Appreciate you 🫶

He spared no expense

A truly wonderful app. I’ve had quite a few attempts at sobriety and Drynosaur is the most enjoyable tool I’ve found in my attempts.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Ger! I’m delighted Drynosaur has made your journey a little more enjoyable. It means a lot as a solo dev. Life finds a way! 🦖 Cheers, Gareth

It’s not just the Drynosaur

I wanted an app to help with not just my drinking, but a distraction from drinking.
The creator included a mini game that is similar to Tetris, which has proven to help people with PTSD and stress.
I tend to drink because I have both of those things prevalent in my life.

The app is designed fairly minimal, with daily check ins and opportunities to earn widgets for your phone, games to play for currency in the game and you also get to watch your Dino grow through sobriety!

Thank you, this was really lovely to read. I’m really glad the games and little distractions in Drynosaur have been helpful for you, especially when things feel stressful. It means a lot to hear that the app is helping in more ways than just tracking alcohol-free days. Cheers, Gareth

I love this app, and the developer was super helpful when I reached out.

Love it BUT

I think this is a phenomenal idea and is implemented wonderfully, I only wish there was a way to record previous sobriety, i just downloaded today but I have almost 2 years and would like if the app reflected that.

Amending because the creator quickly got back to me to show me that the app already has this feature. Huge props to a solo dev out here doing more work than entire organizations of people. You rock man keep it up.

No, you rock! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, it means a lot to me. Cheers, Gareth

Wonderful little app 🌟

Really like this app, it’s adorable and more importantly I have had more success with this than so many other expensive apps/ useless programs in the past.
App creator was also really kind & helpful when I reached out with a minor issue.
Thank you for creating this, it’s so useful, fun & awesome! *****

Free but not free

What’s the point in downloading a listed “free” app when it’s not and completely blocks you from doing anything once you’ve set everything up pointless waste of my time

Love!

Drynosaur is the only alcohol tracking app I’ve actually been able to stick with and use nearly every day - I’ve used my earned coins to buy some widgets so I use it more frequently now that I can see it on my Home Screen. I like the daily check-ins and feeds. The information is really helpful and it’s just so cute - reminds me of my Giga pets or Tamagotchi’s as a kid.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m really glad Drynosaur has become part of your routine. Feedback like this makes all the time I’ve put into the app worth it. Cheers, Gareth

Excellent

I found this app very helpful and cute. Also the games that allow you to get the coins for the widgets is very helpful.

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you’re finding Drynosaur helpful and enjoying the games too :) Gareth

$9.99 a WEEK? Hell naw.

It’s a great concept and honestly would be a helpful tool, but $40 a month is bananas! Kind of a shame to be honest.

Helped me get sober

I was having a problem with multiple different substances and vices for years. I'd occasionally having a couple months kinda clean from just white knuckling. I found this app randomly on instagram & instantly downloaded it. It helped immensely for the first two weeks then I started going to NA to continue to support my recovery. I'm currently living in sober living (which I love!), have an amazing group of sober friends and almost at 5 months clean. I just got a second drynosaur in the game that I'm specifically going to use for my adult entertainment addiction that I want to kick. I never leave reviews for anything, but this app was the catalyst that changed my life immensely. The differences are day and night!! I can't recommend this enough & I tell all my friends wanting to get sober about this app:) Thank you, Gareth!!

Massive congrats on your sobriety! That takes serious work, and the credit is all yours. I’m so glad Drynosaur could play a small part in getting you started, and it’s brilliant to hear NA and sober living are working for you. Best of luck with Dryno number two! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Feedback like this is what keeps me going :) Gareth

Doesn’t work

Hi friedgrits, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm delighted you're enjoying Drynosaur. It's great to hear the daily check-ins are helping, and that you've found the games relaxing when you need a distraction or a bit of calm. I'm also really grateful that you decided to stick around for the year. As a solo developer, support like that allows me to keep improving the app and adding new features. Congratulations on staying AF, and I wish you all the best on your journey. Gareth

Oh so its not free

Why not just charge to download the app or say theres no free version before i download and get started and then find out i have to pay a subscription. Also, the very first question it asks you is, “do you drink often?”, and then only option is to say yes. Huh? Lol seems like itd be a nice fun sober tracker but wish there was a free version or was more clear about there not being one.

Hi Krab67, The App Store listing shows “In-App Purchases” directly beneath the download button, and the description also mentions that a subscription is required, so this information is available before downloading. I’m a solo developer, and the subscription helps fund the ongoing art, development, writing, and design that go into creating and improving the app. If you think it’d be a nice fun sober tracker, give it a shot. I update Drynosaur regularly and love hearing what users want to see in the app. Gareth

Hi Marie, thanks for the review! Day 5 is just the beginning, keep it up! Feel free to drop me a line anytime - gareth@drynosaur.com, I’d love to hear how you’re getting on :)

Waste of time until they obligate you to pay for it

Basically they could just say that EVERY FEATURE is paid on the app.
But instead of advertising it on the beginning, they make a bunch of questions about your habits and goals, then make you create a pet (choose between 3 basics dinosaurs and name it)... then you gotta pay 5$ per week or 20$ per year. No free features at all. They are just like all the others moneysuckers apps who just want your money and that's all.
There's way better apps to help you keep sober and its for free, so go search for it... otherwise just keep drinking instead of wasting money on it lol

Hi Yohan, I want to clear up a few things: I’m a solo developer building Drynosaur entirely on my own. The pixel art, animations, design, writing, and development all take time. The subscription supports that, and my hope is to eventually work on Drynosaur full time. An app like this cannot be built, maintained, and improved long term without a sustainable way to support it. The App Store clearly states there are in-app purchases before you download the app, and the subscription is mentioned in the app’s description. The app is not advertised as free anywhere. If you prefer free alternatives, that’s completely fine, but saying there are better apps than this one and giving it 1 star when you haven’t used it is a strange conclusion to draw. Advising people who are trying to track their sobriety to “just keep drinking” probably isn’t the most helpful note to end on either. Gareth
