### 4/5 — It’s got me moving!

*2026-08-02, version 4.18.1*

I already knew about the benefits of moving throughout the day but didn’t know what to do exactly. Moova is a great resource for ways to move like stretching and strengthening. I love the reminders!

### 2/5 — False info

*2026-02-07, version 4.15.3*

I was recommended this app by a cancer charity as a “free app” I thought what a fantastic idea. I downloaded it and have now been asked to pay a subscription. Is there not a free app we can try to see whether we would use it.  I can then update the charity. 

Thanks.

### 4/5 — Need VPN to connect each time I opened it.

*2026-01-04, version 4.14.1*

Unusable without vpn in some countries

### 3/5 — Good in theory

*2025-10-12*

I love this concept and if it worked, it would be amazing. Sadly the reminders/notifications will just stop working, have to be re-set up frequently and the connection to Apple Watch also doesn’t function consistently or in an expected way. I renewed my subscription this summer hoping for more improvements, but it is just too unstable. Unless major fixes happen I won’t be renewing next year.

### 4/5 — Good app but expensive

*2025-09-20, version 4.12*

Love the app. Does everything i need it to. However it's far too expensive for what it is. Its worth about 1/2 the yearly cost just to remind me to stretch every couple hours. I don't think ill be renewing

### 1/5 — Asks for money.

*2025-06-20*

Atleast keep limited features open? Why do you have to ask for money all the time?

### 1/5 — No free version

*2025-05-20, version 4.10.1*

You can only use the app if you pay. I pay for enough services. I can just set an alarm on my phone for free to remind me to move.

### 1/5 — Deceptive Sign Up (Not Free)

*2025-02-18, version 4.8.0*

I thought this would help me only to find out it wants to charge my wallet $155 yearly. Nope. You wasted my time. If the app isn’t free, it should say so in the App Store.

### 1/5 — No chance to try

*2025-02-05, version 4.7.1*

After you take the time to answer all the questions and set it up it makes you buy an annual plan to get a 7 day free trial. There’s no lite version or chance to try the app without agreeing to the annual plan and giving your payment information. Looks good and I was excited to test it out but I don’t want to agree to a plan to see how it works for me. Very disappointed.

### 4/5 — Need to change avatar

*2025-02-01, version 4.7.1*

App is good enough. Enjoy the exercises and the reminder to get up. Need to offer more avatars. Tied of watching same guy do exercises.

### 1/5 — Failing

*2025-01-01, version 4.7.1*

Purchased yearly plan & doesn’t allow // does allow me to renew subscription that doesnt expire until Sept/2025 ??

No longer useful or usable???!!!

### 1/5 — Money grabber

*2024-12-19*

Can't even try the app without subscribing, first they ask you ton of questions and how it would help you, and then pay or leave

### 4/5 — It ok

*2024-11-24, version 4.5.0*

It is a great workout but you need to pay for it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 12 dollars a month for little reminders

*2026-08-04, version 4.18.1*

This could’ve easily been a free app. I was looking for a little more convenience opposed to using my own alarms. Unfortunately there is absolutely no free version and you’re immediately milked into the free trial screen. Onto the next unfortunately

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-07-23, version 4.18.1*

Not free. Not interested. It’s a reminder app for Gods sake, put a free version and lock your premium features behind the paywall.

### 1/5 — Bad UI; no way to test

*2026-07-15, version 4.18.1*

Tricks you into thinking it’s free without being able to use it after setting it up. Dark evil ui patterns

### 1/5 — No support

*2026-07-14, version 4.18.1*

Problems working. Not what expected, including no notifications. Then, no guide or support to seek
Help from.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-03, version 4.18.1*

Worked once and now won’t open.  The support links to X hence this review

### 1/5 — could not use app

*2026-05-20, version 4.16.0*

Tried to use, would not give me the option to use without subscribing to their Plus version for a fee

### 1/5 — Won't allow login

*2026-05-06, version 4.16.0*

I was using the free trial the first time I used it it was excellent it popped up and blocked the screen and that was really good. the next day it just put a notification at the top of the screen. So I went to login using my password app and it wouldn’t recognise my password. I tried to renew the password and it wouldn't recognise my email I attempted to login with Apple and Google in case I had actually logged in with them I knew I hadn’t
Subscriptions clearly said I had three days of trial remaining because I can't login I can't use it

### 1/5 — Not free!

*2026-01-27, version 4.14.1*

Says it comes with a free version but it doesn't!

### 1/5 — Great idea but it's Paid

*2025-10-15, version 4.12*

Would be a great idea but they make you waste a few minutes filling up a nonsense quiz and only THEN it tells you it's paid. I am not spending £50 a year or £13 a month...

### 1/5 — Not free

*2025-08-06, version 4.12*

Very misleading

### 5/5 — ESSENTIAL!!!

*2026-07-30, version 4.18.1*

I don’t usually write reviews but this app is now a necessity during my workdays because I DO NOT get up from my chair otherwise. Very thankful for whoever made this app <3 worth every penny!!

### 5/5 — Bc

*2026-04-04, version 4.16.0*

This is exactly what I needed. I sit at the desk too much and I don’t move enough. This simple app helps remind me to move more so I don’t stay stagnant!! Must try!!

### 5/5 — Workday Treats

*2025-12-17*

This app is fabulous. I’ve already convinced everyone in my family and several of my friends and colleagues to use this. The premium version is well worth the money. The variety of guided breaks that include stretching, cardio, steps and breathing exercises, randomized at the intervals you set is fabulous and provides such welcome breaks within a long day in front of the Zoom screen. They have helped me with back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and the monotony of these WFH days. The animated exercise guides are terrific as are the voiced guidance. These breaks are my favorite parts of each work day.

### 5/5 — Un essentiel au quotidien !

*2025-09-21*

Très bonne application ! Bien pensé ! À avoir au quotidien ! Petit bémol ne pas avoir d’exercice de relaxation, plus long ou un mode entièrement paramétrable. Autre petit bémol il serait bien d’avoir une pause de deux à trois secondes dans l’exercice lors d’un changement de direction ou de côté. Enfin, il me semble que la prévisualisation vidéo de l’exercice suivant entre chaque exercice ne se lance pas certaines fois. À part ça cette application et réellement bien conçu et la version payante vaut le coup ! Ajouter un paramètre, qui suivant les capteurs de mouvement du téléphone envoie une alerte paramètrable lorsqu’on ne bouge plus depuis un certains temps serait un gros plus !

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-07-23*

Good app!

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Merci pour votre message et désolé pour la confusion.

Il se peut qu’un bug ait affiché à tort une offre d’essai gratuit alors qu’elle n’était plus disponible. Nous travaillons activement à corriger cela.

Apple indique normalement si un essai est inclus avant le paiement. Si vous n’arrivez pas à obtenir un remboursement via Apple, écrivez-nous à support@getmoova.app — nous ferons de notre mieux pour vous aider.

Merci encore d’avoir signalé ce problème.

### 5/5 — Easy and gets me moving!

*2025-05-06, version 4.10.1*

I love this app. I do 3 minutes every hour and I don't have to remind myself, the app does it for me along with different exercises to keep me from getting bored. I wish though it calculated total workout minutes per day. I have to do it manually.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2024-12-17, version 4.7.0*

I’m enjoying this app, it’s a good prod to get up from my desk and move around a bit. Should be essential for all home workers.

I’m sure people could do these exercises themselves but it provides variety of exercises and prompts without having to think too much, a godsend for those of us so caught up we forget to move.

I contacted support and I found the response quick and helpful an important consideration when thinking of annual subscription.

### 5/5 — Moova

*2024-10-14, version 4.1.2*

It’s really great for stretching. I use it everyday.

### 5/5 — I use this app daily!

*2024-09-30*

I really like the Moova app. I’ve been using it for a year and will keep using it. It’s very flexible and you can set it up to remind you to exercise and stretch as often as you want. You can choose target areas you want to emphasize and switch to a different area any time you want to. It’s been very helpful in getting me up and moving several times a day.

### 5/5 — wonderful app with great features

*2024-09-29, version 4.0.1*

absolutely love this app. Would gladly pay the fee in its current state. its exactly what i need
