I love this app and have begun venturing into the other apps by this same company. I began using it during COVID lockdown to keep myself moving and have loved it ever since! there's a great variety of customizable options for your workout (voice, length, difficulty, kind, etc.) and the workouts are never the same, so it's always something new and interesting!

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.

I finished my 1st session of any type of yoga really(ish). At most 10 "sessions" in the last 10 yrs (I'm talking YouTube, part of a warm up, fitness course in college did it one day). Probably would classify as couch potato. 1st session was 15 minutes. I opted beginner & favored default recommendations during setup; different 'tranquil' male/female voices. Easy to follow visual & audio. Felt fast at first but super easy to rewind once or twice & then quick to pick-up. Worth a try for the price!

Room for improvement...for one, it won't let me "dislike" lunge poses, so most sequences are literally lunge after lunge after lunge after lunge...even when I choose hatha or gentle. Not cool for bad knees. Second, there's no guidance for proper alignment, which makes it less beginner-friendly for some. I will keep using this app until I find a better one but the lunges are too much. Plenty of other poses that could be used instead but aren't.

Signed up with Down Dog in 2019. While i havent been constantly using the app all this time. My own fault. This app continues to get better and better. The variety of sessions, customizablilty(length of workout, focuses, include/exclude poses and more) gives you a different workout and challenge every single time. Keep up the good work. 👍

I love that they offer so many different ways to incorporate yoga. From beginner to more advanced, sitting, stretching, full on the floor. As well as many time frames to choose. It's all customizable. Anyone who is interested can ease into it and not be overwhelmed or intimidated. If you have limitations due to health or being overweight, there are many many sessions you can do too. I will not use any other app. And I will only recommend this one.

Love this app and how customizable it is. The more I use it, the more I love it. You can do whatever kind of yoga you want, for however long, and plus choose emphasis areas. The guidance is good, glad there are visuals in the form of a person along with the guidance, and the music is optional. I love the soft piano in the background to help me stay in the practice. Get it!

Great app, been using it since Covid, it was my intro to yoga, and I love it and I've loved the changes made over the years, especially liking and disliking poses! I will say you need a new camera person because some of the shots are just... Super odd and unfortunate. Sometimes it's also hard to figure out how an unfamiliar move is going or what it's supposed to look like because of where the shot is located and I lose time trying to figure it out.

This app got me doing Yoga regularly 6 years ago (no prior experience) and I'm still using it several times a week, now with my two kids! They've been exposed to yoga since they were born and love doing it with me. It has made a huge difference in my core strength, flexibility, and physical confidence, especially recovering from pregnancy and birth and rebuilding my core stability. Love the simple interface and highly customizable options.

Really love Down dog yoga. It's helping me expand my practice and stay engaged since it is different every time. The customizing options are fantastic! Only suggestion I would make would be more music options without lyrics, but even that is okay because I can use Spotify instead of the built in music. They've pretty much thought of everything!

I have tried other yoga apps and nothing compared to Down Dog. The tutorials are easy to follow and clear, there is a countdown timer for each pose. You can make a selection of focus each day. The music selection is always on point and accessible via other music platforms to create your own zen later. I am truly appreciative for the creators and instructors on this app. Namaste!

I really appreciate the minimalist and elegant design of this app. The UI is clean and intuitive, and the videos and guidance are high quality. You can customize the workout length, focus, music, and voice guidance. I started as a total beginner and am finding I can push myself further and longer after a few weeks of using the app. Worth the subscription, which I don't say lightly.

really solid, always gives a good yoga session, and if you don't like a pose, you can mark that, skip it, and continue on. I love tweaking all the settings, playing around with different kinds of practice. it's been an invaluable learning tool for me as I try to deepen my yoga practice. it can't compete with a live instructor, but for the 15-30 minute sessions when I can't go to a class, it's an excellent tool.

Great app, easy to use, easy to adjust settings. The music selection is great. the yoga poses are great as well. I appreciate that is to the point, guides you, and let's you do your thing (I dislike those apps where the yoga teacher talks and talks, I personally combine their wide with my own mental work, prayer etc). Highly recommended.

I think I've had this app for over 5 years now and I come back to using it every so often. It's consistently wonderful. The mix of poses flow well and with all the settings, you can get a practice that is just right for you. I even remember a time during the pandemic when they helped people who couldn't afford the fee and I'll be forever grateful for that.

If you like doing the same yoga moves every day, this is the app for you. I have tried to vary and alter the course, type of yoga, liked, and unliked moves, and it yields the same routine. Wish it was better. I have tried support, and all suggestions have made no difference. Every day, the app presents the same exact routine. When I submit feedback, I get the same canned useless responses that do nothing to change the routine.

I've been using down dog for years. I'm a yoga teacher and an avid Yogi for about... 20 years now. I have loved this app and their continued improvements. I don't recommend it to beginners because learning the proper joint placement for you can really only happen with a good instructor but if you've done yoga before and know your body, as well as how to avoid injury, then get this app. It's incredibly versatile and I love the music options. wonderful job developers.

really solid yoga app. I definitely am not authoritative on the matter, but as a fat guy with fused vertebrae in my spine, I've been told to get into yoga. I've been doing my best, this app makes it easier. I'm sure I look ridiculous, but it's a start. easy to use UI/UX, extremely customizable, and very soothing music and explanations throughout.

the practices are good, and I like the customization. but they advertise (on their own FAQ) that you can Chromecast the content, and you cannot. doing yoga from a tiny screen to the side of you is not good for form or comfort if you have to look at the screen for pose correction. but up at a large TV directly in front of you and a bit up, absolutely the safer, easier, more comfortable thing to do.

LOVE this app so far. So much customization to choose from based on your particular preference from day to day, like what area of your body you want to 'boost', the type of yoga, experience level, etc. I particularly appreciated being able to choose the voice, and the music is great, too, which is key. Definitely don't feel like I'm missing out by not going to a studio anymore with this app. Can't beat the price, too.
