Notification Spam
Why is it sending me notifications every single time it disconnects from my phone? No kidding I took my phone 15 feet away into the other room and it’s going to disconnect from my desk. I don’t need to be spammed with disconnect and reconnect notifications telling me that that’s occurring.
Also it never remembers my phone so I can never use Siri Shortcuts.

Latest version worse
Seems like a reason up to is allow me to save settings so that I can establish your connection easily.
I will be more cautious about updating in the future

Please fix this!
I love my uplift desk. This app, however, needs a major fix. It keeps sending me notifications that “reminders and tracking will stop” because I walked out of the room where my desk is. And then I have to go through the whole connecting thing again. Please fix this! How is it possible that a company with so many customers and users can’t have a simple fix?!?!

UI update looks better but performance is down
The UI looks great but now half the settings don’t save and it forces me to reconnect every time I open the app, it doesn’t remember my desk. Hopefully this is fixed soon!
Update was better, but not anymore
The original app wasn’t great. The update made lots of QoL improvements. Until some recent update that now forces me to reconnect anytime I open the app, whether it’s been open or not, as if it’s never seen my desk ever. Which is super annoying throughout the day when it’s reminding me to sit or stand. When that gets fixed, I’ll try to remember to update this review.

Redesign is good, still some issues
First, I am getting constant notifications that the app has disconnected from my desk when I am on the edge of connectivity. Please turn this notification off, I don’t need to see it and there’s not really any action I can take to fix the issue. I’ve blocked the app from notifications until this is fixed.
Second, the Siri Shortcuts don’t seem to work.
Third, the app doesn’t seem to read the presets I have already entered into the desk.
Fourth, I use multiple devices and it would be nice for settings to carry over.
Fifth, HomeKit integration would be very helpful.

Love the new UI
Love the new UI - big improvement!
Needs app intents
I just purchased my Uplift desk and to my dismay, the app requires my iphone to be unlocked when invoking the voice-siri shortcut. The app needs an update right away that uses app-intents which run in the background (not the same as background refresh) and allows a way for apps to trigger shortcuts with or without phone lock. In this case we want the voice command to work while phone is locked. Pls Devs make this happen!

Unreliable
If you don’t keep the app at the forefront it disconnects from the desk and therefore the alerts and timers stop working and when you open the app again it reconnect to the desk and all of the timers are reset. So annoying.
App appears to be broken with iOS 26
App will not find my desk anymore after updating my phone to iOS 26.
Constantly crashing
This app worked only once. Since then the app constantly crashes and will not even load. This app is trash and the developer needs to fix it.
Limited functionality, all very poorly designed
I have the desktop converter - a device that sits on top of an existing desk.
When attempting to set the Sit height - the app tells me that 1.6” (the setting where the device is lowered to desk height) is out of the device’s range.
Unfortunately, since the app is completely useless, 1 star seems appropriate.

Decent but basic
The app works well enough. Just hoping more features are released. Would be great to have Apple health integration for standing, and a work schedule option for the standing reminders.
Try it on the Mac
If you use a Mac for work (and if it’s a Mac with Apple Silicon) try installing this on your Mac instead of on your phone.
Others complained about bluetooth connectivity from their phone when stepping away from their desk but if you use this from your computer you won't have that problem.
As for the app itself, I don't think the UX is great but the functionality seems to be there. Here's to hoping it gets better over time. Perhaps a native Mac (menu bar?) app would be ideal for this.
Altogether Uplift seems like a great company. Thanks to them I have a high quality desk with all sorts of features and options to make it work well for my use case.

Wanting Widget Support
Overall, the app is great and works reliably. It’s easy to setup, connect, and configure the desk settings. However, is it an annoyance to have to fully open the app just raise/lower the desk. Now that iOS interactive widgets exist, it would be great to easily adjust the desk height from my Home Screen. It does appear that the physical remote can trigger sit/stand timers so that would be a good workaround for the app.

Horrible app
Manual connection process if horrible. Quicker to quit the app, relaunch and have it automatically connect
The desk has 4 memories and the app has only 2. Worse they call them “sit” and “stand” and limit the ranges (for example stand cannot be set lower than 35.5.
Had I known this advance I would not have bought their product.
No response form support.

Could be so much more
The app does it’s job but lacks a lot of refinement. I am disappointed with the lack of the following.
- A watch app
- Shortcuts access to raise/lower the desk
- Additional height save points besides sit & stand
Adding the above would make this app really shine.

Lower quality app than I expected
* use my already configured heights and let me go to those with a click of a button
* let me integrate with Siri automations so I can schedule to have my desk raise in the morning and after lunch.
* UI is clunky and should be redone

good app with but need improvement
1. Need more option for the reminder alarm to choose from. Current reminder is to mild, I want to be able to choose from my phone alarm sounds
2. Bluetooth disconnect too easily. I need wider range and some buffer time to disconnect with my table.
3. Wish the app can automatically move the table up and down base on the reminder setup

Apple Health Sync
Love the concept of the app! Just wish I could sync this to my apple health so I can better track the calories burned throughout my day. But overall pretty great app and support team!
