Wakeout is the Best!
I’ve had this app for a long time now and I thought I had written a glowing review before, but here goes again: Wakeout is the best, most versatile workout app you can get! I love it so much! I especially love some of the seated wakeouts because my boyfriend is in a wheelchair and we can wakeout together!!! The only final suggestion I can make for Wakeout is I wish there was a “dictionary” of every wakeout and you could build your own!!!! That way, I could make a full wakeout for us to do together and not have to skip around! I’m sure there are lots of people out there who would use it! Thanks to the devs for all of your hard work and improvements and thanks for making the app more inclusive and accessible to everyone!!!

Scam- alicious
Apple App Store recommended this app and I thought it was a great idea & sounded like a fun way to get me moving throughout the day. It doesn’t say it costs money when you download and low and behold it gives you a 7 day trial but only when you agree to sign up to pay $35 for the year or $5 a month! Very sneaky, as that is what is called DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING. In addition to that, the only option to sign up is using your Apple ID which I don’t want to do. So didn’t even get to try out and I should’ve read the reviews first like I normally do. I also read that the creators said to just launch your app idea ASAP and then as you move forward fix and tweak it- I don’t that’s working out for them and that is in no way how you run a business nor is it a business model to follow in any sense. Good luck and be honest with what you advertise Wakeout.

Beware subscription based
SUBSCRIPTION BASED APP! Asked for your info then wants you to buy a subscription. I was a sucker for giving my info! Not cool!
Thoughts
I love the fact that these workout go within your daily routine . Having 2 kids is an exercise within itself and between my Apple Watch and this app I feel like I have no choice but to be active. It’s something I look forward too . Gained a few pounds and lounging on the couch ? this app is like cool grab a few pillow and exercise . Some things need to be upgraded , great idea but the developer not so much . Honestly if you put more exercises directed towards moms , I think this app could do wonders. There are so many at home moms who don’t have time to exercise but those few seconds they do they want THIS !

free?
free to download maybe, but you can’t use it without subscribing. misleading
Really Helpful
I was dubious about this app when I first stumbled upon it. However, I went ahead and pulled the trigger purchasing a years subscription. In all honesty I must say it has become one of the greatest decisions I’ve made pertaining to apps. Wakeout has become a cheerleader in the sense of reminding me to keep my focus on wanting to become more active. It’s very reminiscent of having your best friend by your side. That friend everyone has that you love and support and in turn they do the same yet you both bring out the competitive side in each other so you end up doing the things you wouldn’t have done alone. To the creators of Wakeout I send a huge THANK YOU. In this new age of Covid-19 and social distancing it’s no longer an option to have that BFF I spoke of by your side like the old days. So at least for me and at least for the foreseeable future I’ll let Wakeout fill that friend role and be thankful for having the option to do so.

Great content, frustrating app
The exercises are great and the *concept* of this app is exactly what I was looking for. But....
The music is awful and not as functional as it could be to solve other problems.
The silent/vibrate notification to move on to a new exercise is not as useful. I only noticed during the one exercise I *wasn’t* doing and had my phone in my hand.
The UI is not very intuitive for something that is meant to be quick.
It’s not very clear what the difference is between the options at the bottom. And further, it’s not clear what each routine entails before it starts. The wind down page could learn from the workday page. routines are different each time, based on what? No written instructions for breathing exercises where it’s not very visible what’s happening In the video.
This is such a brilliant idea executed in a way that doesn’t actually seem to have the user in mind and is hard to look at. I could probably hack my way through using it over time but i can also set a calendar reminder for free and just do whatever movement comes to mind.

Not free
I keep seeing things from Apple trying to push this app and I thought it looked great! I was excited because I am just starting my first semester of online school and sitting around all day is killing me. I downloaded the app and of course as soon as it makes you login with your Apple ID it makes you choose a subscription plan. I wanted a free app and expected it to be free. Being a college student I can’t afford another subscription just to have my phone tell me to do some leg lifts at my desk. Heck I can’t even afford Disney+ so why would I pay for this? If you’re gonna have an app for free on the App Store you should at least have a lite version where you can have basic features without paying $5 a month. I really wish I could use this app and would love to try it and give a good review but it’s just not the kind of thing worth spending my money on.

Great app that works
I'm not the most active person these days and working from home makes it even harder to exercise. This app really works. It nudges me to get up and move around way more than I would normally. I love it! Well done to everyone involved, you've created a wonderful app that's well worth the money
Response from developer
😍 Thank you so much for your kind words. Inspiring people to move a little more is what we live for. More great content and features to come!
Love the concept, could be better
I started full-time teleworking in March and the amount of movement significantly dropped. I discovered this app in December and love the concept. The exercises are short and easy. I really feel like it makes a difference but why do I have to turn this on every day? Can’t there be a way to set this so that I can defineThe start and end of my workday? Are usually don’t remember this until it’s almost lunchtime and I go who wait where was my mid morning remind her to do some short exercises. This will be ever so much more useful if it were just automatically come on every workday for me. Yeah it sounds lazy but the point of the app is to remind me to stretch and move, so obviously i need reminders. 😁
