Walk Reminder : A Companion App for Microsoft Band to Make You Walk Often

I have been an avid user of Fitbit, and one that I miss all the time is a reminder from the App, to tell me that I am walking less these days. While this feature is missing in Microsoft Band as well, A third part app for Microsoft Band is here to help.

Named as Walk Reminder, the app connects with your band and keep tracks on how active you been. If your steps get low or your activity is low, it will send a reminder to your band to remind you of that. This is an excellent solution for those like us who sit and work a lot.
