THEY SAY ABOUT US

"I lost track of my water intake throughout the day, and this is the perfect way to keep up with it. I love the way you can customise it"

"Wouldn't have thought it would change my behaviour so much, but it has. The gasification of drinking water... Who's have thought? And competing daily with my husband always helps!"

"I started looking for water intake apps because I had a kidney stone. This one is excellent and the best I found! I love the simple design and it is very easy to use. You can customise 2 different cup sized and there is a calendar that tracks your progress. Oh and the tracker now shows you if you drank more than your goal, although it doesn't show it on the calendar. My favourite part is the reminders. You can tell it during what times you want to be reminded and also how often. And all of this is free! Really excellent app and recommended for everyone!"

### 3/5 — Needs improvements, but solid

*2023-01-09, version 1.17.0*

Been looking for a simple water tracking app and this seems to be it, however I’m not sure the developer support this app anymore as the last update a year ago.

There seems to be an issue with your water intake being reset every day. Multiple times I go to track in the morning and it still has the volume from the day before and I just have to wait for it to finally reset at some point. 

The watch complication is a cool feature but the graphic/logo when in the bottom left is confusing and randomly disables. I have to remove the complication and re-add it. 

I will continue to use the app until these issue get the better of me.

### 4/5 — Super simple, no fluff

*2022-10-02*

Exactly what I’ve been looking for!

### 4/5 — Great, but could be improved

*2022-06-08, version 1.17.0*

For the most part, I love this app. Great way to help me remember to drink water. I just wish there were more options for how much I drank. And every time on my Lock Screen that I get a notification, there’s a typo which drives me nuts! It says “Time tro drink water” every time until I unlock my phone.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2022-03-23, version 1.17.0*

The app works well and does what it says on the tin. I’ve noticed a typo on the notification that reminds me to drink though.

### 3/5 — Siri shortcut doesn’t work

*2022-02-04, version 1.17.0*

I keep receiving “an error occurred” notification. The other apps’ shortcuts work, the Gulps does not.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2021-08-27, version 1.17.0*

I don’t usually write reviews for apps but this is such a diamond in the rough! Super simplified and perfect for people like me who get tend to get overwhelmed. Thank you for making such a great app free and accessible!

### 4/5 — Good concept

*2021-07-08, version 1.17.0*

I like the app. I enjoy the simplicity of it. I especially like being able to add intake from Siri. However, I feel like I, and others, would benefit from being able to input different amounts rather than having to select from two predetermined amounts. (Yes, I understand you can change the amounts in the settings, but I don’t always drink a set amount at a time. I have a bottle with measurements on it, and sometimes I drink 2oz at a time… sometimes I drink 1. Sometimes I drink 4 and sometimes I drink 8. It varies. It would be nice to be able to input a specific amount each time. Or at least have the option available if my amount of water intake isn’t one of the two predetermined amount options given. Other than that, it’s a good app!

### 5/5 — Reminders give you that, “Oh yeah I forgot moment”

*2021-03-13, version 1.16.0*

Love this simple yet much needed reminder to drink my daily water.

Simple pop up that reminds you  giving you that, “Oh yeah I forgot moment”

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2021-01-11, version 1.16.0*

At first this app was called water tracker and I got it but now they updated water tracker to gulps i am completely new app! Both of these are amazing and straightforward!

### 5/5 — Great tracking app

*2020-07-08, version 1.15.0*

I like the simplicity. However, with latest update when I try to enter gulps via notification quick reponse the app redirects me into the app. It wasn’t like that before and I really used to use that a lot! Please bring it back then I’ll add 2 more stars to my review. Thank you for your effort.

Edit: The developer of this app is the best. After latest update I still had the problem then I reached out to developer and we fixed it. If you still have the issue that I mentioned above, just turn off and on notifications in app settings.
