Pocket Yoga Teacher App Reviews

New Instructor

I love that I can create my own printable sequences. The printout flows well on paper. My only complaints are that I wish it would print the Sanskrit. A nice addition would be able to add poses of my own and alter names of poses for those few that have different names within different practices.

Eh

The concept of this app is great, but it is so difficult to build my own practice that Id rather just write down an outline versus searching through the dozens of poses to find the one I want. Then repeat this for however many poses in my practice. It tires me just thinking about it.

No downloadable pre-set routines

I bought the bundle expecting that there would be pre-set routines like in Yoga Studio (eg. 15 Minute Beginner for Strength). I wish the developer could at least let other users share their routines for others to download in-app.

No Watch Integration Not useful for teachers

This app would seem ideal for teachers but in fact it is pretty much useless. Yes, I can design my own sequences but once I do so there is no easy way to carry the sequence into class with me. I could printout a PDF but who is going to come to a class where the teacher is reading off a document? The ideal would be some integration with Apple Watch either through a dedicated watch app or by allowing the companion app, Yoga, to import files from Yoga Builder.

Apps should be able to share practices

I love the features of each individual app, however as companion apps they should work with one another. Id like to be able to edit or tweak the default practices in the main app and Id like to use the practices Ive built in the practice builder in the main app. The main app connects to Apple Health but the practice builder does not, so practices Ive built myself are not tracked in Apple Health when I use them. I also cant earn "karma" points when using my own practices. This seems counterintuitive when youve built these as companion apps and you sell them in a bundle.

Needs to connect to Pocket Yoga & Apple Watch!

I really love this app I use it everyday and as a yoga instructor I love that I can customize my programs. BUT...I dont earn points or perks like in Pocket Yoga app, I also cant share custom programs created here to Pocket Yoga app, and I cant practice my custom programs from my Apple Watch!!! I feel this is a HUGE MISTAKE on the part of the developers! Hopefully they fix this soon!

Great!

I love that I can go at my own pace. My 5yr old daughter loves to do the yoga with me and its a great way to keep her busy on rainy days when she cant go outside and expel her energy. Great fully Mrs. L

Great for beginner

I needed something to help me build a daily stretch routine. This has been perfect.

love

I love this app. i love being able to make my own yoga session, its perfect for me because you can make it as long or as short as you want to

Amazing

Absolutely perfect, just needs some more poses to be the best!

Very Customizable

Exactly what I wanted. Easy to use. Easy to build my own routines.

Thumbs up!

Am waiting to see if more poses are added with future updates and a search feature - then will rate 5 stars. Besides that I love this app!!

Needs some pre-made routines

Great app, would be nice if there were a few pre-made routines, templates, etc to work from, but youre on your own building routines. Being able to copy/paste a string of poses would help as well.

Perfect for starting out!

:) recommended! her voice is a little redundant when you do it daily but its a minor thing.

Great update

The only thing I would add to the app is the ability to use a full playlist in the practice. Putting each song by song in seems anachronistic.

Wonderful

Im thrilled with it! So worth having! So glad I found it!

Great but purchases on iPad dont transfer to iPhone

I use this and another yoga app, Yoga Studio. Really like this app. Pros: Offers 3 difficulty levels. Love that it offers five different routines. Its simple but effective. Like the background music (more important than you know. You dont realize its importance until you get an app with annoying or overbearing music.) Great when I dont have time/access to a yoga class. Cons: I bought several karma points so that I could get the Buddha background on my iPad. But the app forces you to buy them again on your iPhone despite both devices are the same account. Kind of cheap of them. Thats a huge pet peeve of mine and always seems greedy of the developer. No transition between poses. It isnt a real person but they could have added a little more animation to show transitions. Instead, all of a sudden, the character is in the next pose and you are rushing to keep up with her.

Perfect Inspiration for Practice Creation

Amazing app for building practices. It could of course use a few additional features such as copy and pasting strings of poses (would be even more awesome to be able to mirror strings of poses also), but the developers update the app fairly regularly and do make positive changes - so maybe well see this and other improvements in the future. The app works well and exactly as advertised, so your practices are unique to you and thus are as meaningful and productive as you make them. I really do love this app!

Addicted

I downloaded this app, and within three weeks I had built out 4 practices, tailored just for me! Ive done yoga at least 4-5 times a week since, since it is so convenient and just the practice I need. With some years of amateur yoga under my belt, it was pretty easy to build these for myself. I look forward to working in some more challenging poses in the future...after all, I can hold the poses for as short or as long as I like, and build up to them with all the options available. Really great app, thank you! I hope others enjoy it, as well!

Great product, I hope they continue improvements

This app makes building your own practice super easy. The app is great, but there is always room for improvement and I hope to see continuing updates. As others mentioned, ability to copy and paste sequences would be great, doubly so if you have option to flip sides (i.e. change all asymmetric poses to the opposite side from original sequence). Also I would like to be able to record my own voice cues at specific points, and to suggest new poses for the database.
