Tap Water Stations & Hydration User Reviews

Top reviews

I just want to find a water station.

Why does it open up to hydration data?

It doesn’t seem to move off the loading page?

Can’t get the app to open

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for letting us know. Could you please confirm which phone model you're on?

Good idea...

Needs lots more locations listed. Only seems to allow 'owners' of water to list locations which will result in locations being added very slowly to platform. And vastly under representing available drinking water sources. Too bad but I guess that's the business model.

Update 7/2022: they say they've updated their platform by adding thousands of fountains but most parks and other mini fountains in my County are still not listed.

Tap water

Tried it in Denmark and all over Sweden. No places listed. Complete waste of money.

Note to developers. This is not my review. Trevor Howard

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Tap has been updated with over 200,000 stations which includes public drinking fountains. This includes the ability to add stations in Denmark and Sweden. The app is free, so how could it be a waste of money?

Not tecogmended, Move on, Suspicious use of data.

I was testing out apps to help homeless find water. They want way too much information from individuals already living in severe distress. Not very humane to with hold water for personal information

Response from developer

The only information Tap collects for the iOS app is an email address and name, which is also disclosed by Apple. Anyone can visit www.findtap.com without any personal information to find places to refill. We do not with hold water for personal information as we do not dispense water.

Fast food

Literally was all fast food places

Not an international app

This app assumes that any restaurant with counter service is happy to refill anyone’s grubby water bottle (laughably naive) and doesn’t bother to list the public drinking fountains in even the very biggest European rail stations. Waste of phone space.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Tap has been updated with over 200,000 stations which includes public drinking fountains. This includes the ability to add stations, like in public rail stations.

Sydney has taps

Just an update to let everyone know there ARE now Aussie taps listed. At least in Sydney. There are probably a few missing (I noticed one in my local area) and there seem to be a few duplicates but at least it’s a start! The more people use it the better it will become.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Tap has been updated with over 200,000 stations which includes public drinking fountains and the ability to add stations in Australia.

No public drinking fountains

Wanted this for when I go biking or running. This app doesn’t include the hundreds of public drinking fountains all over the city. Thus would be fine if there was a way to suggest/verify refill locations as a user, but there isn’t. Not very useful at all at the moment since it only has a handful of businesses signed up. Might check back in another year.

Doesn’t work

Installed it while in Italy - no results which was disappointing given that we were in major cities. Great idea, wanted it to work well.
