DYWM App please!?

Yoga Off The Mat

Hi DYWM!

What are your thoughts on creating a yoga App?

Here is my story. I love DYWM. I love the instructors, love your mission, and I love the class search functionality that lets me find the right class for the right moment.

But I’m frustrated. I like to do yoga when I travel, sometimes in places with weak or no WiFi. So I purchased and downloaded some audio classes. To access the classes on my iPad, I had to go through a rather painstaking process of downloading 2 separate apps because for some weird reason the classes I wanted weren’t available in 1. I had to get Gumroad and Bandcamp. Neither of which are useful to me in any other way in my life. Then later, when I went to do a class, the app had updated and the classes had moved to the cloud and were no longer on my device, so I couldn’t even do yoga. Sigh. What a laborious process with no reward.

So I admit I started looking into yoga apps with a download function. I tried a handful of them. I’ve spent the last couple months doing a daily practice with another service because the app was just more convenient, for travel and in my normal morning routines. But unfortunately, I miss DYWM. This morning I did a class with Rachel Scott and it was just everything I was missing with the other yoga app. I just want DYWM, but like, the 2020 app version.

I’m not proud to admit that the extra steps of opening safari, navigating to your site and then finding my favorites, etc. are a little inconvenient. But Apps are easier. And easier means more yoga in my busy life.

Thanks for your consideration,

Hi riverleft.

That was nice to read, thank you. And thanks for the feedback! We recognize that the process feels laborious. We are actually in the process of creating an app. We’re not sure yet if a temporary download function will be available on it, but we can let you know once we do.

Thanks again,

David

Thanks for the reminder. It’s been delayed a bit. We’re looking most likely at September right now.

What about the website upgrade that would allow all those improvements i.e. bookmarks, calendar etc ?

The website upgrade is delayed as well. Most likely it will launch in October.

Thank you for working on this David. Having an easy, direct way via an app to access/download would be so generous.

I notice your app isn’t available on Samsung tvs😢

@dmco6863 I’m sorry, no the app isn’t available on the Samsung store. We’ve chosen to support only OTT devices at this point which includes the Roku, AppleTV, Android TV and Amazon FireTV. The Samsung app store is a different ecosystem that our app doesn’t currently support. I’d highly recommend buying a Roku or Amazon Fire stick. They are fairly inexpensive.

Thank you. My husband says there’s a new Chromecast coming out soon that he’d like to get.

Yes the Chromecast is good too, but you will have to cast from our website to your TV is you use that method. It seems to work well though.
