True Hydro Homie
I just wanted to take so me time to share what has been working for me when it comes to staying motivated to drink water. We all know drinking water is good for you and we all feel better when we do it, but if you aren’t in the habit, new habits are hard.
Years ago my friend and I would have water drinking contests and whoever won would get to keep a water ribbon for the day that we made out of paper and blue highlighter. Unfortunately our careers took us to differently places so the water competitions came to an end with my hydrating; until recently. I recently found out I’m going through some health problems and was told drinking water can help with managing some symptoms. So, the hunt began. I started looking for an app that I could use to compete with my friends in drinking water. There were so many different ones, with different features and added functions, and ALL of them had a monthly fee - until I found Fluid.
Fluid is an app that only costs .99¢. It is simple, easy to use, AND ALLOWS YOU TO COMPETE WITH FRIENDS! The coolest part? You are competing by percentage of YOUR PERSONAL WATER INTAKE GOALS, so your friends of all shapes and sizes aren’t over or under drinking. Also, as added fun, you can change your profile picture!
I have been having the BEST time competing with my friends and I am CRUSHING my water intake now. Thank you to whoever made this app. I literally love it.
Stay Hydrated!

Hi Lindsay, we're very sorry to hear you've been unable to connect with your friends. Would you be open to giving it another try? If yes, please send us a screenshot of the error to support@faden.cloud, and we'll get back to you on priority. Hope to hear from you and get this sorted out quickly.
Fantastic
Great for keeping track with friends!
Customize your ‘quick add’ liquids to whatever size you’d like. (My small for example is 330 ml, size of a coke can, medium is half a liter — water bottle, and large is a liter)
Easily edit previous days
Streamlined auto recommendations based on weight and lifestyle
And my fav feature, and why I recommend this app:
CONNECTING WITH FRIENDS! Week long challenges, super clear to see how much they’ve had to drink. Couldn’t find another water tracking app that offered it!
Only caution is I don’t think this app took off so it may not be actively supported. It’s still great, especially for $1.40.
If I had one wishlist item it would be for Apple Watch compatibility. If I had two, a quick widget to see progress.

Many thanks for the feedback. We’re thrilled you like the app. Regarding support: It’s been a while since we updated the app but it is still actively supported. Cheers & stay hydrated!
Exactly what I needed
User can only remove the most recent ‘batch’ of water... out of curiosity I added over 100% of my goal so I could visualize how this would be represented...unfortunately I cannot undo the majority of this intake.
A quick fix would be to support *adding* a negative value manually. Or simply the ability to reset an entire day.
Separately, I would like to set the goals target for beyond its current maximum but I’m guessing there is some scientific principle guiding this limitation.
Overall, well built, user friendly, simple and intuitive. Looking forward to product enhancements!

Hey there. Thanks for your feedback! We're delighted that you enjoy using Fluid! Yes, the undo button only supports undoing the last operation. But there actually is a way to change the amount for any given day (including the current one). But it's, in fact, a bit hidden: Just open the history screen and then long-tap on the column for the day. This will allow you to change the amount for that day freely. Regarding the daily goal: Good point. The current maximum amount is a bit arbitrary. We will add a fully custom goal amount feature in the next update (coming soon). Stay healthy and hydrated!
