Water Reminder - Daily Tracker

After getting a diagnosis from an ER visit of dehydration from feeling dizzy and having heart palpitations, my kids demanded that I drink more water. I’ve always had difficulty doing that, so they recommended I try using a water app with a reminder to drink and keep tabs on my ingested amounts during each day. I checked out several such apps and found this the easiest to use plus the reminder part keeps me in track! I’ve only been using it for 10 days, but it has made a big difference in my behavior with fluid consumption. I recommend it highly. Although I plan to check out with my family physician the true requisite amounts for daily fluid intake, this app bases it total daily amount in ones height weight and gender. The ER doc said to try to drink 64 oz daily. This app suggests 55 minimum for me...which is an easier goal. I’ve most often surpassed that. But it is an easier “mountain to climb” when the minimum isn’t so tough to get to.

This app is great, ads aren't intrusive so for a free app, it really does the job. Works with my apple watch so the pop up is awesome. I just wish that you could remove a drink in the list because at first I thought that the "plus" sign meant that was how you added your water consumption and now I have a bunch of waters at the bottom before I realized that you just tap the water (or coffee!) to update the consumption for the day. Please please please update to remove our own goofs or identify that drink is already there and doesn't need to be added again. Thank you for a great app!!

So far, I am really enjoying this app. I have tried a few of the other water reminder apps in the store, but some of them have too many features and some of them have too few. I wanted something that would track water as well as other beverages as some items can actually reduce your hydration. This app was definitely worth the in app purchase to get the additional beverages. The only areas that I would like to see improved would be 1) a widget to update my beverages without having open the app, and 2) the ability to edit previous days. Sometimes when I’m out at night I forget track, and there’s no way that I can see to update that information. I reached out to the developers about two weeks ago and have not heard back. That’s also disappointing. Other than that, the app itself is great!

I like the simplicity of this app, it’s pretty easy to use, as water reminder apps go. Simplicity is high on my list of priorities. I gave the app 2 stars for that. But you know what else is high on that list? Accuracy. And this app is lacking that big time. For the life of me I can’t figure out how this app is calculating total daily amount of fluids. Their percentage calculation is pretty suspect too. Example: my daily goal is 100 ounces. As of right now, I’ve consumed 94 ounces of fluids today. But the app is telling me I’ve only had 86 ounces. Which apparently is 84% of 100 ounces. Math was never my strong suit, but even I can add up a few simple numbers and divide by 100. But the point is that I shouldn’t have to do that math in my head because I have an app that’s supposed to do it for me. This is a deal breaker for me. I have a chronic illness that requires me to drink a certain amount of fluids every day and it’s very important that I not fall short of that goal. I also use fluid intake data to help my doctors determine adjustments to medications. I emailed the developers over a week ago and haven’t gotten a response nor has the issue been resolved. So I’m back to square one looking for a water reminder that actually works.

This app is polished and has nice integration with the Health app and decent range of features. What I’m missing is the ability to add something to a previous day. I literally went to log my final drink of the day and couldn’t because it was 12:01. No way to edit on previous days. Another of the final contestants (of water tracking apps) is also tracking additional things like caffeine which I think is helpful. But it has the same flaw as this one (no adding to previous days) and isn’t quite as polished. Haven’t decided yet if I’m keeping this one ongoing but it has promise at least. Would really like to see an update.
