Pros and cons of Aikido-ALL app for iPhone and iPad

Aikido-ALL app good for

Excellent for reviewing, especially with little practice time. Missing techniques however, esp. kneeling ones.

… an Autorepeat Funktion of the Videos, as the previous user mentioned, would be great. Would make the training al lot more fluent instead of constantly pushing the start video button again and again. Thanx…

Well done, guys! Its really very helpful, especially slow motion and close-up. Please, fix the bugs in iOS 5.1 on newIPAD, it crashes and hangs very often!

Some bad moments

Would like to be able to loop individual videos, all videos on one technique and play consecutive videos with looping. Want to see more omote and ura versions of techniques. More variations, especially koshinage and kokyunage. Rokyo and aikiotoshi. Suwariwaza and hanmi hantachi. Ill let you know if theres anything else. ;)

The content and video of this app are amazing! However, I wish I had purchased the app in its individual sections (Basic 1, Basic 2, etc) because in the full app everything is jumbled together. As a beginner I was hoping to start with the more basic techniques, but because there is no organization option for level I cant really pick out which techniques I should be studying now vs later when I have advanced a bit more. I would also love to see a feature where you can click on the name of the move and have it pronounced aloud.

Well worth the price for the full app. Multi-view video and quality of videos far exceed anything else out there. The ability to access videos without a data signal is wonderful. This is a great resource for review, clarification, and new techniques for beginners. Suggestions: Please add a loop feature. Please add weapons kata (including armed against unarmed waza). A final humble suggestion would be to add some sort of "Tips and Tricks" section (e.g. basic ukemi, break falls, shikkou and fine points or details to specific techniques). Thanks again for a great app!

Yes, loops; please add loops. And slo-mo close-up. OMG. That would be excellence.

An excellent tool for prepping for class & review afterwards. Its also useful during break as it helps me formulate questions for the instructor. The only thing missing for me is an auto-replay feature on the videos. It might also be nice to be able to create a playlist of videos. i.e. heres what we did on Monday, or look at these before your next class, etc. Thanks for making a great tool.

If you are an Aikido practitioner than you could use this app. The video is superb, the amount of different angles, as well as close-up, and slow motion are unbelievable. This is the best app for after my class, I can open this app and review a technique we had gone over in class if I had a question. It is like having a instructor in your iPad!
