Good but missing basic features

I like the interface and stretches. I gave 3 stars because I can’t edit a custom routine nor can I copy a routine to use as a base for a new one. This means every time I want a change I have to start all the way over and make a new routine.

Add intermediate poses please or a button to take pictures and add custom poses

Would give 5 stars if you add at least 100 yoga poses. There’s some poses I would like to add to my routine but can’t which makes it difficult for me to do yoga at home by myself because of my ADHD. I have to remember what pose to do after a certain pose which makes it a bit of a challenge for me to complete my routine. I do love how easy it is to navigate the app. Please add more poses. Or at least add a button where I can take pictures and name and add my own custom poses please. That would help so many people who has to modify their poses to use like yoga blocks , straps and blosters due to like a injury or age.

Totally worthless without 💰

Another App Store pariah that shoots to the top of these pay to play lists where Apple allows companies to rise the ranks without providing ANY value to the end user. If you don’t pay, it lets you do literally nothing. How does an app rise without being free on the free apps? Late stage capitalism baby.

Now I stretch 3 times a DAY

Bend gives me a way to stay consistent with stretching regularly. I used to dread stretching because it felt like a waste of time. But now I look forward to it!

Loving Bend

I have had spinal cord surgery 1 1/2 yrs ago. Bend has helped me regain so much. I love it! It changed so much for me! Between surgery and normal aging I felt like I’d lost myself but I’m back to like i was 10 yrs ago! Thank you!

Back on track

After years of not working out decided to check this app and it is fantastic! It gives you small routines that anyone can do anytime ! I felt energized the first day!
