Data tracking

Bring back the average drinks per day data point please. I would be more interested in the SobriScore if there were guidelines that explained what the number means but like a similar review said below, it’s just an opaque number. :/

Doesn’t work on iPhone 13 mini

The UI layout for the calendar view was broken for small screens for nearly a year. The latest app update finally fixed the layout issue, but unfortunately now it won’t accept any input when entering drink quantity. The app is unusable now.

Pretty bad QA for this app.

Bring back average drinks per day!

Great, easy drink tracker but a recent update took away the ability to see your average drinks per day, replaced by an opaque sobriety score with no form data. Really miss seeing that actual datapoint!

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind review!! A new "stats" header is planned with - among other data - the daily average number of drinks. It'll be probably released by the end of the month :)

Don’t force users to rate you

Otherwise I would give 5 stars

Well thought out

I like the latest update because it makes it easier to input the previous days drinks. I usually input the number of drinks on the day after, and now I don’t have to go back to the previous month on the 1st of the month. Plus, support is so fast! In addition to turning on family sharing as soon as I asked, the developer restored my account really quickly once I emailed him.

Love this app. It keeps me on track

This app has been a game changer for me. It’s no nonsense, simple way of tracking my drinking has kept me on track. There was a recent update recently and my data was lost but a simple email to Francois fixed it. He explained the reason why it happened and all my data was restored.

Liked

I loved this app but I changed phones and it won’t let me date back to when I started.

Response from developer

Hey there! I’m really sorry for that, there indeed was a bug with account migration! Could you please send me an email so I can restore it? Thank you!

Excellent Support

The app is well laid out, fun and easy to use. An app update wiped out my history but an email to the developer received a quick, friendly response and my account was restored.

I like how the recent update makes monthly history a tap away. But I do miss the community section and hope that makes a comeback in a future update.

Effective, Visual App for Developing Healthier Habit

Awesome app for keeping an eye on your drinking habits without feeling judged. Developer is friendly and responsive and quickly addressed an issue for me after a recent update. Thank you!

Great App

App recently updated and unfortunately my data was wiped, including my premium account; sent François an email and was all restored within a day.
Couldn’t be a nicer guy!

Does what it’s supposed to!

Good app. Developer got back to me quickly after recent change and fixed right away.

Great indie app with great support

I’ve been using Drylendar, an app designed to track alcohol consumption with seamless integration with Apple Health, since January 2023. After trying many apps, Drylendar perfectly suited my needs.

Recently, I encountered an issue where I lost some data after an app update. I promptly reached out to Drylendar on Twitter/X, and I received immediate and excellent support. The issue was resolved within a few minutes. It’s truly remarkable how responsive and helpful the developer was. Thank you!

Excellent App with Brilliant Support

I’ve been using Drylendar since January 2024 and it’s been a driving force in helping me control and monitor my social drinking. It’s easy to use and provides a great view of your history. I recently upgraded my phone - I reached out to Francois via contact us and he was brilliant - he transferred over my data to the new account. Very easy and straightforward. Would recommend.

My data is gone

I'm a lifetime license user, but after this update, all my data is gone. I also found out that the user kkrueger has the same issue. Could you please restore my progress as well?

Response from developer

Hi there :) If your account has not been restored yet could you please contact me (François) so I can do it? Thanks for your patience!

Dr

Have been using Drylander religiously since the start of this year. It has been a great help in my quest for healthiness! The light-touch gamification in the form of rewards is a great little incentive to keep me on the right path!

François is super responsive and has very quickly helped me when I’ve had questions and issues. Keep up the great work!

Has helped me immensely

I downloaded this app at the end of 2023 as a way to try and reduce my alcohol consumption. I’d previously done various stints of a few weeks here and there of not drinking and then fallen back into habits where I’d drink for 3 or 4 nights a week for a month and then stop again. There wasn’t any consistent approach however having this app has helped keep me disciplined and has helped me so much with keeping myself from falling into habits I don’t want. There’s something about just ticking off the days and seeing the number of days without alcohol climbing up. So far this year I’ve had two stints of 60+ days and now I’m up to 50+ and will see if I can make it to 100.
There was a recent update which caused my data to be lost but a quick message to Francois and he had it resolved in 24 hours. Sometimes IT issues happen so if this has impacted you, I’d suggest having a bit of patience and messaging the developer to get it fixed.

Great for building new habits

This is a great app to help you really track how much you drink. Quick and easy to use, so there's no excuse not keeping it up to date.

It's helped me ask the question if I really need a drink as I want to keep my streak continuing.

Highly recommend.

Shady

Developer gave out licenses as part of Indie App Santa and appears to have voided them in this most recent update. Combine that with the shady data selling and you’d probably better served to look elsewhere for an app that does the same thing.

Response from developer

Hi there :) If your account has not been restored yet could you please contact me (François) so I can do it? Thanks for your patience!

Progress GONE

I originally got a lifetime license from Indie App Santa. This new update has not only wiped out that license, but has also completely wiped out my progress :(
