Overall good.. Best app in my opinion out the for jumping rope. Like the accuracy of counting jumps. Only problem so far has been the heart rate monitor during jumps is not good.

Great!. I love jumping. And this app is one of a kind! It’s really useful. Plus, full health app integration! However, id like to share a curious bug. I had to reinstall the app since the watch app wasn’t logging anything!

Absolute Best. This is the best jumprope app ever! I have so many options like interval training and jump counts and it’s accurate! Highly recommended!

Needs Some Work. There are some good aspects to this app like the HIIT mode. However, it doesn’t accurately count the reps. The count is always about ten reps behind your actual count. Also, very difficult to hear the sounds which makes it hard to keep track.

The only perfect jump rope app…. The only app that... 1) does all the basics right and simple 2) reads and writes to Apple Health 3) (most important) is easy to use as a Watch app, including control via Siri. NO need to put phone in pocket! Skipping rope is an excellent next-level workout beyond brisk-walking. I don't need tons of fancy techniques, just want jump count, calories, etc - and for it to be reported with other workouts. PS When ready, I suggest moving up to a weighted rope (burns more cal's and strengthens arms). YaoYao detects and reports this in the form of increased HR and cal's.

Just amazing. I was planning to buy a 100$ jump rope which counts skips as i always do 5k skips a day. So after a month was considering this when i came across this app after installing 5 apps of the same. Glad i paid about 2$ for this as it is totally worth it. When using, i counted manually for 2 days to compare this and it is 100% accurate. Shows number of calories burned, daily workouts, other participants over the world, heart beat etc. All in all 100% for this. Love it

Great app. Seems reasonably accurate to me, I really enjoy setting the number of jumps before each workout and trying to accomplish that goal. Great motivational tool.... For me anyway.

The only legit jump rope app. There are certain things a jump rope app MUST have (such as Apple watch functionality, rep counter, various jump settings). This app has them all. I was skeptical about purchasing this app, normally I like trying an app before purchasing. In this case, I'm really glad I took the leap of faith. One small step for me, one giant leap for jumpers everywhere.

Inaccurate.. Wrist has to move in a certain way in order for the app to count.

Best Jump Rope App. I only use this app for jumping rope. I even prefer it over my Apple Watch’s jump rope. I have used several others apps but this one is the best. My only wish is for you to add steps or distance along with the calories, time speed etc. The count is very accurate. I was tired during my jumping today so I tried to cheat by walking and it paused the count. I’m glad I couldn’t cheat. It’s a great app and I have no complaints or “cons”. Thank you for inventing this app.

Poor execution. Japanese writing? Yeah I know English isn't the international language. Also it doesn't count accurately. It missed many of my jumps so it's worthless. However it is nice that the watch can be used as a stand alone device. That is the phone doesn't have to be in your pocket. Just need to fix the jump counter. Maybe it's not sensitive enough? Update Aug 2017. Doesn't work very good at all. Just did a practice jump and it only counted 1 jump out of over 100. Nice try. Update 2019 with iWatch5. Still not very good. Hardly records any jumps. It might get about 5-10% of my jumps unless I really over exaggerate my wrist motion which is not natural, and then it’s still not very accurate. Still not impressed. I even set the sensitivity to max. Made no difference.

Takes workouts to the next level. Game-ifying skipping rope like this is absolutely brilliant. I am now determined to keep leveling up. Accurate, interactive and keeps information accessible. Perfect for COVID-19 workouts.

Cool in concept. Cool concept, but having issues with the app recording data. In short, it doesn’t. Ha. It will record and display results during a workout, but the data does not get saved for future reference, as per the screen shots above. Jump count, calories, workouts, etc. Nothing is saving in the app. It does, however, sync generic Yao Yao “workout” instances and times with the iOS Activity app. So I’ve just been using it for that purpose to be able to identify separate jump rope workouts and times in the Activity app. Unfortunately, I’m not able to enjoy the native tracking, medals, gamification, etc. within the native app. Oh well. On an iPhone X, Apple Watch Series 1, iOS 11.2.2, and app version 1.5.6. I’ve enabled all data sharing permissions within the Health app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app. No luck.

there is a bug about voice tip. I feel this app is really convenient when it functions. I really enjoy knowing how many jumps i have achieved. However, the voice tip usually being replaced by a vibration after i change different mode like hiit. I am wondering can i keep that voice tip with real human voice rather than vibration all the time? Thanks

Help!. My app is no longer connecting to my watch. Somehow it was disconnected from my watch, and now when I go to reinstall the the app to my watch from my phone it will not install. Please help. This is one of my favorite workout apps.

Great app!. Makes jumping rope way more enjoyable. The app starts automatically when you start jumping and it pauses when you rest. The number of jumps is accurate and it notifies every 100 jumps. I recommend it.

Excellent. I really enjoy this app and it seem very accurate for what I use it for

Love it! But..... So I got this app because I wanted to track my progress with jumping rope. I love the interface and it’s cute mascot BUT my only gripe is that I can’t edit the number of jumps. I have a jump rope that counts my jumps that I use in tandem with this app and the rope counts by rotation. Unfortunately, by the end of my work out the number of jumps on the app is far behind the number on the rope. In short, I like this app but I just wish I could edit my number so that it could be more accurate.

Best Jumprope app tracker. Tracks to exact # best app to keep track of progress leaderboards is another plus to keep you motivated

Works Great!. Thanks for making a great app! The counting is accurate, it helps me track my progress, there’s leaderboards, achievements, tracks jumps and heart rate. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and highly recommend!

Just what I needed. Loving the app so far after a month. Using my Apple Watch to count jumps and seems as accurate counting as I would be myself (just 1 or 2 difference here and there). Really like the history view by day to get totals, not sure what leveling up does but it’s cute and motivating, custom daily goal is nice. Overall has a lot more than I expected - I really just needed an accurate jump counter. Plus the silly reindeer mascot is fun, and you can share workout summary graphics in messages or social media.

Good at first. It was accurate the first few days, but now it is showing about twice the amount of calories per workout with a similar amount of jumps. I hope this gets fixed soon. Otherwise it is accurate, especially in regards to number of jumps. I also appreciate the full integration with the health app

The best app out there. This is the best app with beautiful and simple design and functionality. Jump rope counter has a minor variance counting slightly higher than actual jumps but this is within acceptable limits. It is cost effective and works compared to those charging a huge subscription with a poor workout library and poor counter.

The “Counter” Does Not Work. No clue what most of these other reviews are seeing. Unless you are doing one jump per second, which is incredibly slow, the counter is wildly inaccurate. I held off my frustrated review on day one and decided to give it a chance. I’ve used this just about every day for the first week and the problem is the same. For every 30 seconds of jumping, I counted ~60-80 jumps. The app says only 30-40...EVERY TIME. Consistent, but useless and not worth it, even if it was free. $3 for this is absolutely ridiculous. How do I get refunded for this trash? I expect that the answer will be that I can’t.

User since it first came out. I have been jumping rope for years and boxed for a bit. I bought this app when it came out years ago. It was the first of its kind to track and available on the Apple Watch. Years later it keeps getting refined and I love how it relays data with Activity and Heart apps in the iPhone. Great job. Worth it.

Nope. I wanted to see if the counter worked. It doesn’t. I like to speed jump, and when I get 4 rotations in a second which isnt even the fastest it only counts 1. Maybe if you’re jumping slow enough it will be good. I can see it being good for just a nice slow jump or possibly a workout but don’t count on it counting properly. On the other side I do like that it has the HIIT timer on it now, but that is honestly the only good thing about the app for me. This is not saying it works for other people. Just does not work for me. I record to check for form and to count, and like I said it isn’t even close. Also like I said completely different type of jumping probably than what it’s meant for.

Decent app for the money. Works fine for the most part, though the skip count is off by a little. That’s not a big deal imo. I’d like some analytics around actual jump time, rather than total session time. Max JPM, average JPM by jump time would be helpful.

Beats any other jumprope app by far. I tried a few other highly rated rep counter apps and jump rope apps and they were extremely inaccurate, or just didn’t provide much of the information I wanted. I held back initially on getting this YaoYao app simply because it wasn’t free, but finally took a risk and got it. Immediately I noticed when I started my jump rope workout that the counts were very close to the actual jumps, and I LOVED how I could get loud verbal announcements for every 50 jumps or heart rate - with many options I could set. Finally, I could jump without thinking about counting, or using some method of keeping track physically. Then I was thrilled after a few more jumprope workouts to discover so many other useful, thoughtful and professional features, this is on the level of the type of features the Apple Activity App in quality and range of measured, counted and integrated metrics. The graphs and the badges you can earn, it all adds so much more to the jump rope workout, I love it!!

Almost accurate :). I was looking for a jump rope counter and this was the only one i could find utilizing Apple watch. I jumped 100 times and the counter on my watch showed 98. I’m quite happy about 98% accuracy. Well done!

Exactly What I Was Looking For. Accurate jump counter based solely on Apple Watch. App integrates into My Health and Activity App seamlessly. Great product.

If you love to jump ❤️ look no more. Recently downloaded this app and used it for the first time, I synced it with my series 3 Cellular Apple Watch... No disappointments at all, totally worth the money!!! It really keeps track of the work out this is the first time I can actually track my jump rope routine. If you’re in doubt, download this you won’t be disappointed. Lastly they list the numbers you really want to see like longest streak, heart rate, total jumps and how long you jumped for 😍😍 I love this app!

Nice. Finally found a jump rope count app that is accurate. It’s fun, it has me trying harder. I like the leader board. My goal is to place in top 100.

Amazing App. Thank you for this amazing app , it encourages me keep going and exercise every day.❤️

Not really accurate. I still find myself counting my own jumps and this is kind of off. I also don’t like that there’s no calories shown throughout my jumps.. I wouldn’t recommend. If u jump really slow and make wide arm circles it’ll count them but I’m a medium pace jumper and it doesn’t count my jumps unless I’m really engaging my arms.

Great App!!. I’ve been speed roping for 2 years now and have always used a different HIIT app on my watch to do my intervals. I’ve always wanted to know the number of jumps but never thought to look for an app that counted them! I was skeptical at first based on others reviews of counting too many or not enough but wanted to try it since it was so inexpensive. I used it yesterday and counted as I jumped and it was only off by 2... and that was me trying my hardest to count my jumps since I speed Rope I had a hard time counting as fast as I jumped. I feel it’s extremely accurate... it’s basically like a pedometer... they are never exact, but give you a great estimate and that’s all I’m looking for. I love that it gives you the count every 100 jumps and heart rate, I was able to push myself harder and in one interval session went from a little over 700 jumps to almost 900. Overall I love it and definitely recommend it!!!!

Highly recommend!!. Yaoyao is the best rope jumping app I have ever tried. It can record your jump counts accurately, and shows the max speed, max combo jump counts,etc. Moreover it can speak out the heart rates every 100 jumps. This app is desired the price!!! hope jumpers will enjoy this app.

So worth the buy. This app is amazing! It connects to workouts via the apple watch. So i can just set my HITT settings and start jumping. A must have if you want to track your jump rope workouts in detail!

Why did it take so long to make this?. This app is exactly what I wanted for a jump rope app. It’s not complex, but it doesn’t need to be. It uses the accelerometer in the Apple watch to count your jumps. It also has timer mode and freestyle. I’m not an app designer, because I don’t know enough about programming; however, I’m a little surprised someone didn’t come up with this sooner. I think it costs something, but if you incorporate a rope into your workouts very often, it’s with it.

Misses a lot of counts. It’s close but I have seen it miss a lot of counts as well. I will keep going until I reach the count on the app anyways because it doesn’t hurt to keep going. Frustrating though when I want to be done and this is not catching my counts.

Great app. Great app and easy to use. I would love it if it had more rewards in small increments. Like every 10k or so. I find it more motivating when I achieve a sticker more often. I know it sounds dumb but it’s fun for me. Still love.

Worth every penny. I just started jumping rope this month and I was getting a little bored because I wasn’t sure how much I was actually jumping. I bought this app and it was totally worth it. I have a set timed work out but I love setting a jump goal so if I don’t meet them I can compensate. The best is when I finish my workout and I go over my goal! It’s just nice seeing your workout stats. It’s really encouraging.

It counts twice as much. It counts my jumps twice as much even after I turn down the sensitivity all the way to the end. That’s not even the most annoying part. It stops randomly all the time saying my AirPods are connected to another device when my phone is the only thing my AirPods are connected to. I want my money back. I know it’s not 4 dollars but it ruined my exercise mood.

Wasn’t accurate for me.. I was excited to use this app due to the great reviews and recommendations from Reddit. Unfortunately it wasn’t accurate for me. I set it to track 100 jumps and it said my workout was complete when I had only done 60. This must be why Apple chose not to track this activity. It can’t be done accurately.

It just works. This is so simple and usable. Start it on my watch and just go. Can do total jump goal or time goal. I find the counter to be right on par and it’s cool to see the charts showing speed and heart rate.

Great way to track your jumping progress. I like this app a lot! It’s great to track my jump roping progress and I’m able to just zone out and jump the way that I like to. If jump roping is your way to replace running, this app is superb!

So cool!!!. There’s so many workout tracker apps but hardly anything for jump rope... if you are into jumping rope, this app is rad! Not only does it track your workouts but it’s also integrated with the apple fitness app.

Stopped Working! Help!!. I love this app and use it most days. However, it recently stopped displaying my jump progress on the iPhone screen. That is a very helpful feature and it’s no longer working. Can you help?

Game changer!. I adore this app. Barriers on my jump rope journey were counting jumps and time jumped excluding rests. This app removed those and delivered so much more! I’ve been quite the evangelist for the app and have engaged my IG community as inquiries come to me about the app I use for tracking. One addition I’d love to see is tracking of the interval times. Perhaps an axis on the right of the bar graph that charts jump count intervals? For now, I estimate based on my average jump count per min how long I’ve jumped between rests. Anyway, all of this to say, bravo! This app has changed the game and my workout life (which was non-existent before...ha!)!

Great idea if it worked.. The idea is simple enough but it doesn’t function well. The watch app won’t sync with the phone. If you try to use it with the workout app it won’t count jumps. The whole program needs work. I contacted support about it and they didn’t even address the issue I emailed about. I hope they get it working because it is a good idea.

3+ Years Jumping with YAOYAO Every Day!!. Been averaging 6.5 days a week jumping rope since May 2009. YAOYAO has been an incredible enhancement to my work out ethic. I’m a fan for life!!

Not accurate. Records around 20 jumps per hundred counts Update to developer response Watch rebooted before I posted this review So the issue is that the app records 20 jumps when I have actually skipped 100 jumps Records only 20% of actual jumps PS Double jump is NOT enabled

Should really put a work into reps counting. The app's counting zero while I’m jumping up and down and sweating. It’s a perfect app if this minus (but desperate) bug’s been fixed, but it’s not, at the moment.

So worth it.. As a beginner, doing a 1000 jumps a day challenge seems like daunting task. Not only does it count your jumps accurately but it shows how consistent you’ve been and your improvement via it’s cool dotted chart. Also, unlike the free ones I’ve tried this easily shows up on your Apple Watch (my ones really old btw) and counts your jumps not how many times you’ve moved your arm.

Keeps you motivated and skipping all year round!. I have used YaoYao for a couple of years now and absolutely love this app. From the accurate counting, HIIT training and data, it has it all. And I accidentally came across the app one day and have not looked back. If you are looking for a way to keep up your skipping and cardio, this is a great way to do it. :) Thanks to the developers for putting this together.

Simple & Functional. Just the fact that all you need is your Apple Watch makes a huge difference, it gets me really motivated to see the skipping count right on my wrist and the the integration with Activity workouts is awesome. Thank you!

Such a game changer!. It has changed my jumping rope game for the better especially the counter on the watch version! The iPhone version has history of jump rope details. I use the data to analyse my skipping performance and intensity. It has helped improving my workout everyday! Love love love it! Highly recommend!

Great little app. I love skipping and this app is great to track progress. I just use my watch with it and when I’m done I can see all my results on my phone. Well done developers.

Good app. I like the app and it works well, just have an issue with the HR and calories not reading or recording. Contacted developers who responded quickly but issue remains.

why claim me surcharge！. 我根本不知道这货还要多付4.49刀，在我们没有注册只是下载而已！过分！千万！

Poor counting. Great app on both watch and phone but it misses a lot of skips. It recorded 56 and 165 in a minute when both were at the same intensity and speed. Highly inaccurate counting.

Confusing!. The design is great! But how do you start the count?

ONLY works with Apple Watch?. I assumed that this would work as a counter without the watch, using same tech as the “exercise sound counter” and Crossrope premium app do. But it seems you have to have an Apple Watch? I just threw my money away buying this. 🙁

Worth the $4. I don’t normally purchase apps, but I jump rope on a daily basis for fitness. Decided to give this a shot because of the stellar reviews. Best purchase that I’ve made in the App Store. If you’re serious about jump rope and tracking your hops, this is the one for you.

I love this app!!. It does what it says very accurately! Thanks for making this app!!

Great App. Stopped jump roping 2 years ago when covid hit. Just starting again. This app has out done itself since I purchased it many years ago. So many new features. Keep up the great work. Worth the money.

Jump count is way off…. Just doesn’t work for me, even with my watch strap ultra-tight.

Excellent. Fantastic app, it is worth every cent!

Awesome app. I love this app. Great motivator. Keeps track of my best. Accurate counts using my iPods. I really love that I can use whatever ropes I want and I’m not tied to one brand. No monthly fees for stuff that I don’t use. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Super app for old men like me. Cool app, but it crashes every time when I pause the workout for a break. Not super accurate but it’s much better than the default apple Workout app.

Awesome!. This is a great app for skipping . The developer has done a great job . Thank you

App not like I thought. The app doesn’t Cout reps your doing with voice like I thought it could!

Way off in counting. I counted 100 jumps as I did them and looked at my watch and it said I only did 28!! Not very good!!

Awesome app. This app is awesome if you love skipping. The developer seems very passionate about it as from the update logs they are continually updating it and making it better. Wish more developers could be this great! Keep up the great work!

Great app. Really awesome app and worth every penny. One thing though, I think the calorie calculation is flawed. If I do 1000 jumps in under 11 minutes the app says I burned 140kcal, even though I am catching breath and sweating like I just had a shower. But if I do 1000 in 16 minutes, which is a slow and relaxed pace even for me, the app says I burned whooping 200kcal.

No accurate data. The calories data is not accurate, on the same steps it sometimes gets u 1000 or more calories burned sometimes only indicates 200 - 300. I have already emailed the developer, but it seems they do not take it seriously for not replying me back

not easy to use. hard to use, barely work, a waste of money , dont know if I can get my money back

不错，可以在手表上使用. 支持～ 有一个小问题，用手表听着歌再打开摇摇来跳绳，音乐音量会变得很小，直到跳到100次摇摇报数后音量才恢复。

Jump Counter Doesn’t Work. Tried jumping at varying speeds, counter isn’t accurate at all.

Does not count jumps. Hello, This app appears to be connected my Apple Watch. However, when I am jumping rope, it does not count the number of times I am jumping. Please help in English. Thank you Need help

yaoyao和dundun是我用过最好最高效的运动神器. 没有时间去健身房，在哪都能练，Apple Watch不想白买？那就跳起来蹲下去！

very bad. it counts my jumps as steps and completely throws off my calories burned per day. it also says i burnt 500 calories in 15 minutes which is impossible because i wasn’t even going hard. i want my money back this is absurd.

Great APP. I have tried many jump rope a APPs. This is by far the best.

Not counting jumps properly. Every other time miscounting jumps. Has not done this in the past

Skip Pro. Lovely app for rope jumpers.

not accurate at all. I did 100 and only count 20

As good as Crossrope. Spotify issue has been fixed. Thank you! This app is as good as Crossrope for counting jumps and keeping track of personal bests, etc. Plus, some cool options to challenge other people. Tracks using airpods, which is nice. Always being updated. If you like jumping rope, you'll love this for tracking your workouts.

Room for improvement. I tried a few times this app but none of the the count is correct. I tried different levels of sensitivity and even in the lower level it counts more than 1

Amazing. So energetic It's a challenge

Very cool. Makes me keep coming back for more.

Very good!!. Thank you so much. I’ve lost 5kg in a month with this app.

Best jump rope app. Perfect counts

Great accurate!. I love this app so glad I found it 🙏

Love this App!. Thoughtfully designed, and beautifully implemented. Makes me want to grab my rope and exercise!

Edit: Spotify issue fixed. Thanks developers!. AirPods counter is a game changer in the space. New count sensitivity seems more accurate on my end (using AirPods).

YAO YAO. Great App , if you jump rope . Pretty accurate, but easy to use .

inaccurate. inaccurate do not count jump right

语音提示问题. 能不能在语音提示时提示心率，速度？还有可以设置跳几下语音提示一次，跳完后直接显示结果。可以参考一下NRC+ 跑步软件！谢谢

support mi band. What about Redmi watch? Thanks for replying, appreciate that! Thanks for making this wonderful app! Can you maybe consider support other devices like Mi band? I am not planning to but an Apple watch in any time soon but I still do not want to miss the chance of recording my workouts. 谢谢你制作的这款应用！我想问一下是不是可以考虑支持小米手环之类的其他设备呢？我近两年可能都不会买苹果手表，不想这两年都用不了摇摇啊！ 谢谢！

So far it’s great.. Simple app that does what it says it will do and does it well.

Refund. Count it not on track, every 1 jump it goes up 2 or 3! Refund please!

V站上看到就买了，然鹅. 缺点是没必要读取这么多iOS健康数据，比如体重生日等。写入权限都给了，不授予读取权限就不停显示读取失败提醒，我觉得不行

Best jump rope!. Really, the only jump rope out that works!

Doesn’t work.. Counter doesn’t work. It’s off by more than double, both when counting with the watch and AirPods Pro. Waste.

No data recording. App won’t record any workout data and the heart rate monitor never works

Has issues. Seems like even after ending workout the app continues to use the heart rate sensor in the watch, skewing your calories count, even though you’re not necessarily exercising.

Won’t download on watch. Can’t see this app on my watch even after multiple restarts! Waste of money.

Very random counting. Nice setting but useless to count number of jumps, do not waste your money

tried several times. the count is completely inaccurate, whether single or double jumping. wish I could get my money back.

Inaccurate count on watch. It will only detect a very small portion of my jumps. It does not read jumps unless you jump hard and have lots of arm movements. Not satisfied and what a waste of money.

Getting better. Good app, great potencial... just needs to have the jump count per work out and on the phone app been able to see workouts and jump count per workout. Keep it up!!!

Misses a lot of jumps. Fails to count a lot of jumps using Apple Watch.

升级后AirPods pro ios15不能使用了. 如题

Do not waste your money!. This app completely failed. It crashed daily during use, it never logged my data & after two calibrations it was super incorrect. I want a refund!

Inaccurate predictions. I have kept sensitivity at lowest yet it almost predicts almost twice my rope jumps . Please look into it . Using series 7 .

Highly Inaccurate. This app is HIGHLY INACCURATE!! It’s counting 1 jump to my 10! I tried 4/5 different times and each time the counts are way off. Not worth the $2.99.
