Asana rebel has a average of 3 out 5 rating, which reveals some issues with the app content, some reviews mention the lack of progression or advanced sessions, and issues with payment, where users tried to cancel their subscription but got charged when they weren't expecting it.
Asana Rebel pro's is that they are focusing on yoga and wellness and did not include other type of workouts like other apps might do, but the con's is the sign up process is long, and the price is high on year 2 if you forget to cancel your subscription. Asana Rebel is limited if you are looking for a yoga app to practise yoga for free.
