Walk me up! Alarm Clock for Android forces you to walk around to stop the alarm
I'm not evaluating unique alarm clock apps for Android even though it may seem that I do right now. I reviewed Puzzle Alarm Clock two days ago which forced you to solve puzzles to turn off the alarm. Today, it is Walk me up! Alarm Clock which uses a different kind of activity to prove that you are really awake before it turns off the alarm.
It basically forces you to walk a certain amount of steps instead of having to solve puzzles. Walking may indeed be easier than having to solve puzzles when you are still sleepy and maybe even blinded by the bright display of the Android device. The idea here is to get you out of bed when the alarm rings, and what better way of achieving that goal than to link the alarm to a certain number of steps that you have to walk.
The app displays all current alarms on start, each with the set time, days, and whether it is active or not. You can tap on any alarm here to modify its settings, or use the new alarm or quick alarm options to set new alarms. The quick alarm feature enables you to add an alarm for the next 1 minute to 6 hour period in two clicks.
Add new alarm on the other hand creates scheduled alarms. Here you can set the time and weekdays that you want the alarm to be active, as well as the ringtone or song and whether you want the phone to vibrate as well.
You may want to open the settings of the app before you configure your first custom alarm. Here you can not only set the number of steps that you need to walk to dismiss the alarm, but also disable the snooze button, set the snooze duration, disable voice assistance (which counts the steps for you), and the step and shake sensitivity. There is no upper limit in regards to the steps, setting the app to 10999 steps before it turns off the alarm worked well for example. I would not recommend you to set it that way though, unless you want to play a prank on a family member or friend.
The application may come in handy if you have troubles getting up in the morning. Between this app and the puzzle alarm app, you have enough options to make sure you get out of bed when the alarm rings.

Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
