Not worth for paying
Subscription is a wrong revenue model for these kind of apps
Buggy
5 min into it and full of bugs. Trying to scroll and not doing it. Selecting whatever is where I m touching the screen in an attempt to scroll. Can not go back to redo the exercise. Try again and I might subscribe as I like the idea.
So much potential, but not enough
I am looking for an app that will help me remember to move throughout the day because my job is mostly sitting in an office. This app has sooo much potential, but just not enough that I would want to spend the subscription price on it. I like the idea that you can share it with the family, but there isn’t even really a profile page. There’s not really a home page either. It just goes straight to different exercises. And then there isn’t a way to set your weekly schedule to be reminded for the workouts each day so if it’s noon on Tuesday and you’ve forgotten to set the focus time then you’ve already missed out on half the days exercises. Another thing I didn’t like was that when you do set the focus time, you’re basically stuck on that page and can’t navigate to any other page on the app unless you end your focus time. 3 stars for such a good idea and great, unique movement exercises. Just not quite enough in the app to convince me to purchase.

Fun app, but needs to show history/search!
Had an issue with the app crashing on my 12 mini, uninstalled and reinstalled the app again and now it works fine.
It would be really nice if there was a way to see the history of different Wakeouts I’ve done or be able to search for something specific. Sometimes I want to redo a previous set but I haven’t found a way to select what routine to do, other than the type of routine.
Also being able to “share” *after* doing the wakeout would be a lot more useful, my mom and I both use this app and sometimes the routine I get is clever or more energizing so I want to be able to share it - but I don’t know that until afterwards. I’ve only seen the share button before completing the wakeout.

Sneaky
So fine, the app is free... but your
Immediately asked to subscribe to a one year membership for $46 to try use your “7 day trial”, forget to deactivate it and you’ll be billed $46 ( didn’t happen, I just know how these sneaky apps work and am not falling for it)
Definitely not worth it, google some routines and you can find most stuff online.

Predatory subscription model
Predatory subscription model that hopes you forget to cancel, because nobody would pay this much for something like this.
Has Potential
I think this app had a lot of potential, but it’s not at a place where it’s worth paying a subscription for. The reminder feature and notifications don’t work as well as I would like and it would be nice to have a little more control over the kind of notifications that go to my watch vs my phone. It would also be really helpful if the notifications that went to my watch were alerts with randomized exercise a to do. Currently, the watch notification either has me open the app on my watch to search for an exercise or to open my phone app for the randomized one. It would be really nice it it were streamlined and the notification that went to my watch contained the exercise. I like finding ways to automate my life as much as possible, and this is too manual for my preferences.

Mandatory subscription? Lame
I can’t believe this is the iPhone app of the year when it doesn’t even have a free tier. You are forced to sign up at first launch to a measly 7 day trial and then you’re on the hook for 45 bucks a year. It would be so straightforward and standard practice to have a free tier but these guys just want your money straight up. Apple should be ashamed for giving this app an award.

How is this Apple's app of the year?
You can't even see if the app is worth buying without committing to a free trial that will automatically convert to a paid subscription once it's over. Here's a better model for you: make the UI and some workouts available for free. Turn your trial into something I can then choose to activate if I see the value in your product and then subscribe me if I don't cancel. You're losing a lot of potential paying customers by forcing account creation from the get-go.

How is this App of the year??
This app REQUIRES you to subscribe before being allowed to peruse the app & check out what it offers. I'm not signing up for ANYTHING without a good walk through. Terrible set up. Def not the 'App of the Year' :(
