This feels more like a game than a workout app. I work 10+ hours a day at my desk and I know how bad that is for me. I’ve tried many (MANY!) apps that claim to get me up and incentivize me to move, but they’ve never worked. This is the first one that makes me want to take that break. The workouts are fun, but don’t let the short time and seemingly easy movements fool you. Some can be quite challenging! I like that it has a range from mobility and stretching to strength to endurance. Getting older, mobility and stretching are becoming more important, and more challenging, too. What I love best is that there are additional incentives like power hour and theme packs, and more. It’s like a health slot machine where you get notified of a boost. I’ll tell you, that’s what gets me moving! I love that I can choose short or longer durations. It can really be customized, and so far, it’s not gotten boring or annoying. I actually want to get those nudges now. I love it and never thought the small breaks would be welcomed, let alone fun. I know it’s good for my health to be frequently mobile, but now I’m not doing it because I have to, but because I want to. Wakeout keeps it fresh!

Have been using this app for a while now, and as long as I keep on track (don’t forget to use it 🙈), it has helped me a lot to stay focused on work and leave everything for the break, any interrupting thought, any pause or non-work related thing, I leave it for the break with no remorse. I can progress thru my tasks and then do a little reward stretch 🙌🏻😁. I feel like I actually progress thru the day instead of all it being a blur and not accomplishing anything since this WFH began (which I loved but haven’t managed the best way). Love the app and will continue to use and recommend 🥳🥳// Previous review: Not sure if it was due to an update or that I recently change phones (went from iPhone 6 to 11), but now when I open the app I see the initial Wakeout welcome logo, and then the screen is all white, it doesn’t load anything at all nor it seems like anything is happening in the background. Hopefully is something the team is aware of and they are working on fixing it, I really like the app to help me be less sedentary during the work day 🤞🏻

There are a lot of things I like about this program, I paid the $60 for it, which is a big deal for me. Using it so far I've had some not so user friendly problems with it, including the iPhone and Mac use/interfade of the app. as well as with Health Data. They don't seem to talk to one another, so data from the laptop doesn't show up on phone. Also I don't understand the timer and various things to program in, no explanations on use of the app in it. Much of it is intuitive, but not all. Have sent an email, but as yet no answer. I'd like to redo some of the exercises I've done before on another day, and that's hard to do. Moving around in the app needs improvement too. The exercises are great, I'm getting to move different areas of my body throughout the day for short periods which keeps my energy up and focus clear. That's very valuable. Also, it says I can create a team, inviting up to 10 friends, and I click on the "let's go" and nothing happens. Frustrating as I have a co-worker who's enjoying the music and likes the idea. But nothing happens. No explanation, either or troubleshooting. Hence the 3.5-.4* review. Next upgrade, make it 5*!
