Stretch ist eine Art Timer. Alle 50 Minuten (kann man natürlich variieren) ertönt ein etwas nerviger Bimmelton und eine hübsche Asiatin ermuntert den hart arbeitenden Büroknecht, sich ein wenig zu bewegen. Dass keine simple Textnachricht erscheint, sondern die besagte junge Dame, ist theoretisch eine gute PR-Masche und erlaubt schickere Screenshots im App Store. Leider geht der Schuss zumindest teilweise nach hinten los. Die Videos werden offenbar aus dem Netz geladen (möglich wäre auch eine übereifrige Videokompression) und stocken grundsätzlich, wenn sie anfangen. D.h. statt von einer jungen Frau mit bezirzendem Augenaufschlag wird man von einer fleischfarbenen Suppe aus Blockartefakten begrüßt, die aussieht wie die Fußball-WM im ZDF Livestream. Bis man den "Ja, ich will mich jetzt stretchen"-Knopf gedrückt hat, fängt sich die Sache allerdings wieder, und die eigentlichen Anleitungs-Videos funktionieren.

Description
Stretch is an innovative break reminder app. Nowadays people spend more time working or playing on Mac but they dont know or dont pay attention on danger that come from their behaviours. Human bodies need to move, not sit in front of Mac all day. Moreover, most of apps that try to fix this problem is always boring, totally formal, lack of interest to pull users to use. So we introduce Stretch, a new way to make people take a break and do some stretches with easy-to-follow and attractive user interfaces.
Stretch app is built from ideas of easy-to-use and attractiveness. We use our complex logic to calculate the break time and notify users to break with a modern, beautiful, and non-intrusive break reminder. The app will then show some stretches that were random among almost 40 stretches in every part of body. With our high quality video and description, it would be easy to follow the stretches.
Stretch app also contains the information on Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) and also a pack of guidelines to set up your workspace to have a good ergonomics. Moreover, the app can show statistics of using Mac including mouse clicks, keyboard types, and also the length of computer usage.

Ganz nett, nicht mehr, nicht weniger
Für bessere Gesundheit und gute Laune!
In ungleichmäßigen Intervalen (die Zeit, wo ich nach der Meinung der App nicht viel gemacht habe wird nicht gezählt) schlägt eine sehr nette und hübsche Dame vor, 3 kleine Übungen gemeinsam zu machen, jede ca. 20-30 Sekunden. Wie viele davon die App-Lady kennt kann ich nicht sagen, nach 2 Tagen werde ich aber immer noch mit neuen Übungen "überrascht". Videos haben keinen Ton (was aber auch gut so ist da ich nicht alleine im Büro bin) und sind sehr professionell und hochwertig aufgenommen. Man macht also was für eigene Gesundheit und wird als Bonus mit guter Laune versorgt. Eine der besten und nützlichsten Apps, die ich in letzter Zeit gekauft habe.
Amazing concept but sexist
This app, as an idea, is amazing. However, it seems to assume that I am motivated by dolled up nymphs who stare sexily at me while wearing clothes that are most often not appropriate for professional workplaces. If Im anything but a straight dude, Im going to feel very uncomfortable using this application and it winds up doing the exact opposite of promoting my desire for a healthy body. If the app had a more professional set of videos, Id recommend it to everyone in the world. As such, it basically insults much of its potential audience.
Embaressed to use this
Its a great app but the videos are way over the top. Id be way to embaressed to use this in an office setting. The video model is just way over-the-top sexy / flirtatious. And her attire is inappropriate with very skimpy tops that bare most of her midrift. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the concept of showing actual videos, but something less suggestive and more generic would be great. Even it is was just some classy line illustrations instead of videos. Great app otherwise.
Excellent!
This app is excellent. The girl is beautiful and she is the reason why I take a break every time. :)
Best break reminder
Just see from developer site. Its cool so I bought it asap. Very beautiful. modern design. Cute and little sexy model! Love it!
Great app for break
Most of apps in market seems boring and not attractive. This app is opposite. Very enjoy when the reminder shows up.
