    I can increase or decrease the time for each stretch as I need. Like the tips for form & for increasing the intensity. Like that it keeps track of my days.

    I truly love this app. First off, the infrastructure itself is flawless and I’ve never experienced any frustration navigating the layout. Secondly, Bend’s targeted stretch series’ make tailoring your focus effortless. And most importantly, the effortless nature is applicable to participating in each sequence as well with its thorough written directions, the pause, skip, and repeat features, and the clear but non disruptive indicator sound signaling to switch sides or stretches. There is not a single thing about this app that I would change. I am truly so grateful for this app as it has allowed me to develop a more positive relationship with my body and moving it with intention and respect. DISCLAIMER: I know my language makes this review sound like a paid ad BUT I promise you that is due to my autism, NOT a financial incentive. I’m absolutely obsessed with Bend

    I love how easy it is to customize routines. I love that the timer stops if I leave the app which forces me to focus on the stretches.
