Sitting all day is bad for your health. Studies show:
* Heart disease and cancer risk go up
* Life expectancy goes down
Health experts recommend that you get up and move periodically.
Not quite ready to stand up when an alarm goes off? No problem, Stand Alarm will remind you later based on your schedule preferences.
Alarms are scheduled as notifications, so the app does not need to be open to remind you to stand.

Stand Alarm!

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!!
If all you want is a reminder, then this is perfect

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.
Bad usability

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.
Could be 5 star app w/update

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.
Timely & useful!

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.
