### 2/5 — Fairly useless if you take some time to finish a beverage

*2026-02-05*

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?

### 1/5 — Concept is great but not useful

*2025-11-17*

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.

### 5/5 — Straight forward and easy to use

*2025-08-08*

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.

### 2/5 — Annoying to use

*2025-07-31*

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.

### 4/5 — Good idea but could be better

*2025-03-01*

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

### 2/5 — Ok, but needs some improvements

*2024-10-28*

The app would be great if the standard drink increments could be adjusted by 0.1 and not 1.

### 3/5 — Why can’t I select 0.5 of a drink?

*2024-08-09*

Annoying you can’t put in half a drink or 0.5 of drinks. Other than that helpful

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the ap info

*2024-04-15*

Gets stuck with the keyboard up on weight/height

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the intro info

*2024-03-11*

The app opens on background info and then requires you to input weight and height but the number keyboard doesn’t disappear and blocks the next button so there is no way to move forward and access app. I hope they fix this as this would be a really useful app

### 2/5 — Can’t add more then 6 drinks?

*2023-12-31*

I had more then 6 drinks but I can’t add more? 
Also I put in that I had 6 drinks from 6pm, it’s now midnight and it’s saying my milk will be good in 5 minutes… but I had my last drink just 15 minutes ago??? So my milk wouldn’t be okay?? Shouldn’t it ask when my last drink was?
