FAQ
StretchZen stretching app: frequently asked questions
Short answers to the most common questions.
Is StretchZen free?
Yes. 22 routines, warm-ups for all 13 sports, two programs, one custom routine, one reminder and your progress are free. Premium is optional and unlocks all 74 routines, all 19 programs and more.
How long does a routine take?
Most routines take two to six minutes; Splits Prep takes about ten. The length is shown on the card before you start.
Who are the stretches suitable for?
For healthy adults of any level. Routines have levels, and many stretches work standing, seated or with a chair. If you have pain, an injury or recent surgery, ask your doctor which movements are right for you first.
What are programs?
Plans from 7 to 42 days that build day by day – like 30-Day Splits, Higher Kicks or Deeper Squat. Two are free, all 19 programs come with Premium.
Is StretchZen available for Android?
An Android version is planned. As soon as it is available, you will find the Google Play link here.
Do I need an account?
No. StretchZen works without signing up, and Premium is bought through your Apple Account.
Do I need a mat or equipment?
A mat or a rug is enough. Some stretches use a chair or a wall; no equipment is needed.
Does StretchZen work on iPad?
Yes, StretchZen runs on iPhone and iPad. There is no Apple Watch version.
Do I need any experience?
No. An animated figure shows every stretch, a countdown keeps time, a sound and a vibration announce the next stretch and the side switch, and each stretch has short instructions. Good places to start are the “For Beginners” routine and the free 14-Day Flexibility Kickstart.
How often should I stretch?
The ACSM recommends flexibility exercises on at least two days per week for healthy adults. Short daily routines make it easier to stay consistent.
Does StretchZen replace a warm-up before sports?
The sport warm-ups are dynamic and work as part of your warm-up. An easy jog or movement at game pace still belongs in it.
Can I build my own routines?
Yes. One custom routine is free; with Premium you can save as many as you like. Routines can be shared with a link.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Apple manages subscriptions: iOS Settings › your name › Subscriptions › StretchZen. Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period and it won’t renew.
Which languages is StretchZen available in?
In 35 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Japanese and Chinese.
Is my data shared?
No. StretchZen has no account, no ads and no analytics libraries. Data only leaves your device through your own iCloud or Apple Health, if you turn that on with Premium.
