Water Time Tracker & Reminder

Decent features but contains bugs (Some of which are purely visual and can be fixed by clearing cache and force-closing it) and unable to sync with Google Fit (requires you to use less secure apps in order to use the Google Fit Sync integration. But unfortunately, if you use any kind of two-factor authentication methods, you are unable to use this). Calculate automatically does not seem to work more than once. Fix = more inclined to buy premium. A WearOS (watch) companion app would be nice too.

11/8/18 Update: after a random update this app no longer works (doesn't notify anymore). I've been using it for over a year, so now I've taught myself to have a certain amount per day. I will be uninstalling unless you bring back the lite version. Please bring back watertime lite!!! I only use the water function, not coffee or juice or whatever because I try to mostly have water. The lite version takes up much less space!

Efficient Simplicity! This app has a simple user interface, and is easy to navigate. The app allows for the user to customize their personal stats, when/how notifications will arrive, and offers integratiin with Google Fit. There are upgrade options that cost money, however they are not necessary to the app`s functionality. There is only one small downside; the units of measurement arent the common US standard ones, but it is simple to convert by using Google Chrome Searchbox.

The reminder notifications duplicate (so I get two simultaneously) and the reminders themselves can cause frustration. Maybe give me some great facts on how your body benefits from water or tell me how many Oz to my goal rather than asking me if I'm listening. I do like that you can create drinks that might not fall under coffee, tea, or water. I also enjoy the overall simplicity. Basically just a click of a button. Don't care for the ads, but also not paying for the app in order to remove them.

Super easy to use. I love that you can set the frequency of the reminder, but also if you have a day that you are drinking regularly, you have the option to remind you less often automatically. Much easier than other apps I've used, and the ads don't pop up every time you chnage screens. They're tucked away at the top, which is nice. Also, you can change the drink you record and they don't all have the same effect. It reflects the effects of that drink. Bonus, it's nowhere near a hassle to delete an entry if you click the wrong one. And you don't have to delete everything. You can just delete the one. Love it. Five stars.

I love this app so far. I love that you can adjust when you get notifications which is super helpful for third shifter like myself who start their day in the evening. Also like the other drink options because they do count or make a difference. I have to say though there is soda and energy drinks but not wine. And although you can add more it's kinda hard to guess the degree of hydration which could give you a very inaccurate measure. Overall it does make you conscious of what we are drinking.

this is a really cute app but it is a lot less functional than others like it. the screen opens very slowly, so if you are entering data through the app itself, it isn't very user-friendly as you do this many times a day. The free version doesn't appear to have widgets enabled at all, so this is your only option. And in the paid version, you cannot select the type or size of drink: if you only drink say 8 oz of water at a time, this works fine, I think most ppl drink other things in diff sizes.

Could be improved, but overall a good app. *Edit* Sure! It would be great to see a way to input and edit past drinks, adjusting the time and date (I sometimes forget to add the water at the time I drink it and am sad to be unable to properly track it). Also, maybe a pie chart to see the percentage of each drink (when tracking more than just water) for each day or week or month... This would be great to help anyone see their progress who may be trying to switch from less healthy drinks to water.

Love this app! Unlike other apps, this tracks other beverages, e.g. tea, milk, coffee, juice, as well as water. It is easy to use, and the cute graphics actually encourage me to drink more water and to record my intake. If you don't like the water drop assistant, there are a few others to choose from. (But why wouldn't you like the water drop?!) Oh and it actually calculates from your body weight how much water you personally need to drink to stay properly hydrated; I've seen other apps that were nothing more than a counter.

I installed this app about 3 years ago, while trying to lose weight. (I did lose 43 lbs. and have kept it off.) The app is easy to use. I have never had any problems with it. I added the upgrade when it was offered at a special price, and like the additional drink choices and avatars. I also like that personalized drink choices can be added, i.e., lemonade, seltzer, etc. It has been very helpful, and I currently have a record of 483 days of meeting the hydration goal. I only wish there was an option to remove some of the drink choices that I will never use, Kombucha, Matcha, Kvass, etc.

Extremely easy to set up and use. Gives MANY options on water sizes from glass cups to all variants on bottles. Also includes options for milk, tea, coffee, and juice in the free part of the app. Yes, there are ads; but hardly intrusive. One thing I WOULD change, would be a greater allowance for time. Max time that it gives alerts for is 2 hours. Which is fine, but I work as a stocker for a retail store, and my break is 3 hours into working. So I end up having to skip 2 of my "alerts."

Very awesome app!!! I've noticed a difference with myself in just 3 days!! I have my water alarm set to go off every 30 mins and all I have to do is take a little sip. It adds up and I'm already naturally building up my water intake. The cat friends are cute, but I'm through and through a dog person. A few options for pet cuties would be awesome, but not necessary. Where do I go if I have questions or need help? I've been trying to figure out what the lower number on the weekly graph means.

I love this. I set the reminder with a really short and simple sound, and it's really not intrusive or annoying, and there are options for how often it reminds you to drink water. I also really love the little characters, even though you have to pay to have more than one - but paying also gets rid of ads, and it's very cheap for something I'm using all the time. It's all priced very fairly. There are also options for tracking juice, coffee, tea, and milk, and it takes into account how caffeine affects you depending on how often you drink it. My only complaint is that there aren't more options to track other liquids, especially diet soda, but also almond milk, beer, wine, etc, as I'm sure they could tell me exactly how any of those might affect my hydration. Update 9/16: they have added a feature, which I think you have to pay for which I think is worth it anyway, to add your own liquids to track, on top of the liquids they've added themselves. I took a long break from the app because I didn't think I needed it anymore, but then I totally fell back into old dehydration habits. It's even more useful than before, with the added liquids and the ability to add your own. Since I live in a desert, I've also decided to utilize the feature that let's you set your own water goals, as the goals they set we're not adequate for my climate. I still also believe that the prices are exactly fair, and that it would be worth anyone's while to use this app and pay for many of it's most useful features according to one's needs. My only and continuing critique is that they still don't have enough liquids for which they've calculated hydration values, but that may be an unreachable horizon. Still, though, I hope they continue to improve.

I really like this app. Stars docked for 2 reasons - 1) would like to be able to choose/rearrange which drinks are shown in the swipe left/right screens (I don't drink tea so having it there is useless, and I have to go into the full showcase to log milk) and 2) the app crashes when I try to create a custom drink. Fix these two things and it will be five stars!

Love this app. Easy to use. Has choices of different drinks to select in customizable sizes, while it adds to the total water by persentage of hydration related to that drink. If entery is made in error it can be edeted. It will tell you how much water you need to drink per day by your weight, but you can also customize that. This app is NOT intrusive like some other ones with bunch of adds or pushing to leave review. Lots of choices for notification sound. And finally, that little cute face shows different degrees of sadness when you are not drinking enough. However, as soon as you are back on track the face turns into a happy one. It's almost like a little cute kid you don't want to dissapoint. 😉

This app is fun and keeps me on task with staying hydrated. I'm horrible at remembering to drink often, but the cute characters on Water Time make it fun without being intrusive with ads or too-frequent reminders. I like that I can customize the type of hydration and interval for reminders as well, it makes it easy to keep up with my activity level and events. A great app overall both free and paid versions.

Could be more useful and don't expect replies from support. I used the app for several weeks and noticed that I barely used the app default drink options, requiring significantly more steps to record anything. I reached out to support five months ago to ask if there was something I was missing; and never heard back. Now the annoyances at the interface limitations have exceeded the usefulness and enjoyment I first had using the app. I wish I hadn't bought the full version of the app.
