Ratings and reviews

I like this app :) I just don't like how I have to dismiss the popup every time I check off if I did the squats. it would be really convenient if I could check them off from the notification so I don't have to open the app! also.... some of the quotes on the reminders are pretty demotivating... like saying I'm lazy if I don't do it but I have chronic illness so sometimes I pass if I'm not up to it.

What a neat and nifty little app! Squats Buddy is a simple and helpful way to get a healthy reminder every day to stay mobile and active during work hours. I work a 9 to 5 remote job in front of a computer, so it is very easy to lose track of time and sit for too long. The reminders are gentle, useful, and perfectly timed. I also really like how clean and easy the interface is. Everything is simple to understand, pleasant to look at, and easy to use without unnecessary clutter.

Didn't think the app would help, but I gave it a go nonetheless. I was honestly surprised that after a week of following notifications and doing literally 3-4 squats per set while working, my back issues went from painful to tolerable. Kudos to the developer.
