Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an app that provides a similar function to my FitBit. I'm specifically looking for an app that reminds me to move every hour AND asks me to do 250 steps. I know the built in activity app reminds you to move every hour, but to my knowledge it doesn't tell you to move for 250 steps.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
 
The standard Apple Activity app will remind you to stand every hour. If I get that reminder I usually get up from my desk and walk a bit (easily 250 steps). There are also the Activity Progress updates you can set for every 2, 4, 8 hours, but I just prefer to look at the rings on my watch to get a visual idea of where I'm at.

I used to have a Fitbit and I do remember that the app was very well done, and the reminders and achievement badges were often entertaining. There are many third party apps that probably do something similar.
