Supernatural - Companion App 12+

Good but not quite there yet

On the plus side I think we’re just seeing the beginning of VR, AR and 360 degree virtual workouts so Supernatural is headed in the right direction. The scenery is beautiful and the music is great. There are trainers who emphasize the right positioning and movement so it feels like more of a workout than something like Beat Saber and I did work up a sweat in the 3 workouts I’ve done so far.
However the trainer instruction doesn’t seem synced to my movements so whether or not I hit a target, the voice says something like “well done.” It feels very impersonal.
On top of that I hope a future update introduces machine learning to adapt to your fitness level, strengths and weaknesses just like a fitness class would offer modifications based on personal aptitude.
There’s also no real warm up and absolutely no cool down. They should add both of these sequences as mini “workouts” to the program so that someone who wanted to use this in place of a fitness app would find a full service experience.
Right now it feels more like a game that happens to have some avatars in yoga pants. I do have a paid subscription and will continue to use because I think they’re headed in the right direction but they need to work on their fitness credibility and content strategy otherwise it’s not worth it.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate your time in writing the review. Most of the available workouts do have a warmup and cool down period, curious to see how you'd like it to be expanded as well as any other feature requests/ideas you may have.

The most painless cardio available

I’ve been a VR enthusiast for years, and recently began using supernatural. I previously would run 5 miles 4 times a week, then I adopted 2 young kids….and have packed on a few pounds. After repeatedly failing to get motivated, I gave supernatural a shot, and have been beyond impressed.
From the first session, it was clear this would be far less of a slog than traditional cardio, maybe even fun. Granted, the first few sessions were kind of tough, but after a couple weeks I was having a blast and looking forward to my workouts. The boxing and flow both provide great workouts, and compliment each other well.
After about 2 months I am going strong, and only have a few critiques. I have graduated to hard workouts and love a challenge. The pros only workouts are very demanding, but I wish there were more of them. My biggest complaint is the duration of the workouts. I try for about an hour 5 times a week. I usually break this into a few 20-30 min sessions, but am quickly running out of new hard workouts. Most seem to be 10-15 mins…I can stack them, but switching the menus and choosing takes time. Also, I don’t quite understand the scoring and point system. My accuracy is always over 99 percent even when I miss strokes, and I don’t understand the numerical score.

Best VR Workout App Ever!!

I just want to start out by saying how happy I am that I found this app when I purchased an Oculus a month or so ago. I’d been searching for something to help me on my fitness and weight loss journey and let me just say….I’ve Definitely found it with Supernatural! I love the boxing workouts the most, but I also enjoy the flow ones too. I love all of the trainers and the way they keep me motivated throughout the workouts. I love the way they have low, medium, and high intensity workouts, so I’ve been able to build myself up at my pace. The Quick Hit workouts are amazing and I try to do a couple of them each day just to get me started. Supernatural has changed everything for me. They’ve made working out fun for me and I love that the most. I do the paid subscription and I feel like it’s the best money that I’ve spent on an app ever. Thank you guys for putting so much work into this app and making it the best fitness app I’ve ever seen. So many different workouts and different intensity levels and the absolute best music to get you up and moving. I recommend this to everyone I know and I will continue to. Keep up the amazing work and thank you again! I’m off to go box some more. Who’d ever thought that working out could ever be this much fun? Not me that’s for sure. ;) A Million Stars from me!!
