Therabody 12+

Though I may have a few suggestions for improvement, my overall impression of the app is great! Its user-friendly interface makes it so easy to use and discover lots of different techniques you might not otherwise know. The app’s broad selection of routines virtually covers all the bases for different activity levels and lifestyles. I love the fact that you can set your routine preferences based on your own needs and the app generates a set of routines for you! I’d also like to add that the company did a fantastic job synthesizing the cutting-edge design of the Theragun with the high quality of the app. The features and content definitely don’t seem to have gone without great consideration for customer needs and innovative instruction. I liked the 2D demos included in each routine; however, I think short clips (animated or live) demonstrating the movements might prove to be a bit more helpful! I also think that as you’re able to tap through steps in a routine to mark them completed, it would be great if you could also do the same for stretching intervals instead of tapping once on a step and immediately being directed to the next step. Nevertheless,I’m very pleased with the app and would definitely recommend it!

While I have a few suggestions on making this app slightly better, it’s easy to use and makes using my massage gun seem more meaningful than trying to guess best practices or looking for another source. I like with some of the routine that you can choose to watch it as a drawing to self guide or watch a video of someone demonstrating it. Although the button to see the video wasn’t where I would initially look to start the routine, so that’s one opportunity I had for the app. Another thing I found awesome was the different scenarios you could chose from to start that routine, like “tech neck” or “pre-walk”. This is as a cool way to encourage me to use it in more situations than I even planned. Lastly, my biggest issue I have with the app is there is no way to quickly see (other than clicking on each individual routine) how long it is. I need to know if I’m clicking on a 3 minute routine or an 8 minute one. So being able to see that easier (maybe on the main explore page) and/or actually being able to have a filter button to filter through the routines may be very helpful! Overall, great app! Even without my suggestions the app does a great job and I will continue to use it!

The UX is extremely well done and the stylistic choices made in creating the app aesthetically really make it a pleasure to navigate! The routines are seamlessly thoughtful and well put together and for me, they add a layer of confidence to pre and post activity massage-gun sessions (making them something to look forward to even if it’s the last thing your sore muscles are looking forward to.) I really like that it’s accessible to all massage-gun brand owners and that the app addresses focus to a wide range of active lifestyles, not just folks who lift weights or play a popular organized sport (the gaming, equestrian, and lifestyle routines really impressed me!) I also enjoy that this app takes a more proactive approach to using the Theragun, having routines simply for wellness practices and self care routines, not just to react to an ailment or to recover from a workout (which is how a lot of individuals use their massage-guns).

Really in love with everything about this app, I would give it 6 stars if I could. The only thing I think could be improved is the graphics for forearm “flexors” and “extensors”. I can’t really tell from either guide how they’re different from each other.
