My Water: Daily Drink Tracker

You might not think this app is necessary but you'd be surprised how much you'd end up loving it and using it all the time. Most people don't drink enough water. I intermittently fast as the construct of my diet so staying super hydrated is paramount considering the toxins released needing to be flushed out. I also follow a plant based diet so the no soluble fibers are high in my diet making fluids important for more efficient digestion. I know it sounds ridiculous but it'll change you more than you'd think being able to track your water intake. On top of it all the biggest thing I've noticed is my expanded cognitive capacity and hyper focus. It's like I've discovered the limitless drug and it's been water all this time lol! You can knock me and continue on your current life's path, or you can try this and expand your horizons. Choice is yours.....

I really appreciate this app as it helps me easily log my fluid intake and send me notifications to reach my daily goal. But some of the different types of beverage choices can be misleading with how it calculates the water content. I drink a lot of green tea and sugar-free sports drinks on days that I workout. But both of these, while almost all water, are calculated as much less fluids than regular water. I wish this app had both the total amount of fluid intake along with the total water intake. Some days I find myself drinking 2-3 extra cups just to fill the meter when technically I’ve already met my total fluid intake goal. Additionally, editing my log of drinks isn’t as easy as it could be. Sometimes I just want to edit a drink’s volume but that would require having to delete it entirely and reentering the whole thing. Overall, the app is helpful as a daily reminder and has motivated me to stay hydrated, but there are some changes that could make it more informative and user friendly. All changes that seem reasonable for an app that you have to pay so much for to get the full as a lifestyle tool.

Something happened in January 2018 with this app because it quickly starting draining my apple watch series 3 battery. Ive had this app since purchasing my watch back in October and never had any issues. Then in January i noticed my watch battery was drained and dead in 8 hours. Now, im pretty pathetic with my apple watch, so far i have a sleep app and the my water app on it.. thats it! I called Apple complaining about my battery and they ran numerous tests which took up all my afternoons. I decided to one by one remove my two apps from my phone and do some testing of my own. Yes, the my water app failed... something on their end is causing my battery to die. Yes, i looked into notifications and settings and made adjustments.. still kills my watch in 8hrs if i have the app on my apple watch. Please look into this and fix. This app is part of the reason i invested in the apple watch and at $450 dollars its a bit investment for me. Thank you

I've been using this app for almost a week and I have already become much more aware of how much I drink each day. Before the app, I tended to drink a cup of coffee, energy water, club soda, and an occasional glass of wine. I would rarely drink plain water. What is great about this app is it not only reminds you to hydrate; it also motivates you to drink more WATER. Assuming you are being honest with yourself (and it's your body; why wouldn't you be?), the app will adjust the amount of water intake based on the type of drink you enter. For example, my 10-oz daily cup of coffee equates to only 8 ounces of water, due to the caffeine content. My 20-oz energy water only adds 8 ounces to my daily water count. 😔 So I've become much more mindful about what I drink — not just how much. 😎

Okay so I personally loved this app at first to help me be little healthier, but I get the app makers want money so they make you buy the other drink options which is unfair. I really think if they truly have good intentions on allowing people to make the most of their lives and live healthier they should not make the extra drinks cost more. Another thing was that I wish the app was more interactive. It is an pretty basic, but I love how the app allows you to move the water its a very unique feature. I do wish the app was more interactive, but in retro spect it does what it was created to do. I think if the app makers want to make the app more fun and want to get more people to download their app they would make it so you can compete with your friends or something to that effect. I did like the app just it could be better.
