Frequently asked questions

Read the answers to frequently asked questions and get started with the app without any worries.

🎁 How can I start MotiMove for free?

Super easy: download the app and get started right away. You don’t need an account and you can use MotiMove for free for as long as you want.

👑 How can I cancel Premium?

Your Premium subscription will renew automatically unless you cancel:

  1. Pick up the phone on which MotiMove is installed.
  2. On an iPhone, go to Settings. On a Samsung or other Android, go to the Google Play Store.
  3. Tap your profile photo or your name at the top.
  4. Go to Subscriptions.
  5. Select MotiMove and cancel.

After canceling, you’ll keep Premium until the end of the current period. Then you’ll automatically switch to the free version of MotiMove. In your subscription overview, you can always see when Premium ends or renews.

⌚ How do I connect my smartwatch?

You can automatically add all workouts you record via your smartwatch to MotiMove. 

The steps from the step counter are not added. This is because it also counts every small step you take at home, for example, and this does not count as a full activity. A walk that you record as a workout does count.

In Apple Health or Google Fit, you can turn the smartwatch connection with MotiMove on and off.

🥼 Which healthcare providers recommend MotiMove?

MotiMove was conceived and developed at Kliniek ViaSana, a large orthopedic center in the Netherlands. The health insurer VGZ helped in the development of the app. Are you a healthcare professional and would you like to offer MotiMove to your patients as well? Send an email to info@motimove.com.

🧪 Does MotiMove comply with medical guidelines?

MotiMove is based on scientific insights and the general physical activity guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO). The exercises were developed in collaboration with the physical therapists at FysioSupport, who bring extensive expertise in physical activity for those experiencing discomfort. MotiMove is recommended by health insurer VGZ and the orthopaedic clinic ViaSana, among others.

MotiMove is a general lifestyle and exercise aid designed to help you build and maintain an active daily routine. Many standard fitness apps are too intense if your physical capacity is limited; MotiMove provides manageable exercises to help you stay active in a responsible way.

Please note: MotiMove is a wellness app and is explicitly not a medical application or medical device. The app does not provide personalized medical or treatment advice; it only offers general tips and information about physical activity and pain. MotiMove does not diagnose conditions and is never a substitute for advice or treatment from a doctor, physical therapist, or other healthcare provider.

The app operates completely independently of any medical treatment: MotiMove is not connected to electronic health records (EHR), and healthcare providers have no access to the data you enter into the app.
