Pros and cons of Yoga RELAX app for iPhone and iPad

Yoga RELAX app good for

I was extremely impressed with this app. Its easy to use, looks amazing and most of all gets me back into yoga. 1.99 is a steal
There are numerous yoga apps to choose from. I went with this because of its rave reviews. I couldnt be happier with its routine. Very easy for morning or night and really helps on my stretching. Cant wait for another sequel!
At 1.99 I think this is a great deal. I am new to yoga and without this I would be lost in the dark. I recommend this for anyone trying to get their butts in shape.
I first bought stretch, then I bought Relax. I like Relaxs easy sessions, doing them before work or late sessions at night before bed.
First off let me say that I am very happy to be back into yoga. Secondly this app does everything I have needed. You can choose your own background music, turn off the instructor if you wish. It is very useful. I recommend.
I really enjoy this app. I love that you can choose your own duration and that there are audio queues which make this very helpful. I wonder if u r considering a similar Pilates app? That would be even more awesome.

Some bad moments

I bought this yoga app thinking that it can help me to relax. However I have to say that because of the voice instruction I havent used it as much. The voice instruction is very fast and precisely for that reason hard to understand. It does not allow your mined to relax as you have to listen carefuly what is said and figure it out how to do it. I would love to have a much calmer and slower voice to this app.
I bought this to help me relax and to potentially get some sort of easy stretching into my daily routine. Ive tried to do it twice. First time it cut off in the middle. Second time, it cut off in the middle. The poses are somewhat unclear and the explanations are hard to focus on and understand. But its only $0.99!
I bought Yoga Stretch (the other sister app, which I like), but this application, Yoga RELAX, downloaded by itself, and I was charged for the fee. It doesnt even appear on my home screen, and that means I cant even use it! Can someone explain it to me 1) how to make it work, or 2) get my money back? (It should be free to downloan again if its paid once, but this app tries to charge me again and again!)
This is a lame app. Save some money and just download a podcast. That is basically what this is plus a pretty picture of the pose.
If youve never did yoga before this app is NOT for you. The instructions are not very good, because you cant really see some of the positions. So trying to explain dont really help. Plus the instructors voice cuts out, leaving you to guess the rest. Fix the problems and have moving illustration to better help newbes.
Waste of money! Cant hear at all in spite of following instructions. My request for support was ignored.
