VARIDESK Standing Timer

App does not update and restart the tally each day. Notifications don't actually work. It does have a timer that works, but again, the lack of notifications pretty much defeats the entire purpose. I'm surprised a company would market such a poorly designed app.

It doesn't keep track of my sitting and standing through the entire day! It stops and restarts on its own. So annoying

I thought this app would track and remind me when to sit or stand and also give me a full day overview of sitting/standing time but it constantly resets to 0 hours and the reminders to sit/stand are delayed and sporadic, needs some work for sure

I'd like to see my sit/stand calories and info PER DAY. This thing says today but it's keeping a running total and is not resetting daily. I also don't get a consistent notification to sit or stand. This app isn't very useful.

The timer stops when my screen times out. Not helpful.

Useless. My phone already has a timer

Galaxy S5 - I'd rate it 5 but I get no notifications even though they are turned on and notification is at full.

I love it very helpful it keeps track of your sitting and standing its excellent!

Needs option to reset daily

No notifications make this a bit useless.

HORRIBLE. I LOVE my Varidesk but this app needs work. Won't let me correctly set the time I work. The timer works but I can't hear the chime reminder so I have to keep checking my phone to check the app, really annoying.

The app would quit tracking - sometimes going only five or six minutes, sometimes going for almost 40. It would not let me enter weight and did not send notifications. I was very disappointed and uninstalled it.

What a useless app it is, the start time is messed up always causing wrong calculation..not happy at all.

Doesn't count time accurately. I started the standing timer around 8:15AM today. I have it set to 120 minutes of standing. I set it for another standing round directly after the first. I then selected to sit for almost 60 minutes, then stood for another 40 minutes. That adds up to 5 hours, 40 minutes... Why does it show I've stood for 8.1 hours and say for 1.8 hours?!?! I haven't even BEEN here that long... Nice idea poorly executed.

This app is a joke. 1 calorie for standing 1 hour? I beg to differ. There's no way to edit the time for standing and sitting and there are no alerts when the time runs out. Don't waste your time

I was hoping the app would actually help train me to transition to a standing desk. Like there would be levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and each would have certain amount of preset sitting and standing time. Or that it would track my personal improvement etc. Instead it's just a timer and calories counter. I expected more from veridesk!

Disappointed... The app does not notify when the time is up. (And, yes, I set the option to do so in Settings.) Go to work, Varidesk! Notification to stand or sit needs to be ON SCREEN! Have you heard of overriding Sleep Mode? If the screen stays dark, it's a fail.

It's fine except that the app won't reset everyday making your daily totals not that. Also, I should be able to look at trends and e history of sit/stand and cals by day, week, etc. Super weak app right now with insanely easy methods to make it worthwhile. DO SOMETHING!!!

VARIDESK only posts notifications to stand or sit during your workday. You specify your work hours and the days of the week that you work on the Settings page. There's also a toggle to enable / disable notifications. If the sit or stand timer counts down to zero outside of work hours or on a non-work day, nothing happens. Also, during work hours, if VARIDESK is running, nothing happens when the timer reaches zero. The workaround is to go back to the launcher. This is a minor quirk; it works quite well in practice. I'd like to see 5 minute increments for sit / stand time, but I can live with 10 minute increments. It would be nice to have the option of an ongoing notification showing the time remaining, but perhaps that would unnecessarily complicate the settings page. This is the best app I've found for the purpose. I love the clean interface. I often use my Android Wear watch to tell VARIDESK that I've switched positions rather than getting out my phone. For reference, I have a Nexus 6P running Marshmallow.

I would like to see the app connected to other apps. With the calorie burn for standing, want to get credit toward my daily activity and earn my points. Also the app should restart every 24 hours not manual manipulation.

Not very useful. Could be better.

I use it all the time!

Like the reminder on when to stand

Not usable.

Works great!!!!!!

Timer doesn't count down correctly unless you keep the app open and screen on.

Timer appears to be running at 2/3 speed.

Like it

Had same problem as others with timer not working when app in background or device on standby. Optimally this app would work in background and give push notifications when it is time to sit/stand. Good concept, looking forward to improvements.

Timer stopped when my screen went to sleep. Unable to easily switch to stand when I wanted to (rather than wait for timer)

It started counting down the time.... Went to a few different apps, thinking it was working in the background, even when the screen was off. It was not working and did not alert me.

At home decors...
