Stand Up Reminder

According to Harvard Health Publications, more than half of the average person’s waking hours are spent sitting: watching television, working at a computer, commuting, or doing other physically inactive pursuits. But all that sitting could be sending us to an early grave—even those folks who exercise up to an hour a day.

If Americans would cut their sitting time in half, their life expectancy would increase by roughly:
+ 2 years (by reducing sitting to less than 3 hours a day)
+ 1.4 years (by reducing TV time to less than 2 hours a day)

The Stand Up Reminder is the break timer app which helps you to stand more at office, at home, reminds you to stand up at the right time, tracks all the time you stood, calculates calories burned during your standing. And the most important thing: helps you to form a new habit of standing and moving instead of sitting.

Basically a creepy stopwatch
lsweimler

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.

Doesn't work in background

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.

Stopped reminding me
Rentrikin

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.

Manual and tedious
Financialdisaster

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.

Could use some improvements
Quackersmama

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.
