Such a shame, paying for an app and then notifications don't work, which is the whole point of why I purchased. I'm so busy that I like reminders to drink water so I don't have to think about. All of sudden, I'm super thirsty and realised the app hasn't sent a notification for over 3 or so hours. I sent the issue to support and never heard back from them, even after a month. Waste. Do no pay
Was great... Until I paid to upgrade to Pro. So weirdly the app got worse after I paid to upgrade to the full pro version. Now it will randomly decide not to give me my notifications, sometimes for several hours at a time. Nothing else changed except the paid upgrades. I can't work out what else changed, devices are the same (watch and phone).
I'm still exploring the app under the free version. I have a daily goal set, I've got it set to remind me every 5 minutes to drink water, and because I don't drink and log it exactly back to back it keeps saying I'm "past schedule." But, the notification gets my attention again in 5 minutes to remind me I gotta stay hydrated so it's just gonna take time until I can get into the habit of drinking water but so far with just 1 day I've already drank more water than usual! So far so good!
The only water tracker I've actually stuck to! I love that, even with the free version, I can customise the colour, icon, and volume of the shortcuts and the reminders actually work in making me feel guilted into drinking. Visually very easy to read and I like the colour coding. I drink fruit tea so I have purple for tea and blue for water so I can see on the dial the proportions of each that make up my daily total.
Update: Problem was resolved with an update. Thanks! Original review: I just reinstalled and started using this app again about a week ago. I've been super excited about it and haven't missed my goal all week, in some cases going over. When I look back over the individual days, they are all correct but when I look at the statistics it's showing that I've only hit my goal one time. Very demotivating- especially since I'm using the paid version! Looking for another tracker.
It works pretty well but I wish the social features were more engaging. Something as simple as being able to get a notification when a friend completes their daily goal, or sharing the achievements with our friends in the app, for example, would definitely help with the peer support and friendly competition aspects of the app. As it is, I have to manually open the app and go to the friends tab to see how they're doing, and this is cumbersome enough that I basically almost never do it.
Nice app - it looks good, is easy to use, and is super helpful for helping me drink enough fluids through the day. Set your goal, then drink up. You can set up different volumes of liquid and drink types and favorite the ones you use most frequently. It has a bunch of presets built in that you can use or remove. I did encounter a bug where a drink would be added every time I opened the app, but the next day the bug was gone and I can't replicate it anymore. The ads are loud and pretty intrusive like all of these hydration apps. You pretty much need to pay to get rid of the ads if you want to enjoy using the app. It's worth a few bucks if you actually plan on using the app regularly.
Good app. Love the sync with Samsung Health. It would be nice to have the option to change app theme based on system theme so we don't have to do it manually everytime. Also the icon isn't all that good looking, it would be much better if you reverse the colours so the background is blue with the drops being white. Other than that would recommend the app anytime.
I love this app and use it so frequently that I bought the ad free version. Definitely the best app I've used to try and drink more water. I love that it links to my Fitbit profile so I can have everything in one place. Having said that, I've noticed one thing that annoys me. On the days where I've forgotten to log my drinks I would like to be able to manually just type it in from the today screen instead of clicking add and then clicking each unit and making it add up to the correct amount!
The new update is terrible. It's clear now that there are some weird translation issues, as some of the text doesn't really sound right/isn't what would normally be said in English. The previous version gave much more information (percentages, colors) and was easier to understand at a glance. Go back to the original!
I've enjoyed this app for many years and would always give it a 5 star rating, however, over the last few weeks it has lost all my data twice. As I've gone in to enter my drink I've been met with a "get started" screen. I'm so disappointed 😪. I'm now looking at different ones, unfortunately, unless this problem can be fixed 🤞 Thank you for your quick response. I'll try again as I feel lost without it
I actually liked the previous version better, it was easier to understand. I like the new option of reminders to refill your vessel. However I dont like the new interval reminders. I prefer how the old reminders would adjust as you drink through your day. Overall I'm still meeting my goals as someone who used to barely drink water so I guess it's doing its job.
This is exactly what I wanted in a water drinking app. Custom drink buttons and a quick add place in my notification bar so I don't have to open the app everytime. It syncs to my fitbit app as well as other features that I wasn't looking for but are nice! I went ahead and bought the pro version to unlock the notification buttons and get rid of ads. It would have been a nice app without, the ads weren't too invasive. Deffinately worth it to support the developers for such a well made app. Thanks!
Useful app, but ads interrupting basic flows are annoying. I understand limited features, and some ads in the free version, but forcing the user to see ads when using the most basic featuring (adding a new entry) was to much. As I liked the app bought the paid version, anyway. But there are some bugs: - after I use the widget to add a predefined entry, the next time I open the app from the icon, it will add a new entry again. - changing the time of an entry duplicates the entry on Google fit.
Worked great for about a week and then stopped receiving reminders on watch and phone. I went into the app to try to fix it. Uninstall/reinstalled and double-checked settings. Checked if it was connected to Samsung Health and it gave me a message that Samsung Health was not compatible with my phone. Samsung Health is on my phone and working, so clearly compatible. I'm guessing there may be a compatibility issue due to recent software update. Was great while it did work, though.
For a while this app was succeeding in getting me to drink more water. However, all of that ceased when the app stopped reminding me to drink. Furthermore, the app doesn't adjust with the weather, being pregnant, or breastfeeding. I've even tried upgrading to the "pro" version, and I can't see that it did me any good except removed the ads.
They made a new update to it where the notifications have annoying (like being worried) pep talk type things which cannot be turned off unless you turn off notifications. When you go to put the water in, when you tap the big circle it gives you more of that instead of being able to add in the water like you used to.
It would be great if you could set it to send notifications regardless of being ahead of schedule, that way one wouldn't lose on one just for being a few ml ahead. It would also be great if the intake added outside scheduled active hours of the last day wouldn't also be automatically added to the next day. EDIT 1: the two behaviours I mentioned don't have any controls in the settings. I have to change it to 2 stars because the notifications stopped completely after a few days of no interaction
I purchased an in-app upgrade to Pro in November. The last update has reverted the application to the Free version, but with a *lot* more ads than I remember. I have emailed the company repeatedly for assistance and have heard nothing back. I guess that since they've gotten my money, they don't care that I am having issues. I will be uninstalling it shortly.
If you like invasive advertising, this app might be good for you. It does it's job as a hydration reminder very well, but the ads are ridiculous. I added my water and an ad popped up. Even better, it started playing a video with sound, even though my phone was set to silent. Take out the ads when you enter your water log, and this app would be 5 stars in my book.
I got this app so I wouldn't have to set multiple reminders on my phone to remind me to drink. Despite having reminders set every 30 minutes during my 9 hour work shift, I get MAYBE 2-4 all day out of the 18 I should get. I emailed over 2 weeks ago and no response. The only good thing about this app is that it does sync with Samsung Health. However, the point of the app is to get your water in but how do you do that if you don't remember to drink and the faulty app doesn't remind you? 👎👎👎
