Pocket Salsa for Android
Great tool for those taking classes or that stopped dancing a while ago and want to get back into it again. However the app has some glitches that unless I completely close the app and open it again, it tells me that the video cannot be played. Perhaps a favorite tag would also be a good addition to the app to bookmark your favourite moves... those that you need to keep working on.
Very well organised videos. Note that on the rhythms there is a small pause between repeats, which makes them not very useful. Also, videos should be stored in the SD card, and not in the internal phone memory.
The video content is great. I tend to feel that for a paid App the problem with the Rhythm section really ought to have been sorted (it would seem to be either a problem with the player or the samples which means that there's a hiatus in play which sends the timing out)
I like the videos very easy to follow. But it freezes up on me after videos. Please fix this! I'll give it more stars. Samsung Galaxy Tab A
I have been watching Anthony for years on YouTube, and I'm glad I down loaded this pocket app, it breaks the steps nicely so you can progress faster and smooth. YouTube is good help but again, this app kicks some a$$! Really recommend it. Thanks!
Nice for people learning at home. I'm a salsa instructor and for me it actually needs more complicated turns. I know they'll come with next update.
Content is good so far the video player often crashes. In the beginning it crashed all the time but now it usually works ok.
A found no flaws with this salsa course. I dunno how it could be improved. It's perfect! And the girls in the videos are super hot. :-O
Very practical and gives detailed guidance for leading and hand holding I'd been trying to get. I like the structuring of the classes and how it appeals to all levels.
I like most of the features. The music features needs to be updated so there isn't a pause. You can tell the tracks are very short and are just playing over and over. That makes the timing get off
If fixed 5 stars... For now the gaps make this useless for practice!
Easy to follow, tons of content, and so simple even a white boy like me can do it! I almost feel guilty that I only paid $2.99 for this app!
Some of the instrument loops have a brief pause in between loops. Not ideal for dance practise! Update: there is a bug when a few videos finish that causes a pop up saying "cannot load video". You can't then click OK, and need to close the app down and restart.
Just bought the app and have only watched a few videos. I like his stuff on YouTube so I am confident I will like this app. Only problem will be my phone is a battery hog.
Excellent breakdown of salsa moves and combos at each level. A vital resource to new salsa dancers as the moves are so fast in real time and hard to find the names. Great blend of LA style footwork with cuban moves.
Stick with freebie or Youtube unless you love doing a hard shutdown and restart all the time. This is horrible.
I have danced salsa for15 years and still found this a great app. The only downside is that it takes a very long time to download the individual moves.
I love this app unfortunately it won't let me download the steps stating that I don't have enough space on my sd card when I've got heaps. Please fix so I can give 5 stars
Each class is thought-out and detailed for the beginner dancer. You can easily pick up the movements even if you've never danced a day in your life. Highly recommended!
Im a social dancer in tricities, Washington. I find this app very useful and like the name says "Pocket Salsa", having it on my cell phone allows me to view the moves and styling whenever and wherever I am. It's easy to navigate the menu.
Love the fact there's moves broken down in to simple steps, at all levels, always glad to see new moves n videos added to this app
The lessons seem great, however, when selecting any video, it keeps freezing midway through.
Why is this app constantly checking identification Function: serial. If I haven't started the app it shouldn't be doing ANYTHING.
Only wished it had a slow motion option to help show down the video so I can see the moves better.
This will improve your salsa game and it's way cheaper than any DVD. Get proficient with this material then take private lessons for refinement and polish.
Great step by step videos at different angles in a modular fashion. Love the rhythms to practice. Always fresh with new video content. Love Every bit of this app. Would love to see a similar app for bachata
Great content... Somewhat glitchy video loader
* You should separate On1 and On2 videos. (For example, I couldn't find Combo Set 4 On1 but On2 was available) *Rhythms have breaks when they play repeatedly. *All downloaded videos have a star icon instead of 'downloaded icon'. I want to use star icon for my favourite videos ;) *When I use my device rotated (horizonal), I can't see all videos. A scroll problem occurs, probably related to the page height.
My wife is Peruvian and I was very shy about dancing and I bought this app and it helped me sharpen my dancing skills and front of her family, when it came to being on the dance floor, I didn't look stupid on the floor, people thought I was a expert lol seriously.
Love the app, extremely helpful, every pattern is explained to detail and in a comprehensive way. If you feel it's not a good app maybe you're not putting the time and the effort.
Thorough tutorial, step by step explanation very well done. Please put up some STYLING videos too.
Can't complain so far. Does everything I ask for.
Great work a lot of dedication. I will do my best to add value to this community
I like it, but it could use some updates.
I started dancing the New York on the One years ago. Although, I stopped taking lessons sometime ago, it's good to brush up on my techniques, using this handy learning-aid.
I had it for iphone. But now I have android so I bought it again because this app is great.
I find this app is very intuitive to use and the content is expertly produced. I find it very handy to use as a reference tool to refresh my skills and to learn something new or add a different variation on a move or style. The instructors are clear and teach both main forms of linear Salsa, showing these moves can be done regardless on which timing you are dancing.
This app has all the resources any salsa lover could wish for! The rhythms are of very high quality, all steps are very clearly explained and overall it's a great app either for learning new steps yourself or teaching someone really quick new things you can try doing.
Amazing tutoring...simple yet profound! Thumbs up guys!

Great tool for learning salsa. But crashes my Galaxy s5 tablet at end of every video! Super frustrating. App description says can pick other video player if having issues. Cannot find that issue. Please fix this issue as makes it near impossible to use.
