* BACKGROUND:
Stretch HD was created by an Australian Physiotherapist who found firstly a large proportion of his patients were unfamiliar with common stretching techniques, and secondly there wasn’t already a high quality, evidence-based video stretching app on the market.
* FEATURES:
• Over 60 HD professionally filmed videos, for every ability level
• Informative instruction screens for each stretch
• User-friendly, intuitive access to videos
• Stretch by suggested area, suggested routine, or even personalise your routine in “Favorites”
• Postural advice and videos
• “Share” via email allows trainers or health professionals to communicate programs with clients
• Helpful stretching theory (literature review), FAQs and a glossary
• Play your music while you stretch
* APPROPRIATE FOR USE BY THE MEDICAL AND SPORTING COMMUNITIES:
Stretch HD was developed for the general public, but is also suitable for use by medical professionals and sports trainers to augment patient and client communication and outcomes. The app has a balanced mix of technical and lay terms to facilitate communication. Included stretches are suitable for all levels of ability, including people with low back pain, those with postural issues at work, people recovering from injuries or post-operative rehab, and even fit athletes. The “Share” function also allows seamless email distribution of stretches.
IMPORTANT: This is a large app and must be downloaded once-off over a Wi-Fi connection. Please be patient! In order to accommodate the HD videos on your device the app will only take a few minutes to download in full, thereby allowing full access to you wherever you may be.

Closes - cant even use. :-(
Finally snoozing
Well, it looks good in the app store but I am unable to open the app at all. After accepting the terms of use it abnormally ends. Can't get I to open. Deleted and reinstalled and still no luck.
Very limited

For what it does? It does it well. It just doesn't do much. Even listing stretches in Favorites doesn't give you much of a "routine" to work through. Building in a timer would be nice. Providing continuous play is an absolute necessity. Great visuals. Poor software design.
Potential is there, but .....

Seems like there's a lot of information, however it's not UI. There are just too many screens to look through. Simplify or consolidate or ......., but make it UI. Another drawback is too many in app purchase. Group the in app purchases to simplify things. Just too much thinking went into producing this app, simplify/simplify.
Love it

I was in a car accident and have gone through months of physical therapy for a shoulder injury and back and neck pain. This app helps me do my stretches at home to speed my recovery.
Great information. Lacks guided routines.

This app is basically an encyclopedia of stretches. There is a lot of content, detailed explanations, and clear videos to illustrate each stretch. However, there are no real-time routines to follow. Great for reference, but if you're looking for coaching, you may want to look elsewhere.
No timers for routine

I agree with the first review. It would be great to have a timed routine, I.e. 1 hr full body stretch routine, or 30 minute stretch routine. Would be great if it showed a picture of the stretch and made a sound when it's time to go to the next stretch. Otherwise this app looks clean and has a nice design and videos but lacks functionality.
