Standland

After reading reviews about this app years ago, I downloaded it with high hopes. Within weeks, I was bored and frustrated. The most simple interaction is difficult — trying to tap to collect the gems requires a small touch target precision, assuming the little characters (aka gemmys) are in sight. If they aren’t, you need to swirl around the “world” in search did them. The action is dizzying and makes me feel nauseated. There’s no way to collect them all at once, nor is there a way to automatically collect them daily. You have to open the app every single day to collect gems. What’s worse is that you need to open the app after you’ve met your goal, else you don’t get all the gems. The constant need to interact is annoying enough without flaws…but…flawed it is. Whatever it registers as a stand doesn’t match what apple registers as a stand. To make matters worse, when I just traveled/changed time zones, it took away credit for a stand. The stand it removed wasn’t even on the day I traveled & when the time zone changed, which is what I would have expected. This wrecked my stand streak and forced me to lose one of the challenges. As other reviewers have mentioned, the developers haven’t bothered to add new levels, challenges, or characters. The app already doesn’t motivate me — knowing that there’s a finite number of tasks doesn’t help. The first time I downloaded this app, it lasted a couple of months. Then I noticed that I wasn’t opening it any more, so I deleted it. After a year or more, I forgot how frustrating it was and fell for the cuteness factor a second time. Now, after another month with the app, I’m so frustrated by the broken streak (from the time zone change) that I’m considering deleting it again.

As another reviewer stated “what more can a girl ask for” I’ve only had this app for a week but I’m really liking it,... it’s cute gives you challenges rewards etc. It has actually made me want to make sure I stand/move every hour. I’m normally quite active,but at times (we all get lazy) sit and forget to make sure we stand to get credit for it.. I also agree with another reviewer that if your charging your watch or had to take it off for one reason or another there should be a place to be able to put in a stand hour maybe once or even twice Incase there was an excusable time you couldn’t wear your watch.... But other than that I think it’s a great app and I’m looking forward to a long relationship with it ( unless something changes I don’t like) it is a Great Fantasy Land try it out!!!

What more could a girl ask for! And a cute fantasy background to boot... oh yeah and it's also able to give you a weekly summary of your progress too. It's been hard to get myself to do the Dr. recommended "stand up every half an hour and walk around" but this app is too cute and who can resist diamonds as a reward?!! I recently downloaded the Halloween land and I’m still using it with the ghostly gemmies even though it’s November now because it’s not quite time for the Christmas land! Any chance for turkey gemmies or companion? Shout out for the Augmented reality, SUCH a fun feature I love making diamonds and sparkly light every where. ✨💎🤗💖💕
