## What is Get.Moving?

Get Moving is the fitness app for the rest of us. It’s not about getting fit and timing how fast you are. It’s simply about getting off your chair and walking around. 

Medical evidence seems to imply that sitting still for hours at a time is really bad for your health. Get Moving will let you know if you’ve been sitting still for more than an hour. 

If you get up and walk around for a few minutes the notification will go away, and the app will start counting again. And you should feel much better about yourself.

Of course you can set it to turn off at night so it won’t keep you awake. But during the day we really recommend responding every time it reminds you to move around. You can leave the app running in the background and it will remind you whenever it’s time to get moving. It will also update its badge every minute to show you how long it is since you moved around.

In the foreground you can also see a chart of your activity for the last couple of hours or for the last couple of days. 

Get the app. Get moving.

### 1/5 — Get Moving

*2026-02-02*

Worked at first but after Apple reset all is lost; nothing shows. I see no pathway to fix the problem

### 4/5 — Great now

*2020-10-31*

V2 of this app meets my needs very well.  I previously reported it not working in iOS 10 & 11, and I'm pleased to report that version 2 of the app has been working great for me in iOS 13 and 14.

Best of all, it uses very little power compared to other GPS-using apps I've tried.  I've not seen any other inactivity-alert app for iPhone that works this well.

**Developer response:** pretty sure it works, please try again and please contact us directly if it doesn't so we can work out why it doesn't work for you.

### 1/5 — Not very useful without notifications

*2016-03-05*

This app is supposed to remind you when you haven't been active. There are no notifications so this can't happen. Also very limited settings so you can't customise how frequently you want reminders even if they worked. Useless unless improved or fixed.

**Developer response:** pretty sure it works... please try again.

### 2.5 — 2025-02-06

Turns out we had a bug, (kinda). 
If you set the app to notify you, but not before 10am and not after 1am. It thought you meant the same day and never notified you.
Now it realises the 1am is tomorrow morning and gets it all right. 

Thanks to the user who helped us work out what the issue was. Appreciated.
