  • Great music, app not so much

    Broken eyes

    Okay, 5+ stars for the music selection. I’ve been doing something of a angry music detox this past year and when I was trying this app out, a number of the tracks went on to a private playlist for my every day use, The music selection is frankly just that good and varied enough that I have no problems listening to it outside of the yoga studio. So, it really kills me to have to give this only three stars and I sincerely hope this gets addressed as this is a great app, that a few minor tweaks in my opinion, would make it a essential in any yoga teachers toolbox.The single largest issue the app has his stability. The first few times that I used it for a class, I had to reset the app multiple times. Initially I thought it was a memory issue and close out all but the app on my phone, but the problem persisted, I ultimately had to fall back on Pandora for music.Another issue is that the user interface does have a bit of a learning curve. First couple times I played around with it, I assumed that I had done everything right, only to find that about two hours worth of music selection never was properly saved and had to rely on a premade list.As I said, the music selection simply is the best for Yoga (many types and can even be tailored according to the season) as well as for every day use, the stability issues and interface however just hurt this app. If these two issues are addressed I will definitely download and use it again.

  • A company of real people

    DrLauraMichelle

    I’ve been a YogiTunes user for four years, and I love how there are real people that I can connect with. When the app upgrade happened, yes there were some hiccups, yet an email out to their team solved the problem and got me back on track. Small ethical companies do not function like big ones. There are people who care on the other end. When we communicate our needs, Phoenix or another awesome YogiTunie is there to assist. I’m so grateful for the music, community feel, awesome mixes and knowing the artists are fairly compensated. I’ll continue to use YogiTunes for my studio needs! Thank you YogiTunes for all you do!!

  • An essential companion

    yogini jam

    I teach trauma-informed yoga for in-patients and out patients at a hospital for their Behavioral Health dept. Having ambient music to “hold space” is a must during my yoga classes. I share deep practices like nada yoga and yoga nidra to help shift nervous system states. Navigating the complex world of trauma is hard. Having music that I feel connected with helps me to regulate so that all of my patients can co-regulate with me. When there are problems, the sweet and supportive staff at yogi tunes are just an email away. I absolutely LOVE yogi tunes and am thankful to have this as an essential companion teaching with me!

  • Good Start, Confusing UI, Not Yet Worth the Cost

    DavidDPhoenix

    Great music, clunky app...It seems the UI tries to hard to be different, rather than keeping the design intuitive and standard with other music apps. Searching music genres, getting a whole album to play, going back to previously played tracks, cueing without accidentally playing should all be much easier, especially for those who actually want to take advantage of the variety of music here on the fly during a yoga class. The tapas has left the building, replaced by anger, by the time you can get anywhere in this app. Charging $9 month is insulting at this point.

    Developer Response

    Hey DavidDPhoenix,Our Mobile App has gone through much growth since then, though I do agree with you, our early releases left something to be desired. Much of this has been rectified now, with Offline Playback, Custom Playlists, Favoriting and Sync with your Web account, so you always have access to your favorite sounds!We appreciate your feedback and hope you will give us another whirl!Namaste

  • Requires subscription, which I have

    Ibifdy

    I love YogiTunes. I have a subscription through the website. When I open the app, it says I must subscribe. There is no option to tell it that I am already paying YogiTunes monthly, just not through the AppStore, because I subscribed through the website before downloading the app. It seems that the app is only for new users, which is pretty crappy. At least I can still use the service I pay for with my mobile browser. This review is about the app, which is completely useless for current paid users.

    Developer Response

    We appreciate the love even though you were experiencing glitches with the App! The app is most certainly for paid users, however we did have a recent glitch this year which unfortunately was causing log in issues for some subscribers. We have since fixed this and the new version is available to download in the app store. We are more than happy to assist you via live chat or email when glitches such as this arise. If you have any other feedback or need further support, please reach out to us at info@yogitunes.com we would be happy to hear from you :) Namaste!
