October 2, 2023

We've updated some information in line with the latest National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Alcohol Guidelines.

User reviews

Fairly useless if you take some time to finish a beverage

The app asks you to log when you started a drink, however doesn’t account for how long it takes an individual to finish a drink. For example, a glass of wine may take me an hour to finish. Surely the timer should begin from when the alcoholic drink has been completed, not started?

Concept is great but not useful

The app isn’t useful if you can only log a certain amount of drinks, stop making mums feel guilty for wanting a couple of drinks. It shouldn’t be capped, you should be able to enter 50 drinks in there if you wanted to.

Straight forward and easy to use

Good and easy to use App. Select and deselect when entering weight and height. Being able to change from 1 standard drink to 1.2 and such is great by holding down on the + button.

Annoying to use

The app only lets you log 6 drinks. This only leaves mums having to do the maths to calculate the safe feeding times themselves. Limiting it to 6 drinks also feels like I’m being told off for drinking more and creates a sense of shame. It is also annoying only being able to log 1 standard drink at a time…many drinks are 1.2 standard drinks, give or take, so I have to log more than I’m actually consuming, just to be safe.

Good idea but could be better

It only has increments of one standard drink at a time which is not very helpful. IE I had one bottle of Sommersby, which is 1.2 standard drinks, but the app can’t work this out. Collect to figure it out myself so the app is not
Very helpful as I still have to do the math myself
