Ratings and reviews

Okay app. The controls are a bit confusing at first but you understand it pretty quickly. Only serious issue I have is that the notifications only come once you turn the screen on. If I forget to check the time regularly I won't get alerted. I checked all settings and permissions, don't know what's wrong.

Great idea, too inflexible. I set my timer for 1 hour and it was counting down. Then I took my walk early and wanted to reset the timer. Couldn't find a way to stop it from counting down or to reset it. Doesn't work for me.

Just download it today but so far I like it. The settings need a hour of sleep mode where we can program in what hours of the day it needs to remained us to move and what hours we are sleeping. Also a suggested personalized plan going by our weight and body types would be interesting on here
