UPDATED review 2025
I needed help getting access to my account again but got no response from customer service. I have no access to the background I'd unlocked, my practise history, or my karma points. Shameful lack of response to a paid customer. 2 stars. Caveat Emptor. ************* Pocket yoga is great! It's not a subscription app, which is a BIG plus in my book. There are three sets of routines, each with a beginner, intermediate, and advanced level, and you can practise 30 min, 45 min, or an hour on each. There is also a sun salutation routine with two versions. I'd gladly pay for in app purchases if they would make new routines, as all three sets of routines are similar, with slight variations. Would also like to see shorter sets, say, 15 minutes. Kudos to the developers for making such a reliable app without charging a subscription!
Hard to Use
The app should allow you to watch the workout before you do it without counting it as a completed workout. Trying to learn poses on my phone is pretty difficult. Might be better on a tablet? They should do a better job explaining each pose. They have a section showing all the poses with written instructions but it’s not suitable for a beginner. If they make this more newbie friendly it’d probably be a good app. As is I can see people injuring themselves or just giving up altogether. I had another issue signing in, which it asked me to do to make the app better? Well I can’t. I might end up returning this app which is a great price, but it might be worth it to spend more or even just watch something on YouTube.
I’m frustrated
Do not believe the recent ratings that are five star. So my mom and I got this app because my instructor for one of my activities recommended doing yoga for body awareness. We thought this was a great deal. But this is not yoga. They do have explanations for these poses that you do and a little person to show you how to do it but… in yoga, poses are held for at least a couple of seconds, and in a real class the instructor would not go that fast. And this is for even the beginner levels. I would appreciate if the developers could fix the app.
Sorry I paid for this
Very Very repetitive. Didn’t keep track of my “karma Points” correctly. Very little variety when moving from beginner level to intermediate. Not safe for a beginner at all. Sorry I paid for this.
