Other than a choice of reminder sounds which don't work, the Pro version offers nothing that the free version doesn't have, and neither of them works. ### 1/5 — Beware dodgy ad links! *2016-05-23* Accidentally clicked an ad link from the app and was redirected to 'pornhub'. Not impressed - I deleted the app immediately. ### 1/5 — Useless *2016-01-21, version 3.0* Horribly useless app, do not buy. ### 1/5 — Manual and tedious *2015-12-11, version 3.0* Aside from the fact it syncs with apple health, it doesn't connect to a wearable and there are too many clicks involved in launching the timer. This could be stated more transparently in the apps description. Aside from its one redeeming feature, it could use some functional rethinking : perhaps oriented towards bridging the pebble time with apple health app. ### 1/5 — Stopped reminding me *2015-10-07, version 2.2* This app worked great for a couple hours and then just stopped reminding me, which was the sole purpose I got it. I also paid for the upgrade. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work in background *2015-05-14, version 1.0* What is the point of this app if it only keeps time while you're on their screen? I?have other things to do and can't always have this open. Not useful. ### 1/5 — Basically a creepy stopwatch *2015-04-11* It gives you a "goal" of 40 mins of standing total per 24 hours... You tap a button that says you're ready to stand and 5:00 shows on the screen - the creepiest voice I have ever heard says "start counting" the timer begins to count down. When it ends the creepy voice says "okay. Done." You almost dread being done... If you decide to switch out of this app into anything else... Say... Something to kill time while you're pacing around for 5 minutes... It will stop the countdown and not record it. Seriously, just use the stopwatch on your phone. It'll be the same, except a lot less creepy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads and not Functional *2024-06-11* You are constantly bombarded with ads in this app and you cannot easily customize it to simply remind you to stand up and move. ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2024-01-21, version 9.4.0* It provides a countdown with no ability to change any settings. ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2021-04-07* I started the timer before 6AM and turned it off just after 8AM Should have been about 140 minutes. Nope 28 minutes. This app just does NOT function at all. Now I’m passed I paid the $3 for it, what a piece of useless garbage. ### 1/5 — This app is a waste of space *2021-04-03* Tested this for the last few days. The app doesn’t give any reminders to stand or move. It only tracks if you specifically start it every hour. If I already did that, I wouldn’t need an app. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2021-02-06* In the 5 seconds I had the app open, I saw 3 full screen ads. No thanks ### 1/5 — useless *2021-01-26* difficult to navigate, not user friendly, probably haven’t made an update to their app in YEARS. really disappointed and waste of money. ### 1/5 — Dont’t bother *2021-01-08* This was the most annoying experience I’ve ever had with an app. Every time it registered data collected in 10 minute increments that you enter, An ad of some sort would pop up and make them a bunch of noise. The only way I could get rid of the ad, was by shutting down my phone. Super annoying. I had the app for one day. ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-05-25* Too many restrictions on the free one. You can’t use it to see if you want to buy. Simple minutes can be changed. I’m out ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Sync With IPhone *2020-04-02* Waste of time. ### 1/5 — I really hate this app! *2020-01-18* Only fit for the trash. I want my money back. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What one needs. No frills, just 100% pure efficiency *2021-04-20* Good, good, good ### 3/5 — Some bugs make it awkward to use *2022-09-21* Message isn’t actually customizable. The form input only takes numbers and it doesn’t even update the message. It updates goal instead. Also the app doesn’t refresh properly when you don’t use it for a day. The tracking and logging uses the last day the app was opened on. ### 3/5 — Updates made it worse *2020-11-03* I really liked a previous version, but not so much the current version. I might have skipped a few updates. It no longer has a good sound for notification & the old app let me do 3 min each half hour. ### 3/5 — Not very customizable *2020-04-06* You should be able to adjust standing goal from 5min to any period you want ### 2/5 — I don’t understand it *2024-01-29* This app is supposed to tell me every 30 minutes to stand for 15 minutes…. If i close the app the timer stops. It doesn’t notify me at all and when it has a notification you can’t access it. It’s not worth it, at least not on my phone. I will give it another try on the Ipad, but i dont have high hopes ### 2/5 — First things first: Ads! *2023-06-14* An unskippable ad popped up before the tutorial for the app. No thanks... ### 2/5 — Pop up ads annoying *2017-09-09* Too basic, not really sure what to do with this app. Pop up ads are annoying. ### 2/5 — Could use some improvements *2016-08-11, version 4.0* Great concept. Better if built into a STEP COUNTER like Fitbit. I hate to hit the "go" every 5-muinutes. I stand at work (or walk) all day. DRAINS the phone battery. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
