User reviews

Selfies

To whom it may concern: I have been drinking 8 glasses of water (1.89 liters) and the hydration level function of your app says I have low hydration.

Best type of photos

Think “Passport photo” when using this app. A straight on expressionless full face shot is best. I’ve used this app for a while now so my photos and corresponding feedback is integrated into the AI and I get amazingly accurate results.

Good but improvements could be made

I like the idea of this app, but I don’t know quite how it works; I find it fairly unreliable and inconsistent. I’ve found if my eyebrows are down, I’m magically dehydrated; up and I’m magically hydrated with little or a big difference in water intake in reality. Maybe suggest to the app user how to smile or not to smile to increase accuracy?

I love the reminders and sound notifications throughout the day! It definitely serves as a great reminder to drink water and track how much I drink.

I also get notifications to submit photos but the app only lets me access 90% of the screen on my iPhone 8. Maybe this is an issue for all users? Maybe not?

Overall, I think this free app is decent and has helped me remember to drink more water. However, there’s some improvements to be made. Once those happen, I’d be happy to change my rating. Thank you.
