  Great App

  The variety and I’m not an expert but can follow just fine.

• ★★★★★Ziemer90

  Worth it

  Ease of use and wide variety of routines make this a must have app. Worth the subscription for sure. It’s been helping me a lot.

• ★★★★★TnTDucks

  Great app, outrageous price

  I would gladly pay a one-time fee of $20-40 for this app, but to pay that for a yearly subscription is nuts! Imagine using this for ten years and realizing you paid $200-400 for this app. I can get similar exercise for free on YouTube.

• ★★★★★Brennadiane88

  I always feel better after I get some stretching in, and Bend fits nicely into pretty much any schedule.

• ★★★★★SuzCTWV

  Not worth the money

  As far as I can tell, the movements are the same that you can get off social media for free. Not to mention I tried the five minute morning stretch every morning for 20 days, and it never got easier.. There’s no instruction how to do the moves other than a drawn image. For example, are those moves supposed to be with your heels, touching the floor or can they be raised up a little. What are alternatives to the child pose? Anyways, subscription canceled and app deleted.

  Great App

  Had a similar app, it stopped working, was so happy when I found Bend, there is an animated person/instructor doing the movement w/you during the timer, the timer is great as well and it will indicate w/a beep and a visual it’s the halfway mark and to switch sides.
