Clinical review

Reviewer: Olivia Hadlow HNCT, Head Trainer at Negative 25 Training, Registered Clinical Nutritionist
Date of review: September 2025
Platform: Apple
Version: 4.34.3
Comments: StretchIt provides clear, structured video lessons that can help people improve flexibility and mobility over time. The range of programmes, goal setting and progress tracking make it motivating for users who want direction with their stretching. However, the app requires a paid subscription after the short free trial and it doesn’t provide live feedback, which may limit safety for beginners or those with injuries. Overall, it’s a strong option for people wanting guided stretching at home, but the cost and lack of individual supervision are important considerations.
Safety concerns: While the app provides clear video demonstrations, there is no live feedback to correct form. Users may overstretch or push too far, particularly when working on advanced goals like splits or backbends. This could increase the risk of strain or injury, especially for beginners or those with existing joint or muscle issues. The app also doesn’t include medical screening to check whether the exercises are suitable for individual users.
New Zealand relevance: The app can be useful for New Zealanders who want guided stretching and mobility sessions at home or while travelling. However, it isn’t tailored to the New Zealand context, there are no local references, cultural considerations or links to New Zealand health services.
