Get it, brilliant
Great little app, perfect for reminding me to take little breaks and un-hunch myself. Having to say you stood up makes a real difference to whether you do it! I upgraded to get different sounds, and they have some fun alarm alternatives there. The developers are friendly and responded to my query about tracking (it currently shows you how often you responded in the day, they are working on being able to scroll back over the week). Get it, no-brainer.

Great little app that just works
This app has a simple but effective interface and is really easy to setup.
Install it and you will definitely be moving more and that has got to be good for you.

Good PA reminder!!
This app is the best of the physical activity (PA) or movement apps I have tested. Many other require turning on notifications for the day, and this one goes off every day, on time. I also really love the message (Stand up, we want you to live longer!) <-- that's pretty funny, and also sort of a guilt-trip.
The one thing I think could be improved: the notifications may stack up if I don't look at my phone for a while. Maybe the app should require a more immediate response to turn off the notification (like an alarm would need).

Good App if You Have Your Phone in Front of You Often
Reasons why this app is good:
1. Of all the other break timers, this one really is the best available in the Apple App Store. I've downloaded a number of them with the exception of those that had bad popup reviews, and this one is the best.
2. You can setup the Start and Stop time, set the interval time and days of the week, and it shows you at the top of the screen how many of the goal breaks you were able to hit.
3. They seem very customer focused with a button to directly email them with feedback.
Reasons why this app is bad:
1. The black background is hard to see in the sunlight.
2. The alert volume is very low. I have it on the highest setting and still miss my alerts.
3. The alarm will only go off once. If I miss it (refer to number 2 above) I'm SOL. It doesn't keep beeping until you've acknowledged the reminder either. So I've often missed two to three timers in a row and never noticed.
4. You have to pay extra for the other sounds. I would rather pay more upfront then get hit with surprise costs. Makes me feel like they tried getting one over me.
This app would get five stars if:
1. The reminder didn't go away until i picked up my phone and acknowledged it and if it were a little darn louder! Everything else would be a nice change (background color, one price for the app and sounds) but not necessary for 5 stars.

I love this app - it gets me on my feet!
Great app. Gets me on my feet so I don't sit at my desk all day. I've enable it to only remind me when I'm in my office and it does that flawlessly.
I customized the message to say "Stand. Hydrate." That reminds me not just to stand up, but to drink water.
I like that I get a notification on my Apple Watch. I'd would like to be able to respond on my watch ( to confirm that I'm standing) instead of having to respond on my phone. I emailed that developers about that and they responded very quickly and graciously that an Apple Watch app is on their wish list for enhancements.

Wonderfully Effective App
This app is simple to configure, and very easy to understand and use. It reminds me to get a bit of exercise at intervals I choose. I like that it doesn’t have a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles. I don’t want an app that creates privacy issues by accessing my health data, and this one doesn’t.
I really appreciate the privacy policy for this app. It actually says what they do and don’t collect. Kudos to the developers for this!

Really use app. I use daily.
Initially I downloaded this app for the purpose of a research study I was participating in. I was asked to stand up during my work day every 30 minutes while wearing a Fitbit. I searched through the App Store and discovered this app. It works consistently and I have location services enabled so that I am only alerted when I am in my work building! Super useful app and even told the study administrators about this app and they appeared excited to know of it. Highly recommended.

Quite a few problems
First I'll just say that I've sent a support email to the link on the company's website, it's been months and I've had no reply.
The problems I have is that I disabld all reminders to go on holiday. A week later I'm still getting reminders every 30 minutes.
The "while at location" function doesn't work either - I get reminders no matter where I'm at.
It's unfortunate that this otherwise great app is let down by a lack of support and won't turn off when you want it off.

A great reminder
Recommended by my physical therapist. Better than setting task reminders throughout the day. Very much like that I can set the reminder timeline and day as well as frequency.
One complaint is that if my iphone does not have the app displayed, I will not 'get' or hear the reminders. Not even it the app is open and in the background. Haven't found how to fix this yet and hope this may be something for a future upgrade.

Stand Up!
This is a great app for reminding me to get up and walk around for a few minutes each hour. I particularly like way I can be alerted on my iPhone to stand up or I can be alerted on my Apple Watch to stand up. If I am using my iPhone, I will be alerted to stand up. If my iPhone is not available or not near me, then I will get an alert to stand up on my Apple Watch. The alert appears on the iPhone or the Apple Watch. It will not appear on the iPhone and the Apple Watch at the same time.
