING ME PAY. LIKE DAWG JUST GIVE ME ADS OR SOMETHING. LET ME FIX MY POSTURE. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2023-08-09* I got this app about a year ago and purchased the year subscription for 20$. I stopped using it for a few months. When I tried reusing it. It would not sync up to my headphones. So I deleted the app and reinstalled it. When I did there was no option to restore my purchase. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find it. I emailed and got no response. They new fee was like 100$ and they added all this mental help stuff. Why do you need all that for a posture app?!?! Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your money here. I had to contact apple to get my money back. ### 1/5 — Why *2023-06-24* It’s not free ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Back and joint pain *2024-01-22* Stick with it and your back and joint pain will decrease ### 5/5 — Back pain is actually relieved *2024-01-04* If you stay with this app you will actually see a difference in back pain ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2023-08-03* Recently I have gotten into the app and it has helped significantly ### 5/5 — rlly nice *2023-08-02* I liked it a lot helped me👍🏽 ### 5/5 — App detail. *2023-07-29* I really love this app!
