Applause for the creators of this app
Jun 21, 2022 By India 😊I absolutely love this app. I’ll try my best to put it into words, but guys have created what a safe space can be in an app. Ultimate peace. I absolutely love the design and interface as well. The fact there’s at least 10 different voices to choose from shows how much effort and love was put into making this app. The many many different flows of yoga to choose from, and the descriptions of each one…perfect to understand and I feel smart reading them because I’m learning new and different types of yoga. Everything is so well put together and it makes enjoying this app so easy that I want to pay the team because you guys deserve it. Anyways, right now I’m struggling a bit and I think $10 a month is completely fair if not underpriced, but you guys are so sweet for even making this section in the first place. I lost my job due to Covid and my car broke down months ago, first the alternator, then thermostat, then the starter haha, so I haven’t had the best luck with her. I struggle with BPD (borderline personality disorder) and it’s been hard even thinking about getting a job with everything going on. This app brings me so much joy and it helps when I’m depressed and overthinking. You guys have created what Zen physically embodies. I thought I’d right here just explaining my financial situation but you guys have blown me away with every part of this app, you thought of it all and I have to say be proud of yourselves! more -
Jan 16, 2023 By Micki KulpanLove the app! It's totally customizable from type of practice, length of practice, choice of music or none, explanation of poses, and even more. This has taken me from beginner (never did yoga!) to intermediate with complete confidence. As you progress and understand more about breath focus and the physics of the poses you come to truly appreciate just how amazing this app is and you'll also start to appreciate what your body will eventually allow you to do. more -
Love this app, best yoga routines
May 11, 2022 By Shannon KieraI’ve been using the app since 2020 on and off since the the start of the pandemic. I originally found out about it from my brother in 2018, when I started my yoga journey at a local studio near my house. However, with things studios closing and prices going up to cover the effect of what happened, I decided to download this while I was at home. You can pick what you what to focus on, the pace you want to go, whether you want a full practice or a quick flow, and it generates a new workout each time. Whether I want to do a quick 15 min or a 45 full practice, it’s got everything and I never get sick of the workouts cause it’s always changing. You can practice with or without music, and change the voices of the instructor. I have literally nothing bad to say about this app, super impressed. To top it off with a cherry, I was going through some financial struggles with my car being totaled and I saw that they had an option for having a membership but not being able to afford it. I figured what’s the worst they could say and it’s always worth a shot. They gave me the app free for 6 months and a discount upon the 6 months ending for the year! Seriously, amazing people, I am so immensely grateful and will tell everyone about this app, nothing but positive love and vibes over here. PS: I have also tried their other apps like barre and hit, but by far, the original down dog is my fav! more

Dec 27, 2022 By Dana DragonduckI love this app and use it all the time. it is completely flexible; you chose the music or silence, voice, length of practice, special focus etc. It would be better if there were a way to use it without a wifi connection but that is my only complaint. more -
So far so good!
Dec 29, 2017 By sherryCTI have been practicing yoga on and off for 10 years and just started up again with a small class once a week. I wanted to supplement my class practices at home with something I could do daily. I have used other yoga apps before but they were ‘meh’. I like this one as you have a real person narrating, you can see them in the poses and you have a music selection. You can do a full on hour long practice or a quick 10-20 minute one. You can do beginner or advanced (I am beginner/intermediate). I have done about 4 practices so far with this app. The only thing I would caution folks about is to be sure you are doing things correctly. I cannot stress enough the helpfulness of a real class with a real teacher to tell you when you are not in a pose correctly, or maybe alternate forms of the pose if you have neck, shoulder, hip, whatever issues. This statement is not for just this app but for anyone who wants to start yoga and think it is a good idea to do it via app only without instruction. You can hurt yourself. Instruction also helps you improve your yoga ability. One awesome thing that could be added is a meditation ‘set’ here. Say at the end of a short stretching yoga practice, spend say about 5-10 minutes with a guided meditation. Something to think about but in no way detracts from this app. Maybe it is here already and I have not found it yet. I know there are separate apps for this. Namaste! more -
Sep 20, 2022 By Kait WhyGreat app! I've been using it for a couple of years now and truly love it. I will express my disappointment at seeing they refilmed the original model doing all of the poses again. The only issue I ever really had was that there was only one "instructor" to choose from. That was a missed opportunity for options. Like, a larger body, for example. Larger bodies don't always feel comfortable in traditional spaces and they could have truly filled an underserved group. more -
Best yoga app I've used
Sep 29, 2017 By LostbonsaiI'm astounded. They got it all right with this app, and it's hard for for me to find the patience for yoga. The process and the way I feel afterward is amazing, and I never feel patronized, pseudo-spiritual, or like I'm trying to be a soccer mom. From the language used in the narration, the soothing yet energizing voice, the musical selections (and option for no music) the quality of the images.. I'm just really happy with Down Dog. Evidently there are in app purchases, but I probably wouldn't have realized that if it wasn't indicated on the app description. It's not in-your-face at all - I'm going to have to go back and search for them. And I will, because the quality of the free product is so amazing. Maybe I sound like I'm gushing- it's just that I have never had the patience for yoga before. It was one of those things I thought I maybe "should" do. I have used this app 5 times in 7 days, and always feel amazing afterwards. UPDATE: it's over a year later, and I'm still using and loving Down Dog. I also paid for the upgrade, mostly because I wanted to support them so much, but it also unlocked some great features. I am impressed with how the app has evolved and how responsive the team is. Even when life is at its most chaotic, I can fit their 10 minute sessions in every night before I go to sleep, and longer sessions during the day whenever I can. Thank you, Down Dog! more -
Sep 29, 2022 By Jordan ConchaThis app is actually perfect. It's my favorite way to practice yoga. I had typically followed YouTube videos, which were still great, but what I love about this app that the videos don't have is just the customization aspect of it! Instead of hunting for the perfect practice I want right then, I just adjust the settings with the app and within seconds - an awesome practice ready to go! Also, the voices they have available to guide you are great. I use Kerry's voice and it's just so soothing. more -
Grateful
Apr 23, 2022 By womder twinI’m very thankful to have the opportunity to use this app. I couldn’t afford the full version but the people from down dog let me tell them my story and I received the full version for free for a period of time plus a discount when I’m ready to join . I’ve struggled with addiction most of my life . During those times the only thing that gave me any relief was exercise . One day my best friend , my wife , introduced me to yoga . It gave me something my soul yearned for . Yoga along with the love of my wife and family gave me something bigger than myself to believe in. I couldn’t afford classes anymore and I took time off for a hip replacement . That’s when I discovered Down Dog. With so many choices of what I want to focus on and with the beautiful music and soothing instruction from the teachers I don’t need a yoga studio . When I can’t sleep at night I’ll come out and practice yoga on my own. It helps me settle down . I don’t seep a lot due to trauma and the damage to my brain from drugs . But Yoga helps me . It helps me sleep . It quiets my mind during the day. It puts me in touch with emotions I could never seem to get out . I am very grateful to everyone involved in the down dog community . To me This app is definitely worth the membership . Thank you all and thank you to my beautiful for giving me a reason Down Dog is changing my life more -
Nov 29, 2022 By Idana EspinozaBeen using the app for almost 3 years and I love it! I had not done yoga before and this app has allowed me to learn without the intimidation (and expense) of attending a class. I love that I can practice while traveling and can increase or decrease difficulty, depending on how I am feeling. Best money I have ever spent for exercise! Highly recommend! more

they’re still billing you every month
Jan 25, 2021 By Fragola FarfalleIt’s a nice app to do yoga but I think they’re scamming people into believing it’s free and still charging behind our backs and then making it near impossible to get our money back. It’s not right. Would be a 5 star app but they’ve stolen my money and that’s really gutter. downdog was kind enough to offer a free for schools feature during the economic hardship. Just change the email in your downdog app to your student email and it’s free until July or June 2021. Well I did that and was notified my subscription was successfully converted to the free for schools option in July 2020. I’ve still been billed every single month and neither downdog nor apple are taking responsibility for the issue and are making me jump through hoops to get my money back. Did downdog not notify apple not to bill people who use the free for schools feature they offered? I don’t know and I don’t care. They should fix the problem and send me on my way. Instead I’m stuck in an endless loop of emails in which these two companies are clinging with an iron fist to my $9.99/mo that was erroneously billed for 7 months. Check your account. I bet they’re still billing you too. Yikes. more -
Videos are broken and practices aren’t possible to do anymore
Nov 1, 2022 By no. name. for. you.Loved the app and always had amazing practices, but haven’t been able to use it in months because the videos won’t play properly anymore. They jump back to the first round of stretches randomly even if I only have a few left, refuse to play the poses I click to if I try to go back and continuous just resets back to the first few, pause and stutter every other pose and sometimes just refuses to play at all. It happens every practice now. I stopped using for awhile because I got annoyed and didn’t feel like it was worth my time to try and fix while sick, but now I’m not sick anymore I want to do yoga again and tried to fix this issue. I looked up what to do but found no working solutions. I’ll give it two stars instead of one even if it literally doesn’t work for me anymore because I have friends it still works for and, if you’re lucky enough to have a working video, the practices are amazing. Would love to see this issue resolved because this was my go to app. more

With so many choices of what I want to focus on and with the beautiful music and soothing instruction from the teachers I don’t need a yoga studio . When I can’t sleep at night I’ll come out and practice yoga on my own. It helps me settle down . I don’t seep a lot due to trauma and the damage to my brain from drugs . But Yoga helps me . It helps me sleep . It quiets my mind during the day. It puts me in touch with emotions I could never seem to get out . I am very grateful to everyone involved in the down dog community . To me This app is definitely worth the membership . Thank you all and thank you to my beautiful for giving me a reason Down Dog is changing my life more -
Nov 29, 2022 By Idana EspinozaBeen using the app for almost 3 years and I love it! I had not done yoga before and this app has allowed me to learn without the intimidation (and expense) of attending a class. I love that I can practice while traveling and can increase or decrease difficulty, depending on how I am feeling. Best money I have ever spent for exercise! Highly recommend! more -
Best app for yoga
Jun 13, 2018 By Mayumi96I started off with this app a little over a year ago when I wanted to start meditating and centering my mind due to anxiety. I didn’t want to go to yoga classes because they are very expensive and I was afraid of looking dumb and inflexible. I practiced each day for at least 10 min for about 3 months, I then saw a deal on Groupon for some classes at a local yoga studio and I bought it. After the first class the teacher came up to me and said they were happy to see a new face and that they hoped they see me again. They asked me if I had been practicing long and I informed them that I had been practicing for about three months, they then asked WHAT STUDIO I WENT TOO!? Hahah they were surprised when I said it was a app. Down dog! I recommend this app to all my friends and family who want to start their yoga journey. I had their free version on my phone for about 8 months, I now have the paid version because I trusted the app and was willing to pay a small price compared to what i would pay at a yoga studio each month. I was prepared to deepen my practice, and I knew this app would help. Now here I am a year and a half later, loving this app still (using this for a majority of my practice) and anxious to be attending a yoga institute in July 2018 to become a yoga teacher! I love yoga and I Love this app. I cannot stress that enough! more

Sep 20, 2022 By Kait WhyGreat app! I've been using it for a couple of years now and truly love it. I will express my disappointment at seeing they refilmed the original model doing all of the poses again. The only issue I ever really had was that there was only one "instructor" to choose from. That was a missed opportunity for options. Like, a larger body, for example. Larger bodies don't always feel comfortable in traditional spaces and they could have truly filled an underserved group. more -
Aug 21, 2022 By Julie W.I love how you can completely customize it. Not only by experience level, but even just preferences for music and voice and how much guidance you want. It keeps giving me weird error messages, and often times won't load or stops to buffer, even with full service, on the lowest quality level. But it's pretty good for the most part. And the best app of it's kind. more -
Oct 13, 2022 By Illyssa DemarinoI absolutely love this app for yoga it's the only one I use. Being able to tailor your experiences to your needs is incredible. I will say, I took one star because they removed the boosts like low back stretches. The only ones available are hip or hamstring stretches. You can still stretch your lower back during the practice, but they've taken a lot of customizing options away. more -
Best asana app EXCEPT
Jan 12, 2023 By Trulia rentalsTL;DR: Fantastic for home practice, especially if you want to tailor your flow for limited time or mobility. The ONE thing this app lacks is diversity represented in pictures, videos, voices and music. Long form: I’ve been practicing asana for almost 30 years in one form or another, and as the practice gained popularity in the US, I found fewer and fewer studios were offering hatha or restorative flows. While I love a good ashtanga session, I have a chronic condition that dictates whether or not I have a enough energy day to day for a full workout. On top of that, my career often has me traveling or working odd hours. So for many years my studio memberships would lie unused for weeks or months because of a flare up, or because of a job. With DownDog I can practice on the road, for as much time as I have, and tailor my flow for days when I’m just not feeling good. Thanks to this app I’ve been more regular with my asana practice than ever in my life! THAT SAID, its hard to ignore the lack of diverse bodies and voices represented in the app. The developers have done an amazing job of offering different styles; what would REALLY take this app to the next level is for them to tap into the Southeast Asian, Black and Latine communities for more diverse photos, videos, voices and music. more -
Aug 8, 2022 By Alexandra RaelThis is the best yoga app I've ever used!! It guides you through each pose with as much or as little feedback as you'd like. The tips for holding and doing each pose is particularly helpful if you're new to yoga or you have a tendency to forget to breathe like me. There's a huge variety of styles and my favorite thing is you can choose different focus areas like hamstring stretches. I am disappointed that they took away the practice download feature though. That's why only 4 stars. more -
DownDog
Nov 2, 2020 By Dyl G8I love this app/company because it allows me to have a daily yoga practice when I can’t go into a studio regularly. The app handles everything you need in a full practice and even has different versions of yoga practices. A couple problems that I’ve noticed is: 1. When practicing, the instruction from the instructor often does not align with the visual practitioner on the screen. Ie.) “warrior 2 with left arm up and right leg back” often shows actually the opposite on the screen. The person will actually have the right arm up and left leg back (the opposite). So that’s slightly confusing. And 2. The app glitches sometimes. Even with a downloaded practice, the app will glitch and not play smoothly. During a yoga practice, rhythm is a big factor. So, being interrupted by lagging tech can be tedious. Also, when toggling back or forward, it takes the app longer than it should to switch to another pose/position within the given practice. Simply, slow tech. These are the two main fixes I hope to see DownDog improve on, or their competitors strive in. If a competitor performed the above elements better, I would switch my subscription to them. Perhaps this is a simple tech solution. -DG more -
It does the job for me!
Mar 11, 2019 By HyMSanchezI like how I can customize the practice options. Length, focus on a body part or function, type of music, speed, instructor, and more. I have mine on beginner 1 and still find some of the pose suggestions a bit advanced. I wish like most classes I’ve been to in person they had instruction that started basic, and then options to increase the postures (the video instructors are able to perform them well so if I can’t bend or move like they can it’s hard to know the right but “lesser” pose options. As a beginner I love the reminders for breathing sprinkled in as well as reminders to adjust the posture so you are getting it correct. Sometimes the flows seem repetitive with a LOT of down dog, plank, up dog, down dog sequences in a row - but maybe this is a style I’m just not familiar with in the “in person” classes I’ve taken. I love that you can also lengthen shavasana at the end or even remain listening if you forgot to lengthen it. Overall the app is a deal if you buy in during the holidays and works great for an at home option to get you through the week of you can’t make or can’t afford a group lesson. more -
Great app - liked previous music
Sep 4, 2019 By Turtle againI still love this app but lately some of the savasana music has felt distracting and creepy. One example sounded like a creepy woman voice yelling (sounded like a Halloween witch shrieking into a dying off voice with other high pitched voices) on alt beats (not spiritual where I might understand that working for some cultures) and another sounded like a rattlesnake (again in alt beats, not spiritual where it might work for some.) Today I was thankful that all of the selections were relaxing (and I still like the sung chants that I can drift off to savasana in.) Maybe the music categories could be broken up more for different preferences or cultural needs. Also I had to reduce talking for the new option to just announcing the pose on the new voices because she talks way too much even on limited talking with breath cue so it makes it hard to relax into the breath. I wish the classic voice could be combined with the new options even though the instructions would have less detail. The original voice was more inviting and soothing/relaxing for me personally. more -
Love this! Needs warmup though...
Mar 13, 2019 By pdxfan318I really love this app. I did the trial session first then signed up for a yearly subscription. It’s worth it and saved 30% by purchasing on website (use same login on website as created on the app for purchase to show up in app)The audio is very clear. Love the videos and that you can customize how much instruction/explanation is given and even the pace is adjustable. This is fantastic for a yoga newbie. The length of the sessions so far is spot on and I enjoy doing it in the comfort and convenience of my home. I do wish there was a warmup at the beginning of each session...even if it was a separate video that could be done before going into the regular session. Going into it cold and not stretched out makes it more challenging to do some of the poses and adds some risk for injury. Adding a warmup would make it 5 stars. Until then I will opt to stretch/warmup the best I can on my own for a few minutes before doing a session. more -
Improvement suggestions
Oct 13, 2021 By Allycat595125I love the app and that the subscription covers all the downdog apps (I use the yoga and meditation apps every night). There are just 2 things I would improve- 1.] I wish the “favorites” tab had better organization. Currently, it doesn’t separate your favorite sessions from the different apps (for example, my fav yoga and meditation sessions are dispersed amongst each other instead of being separate. It is only categorized by which session you favorited most recently). It also would be helpful if each of the favorites could be categorized by time (ex: 20 minute sessions v. 10 minute sessions) and type (ex: focus on shoulders v. Focus on lower back). 2.] I wish the yoga app had more “focus” areas. For example, instead of the basic “shoulder” or “lower back” you could also choose things like “good for digestion” or “helpful for period cramps.” more

Great exercises and variety but glitchy app
Jul 8, 2020 By JeSuisJamieMy husband and I love both the HIIT and Down Dog apps, and use each every day. We purchased the subscription after trialing it during the COVID quarantine. We absolutely love the variety of exercises- how it’s never the same workout each time. We both feel like we are getting solid workouts in. But the biggest problem we have is how glitchy the apps are; we have the same issue with both. When we attempt to cast the workouts onto our TV, we get about halfway through, and then the app seems to reset itself. Casting immediately ends and the workout returns to the beginning of the session. Sometimes we are successfully able to fast-forward to about where we left off, but other times it seems to crash and force us to start a completely new sequence, which is incredibly frustrating after putting in a solid 15-20 minutes worth of workout. If not for this big issue, this would without a doubt be five stars from us. more -
Disappointed...and boring
Mar 14, 2019 By SamCadiaDo not understand the amazing reviews for this app. Have had it for a week, done a mix of half hour - hour sessions, beginner 1 and 2 levels. For all intents and purposes, the workouts have been the same with a couple different poses, i.e. chair one day, tree the next. The boosts are not much of anything. But could deal with that if the first 1/2-2/3 wasn’t repeats of down dog to plank to chataronga (sp?) to updog after every pose. It’s bad enough during a half hour class, but when I did an hour class with some friends we were so bored we were about to break out the wine to make it a drinking game. It was ridiculous how many times that series is repeated in every single class, no exaggeration. Come on, there are other ways to transition. I’m probably going to request a refund and just go back to using Yoga Studio. It’s too bad as I like the music options, background and instruction, but the classes are a major disappointment. more

Videos are broken and practices aren’t possible to do anymore
Nov 1, 2022 By no. name. for. you.Loved the app and always had amazing practices, but haven’t been able to use it in months because the videos won’t play properly anymore. They jump back to the first round of stretches randomly even if I only have a few left, refuse to play the poses I click to if I try to go back and continuous just resets back to the first few, pause and stutter every other pose and sometimes just refuses to play at all. It happens every practice now. I stopped using for awhile because I got annoyed and didn’t feel like it was worth my time to try and fix while sick, but now I’m not sick anymore I want to do yoga again and tried to fix this issue. I looked up what to do but found no working solutions. I’ll give it two stars instead of one even if it literally doesn’t work for me anymore because I have friends it still works for and, if you’re lucky enough to have a working video, the practices are amazing. Would love to see this issue resolved because this was my go to app. more

they’re still billing you every month
Jan 25, 2021 By Fragola FarfalleIt’s a nice app to do yoga but I think they’re scamming people into believing it’s free and still charging behind our backs and then making it near impossible to get our money back. It’s not right. Would be a 5 star app but they’ve stolen my money and that’s really gutter. downdog was kind enough to offer a free for schools feature during the economic hardship. Just change the email in your downdog app to your student email and it’s free until July or June 2021. Well I did that and was notified my subscription was successfully converted to the free for schools option in July 2020. I’ve still been billed every single month and neither downdog nor apple are taking responsibility for the issue and are making me jump through hoops to get my money back. Did downdog not notify apple not to bill people who use the free for schools feature they offered? I don’t know and I don’t care. They should fix the problem and send me on my way. Instead I’m stuck in an endless loop of emails in which these two companies are clinging with an iron fist to my $9.99/mo that was erroneously billed for 7 months. Check your account. I bet they’re still billing you too. Yikes. more
What’s Groovy
I love this app. So much is customizable: I have choices of the kind of music that plays during the session, the voice of the guide, the level of yoga, and the length of each session. Plus there is a visual of each pose. I love the portability of taking it anywhere because it's on my phone so that no matter where I travel, I can still do my guided yoga practice.

What’s Subpar
For a week or so, my phone’s battery life has been pitiful. Finally, today I sat down to figure out what was draining it. It’s this app. It is using HOURS of background refresh activity which is draining my phone’s battery life. And guess what? THIS APP IS NOT LISTED IN BACKGROUND REFRESH LIST!! So, this means the app is not asking for your permission to refresh in the background. It is simply doing it without your OK. Not acceptable!
———
I LOVE this app, and I use it nearly everyday. Some days, I need to have the practice through my wireless headphones, but the app does not allow me to adjust volume through my headphones. I must go through my phone to adjust the volume for my headphones which is extremely inconvenient during a flow when a new song is just a bit too loud. (Swipe up to unlock, pause practice, adjust volume, relocate the time I stopped to change the volume to ensure I’m not missing a step, rewind, start again... it’s a hassle!) That’s not to mention needing to have my phone next to me. I’m doing yoga-the whole point is to get away from my phone. Having the ability to adjust volume as the songs change in type over the practice would take this app to the next level for me, personally. This seems to be its only flaw. But it’s a really big one for me.
