What if I want to stand every 75 minutes? Also, for a paid app, the design is pretty basic. If you need a timer that fits within an hour maximum, this will probably do the job. ### 4/5 — Micro Breaks *2017-06-22, version 2.0* This app is great for getting you up out of your chair or for giving you a chance to stretch tired or tense muscle. Very useful aid to remind you to take a break. I hope in the next update that the developer will include a stop time for the end of the day. It comes with a start, but no stop. ### 4/5 — Five stars if... *2016-03-23, version 2.0* I would give this 5 stars if it would reset the timer if I stand up before the alarm goes off. With movement detection, that would be a great enhancement! Thanks ### 5/5 — Recommended by RN working with Sciatica patients *2015-08-27, version 2.0* After a wicked bout of Sciatica 2 months ago, an old friend recommended this. She said it was the best app. Very helpful — and the reminders appear on my Apple Watch! This along with Duo Mobile (2-step authentication) make my watch a win! I'm finally standing every 30 minutes like I knew I should be. ### 5/5 — Pretty cool *2015-06-01, version 2.0* I really like it I have become very sedentary because of depression it makes me more mindful of the need to get up and go do something ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2015-05-31, version 2.0* A simple and easy reminder to getup and move around. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-05-29, version 2.0* Just the app I need to get healthier!!! ### 5/5 — Timely & useful! *2015-05-22, version 2.0* Keep seeing news reports about how sitting at my computer too long is killing me...very glad to see there's an app for that! ### 4/5 — Could be 5 star app w/update *2014-05-28, version 1.12* This is a great concept - I sit a lot so I really need this app! It is easy to use and has a good layout. I like the simple look, the icon, and the well-sized lettering. The customizable nag alarms are great. Also great is the ability to set the reminder time for M-F (or other days). It is motivational to see how many times you actually stood and what the interval between standing was. Only problem is that the alarm is too quiet and too short. Really need ability to select custom sound (e.g. one that is longer and louder). It is WAY too easy to not hear the alarm and nag reminders as is (thereby making the app useless). Would also be motivating if amount of time standing could be added. If louder, longer alarm option, would be 5 stars. Please add this. It is really needed and peoples' good health may depend on it! Thanks. ### 5/5 — Stand Alarm! *2013-02-04, version 1.1* Stand Alarm is awesome! Not only is it a good reminder to stand up and move around, it also serves as an excellent countdown timer or other simple reminder device. For example, I use it as a simple cooking timer, or as a reminder to add coins to the parking meter. So simple and easy to use, and unlike other timer apps, this one is not at all obnoxious in either sound or appearance! Thanks, Against The Grain Development!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bogus *2020-03-24, version 2.1.1* This is not what I was expecting from this app I want my money back it doesn’t recommend and activities while standing ### 1/5 — Wrong purchase *2019-03-02, version 2.1.1* I want my money back. Didn’t want this ### 1/5 — Confusing settings *2016-03-19, version 2.0* Super simple yet the settings are still confusing. ### 1/5 — Wish I wouldn't have purchased *2016-01-13, version 2.0* After getting the app I wasn't impressed. Where's the refund button? Just set your phone timer, it does the same thing. Nothing special but a timer. ### 1/5 — Too basic *2014-04-29* It's not worth any money, doesn't keep stats, need improvement. Needs to stop opening the app when you reset the time. Did the developers even test this app? ### 1/5 — Bad usability *2013-08-21, version 1.12* The UI is too simple. I don't know whether it is designed on purpose to be this simple, but it lacks or hides too many important functions for such a health app. ### 2/5 — Needs an end of day time *2021-03-28, version 2.1.1* I don’t want a reminder after I go to bed ### 3/5 — A bit limited *2023-02-23* I have a sit-stand desk and thought this would help remind me to change positions. The fact that it nags every 3 mins is great because the app that came with my desk doesn’t; if you miss the notification it won’t re-prompt. Where this app falls over is that it only prompts me to stand and doesn’t have a ‘now sit back down’ alarm. (Yes, I know I could just sit at the next alarm but hear me out)… It needs two things to be perfect: 1. Ability to switch between sitting/standing status and track stats on how long you were sitting vs standing. 2. Ability to set different periods for sitting be standing (e.g. 40 mins sit, 20 mins stand). ### 3/5 — One Feature Missing *2017-04-11, version 2.0* This would be a great app if it used the phone's ability to detect motion so it would reset the timer when you stand up. ### 3/5 — If all you want is a reminder, then this is perfect *2013-03-29, version 1.12* This is a fine app for what it does. It would be nice if you could track how long you stood and how long you sat. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2022-04-28, version 2.1.1* Just what I was looking for. Simple reminder to stand up for a few minutes each work hour. I do wish you could to set end time for your reminders, but other than that, no complaints. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-02-15* Great app as I sit for 12 hrs at my work help me remind to stand every 30 min good 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Simple and Perfect *2018-12-14, version 2.1.1* Exactly what I wanted in a stand notification app. Easy to use and customize. Would LOVE an Apple Watch version with same settings and features. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-01-31, version 2.1.1* Simple and easy! My only gripe (maybe I’m not doing something right) is that I’d like it to nag me if I don’t have the app open. Maybe it’s an operator error, ha! Seriously though.. great app! Just what I’ve been on the lookout for, as I sit on my keyster all day and need to remember to stand up. ### 5/5 — Find the owner *2017-03-19, version 2.0* I need to find the owner who made this!!! Asap! He knows me! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2017-02-20, version 2.0* Exactly what I was looking for! ### 5/5 — Helping my recovery! *2016-12-01, version 2.0* I recently had hip replacement surgery. During my recovery I need to be sure to stand every 30 minutes. This app is so helpful and is simple to use. I can concentrate on other things rather than watching the clock all the time. Thanks for a great app! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2016-07-26, version 2.0* Not too complicated, just a notice to stand up. Adjustable to what you want including time between stands and alerts if they don't hear from you. It's perfect. ### 5/5 — Love the simplicity *2016-03-18, version 2.0* Live this app and the way it very simply nags me to stand. My only suggestion would be to allow to set timing for both sit and stand. ### 5/5 — Life changer *2015-11-19, version 2.0* I have tried multiple apps (both on PC and iPhone) and this one is the best of the bunch. A perfect example of simple is best. Highly recommended. And a great virtual stocking stuffer for coworkers, friends and family. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
