Get Moving is a very easy to use activity tracker that will keep track of everything from the number of steps you take to informing you whenever you have been inactive for too long.
ACTIVITY TRACKING
If you have an iPhone 5s or newer then you have no excuse to be idle. Move around, go for a walk, hit the treadmill or run around the city. Get Moving knows how active you are without you having to tell it anything.
DAILY ACTIVITY METRICS, NOW WITH CALORIE TRACKING
To motivate you even further, you will be able to view how many hours you’ve been active during the day, how many steps you have taken and the distance you have moved. Try to walk 10000 steps a day or set your own daily goals. And don’t forget to check the number of calories you have burned before hitting that snack.
HEALTH APP INTEGRATION
By integrating with the Health App, Get Moving is able to increase the accuracy of its calculations. Get Moving will also read dietary calories from the Health App to inform you about the difference between active burned calories and consumed calories if such data has been provided.
DESK JOB?
To start Get Moving inactivity tracking simply specify a time interval and tap the clock. You decide if you want to repeat intervals or just be reminded once, Get Moving takes care of the rest. To turn off the timer, simply tap the clock again.
INACTIVITY LOCATIONS
Using the location manager Get Moving also presents you with statistics to help you keep track of the places where you have been inactive during the day and for how long.
SITTING OR WALKING?
Get Moving is smart enough to automatically detect when you are idle or on the move. If you start moving, the timer will stop after a few seconds and when you sit down again a new time interval will be set for you. There is no need to specify how long a break should be Get Moving will adjust to what you are doing.
BETTER THAN YESTERDAY
Check the 7 day stats to see how you have improved throughout the week.
JUST 5 MINUTES
Research shows that sitting for prolonged periods of time can have a real negative impact on your health. Proper ergonomics and regular breaks are really important if you want to avoid RSI. You can start out by taking a 5 minute break at least once an hour. Get Moving will remind you to get up and move, just set the timer and get moving when you hear the sound.

Latest reviews of Get Moving app for iPhone and iPad
I was pleased as I opened the app to see much info at a glance and how I performed (or not) in my daily activity. Then I tried to start the inactivity timer; it wont work without the location services enabled... A big error appears whenever I try to start the timer, telling me it cant work without location, yeah right. Ill have to not use the timer, I might as week find another app instead. Really good though, if the location service problem is corrected, I would use it probably every day!
Used to be a 5-star app, until the latest update turned it into a whole different app. Seriously, you dont have to be "Moves", theres a reason I dont use that app and do use this one. Any chance of adding the option to just turn all the extra stuff off and keep using the "youve been sitting too long" reminder part of it? At the very least, theres no reason at all to require my location to tell if the phone has moved in the last 30 minutes. None.
Thoroughly enjoyable and precise.
Crashes on opening from the first time I tried to use it. I want a refund! Such a waste. Wish I could give zero stars.
The app doesnt support zoomed display mode on the iPhone 6. First app Ive seen have a problem. Very disappointing.
