Pros and cons of Tai Chi Yang app for iPhone and iPad

Tai Chi Yang app good for

Can you include airplay feature? It would make a great app even better...
Contains about 45 minutes of video, instead of one hour. Aside from that, great app. The videos are in English, the app loads with no problem, and based on my initial look at the videos, the content is all there. I have 14 years of experience practicing karate, and I look forward to using this app to add Tai chi to my skill set.
Since trying to down load this app I havent been able to download any other app for iPad. I tried twice and each time the app would close immediately upon trying to open. I wish I had never seen this app.
A beautiful application. Well constructed with good navigation, great photography and excellent music and audio. Theres abundant material here. Its a good value. While the demos are progressive, it appears to be quite advanced for this beginner. This will be challenge and a pleasure! This is class app.
I had been taking tai chi class but I had to stop because it was getting expensive. $150 per month for my wife and me. I wanted to finish learning yang-style 64 movement tai chi. The app teaches it in even greater detail than the instructors we were learning from and is saving me $3600 over the next two years. Couldnt be happier!!

Some bad moments

For what its worth. It shows you some but not all postures and it is very very basic, i expected much more teaching, especially for the price (5,99$) but i guess you pay for the graphics and animation...
The language is stated to be in english but actually is in French.
What the ????. The ad says English Language. However, the app is not in English. It is in a foreign language that I do not understand. When I reported the problem to Apple, Apple passes the buck on to a developer site that is also foreign to English. Apple accepts no responsability and offers no credit for a misrepresented product. Is the zero support and interest on Apples behalf the same for other apps that Apple sells? What have I gotten into with Apple and Itunes? Buyer beware!
The description should be in FRENCH! Stop trying to hide the truth to make more sales. Why is the description of the app in English? The cleverly hidden warning is placed 3 empty paragraphs away from the rest of the description. This is not sufficient placement of notification. Especially when the first language listed in the Apple description is English. A similar tai chi app has its description in NON ENGLISH. Please put the description in French and stop trying to rip people off. Please be warned. I feel they cheated me and I want my money back. Just to be clear they know enough english to write an english description of the application but dont go to the effort of having the videos subtitled into English. LAME. Oh yeah, you have to rotate the ipad after you make a selection from the menu when you select a video to watch. Thats the worst bit of programming I have ever seen. Makes it unusable if you have the ipad in a stand that only holds the ipad one direction. How can you do the tai chi movements while having to change the orientation of the videos after a selection? Once again - LAME. Dont buy. This app gives Tai Chi, the French and computer programmers a bad name.
I cannot get any sound on this app and the site will not accept my email address.
I am unable to even launch the app. Cant beleive I paid and cant even get on view its contents.
