It would be super awesome if it was compatible with the Apple Watch ### 4/5 — Needs a Pause Button *2026-07-05, version 1.4.1* Should add a big pause button for an easy way to turn off these reminders during meetings, movies, etc. ### 4/5 — Positive *2026-06-22, version 1.4.1* Good app, fantastic support. ### 4/5 — It helps but not in the way i need *2026-06-05, version 1.4.1* Love this but I wish it could tell if you are standing or not I had set it to tell me every 30min and it did but even if I was already standing. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-05-26, version 1.4.1* I love the simplicity and the reminders to help me get up and walk around and do some stretches. Only feedback I would have is if it would provide some some suggested stretches. ### 5/5 — Simple BUT IT WORKS! *2026-05-24, version 1.4.1* I have tried many break time apps. Some paid and some free. All of them have fallen short of what they claim to do. Stand Up works like a charm. It has a clean simplistic UI and easy configuration settings. It sends a banner notification and plays a long and loud sound which there are many to choose from whenever your break time has arrived. It then sends another banner notification and plays a sound when your desired break time duration has expired. I do suggest setting your banner notification for the app to persistent. The default is temporary which doesn’t always give you enough time to click on it to silence the break time notification sound. This can be done by going to your device settings, scroll down to and click on apps, then scroll down to and click on Stand Up, then in the notifications banner style switch it from temporary to persistent. You’re all set to go. I hope you enjoy the app as much as I do. ### 5/5 — A very versatile app *2026-05-14, version 1.4.1* While it’s very good at what it says it is, a stand up reminder, it can be used for anything that you want to do on a regular basis throughout the day. A friend wanted a reminder to stretch regularly. Her fitness tracker would only remind her to stand up if she had been sitting. If she was doing housework, she was standing, but not stretching. I recommended this to her, because it doesn’t go by what you’re doing. It also has very good customer service. I asked a question today and it was answered very quickly. ### 5/5 — Using as a water timer *2026-04-15, version 1.4.1* I know it’s meant for standing, but it’s so effective and simple for drinking water on a cadence. I would go day without drinking water, but just set the timer to go off every time minutes and take a sip. I like that it starts and ends on its own. ### 5/5 — Stopped working *2026-04-05, version 1.4.1* All of a sudden the notifications and alerts to stand up stopped ??? ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-04-04, version 1.4.1* I love this app. The stand on my Apple Watch wasn’t working for me. And it didn’t have the simplicity and organization that this app have. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2026-04-01, version 1.4.1* This app does exactly what I want it to. It’s well designed and easy to use. I wanted to change the frequency of the Apple Watch reminders to stand, especially while I’m at work, and this app is exactly what I needed. ### 5/5 — Simple, fun and reliable *2026-03-18, version 1.4.1* I use this whenever I’m home. It gets me up and moving and reminds me there’s more to life than my computer. ### 5/5 — Simple and Easy *2026-03-17, version 1.4.1* The app is simple to use and doesn’t require any in-app purchases like every other app now. ### 5/5 — App is a gig help *2026-03-08, version 1.4.1* Good app to keep you moving during they day ### 5/5 — Best stand-up app in the app store *2026-02-18, version 1.4.1* I’ve had this app since 2021, when others in its category were charging a fee this app has remained free with full features (best app ever) ### 5/5 — So simple but so good *2026-02-15, version 1.4.1* In first lockdown I was sitting so much I ended up putting my back out badly. After that I looked for something just to remind me that I needed to move around a bit regularly - nothing dramatic but standing, mobilising my spine or whatever. This is the perfect app for that - very simple, very easy to use, has a “snooze” function at various durations and it’s just a super handy tool to support a good habit. You could even use it as a “pomodoro” tool. Ace. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2026-07-27, version 1.4.1* I got this app to remind me to get my steps in every single hour during the day. Unfortunately, I keep having to reset the stupid thing because instead of going off every 60 minutes throughout the day it goes off 60 minutes after I acknowledge the reminder. That means it goes off at 8 AM. I acknowledge it at 8:30 when I wake up. Then it doesn't go off again until 930. I acknowledge it at 9:35 when my hands are empty and it gets later every hour until it skips an hour, unless I reset the stupid thing every time I acknowledge it. I don't want it to go off 60 minutes from when I acknowledge it. I want it to go off every 60 minutes during the day!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Useless approach *2026-07-16, version 1.4.1* The app is lack of the ability to deliver what is expected, it's supposed to be reminding the user when time is up and bring his attention, the sound reminder through UI only is so funny and reflect lack of capability of development team, it has to function like alarm, I don't need to check my phone to see if I have a reminder, you miss the whole point of the use of this apo. I'm so disappointed as a professional IT knowing as a user what should I get ### 1/5 — Says there’s a Watch app *2026-03-03, version 1.4.1* There is no Watch app ### 1/5 — Not alerting *2025-12-07, version 1.4.1* Not alerting with sound but shows when open app? ### 1/5 — Does not detect movement *2025-09-26, version 1.4.1* Even if you are not sitting and moving vigorously around the house or outside for a walk, it is still sending you reminders to stand up. I only want to be reminded if I am sitting at my desk. ### 1/5 — Cannot Cancel Subscription *2025-09-18, version 1.4.1* This app is incredibly difficult to cancel. Simply deleting it does not end one’s subscription and they make it impossible to delete one’s subscription by not being transparent on where to do this - I’ve contacted the company w/ no reply. Just end my subscription already! ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t seem to work properly *2025-08-27, version 1.4.1* It sometimes prompts me to stand up when I’m standing. Doesn’t seem to track when I’ve been standing. ### 1/5 — No workie *2025-05-07, version 1.4.1* Paid money and it never alerts me to get up. Use it but don’t send money ### 1/5 — Prompts me even when I’m standing! *2021-05-13, version 1.4.1* This app seemed like a good idea, but it is constantly prompting me to stand when I am already standing. Sometimes I even get pinged when I am out on a walk or playing pickleball! If the Apple stand app on the watch can tell when I’m standing, why can’t your app?? I would use the Apple app except I cannot configure the interval times. It only prompts once an hour. Your app allows me to Configure the interval times, button can’t tell when I’m already up and drives me crazy!! Unfortunately, I am going to have to uninstall this app until that feature is implemented. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2021-02-02, version 1.4.1* It doesn’t work alarm keeps going even after it says next reminder in an hour then alarm goes off after 15min ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-23, version 1.4.1* Helpful easy to use app. Works well. Useful controls. Well done! ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-08-13, version 1.4.1* Nice app ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-12, version 1.4.1* This is perfect to set a reminder to stand up or move or etc ### 5/5 — Great idea. *2026-08-10, version 1.4.1* This is the perfect timer. Easy to setup, not noisy and a real help. I’m retired and never realized how long I sit at one time. I start a book three hours later I’m still sitting. This gets me up and moving. I like that I can set up the days, how long I sit and how long I stand. It’s been a great help. Been using it for weeks now and it’s a real help to keep moving. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-20, version 1.4.1* This app is a wonderful reminder to stand up and move especially for people like me who sit in front of a computer all day. ### 5/5 — Really helps! *2026-07-17, version 1.4.1* The gentle reminders help me stay on track and I don’t get sore and stuff during the day! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-06-16, version 1.4.1* Need to stand up every 45 and this app does the trick! Simple and useful. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2026-06-06, version 1.4.1* This is the BEST health app for us who do remote work. I’m glad I can rely on it. ### 5/5 — MOVE *2026-06-01, version 1.4.1* I have a sedentary job and, although, I THINK I move a lot during the day, I realize I still need to move more. This app sends me notices to stand. It gets me to move to a new location and, even if I am still working during my standing period, I move! So far so good. I just need the sound to be louder. ### 5/5 — The best one *2026-06-01, version 1.4.1* After using it for a little while, I still absolutely love this stand reminder app. It's helpful and straight to the point. I find myself looking forward to the next little ding, as the actual standing and moving really does make me feel more energized and less fatigued. Cute lil app, lovely interface, and feeling better for using it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
