## What is Ergonomics?

Ergonomics is a complete workplace health solution that offers equipment setup advice and a variety of workplace specific stretching exercises.

Awards: Department of Labor App Challenge Winner!

Several recent studies have shown that sitting for extended periods of time is detrimental to your health and wellness and can shorten life expectancy. Researchers, wellness experts, and journalists are all coming to the same conclusion: it is extremely beneficial to take short stretch breaks during your work day. 

Large corporations frequently use desktop software to encourage employees to take workplace breaks because of the strong positive correlation between health and productivity – and now, Ergonomics brings all of the benefits of workplace wellness to you. 

WE’RE BRINGING STRETCHING BACK… 

Ergonomics is a simple application with two goals: improving your workplace health and productivity by encouraging stretch breaks, and ensuring that all of your workplace equipment is set up ergonomically for the times that you are sitting. 

THERE'S A STRETCH FOR THAT.

### 3/5 — Great potential but not there yet

*2020-11-24, version 5.0.2*

My main problem while using this app is that it forces me to keep tapping the screen to prevent my phone from putting it to sleep. Other apps don’t do this.

### 1/5 — Missing Features

*2020-08-19, version 5.0.2*

I am not seeing any alarm function on this app. Just stretch routines and workspace suggestions.

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2016-09-10*

Well designed

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2015-06-30, version 4.0*

I tried a few free apps before I tried this one..and it is the best.  The reminders are great and the exercises work well.  I would recommend.

### 4/5 — Really good!

*2015-04-23, version 4.0*

Really like this. Two things I would like to see in order to get 5 stars:
1. More info on what the stretch is
2. An option to add more than 4 reminders.

### 4/5 — Good; a couple tweaks, please

*2014-12-05, version 4.0*

I love this app.  I use it on my iPad 2 at work to prevent feeling tired, cramped, and sore at the end of the day in front of a computer.

However, the following tweaks would move it to 5 stars in my view:
1. Add speech prompt when switching to a new stretch, not just when switching sides.
2. The green circle around the start button is very off center (is NOT around the start button) on my iPad 2.
3. Make the information about how to view the stretch visible, or, when the (i) icon is tapped and showing the info, update the info when the stretch changes.

### 5/5 — 👍👍👍

*2014-11-16, version 4.0*

the update made this app even better and easier to use.

### 5/5 — Posture Improving

*2014-11-16, version 4.0*

Helpful app. Lots of good tips and timely reminders when I forget to get up and move around and do stretches.
And it's nice that the app doesn't nag for you to review like so many other apps.

### 3/5 — Needs more development

*2014-07-29, version 3.0.2*

The concept for this app is good, but this app still needs development. I like the examples of stretches, but the graphics and explanations could be better.  I like that you can set the times, but I also want to set the days (I don't need to be reminded on weekends when I am already active). Needs ability to add own activities and points. Need a way to manage or edit activities.

### 1/5 — Requires password, not enough alarms

*2014-04-17, version 3.0.2*

I'm disappointed that the app required me to create an account just to use it.

I really need an intelligently designed app to remind me to do my Bruegger's Relief Position stretch for 30 secs every 20 minutes while I'm at work.  I need to be able to tell it my schedule, it needs to be responsive when the screen is locked (like a cloud player app), it needs to interrupt audio through the headphones, etc.  This app is not it.

I used to use Workrave for the PC, but I don't want to install it on my work computer at my new job.
