It's an okay app I just wish there was a way to sort videos by length of time or at least see how long each video is without having to click the video itself. Also, some video snaps don't have titles as you're scrolling through. Particularly the meditation ones. The content itself is great but the lack of sorting options and usability of the app could be a little better.
I love this idea and it is so needed. I was willing to overlook some issues, but for me the app was unusable. All the videos wouldn't load and the app crashed all the time. Communication with the devs was useless. I wound up canceling. I really want to give another try, but recent reviews seem to indicate that nothing has improved. It's a bummer.
So, I downloaded this an hour ago and was immediately annoyed by how the app wouldn't let me see what they had for videos. I had to pay for a subscription to even view it, it said my first month was free, but then it charged me immediately. Along with that, there really aren't a lot of videos. I was hoping there would be some indoor walking exercises, as it is winter and -30 where I live. I'm not seeing a lot I like and will keep looking for something else.
"Automatically beam videos from your phone to your Chromecast or AirPlay enabled devices" This is no longer available. As well as this was available to download to a Chromecast 4 with Android TV but it was taken away. Which only makes getting to the videos harder. I have attempted nearly everything to get this working and I am unable to use the app without pulling out a laptop or using the tiny screen of my phone. I very much enjoy the service and this company but this technological fumble has been very disheartening.
Never been able to find a workout program that's about feeling good and not "allowing you" to get a smoothie after. What a joy!! The Chromecast option works great with our TV, and I love all the different types of workouts. Would love to see some longer workouts added at some point. Yay Joyn!!!!
Fun and easy to use! Joyn offers many different exercise programs. The instructors are delightful. You can combine workouts to create something that works best for you. Programs are different lengths, different types of movement, with a diversified group of instructors. For the price you get so much. Love it!
I was excited about the content, but I can't get the app to work. It does not communicate with the Samsung TV at all. I am still able to cast things like YouTube, so it isn't an issue on my end. I think I will have to cancel as I can't see well enough on a small phone screen. It sounds like the devs are helping ppl either from the reviews here. Huge bummer. There is such a need for this content.
This is the fitness app I've needed all my life. As someone who has long suffered with disordered eating and exercise patterns, it has been so healing to be guided through joyful, intuive movement practices without judgment or weight-loss/body shaping goals. I really appreciate the inclusivity of all abilities, gender, race and body size. Joyn is perfect!!!
Great videos, when they work. I went to cancel my subscription and there is nowhere on the website or app to cancel. I tried to cancel my subscription though the Google play store but it shows that I am not subscribed to Joyn at all. Not sure what is going on. Kinda shady! I guess I will have to dispute charges with my credit card company if any others show up.. I was so hopeful for this to work.
The videos are okay but the owners of the app don't answer emails if you need help. I've emailed three different times because their payment set up is acting up (even though I gave an authorized card) and no one will reply, so my account was cancelled. They don't do a very good job of keeping their customers.
I love everything about Joyn so far, well worth the subscription price! Inclusive of fat folks, nonbinary folks, & folks w/ limited mobility. The instructors are all confident, communicative powerhouses! I sustained a dance injury & have been unable to walk since - awesome that Joyn offers a modified seated version of each exercise. I feel encouraged to improve how I feel about exercise & never feel bad about my body, which is hard to find in fitness spaces. Recommend!
Love the concept, love the instructors and love the videos but the app is completely unusable. Takes forever to load, videos don't play, frequent freezing and crashes on my android phone. Guess I'll just have to use it on my computer.
An awesome app that focuses on joyful movement instead of weight loss. The catalogue of videos needs to grow, but that seems to be the goal and they're adding more content as time goes on.
I love this app! It's been a fantastic way to put movement into my otherwise sedintary life. The variety of classes keep it interesting and encourage trying new things. All of the instructors are amazing, motivational, and make following the exercises easy. I have recomended this app to several family and friends and will continue to do so. I especially enjoy Yoga Magic with Anna Chapman. Joyn is helping me make positive changes in my life and I'm extremely excited and greatful I found this app.
Love the coaches, hate the app and website. Videos are well done and the instructors are amazing. I wish the app and website was not so crashy. Considering reaching out to find videos from these individuals through more stable media.
This is the exercise/movement/wellness program I've been looking for all my life! I was smiling and relaxing the whole time! It's amazing to be able to feel really good about yourself and genuinely have fun in a low stakes environment! Very inclusive!
I honestly was scared to try a fitness app with videos because most fitness apps almost shame you for not already being skinny. So far, what i have done and seen has shown the opposite. The videos all have various people of varying body types and nobody shames anybody. It's all positive, and not in a BS way. The teachers of the different classes all enjoy what they are doing, and they genuinely make me smile and laugh, and make me feel like I am there with them as a student. 100% recommend. 👍
I am really enjoying this App. I feel intune with the instructors because they look just like me and have similar limitations that we can work through together. Jessica is my favorite for yoga. I would also love to see more meditations. The tapping and movement type meditations are not my cup of tea. I like the long, deep, guided meditations. Most of what is available are very short. Would also love to see some Chakra work.
I'm happy I've found something that doesn't focus on punishing your body. The classes are peaceful, fun, and I love that I have options depending on my mobility at the moment. The inclusivity is awesome.
I am fat and disabled and finding enjoyable ways to move my body is always a challenge. As soon as I opened this app I was smiling. So many diverse bodies and showing so many of the exercises in chairs so they can be immediately adapted to any level. This is something that I can easily incorporate into my every day life.
I am so happy to have finally found a fitness app that does not focus on weight loss. Even happier to find the folks in the videos come in all sizes, abilities and genders. So refreshing!
I love this app! No matter how I'm doing, There's something I can do. I did the bed yoga while my back was out. Gentle yoga while recovering. Dancing when I can. They've got seated options for nearly everything, including dance. I love that the instructors are my size. I'm so grateful for this. I always finish feeling positive about myself, and feeling physically better.
Perfect for fitting movement into your day and having fun doing it! No mention ever of weight loss or diet, which I appreciate. The only thing Joyn could improve is to add more content. More more more! And they are working on that! :)
I was excited to try this out except the App won't even open. It just sits in the opening screen. I tried to uninstall and download again but still the same result. What a shame as I really was hopeful.
I LOVE this app. The classes are fun, the instructors are warm and friendly, and it really is inclusive of any ability level!
Amazing class options, short and easy sessions that fit into my day, friendly for all bodies, great for small spaces and those without fancy workout gear! I love Joyn!!
Body positive movement and meditation with wonderful teachers. I love this app, especially the inclusivity of the movement types, teachers and participants. Happy to support this project.
I love this! The diversity in body types, time, and difficulty make it perfect for me. Extremely flexible.
Kanoa is absolutely wonderful! Doing these exercises make me feel so strong and confident. I have been having some relatively minor issues with the app itself (the search engine function randomly stopped working for me, for example) but I'm still able to navigate it well enough despite that, and the quality of the classes are such that it doesn't bother me much. Keep up the amazing work!
