Really helpful
Thanks to this amazing water intake reminder app
Disappointing app from lazy coders
I liked this app at first and paid for it to get rid of the ads. I liked the relatively plain interface, with no cutesy rewards or gamification. But as I got to know the app better, I grew disappointed in its many flaws. I soon found a better alternative, stopped using the Drink Water app, and canceled my subscription.
There are so many stupid decisions bundled together in this app. I can only imagine the poor working conditions that must exist at App Rover, the company that made Drink Water. It seems clear that the monetization of users is the top priority. But they're not even smart about how they do it.
Let’s talk about the ads.
This app is NSFW unless you pay for it — because the ads are screen-hogging animated noise makers that are difficult to dismiss. (When I registered Drink Water, I was “rewarded” with a full-screen ad for Candy Crush Saga, like a parting slap before they accepted my payment.)
The ads make Drink Water incompatible with older devices. I recommended Drink Water to a friend who needs to monitor water intake for medical reasons — but Drink Water kept misbehaving on her iPhone, most of the time showing her just a blank screen. As best I can tell, the full-screen ads were the problem.
