Water Tracker: WaterMinder App Reviews

After switching from Fitbit to the Apple Watch, I wanted an app which could track my water intake. This app is an attractive improvement over what I had with Fitbit. Very satisfied!

This is only my second day using this app but already I can say it is clearly the best I have ever tried, and Ive tried at least half a dozen of them. From cute apps more like a kids game than a health oriented app to non intuitive apps obviously designed by techies with no understanding of interface design, they all had glaring weaknesses. But this one has everything I need. First, the app icon can carry a notification sub icon number showing either the total volume already drunk (or remaining to be drunk) or the corresponding percentages. I find this is a helpful reminder to keep drinking! Then I can choose from preset volumes for each drink or create my own (for instance 187ml for a quarter bottle of wine). The visual representation of the current total is cute but a little over the top--a figure with water sloshing around in it and gradually filling the image! Since I sometimes forget to add a volume when I drink it, it is convenient to be able to go back easily and quickly to add the entry correction. I dont care much for the "achievement" awards but they do no harm and I suppose they might motivate someone... I also quite like the history view that shows the totals for the current day and the past week or month. All in all its a very well designed app, and its hard to imagine any desirable improvements. I do have one, however. No one (certainly not me) drinks only water. It would be good to be able to choose icons that represent other drinks (tea, coffee, fruit juice, beer, wine and spirits). Given that, especially if the volume totals for these other drinks were corrected for their actual water content, this really would be the hydration app to rule them all. Added March 10, 2017. You can now add other drinks, clearly identified by logos, and actually their estimated water content is added, calculated from the volume of the drink. For instance, "spirits" seems to assume that the liquor is a whisky or brandy at about 43% by volume--very reasonable. Everything from fruit juices through sports drinks to wine and beer are accommodated. I could ask for nothing more. This really is the best app for maintaining high water intake!

This WaterMinder app is one of the best application Ive ever had to use for health purpose. Recommend everyone who cares for his/her health. Besides the specifications app has, I would like to have some more options, such as adding sparkling mineral water and some other kind of hydrating fluids and also herbal teas. Im sure that app will be improved for the coming days. Thanks for the developers.

UPDATE THE APP !

Simple and effective :)

And also worst glance Ive ever seen on the Watch

Helped me a lot - I highly recommend it for everyone who has problems with building good habits ?

Very good! For those who want to monitor the amount of water you drink per day!

This app is better than its analogues, but it has one big fail: coffee and tea is not refilling your water balance. It dehydrates, not rehydrates. That is why you cant use this app as a right solution to control your water balance.

Awesome application. Get it with free giveaway. Do not regret. If I know, I would buy it. Thank ;)

Very nice app. Too bad that the counter on the Badge Icon is updated only when the intake is input opening the app and not from the home screen. Pls fix it.

Excellent app that really helps you get your daily water intake, specially if you easily forget to drink enough during work.

App ben pensata ed efficace

Best app to keep u hydrated ❤️

Helpful app. Needed. You can be smart and still not drink enough. This app should be used by more people. Awesome tool and the widget feature is awesome. Needs an update though, its a little touchy sometimes.

This is such a great app! It tells me how much water I should be drinking and always reminds me to drink water!

I think this app is very wonderful because of all the information it gives however, the app needs to be improved for those who have to use voiceover due to having a visual impairment or who are totally blind. I hope that the next update, will fix these issues so people such as myself who are blind and visually impaired will get our moneys worth and live a healthier life.

A great way to remind you to stay hydrated throughout the day. Set your own goal or answer a few questions and the app will determine how much your daily intake should be.

Its easy to use and really keeps me drinking water as Im supposed to. What I would love to see though, is that things like coffee to not add towards the water goal or even cause it to increase a little bit. Also, Im a big soda drinker, so I wouldnt mind some scolding for drinking too much of it. Other than that, the app really works!

I have really enjoyed using this app over the past few weeks. Definitely has helped me with getting more water into my system. I love the daily reminders and the water tracking. I would recommend this to others who forget to drink water. I have discovered that my energy level has increased since using this water app.
