  • Horrible User Experience (UX)

    I only use this app to adjust the height of the desk. Why can’t there be a configuration to have the start screen be the control page? It doesn’t make sense to default to the “You” screen only to have to click over to the “Control” screen every time I need to adjust the desk. Your telemetry should easily be able to show that’s what most people are doing. Nobody is using this app for the challenges. Please update to allow just the use of the controls.

  • Works Well...

    I like the app, works as you would think. It would be nice if I could leverage the power of Siri Shortcuts and simply ask “Hey Siri...set my desk to standing/sitting”. Should be simple enough to do.

  • App doesn’t remember the exact minutes standing for the challenge

    It records less minutes.

    Also instead of holding the buttons... could the desk just jump to the saved height in just one touch?

    Developer Response

    Hi, thank you for your feedback. As long as the app is connected to your desk, it registers the desk height even though you are not at your desk. This means that the statistical data is not always exact. If your desk supports automatic drive to favourite positions, you can enable the feature in the 'More' menu. Best regards, LINAK A/S
  • Favourite positions needs some work

    Not a bad app overall. Would be great if we could double tap a specific favourite position and the desk would go all the way down/up to that position afterwards. Currently, we have to keep holding down the favourite position button until it gets to that position, which kind of defeats the purpose.

  • Unusable

    1. After exiting the App (which eventually happens on any iOS device) it's somehow losing pairing so I have to press the button on the table for a few seconds to let them pair again.
    2. No support for auto drive (move to favorite position) for IKEA Idasen desk. So no one-touch function. The developer reply is that the controller device lacks this feature. But we all know it's barely an excuse as they COULD program a automatic move feature right in the app—basically holding the button for me. The same way I will do this by holding the button manually.

    Both issues are super frustrating to the point that I've started working on my own app using the Bluetooth LTE and learning the API. And it works well. Even on Windows (the Linak app from Windows Store cannot pair with Idasen)...

  • Rudimentary

    It’s an ok app, but rudimentary. I’d like to see a lot more statistics. For instance, I have a treadmill desk. I’d love for the app to track sit, stand, and walk by day, and produce graphs. Basically all of the information the iMovr treadmill control unit tracks, but by day, week , month etc. Also, apparently if you don’t download one day, the next day when you do download, plot doesn’t download the previous day’s data. Why not?

  • Set upper limit

    It would be nice to be able to set max upper limit. That would prevent the desk from going beyond the length of current cable setup.

  • Good App..needs Shortcuts automation.

    It will be good if there is a Siri shortcut. Like I want to say “hey Siri, raise desk favorite position 1”. Then it will raise height to 104 cms.

    Without the need to go into app.

  • Pretty good

    Seems like you have to hold down the preset button while it moves into position rather than just tapping the button once which is less convenient.

    Also would be great to integrate Siri Shortcuts so I can just say “Hey Siri, stand up!”
