Pros and cons of Stark Stretch app for iPhone and iPad

Stark Stretch app good for

Ive gone through one full body stretch and Im looking forward to using the app on a regular basis as a cool down. I wish the app would do a "left side" / "right side" stretch, although I was able to do 4 sets and just switch from side to side. Additionally I find the stretch videos a little too subtle. Lastly breath coaching would go a long way. Everything aside its a great simple app that has plenty of stretches and tracks your progress. Well done and recommended!

I tried a half dozen stretching apps trying to find one with a clean interface, useful images of how to perform the stretch, and the flexibility to generate my own routines. VT Stretch fits the bill. In future updates it would be great if they would expand the library of stretches. But I still think it is a five star app right now.

It allows you to customize your stretching routine. I run and strength train, so I can I can set up different programs depending on which exercise routine Im performing! Its true that the stretches are unilateral but all you have to do to remedy that is enter the exercise twice. Some people dont have 2 arms or 2 legs. Geez! Cant make everyone happy. Its an awesome app!

This is my fourth VT app. Needed a stretch day to rest tired muscles...this is awesome. These apps are simple, they offer a whole lot of variety and keep you coming back for more. Thanks VT creators

No complains at all. Simple, easy start, does not disturb with annoyances. Cool

… all displays are larger as your exercises photos. Why that ? To train my eyes ?

Some bad moments

So yeah, it has stretches. They are good stretches and the pretty fit girl is pleasant to look at. But the "videos" arent more than gifs that dont explain anything. Sometimes the angle they took the picture from isnt very clear, so you arent sure you are doing it right. Also you can set up programs... Which they give you no explanation on how to do that so after about 10 minutes of doing it wrong, I figured it out but then realized it doesnt help. The program still only shows you one excersise than stops...so you constantly have to stop what you are doing to choose the next one. And why are they even "videos" when, given what they show you they could have easily been pictures. I regret paying for this.

There seems to be no instruction for each of the stretches there also seems to be no flow to the routine and I dont like that at all. Also theres only one workout routine with this app not happy about that either. I would like at least three one for beginners, intermediate and advanced. If this app was set up like the app Yoga Studio I think it would be awesome. Sorry just being honest I am looking for 15-30-60 min routines that I can do before/after I go for a run.

I purchased this since there seems to be a lack of decent stretching options that dont cost a lot. I actually do think they have a nice selection of stretches in here, but they do not have any instructions with the stretches. There are videos, but they only show the final position of the stretch with no guidelines or instructions of how to properly perform the stretch. If they added that, I think it would be a nice stand alone stretch app.

This shows dozens of exercises, but the videos dont show how to enter the pose, just a static picture of the trainer already in the pose. No description is offered other than the name of the stretch (Abs1, Abs2 etc.)

For someone who sometimes like to exercise these stretches helped me and makes my exercise easier and I dont hurt...

Very good app. Lots of stretches, many I have never seen before. Check it out.
