Wakeout! Break the Sit Habit for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By R. Jennings

  Really Helpful

  I was dubious about this app when I first stumbled upon it. However, I went ahead and pulled the trigger purchasing a years subscription. In all honesty I must say it has become one of the greatest decisions I’ve made pertaining to apps. Wakeout has become a cheerleader in the sense of reminding me to keep my focus on wanting to become more active. It’s very reminiscent of having your best friend by your side. That friend everyone has that you love and support and in turn they do the same yet you both bring out the competitive side in each other so you end up doing the things you wouldn’t have done alone. To the creators of Wakeout I send a huge THANK YOU. In this new age of Covid-19 and social distancing it’s no longer an option to have that BFF I spoke of by your side like the old days. So at least for me and at least for the foreseeable future I’ll let Wakeout fill that friend role and be thankful for having the option to do so.

  Love the exercises, not the app

  The exercises are fun, timely, and appropriate. I haven’t seen any other apps that offer simple “in the moment” exercises geared to the environment I’m usually in - whether it’s getting out of bed or sitting on a couch or in a coffee shop. That being said, the container for these fun exercises is enraging. The UX is truly terrible. Want to change notifications time? Sure! Here you go. We’ll ignore your changes of course, but so what? We know what’s best for you. The music would be good except for the fact that it uses short loops that don’t transition well into each other - very abrupt. Payment? Sure, we promised a 7 day trial period...but unless you sign up for a subscription, good luck with that - the lifetime license I bought was charged immediately (I don’t think there’s any other way to do it, but the developer must make it clear). I don’t think there’s a free trial, nor does my iPhone and iPad sync. Restore purchases? Bwahahaha! Surely you jest. Bottom line: fantastic app brought lower by a dozen paper cuts. And yeah that bilious green color is revolting.

  Wakeout is the Best!

  I’ve had this app for a long time now and I thought I had written a glowing review before, but here goes again: Wakeout is the best, most versatile workout app you can get! I love it so much! I especially love some of the seated wakeouts because my boyfriend is in a wheelchair and we can wakeout together!!! The only final suggestion I can make for Wakeout is I wish there was a “dictionary” of every wakeout and you could build your own!!!! That way, I could make a full wakeout for us to do together and not have to skip around! I’m sure there are lots of people out there who would use it! Thanks to the devs for all of your hard work and improvements and thanks for making the app more inclusive and accessible to everyone!!!

  So much potential, but not enough

  I am looking for an app that will help me remember to move throughout the day because my job is mostly sitting in an office. This app has sooo much potential, but just not enough that I would want to spend the subscription price on it. I like the idea that you can share it with the family, but there isn’t even really a profile page. There’s not really a home page either. It just goes straight to different exercises. And then there isn’t a way to set your weekly schedule to be reminded for the workouts each day so if it’s noon on Tuesday and you’ve forgotten to set the focus time then you’ve already missed out on half the days exercises. Another thing I didn’t like was that when you do set the focus time, you’re basically stuck on that page and can’t navigate to any other page on the app unless you end your focus time. 3 stars for such a good idea and great, unique movement exercises. Just not quite enough in the app to convince me to purchase.
