***Desk Job? Sit too Long and Often? Did you know sitting can be deadly in the long run?
********* StandApp Helps Combat "Sitting Disease" ********
Millions of Americans lead sedentary lifestyles (sitting for 9+ hours a day) due to desk jobs, or inactivity. Recent studies performed by the CDC(Center for Disease Control and Prevention) suggest that sedentary lifestyles lead to a host of health risks.
These risks include; obesity, cardiovascular disease, poor cholesterol, high blood pressure, breast and colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, and overall higher mortality rate. Due to the high health risks of compounded extended sitting, it's time for people to take a pro-active approach to maintaining a healthy and active life.
StandApp promotes healthy living by providing an alarm reminder to stand up and take a break from your desk.
StandApp includes 15 easy exercises anyone can perform at their desk during their standing breaks.
You can set the reminder interval to a custom time, we recommend a break at least every hour.
Experts say avoiding the sedentary life is mostly about remembering to be active. Even people who work a desk job for 60 hours each week can still work movement into their days — getting up for a cup of water instead of keeping one at your desk, walking down the hall to talk to a colleague rather than sending an email. StandApp keeps you accountable to this task.

I think there was a recent update. I now have to fight with the app randomly opening while I am doing other things even when I have the timer turned off.

I downloaded this app to use at work. Worked great but then there was no way to turn it off. So it kept popping up all night when I didn't need it. Got too annoying and had to uninstall. Would be great if you could set the days and/or hours that you want it to remind you. Or another option would be location specific.

I liked it until later that day, after closing it, it began popping up and opening itself without any prompting...usually when using my camera.

Job it does is okay. But I can't believe that when you close it it keeps reopening again. What could the developers be thinking? Got rid

You have to go into the app settings and force it to stop running to get it to stop popping up. Needs an update to fix this. Otherwise, I like it.

This does exactly what it says but there is no way to disable it when you're not at work. Super annoying. If they'd just add that one little feature is be happy to keep it. Uninstalling.

The first day I was using it - great! Then I realized that I could not SHUT IT OFF. Sure, I can make it stop buzzing (and allow me to get to sleep) but it opens itself up over anything else I might be doing with my phone - drains the battery like crazy. It's ridiculous, when I close the app, it should stay closed. Not cool. Found another without that problem. Uninstalled.

Kept popping up ALL the time. Could not set it for times, like Monday thru Friday, 9-5, when sitting the most.

This would be a great app, if it didn't spontaneously pop up every 5 seconds. Super annoying. Had to uninstall.

Love the idea of this app because I have a desk job but you can't stop it! It pops up over and over when I am using my phone. I close it and it comes right back. Please fix so you can close it. Sorry to have to uninstall.

Kinda frustrating to have this app pop up without setting any alarm at all. I liked it at first but if I can't find a way to stop it from opening on its own and interrupting my phone use I'll have to uninstall.

...but it needs a few tweaks...including type-os fixed. I agree with others....it doesn't always shut off when I tell it to and then tried to butt its way in when I'm using other apps.

It would be better if you could customize the alert. If there's a way to do this I've missed it. It uses the same ring tone as my email so the first time it went off I didn't even realize it.

I'm still going use it but I can't pause the timer, it shows the same exercise each time, and the standing break overlaps the sitting timer.

Refuses to stay down. I keep quitting it but out won't stop coming to the foreground whenever I unlock my phone. Really really annoying!

It's impossible to make the app silent, this is very necessary at work place. The app keeps opening up randomly any time during the night. Uninstall!

I installed on a Saturday to try on Monday at work. It started itself 4 times..... uninstalled. That's annoying.

I couldn't use other apps as it would pop up over the top of them. Try entering a password in a bank app when this one wants you to turn it on. You can't turn it off even to sleep at night. Great app otherwise.

I heard about this app from an iPhone user who loves it. I would have liked to see some arm/wrist/hand stretches. Also, the replay icon covers up a lot of the text in the videos, including timing counts. I also had the same problem others mentioned with the app refusing to quit/stay exited. The constant popups forced me to uninstall. Sad, because I've been looking for an app like this for some time. Please fix!

Video wouldn't play and wouldn't stay off while not needed ..

This is a good idea, and well presented. However, is been implemented pretty badly. This app seems to wake itself up and sets itself as the foreground app every 15 minutes, even when you're not using the tracker. This is extremely annoying behaviour and breaks some other apps, such as sleep as android.

Needs more configurable items. For some reason it comes to the foreground whenever it turn on phone.
