Barre | Down Dog for Negative User Reviews

Needs steps for beginnersI love the yoga down dog app so I decided to give this one a try. I’ve never done barre. It needs a setting for beginners that goes a little slower between moves to give time to set up and understand what to do. The transitions are more quick and choppy compared to yoga down dog app. It jumped right in and I’m used to a little more warm up too to get stretched out first. I definitely felt the burn and think the workouts have some potential. It was harder than expected. I’ll keep trying but if some more features were added for different levels of workout that would be great..Version: 5.6.0

No armsI was disappointed that there was no specific arm segment. It was all lower body and abs. My bigger disappointment was the music. I chose pop and had a song play that had curse words in it. I had to stop my workout and change the music to dance....also had curse words. Rating songs and changing the playlist during my workout is not something I want to do. Also the count down was not accurate. It would count down to zero but the exercise would continue and another countdown would start. Other than that I do like the app okay but it is not as good as down dog..Version: 4.7.0

Good workouts, glitchy app⬆️..Version: 4.9.0

Annoying bug on an otherwise great appHave used this app almost daily since lockdown started and it’s great. Love that the workouts vary a bit every time and how easy it is to change certain things like time, music, etc. However since the new year there is a bug that causes the video to freeze roughly every 6 minutes, and the only way to address is to end the practice and start a completely new one every single time - frustrating as you never pick up where you left off. Have uninstalled / re-installed, tried different video qualities, and no one will reply to my email 😭.Version: 6.1.5

First timeMuch harder than expected- really effective. Probably won’t be able to walk tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing improvement in my form and strength.Version: 4.4.7

Not as slick as the other Down Dog appsI really like the other Down Dog apps, but unfortunately they haven’t nailed this one. The exercises are skittish - cross your legs… wait, do a leg lift…wait, she’s back with crossed legs. No warm up or cool down. Why don’t they spend some time making this a great barre experience?.Version: 6.4.0

Bring back titles for saved practicesWould love specific titles for target areas for saved practices rather than ‘barre total body’ regardless of which target area you choose. Also would like the option to choose either plank or crunch exercises for core work outs..Version: 6.3.0

BarreI am new to barre,having been involved with your yoga app. I am either in the wrong spot,or,find your beginning level very short on instructions! I am having difficulty figuring out where all my part should be. If you have a suggestion pls let me know. Susan.Version: 5.6.0

ConfusedJust seemed a bit of a rehash of their yoga app. Glad it came as part of package. Don’t think I would have paid for this separately..Version: 4.7.0

Great workout, trashy musicI enjoyed the workout and high quality video. There were a few glitches of random video clips inserted into the workout which was confusing. There were also no transitions, leaving you scrambling from laying on the floor to suddenly stand up with a chair. I have used down dog for yoga and never had this issue. I assume these are things that will get smoothed out?? The music was horrible! Found myself spending half the time changing the songs because of vulgarity. I want to be able to do a workout with my daughter and not have to worry about profanity and lyrics such as “I’m gonna take your bra off with my dirty teeth” or “These drugs don’t work, I just can’t get high.” Seriously?? Who made this music track? Not what I’m looking for when trying to reach wellness in the morning. Please change the music..Version: 4.4.2

Overall okayI’m a fan and a longtime user of the Down Dog yoga app. Like other reviewers have mentioned some of the moves are very difficult and the model makes me sad because she has such a sad, sullen expression..Version: 6.1.5

Yoga great. Barre needs improvementThe yoga app is great. The barre app needs improvement. It should have levels of difficulty or modification. Some exercises are not designed if you have weak back muscles. You are simply going to extend your back and hurt yourself. Yes it is good for your abdominals, but not for your lower back. The app should come with levels or increase in difficulty. If you arch your back when lifting your legs on the matt, which people do if you are not an expert or advanced for that matter, they hurt their back. This is something every instructor would tell you in person. It’s just not designed well for someone that wants a bit more difficulty, but isn’t ready for a 4 minute plank..Version: 5.6.0

Good but needs different levels!I like the barre for something different, but I wish there were different levels as I find some of the moves too difficult and would like to have some scaled options.Version: 5.4.0

Barre compared to other down dog programsNot quite enough explanation to ensure that the position is correct.Version: 6.0.0

Not as good as other down dog appsA good work out but relies on you already knowing ballet terminology, explanations sometimes came half way through and exercise.Version: 4.8.1

Not sureI love the yoga app, but not sure about this. You can’t select a level, and I felt it was pushing me a bit too much..Version: 4.6.1

Barre not really for beginnersI spend most of the time trying to figure out how to set myself up for each exercise and then it's on to the next move. I don't know a lot of the vocab for a Barre class either, so it's just really confusing to know what to do. I would love more spoken directions...maybe an option for a slower pace to accomplish this. I felt frustrated most of the time. A completely different experience than the Yoga app (which I love!!)..Version: 6.2.1

Not great for beginnersI wanted to love this. The exercises are great, but there is too little time between transitions, making it hard to keep up. Also, I found I had to keep moving my phone so I could see the instructions, and keep checking back to the video. It would be better if the voiceover was more descriptive so I don’t need to check as much..Version: 6.6.0

BarreThe Barre app is awful. The sequences are overlapping the whole practice with no time to get on time for the next move. Stressful and frustrating..Version: 5.2.3

Needs work but goodIt's a new app and needs some tweaking, but with a little work this could be a very helpful app. I take Barre classes twice a week and want to use this for the off days, but the pace is way too fast, some of the videos are janky, and a few times the video didn't match up with the workout. It would be nice to have a pace setting like the Down dog yoga app. I will keep coming back to this to check for any updates..Version: 4.4.6

Not as good as down dogDefinitely not as good as original down dog app. The transitions are quite choppy and noticeable. On the floor work, they say curl for both curling head up and for curling hips up which is annoying. There is no warm up. The exercises target certain muscles I.e. quads but then there is no stretch for those muscles. It’s a really cool idea and the original down dog yoga app has these issues worked out plus is super customizable. I hope they keep working on this app to get it to that level..Version: 4.6.1

BarreThe yoga app (down dog) is great but Barre is awful. The only pro is that it does provide a large number of exercises for the body part you want to focus on. The negatives are many: 1) arms are completely left out, you can target most other body parts but not arms at all 2) there is no adjustment for ability level. Many of the excises given are too hard for me and the video doesn’t provide any modifications for making the move easier or harder 3) the verbal directions are terrible. The instructor says vague things like “lift” (lift what? In what direction?) “tuck” (tuck what? How?) “squeeze” (squeeze what? For how long?) “lift to the side” (what side?). And, even if you watch the video while trying to do the exercises it is very hard to see what movements the demonstrator is doing. 4) sometimes numbers are shown on the screen counting down how much longer you need to do the exercises and sometimes they don’t appear at all. It is frustrating to not know how much longer an exercise will last. 5) the music is very repetitive. I’ve heard the same songs over and over..Version: 6.5.1

RidiculousThe Barre app is too hard, no warmup, sequences are not though through, you want be able to do all of them unless you are in really good shape..Version: 5.7.1

CrashesCrashes on first boot Please help me fix it.Version: 5.7.0

Room to ImproveI’ve been a user of DownDog Yoga for almost a year now and since it is a great app, I decided to give Barre a go. Although a good app allover, some things can improve. More instructions regarding the moviments would be welcomed since you can’t look at the screen at all times (and if you are a newbie like me, sometimes you just don’t know what yo do). A little room in between moviments with different positions also would help. While doing the crunches, I had a hard time following because they were all different and there was no time to adjust to a new position. That being said, I still believe it is a good app and want to congratulate the team for their work and for keeping innovating..Version: 5.0.0

OKYoga Buddhi Pty: I am sure this a good app (going by the comments) and I understand that you require finance for them, HOWEVER, it would behove you (ie, be in your best interest and any would be interested downloaders) to be upfront in the initial spiel with the fact that it s a trial download only - in my case until 15 August - and I need to sign n with google/Facebook/whatever. After that I can assume it’s pay - in which case the amt is also required upfront. Having said that the comments indicate that this is a very good app and would be exactly what I need to help rid me of the ‘virus flab’ and the laziness I have acquired, even though wag from home. I may re-download at a later stage but this time around I will be deleting the app. It will be recorded in my book of future apps..Version: 4.9.0

Superb and Strong sessionsThank you for sharing your apps during these changing times. I have tried 2 off the three and have enjoyed them all tremendously. Barre which I’ve never tried before now has me hooked. 🙌🏾🙏🏽🙌🏾.Version: 4.6.1

Frozen IIIHad high hopes of using this app but it is perpetually frozen after pressing start. Tried re-installing it 3x to no avail. :(.Version: 4.7.0

Good workouts but app keeps freezingApp allows you to choose duration, focus of workout, music type and has good instructions but keeps freezing when requiring selection..Version: 4.6.1

Where are the levels?Too hard for beginners.Version: 5.6.0

NarrationAméliorer la narration en donnant plus d’explication, des trucs et des postures alernatives..Version: 6.4.0
