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.

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!

I think this app is fantastic. Not only is it incredibly user friendly, but also I’m sure just like myself, there’s people out there who do not use on which areas the theragun Is best used for and for how long. Especially when working out a lot muscle areas are more sensitive and need the perfect treatment to recover faster and better, so I love love love that you can choose the workout you just did for example surfing, and it tells you step by step which muscle group to massage and for how long to feel the best. I love that it doesn’t take ages but that most massage videos are like 10-20 min. So you can do this conveniently in between tasks or while watching TV. Not only is it for recovery but also for WARMUPS?! - I never thought of that! - and of course ailments. And they also have content for long hours in front of a computer and gaming so it’s not only focused on certain sports movements. I think that’s so important nowadays because we always sit in front the screen with bad posture. So I think this is amazing!
