iYoga - Premium

As a busy grad student that loves yoga immensely, I find this app very helpful in keeping me fresh on poses I may have forgotten about. However, there seems to only be an option for voice instruction or silence. Could you please put in an option for a bell with no voice? For those of us who need no instruction but don't want to have to keep staring at the screen for pose change cues, the bell serve as a pleasant signal for pose changes. Maybe a singing bowl sound like is head when the voices are active. Also, I like the side-by-side views of the muscle body and the stretch-contract body (iPad version), but an option to have one or the other alone would also be helpful, so that the person in the poses would be bigger on the screen. I don't need both bodies on the screen at once. Would love to see these reflected in the next update!!! Other than that, I love this app!!!

The app provides an easy way to set up your own sequences, but my main complaint is that each pose starts with the descriptions of the movements, where announcing the NAME of the pose first would let you know what pose you’re starting. Starting only with movements makes you have to try to look at the screen to see what pose you’re on, which is difficult at times and rather distracting when you are supposed to focus on your breath and movements. A few easy changes and this could really be GREAT. Having some background music would also make it less clinical.

Acceptable but definitely not as great as the other paid apps from 3d4medical. To start, the quality of the imagery is unusually crummy on a high definition screen which is the majority of cellphones and tablets these days. The poses can only be viewed from two angles and cannot be rotated. No free zoom: Poses can only be zoomed in to a specific set point determined by the app. There’s no way to rewind and not even a knob to grab to do it manually. Pose names are not spoken before direction which makes focusing on body communication impossible. When purchasing the app and additional poses they took literally 6 hours of retrying and uninstalling to download and there was no way to get help because the web developer, troubleshooting, and help links are broken. It’s just strange how amazing “complete anatomy” is and this app doesn’t even seem like it’s made by the same company. Considering how much better this developer can do I don’t recommend buying it when there’s apps just like it for free.

It allows you to create and your own programs. That is great, but needs ability to specify how long to hold a pose. As it is, you can specify a plank, for example, but a few seconds later it tells you to come out of the plank. You can't alter how long a pose is held. If you added the ability to specify how many minutes and seconds, the app would be much better. It gives great 3D visuals from multiple angles. The verbal directions are the best of any Yoga app I have seen.

Great attention to detail and a smooth interface. A tip for the other reviewers who are struggling, you can adjust the pose times. If you’re creating your own routine, keep tapping on the “hold pose for…” button to increase the time. Or in the preset routines, it’s Edit and “hold pose for….” Easy! I love this app so want to help others love it too!!
