This app encourages people to get on their feet and stop sitting. Many people spend too much time sitting stationary at their desks, resulting in health problems and a sense of isolation. The Hotseat app addresses these issues in a number of ways.
Hotseat delivers activity through encouraging short social breaks. It also lets you play with your friends and families, so you can interact with more than just your fellow employees. Along with a pedometer, the app helps you promote activity by providing a platform to challenge other users to get up and do different daily games. You can track your activity, sync it to your iCal and receive persistent notifications if you need to stop sitting too.
