The app is fine but their content is sub-par for a paid platform. As a user I subscribe to a platform so that I can get class-like experiences. I would like to work on specific muscle groups and poses, like backbends. There are videos with no warm up going straight into backbends and no instruction to warm up. They have a section on how to get into a specific pose, but again no warm up or cues. Honestly there are better videos on YouTube. I regret the su subscription.
Updating review. I initially purchased use of this app through Groupon. It was great while I was using the service. I stopped using the service but was apparently auto enrolled in a yearly $30 membership fee. That was definitely not made clear upon initial enrollment (I'm sure it's in the fine print somewhere). Docking 1 star. Great! I love that there are so many levels. Its not intimidating to start and there are collections that help you progress to a more advanced practice.
I love this app because it helps me get back on track. I used to go to a studio 5 times a week but stopped going due to work and travel. This app really helps me get back into yoga. There are so many different classes to choose with different focus. I have Chromecasts in every room and the app can cast to devices so I practice with the instructor on my TV which helps with the poses. I recommended it to all my friends.
Exceptional It's very useful having this app, especially during this pandemic. It's very straight to the point ie, no hanging around, just straight into the exercises. They have different levels too from beginner to expert. I just wish I had more space in my house haha. If you want to completey benefit from this app, purchase some yoga accessories ie: mat, blocks etc
I have been on YC for several years after my yoga studio moved. I enjoy having the choice of changing my daily practices. I have liked the 10+ instructors I have tried. I also like the class ratings and find them realistic according to my abilities and flexibility. I consider the monthly subscription one of the better bargains. I was using the app on the Amazon Fire Tablet. I had many issues until I started using a real tablet. I now find the app flawless and much easier to use. The audio and video are of good quality. Thank you, YC!
I enjoy the content on the website so much. I appreciate the range of classes they provide and type. Many many options even receipes. My only fristration is just with some type of bug issue. I have to close and re-open the app several times before it'll work on my laptop. That's literally my only complaint though. EDIT: I took it down a star because I literally have not been able to play any videos. What is the point of paying for classes when I can't watch them??
A little clunky at first. However I adjusted quickly. The different instructors are unique and I've enjoyed each experience I've dived into! The information available and the diversity of this one app is amazing! I'm still newish so maybe the 5th star will come soon! Oh only thing I've disliked so far is after going Fullscreen in landscape position and exiting the video the app doesn't want to return to portrait mode without me restarting the app!
I love the instructors and the HUGE variety of sessions. I perform at level 2-3 and have subscribed for 4 months and still not been able to get through everything. My flexibility has increased and I am learning a lot! I love that I can search for whatever my body is calling for in that moment!!
I've been using The Yoga Collective for my home practice for a few years now. I love the classes and have no issues with the web based version. But the app is super frustrating. It sometimes shuts off mid-class. The class download function doesn't actually do anything. It still relies on your internet service...so why did I download it? After initially giving this a 4 star review, the app incessantly gives popups asking for a rating. Even during classes. Totally disrupts the flow.
Update: months later and the app still randomly closes in the middle of videos. I don't understand why they would create something that doesn't work. This app is not even worth the $5 I paid. I downloaded and signed up for this app 2 weeks ago and have yet to get through a whole yoga video. It constantly stops and closes. You can keep my $5 but I DO NOT want to be autocharged a renewal fee.
I'm about two weeks in to actually using the this app. I cast my phone to the tv while I do it too. It's great. It is absolutely worth it. I'm a simple man who wanted to get his body to move better and stronger and this is it. The instructors are clear and helpful. Their are workouts for beginners that are so great I could spend all my time just doing those honestly. Warning though if you are a beginner Do not go to level 2 or 3 until you feel confident. You will be drenched.
Love this ap, you get to pick the intensity you'd like (they have levels 1-3..1 being for beginners), and the length of class time you need. The meditation classes are amazing as well. They also add new classes into the mix too. Definitely recomend to beginners and advanced, there is something for everyone.
So far I'm really enjoying the different classes and recipes. I love the focus on different body parts in the classes. I never have a problem w/watching on my smart tv, phone or tablet. So far I have had it for a 3week, purchased one year through groupon & since my goal is to become and instructor this app has helped me gain knowledge, stay healthy and get fit.
Zero issues with the app, absolutely love the download feature, that'll be huge for when I'm camping & have no service! Grateful to have found The Yoga Collective, I got a great deal on Groupon, but I definitely think even the regular membership price is 100% reasonable & worth it. You always think, 'I can find videos on YouTube.' but I realized that it can't compare to having a fully organized app in front of you that can genuinely customize your practice. In love. ❤️
Love, love, love the practices...easy 5 stars and worth every penny...however, the app shuts down while in practice, multiple times...please fix. Update: Seems to be fixed now...update again as of 4/1/21: app shuts down immediately after opening, I will unfortunately have to cancel my subscription if it does not get fixed. Edit 1/14/22 They have fixed the crash. This is my most favorite and most used app on my phone. Thank you for making your vision a reality.
Love TYC Hate the app. The handful of bugs it has basically cripple it's best features and making it useable only on a phone or tablet. The cast button doesn't work. the meditation timer will ask you if you want to quit if you try to exit the app using the back button even if you didn't actually set the timer at all.
Awesome, awesome classes. But many of the ones with just one person doing the yoga while instructing need to be dubbed. You can sometimes barely hear the instructor, or the timing is thrown off because they're teaching and demonstrating simultaneously.
I really badly want to love this app but this is probably the last time I renew my membership. The app went from not being able to cast music with the classes to my TV, to now not allowing me to cast anything to my TV. I don't feel like using the app on my phone to do a yoga class and it's way too tedious to have to log into the internet on my Smart TV whenever I want to do yoga. I also don't like that they ask me every single day to rate the app.
it keeps saying I'm offline, so nothing works! UPDATE: I used the email address given. Twice within receiving it. And I have yet to hear back from anybody... Even an automated email woulda made me feel like I mattered a lil bit. UPDATE: after having a response telling me I don't know how to use any type of digitial account, I followed said orders... To no avail! I'm still waiting on an email response from the 1st attempt over a month ago. The most current email sent has pictures. As they all do.
Easy to find new practices and bookmark for future use. Good variety of instructors and easy to browse their classes. Chromecast is much appreciated but needs further work; the app continues to play while Chromecast also plays, but not synchronized, and sometimes with audio from _both_.
Purchased a 1 year subscription through Groupon. It makes you enter a credit card in app to activate at the time. I did and then about a month in, I had a hard time using/streaming classes without interruption. I removed my CC from the account to be sure to not renew as I could not or did not use... Well, they charged my card anyways. I contacted customer service, they said they would issue a refund but have not honored their word. Now I am having to dispute the charge through my CC company!PAIN
I love the classes in this app. However, after 6 months of using the app the classes have become quite repetitive. The classes contain basically all the same poses with minor variations. I wish they changed it up more.
Update:Stopped working again!! Stopped working again! Not very zen feeling when your app doesn't work. Had this app for years and this is the 3rd time this has happened. So frustrating.
Love The Yoga Collective and how they updated the app to work consistently with Chromecast now. It'd be really great if the app didn't keep prompting to leave a review when I've already done so.
Love it! App works seamlessly, the class options are diverse and highly searchable. We've only experienced a handful of classes so far but the instructors are professional and knowledgeable and the classes have been challenging. Highly recommend!
Been a fan for Years!! Ive been using yoga collective before it was an app, now that I think of it I've been using it for over 10 years I love having the options to search specifics to find a class that suits me day by day, for how long, and for how intense. Its a great app and they have tons of modifications if you're a new user.
11 28 2021 needs background play! The app is not as good as the classes! Revised review... Had a log in issue which caused me to give a low star rating which I've deleted. The app has a great user interface and casts easily. Would like a calendar or in app tracking feature. That would be be a 5/5. Thanks!
Brilliant -- yoga anytime, anywhere! I love The Yoga Collective. They offer an incredible assortment of classes -- a huge variety of style, duration, intensity, instructor, etc. And this app means I can access that anywhere I have my phone. Total game changer for me. The Yoga Collective itself makes yoga so much more accessible, and the app just furthers that. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or more yoga-curious, this is a great option!
Love it! So many different classes to choose from and different levels. I particularly enjoy the restorative and Yin yoga to help me stretch out. Really happy with the program, is super friendly to use and it's a steal for the amount of information provided.
Stole my money. Customer service sucks. They reseted my account but instead of the option They offered me They put me in a free trail which I actually paid 15 dollars for. They have different rates depending on how you find them. The groupon is good for 4he 1st year but they still offer it. They are not in roku. You have to login every time. The whole things with the app and website is so confusing and upseting. Very dissapoibted. My $15 were supposed to last 4 month, now it renews at 170 a year
