Make it freely available as the human right it is, and I'll consider coming back. ### 1/5 — Public data for $ *2026-01-06* App is completely useless without paying for subscription. ### 1/5 — Feels Like A Cash Grab *2026-01-05, version 1.26* You're required to pay just to scan water bottles, which is already frustrating-especially when the product selection is limited. I attempted to scan Mountain Valley Water, and it didn't show up at all. On top of that, the app pushes a subscription fee of $14.99 per year or $24.99 for a lifetime subscription. This pricing doesn't make much sense when the same information can be easily found through a simple online search or by using tools like ChatGPT. Overall, it feels less like a helpful resource and more like an unnecessary cash grab. ### 1/5 — App steals money from you *2026-01-05, version 1.26* The lifetime subscription is 29.99. I selected this option and was charged 44.46. Fraudulent scam ### 1/5 — Not a free app *2026-01-04* I will not pay for information that can be found with little research. ### 1/5 — Not Enough Information *2025-12-29* App lacks information about many brands of water I tried to search. If it didn’t have any testing or research on it, it just gave it a low rating. They had advertising that you’ll see the data behind the rating but not at all true once using the app — overall pretty useless. Icelandic had the highest rating, but again only take that with a grain of salt considering it didn’t include many waters I searched for. ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2025-12-29, version 1.26* Everything is hidden behind a paywall pathetic ### 1/5 — Pay Wall App / useless in Canda *2025-12-27* This app is useless without paying for additional features. Plus even if you do pay and are located in Canada.. it doesnt list common water that is sold here although they market this app in Canada. ### 1/5 — PAY PAY PAY *2025-12-26* Great app idea, unfortunately everything is locked and you have to pay to be able to use any of the feature. It’s not worth the 20$ ### 1/5 — Really? Subscription only? *2025-12-26* What a joke, just when u thought there was a free app nope we gotta pay what a joke man. Like ya I’m gonna pay that exorbitant amount to check a few waters then never use the app again? Like cmon you guys, this is ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣 yall think your doing us a service but ya ain’t ### 1/5 — Pay for public info *2025-12-24* The idea behind this app is solid — people should care about what’s in their water. Unfortunately, the execution doesn’t justify a $20/month subscription. Most of the information presented appears to be aggregated from public sources (municipal water reports, brand disclosures, and general contaminant data), yet the app does not clearly disclose its exact data providers, lab sources, or scoring methodology. For a product asking premium pricing, that lack of transparency is a major red flag. If I’m paying this much, I expect clear citations, named labs, testing dates, and the ability to verify claims. Instead, users are asked to trust a proprietary “score” without seeing the underlying sources. This app may be useful for people who want a quick, simplified overview and don’t mind paying for convenience, but informed users can find the same core information for free directly from municipal Consumer Confidence Reports, the EPA, or bottled water brand disclosures. Until the developers clearly publish their data sources, lab partners, and scoring criteria, the price feels hard to justify. ### 1/5 — Ai generated *2025-12-24* This app was thrown together by Ai trying to mislead people into buying water and water related products by companies that are seemingly promoted on the app. Completely unrealistic rankings, do not use this app for their info given is not accurate. They don’t provide much info but still rank waters. Lab results will be based off 2 tests which is actually the bare minimum and they rank waters over others with no tests done. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate junk *2025-12-20* Don’t waste your time with this app. It just wants you to pay for customer reviews of water products. The analysis is not accurate or comprehensive. Basically a scam app for health conscious folk. Total garbage. ### 1/5 — Missing certain brands *2025-12-14, version 1.26* Couldn’t find Pure life! ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-12-07* Completely useless app. As soon as you download it, it starts asking you to pay for everything. Every single feature is locked. It pretends to be free but it is basically a fully paid app. You can’t see anything useful without paying. I honestly don’t understand how it has such a high rating. There are better and more honest alternatives. I would not recommend this one at all. ### 1/5 — Waste *2025-11-05, version 1.25* Terrible and now I can’t get out of my free trial !!! Cancel please ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost my membership paid for a year and had no help from support *2026-08-07* Paid for a entire year subscription and somehow got logged out. I used the Apple ID auto fill when making the account, and it won’t let me log back in with it it change password or send email or anything. Emailed support multiple times and got a few un helpful responses which took literal weeks and months for each response. They never even emailed back from 2 months ago so I now just give up. Don’t waste your money with this app there are many better ones that won’t take your money then ignore you. ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2026-04-16, version 1.29* Wants money for everything ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-03-18, version 1.28* This app was advertised as a free app which it was not. ### 1/5 — Locking info behind paywall 🤡 *2026-03-02, version 1.28* Nobody’s paying when research is free 🤣 ### 1/5 — Tiny databases *2026-02-22* Paid $30+ for this app that stop updating its database. I’ve scanned over 20 water bottles and none of them are recognized. Then it asks to add the brand to the database. The camera won’t work and the bar scan is useless. Worst app I’ve ever bought. It deserves negative Star. ### 1/5 — Subscription Service *2026-01-23* App has a paywall requiring you to pay a subscription for any meaningful data. ### 1/5 — Paywall scam *2026-01-20, version 1.26* Scam ### 1/5 — Ripped me off *2026-01-16, version 1.26* Tried to sign up for a free trial and got scammed for $19.99. ### 1/5 — here you go *2026-01-14* you deserve 0 star. don’t download this app, you have to pay for information. and if you did downloaded it, please drop 1 star ### 1/5 — Stay Away *2026-01-10, version 1.26* Not many waters are ranked in the app. Low quality app. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-01-07* People are giving 1 star because they had to pay? People, it costs money to develop apps and websites and keep them updated and running. Great App. Love it, we know who is selling us good water now and who’s not. Thank You Developers. I don’t know why people buy a $7 Starbucks but complain about a $1.99 a month app that’s not free to build or keep updated. Also, on another note, as a company on the app, these folks that run the app will not take money for ads or product placement. :) ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-11-17* People are giving 1 star because they had to pay? People, it costs money to develop apps and websites and keep them updated and running. Great App. Love it, we know who is selling us good water now and who’s not. Thank You Developers :) ### 5/5 — Smh *2025-10-23* You could download it for free, but to use it as a subscription fee ### 3/5 — Not for Canada *2025-12-29* Many Canadian water brands not included. Tap water reports for Canada also not included. Will pay for app if they include Canadian data in the future. ### 3/5 — Canada coverage *2025-07-25* Unfortunately some water brands in Canada not being recognized and when I try to add it to system it fails please and also I purchased the one time 39$ 🥲 but now I see I can’t use it fully ### 2/5 — Suck *2025-12-29* Limit and you have pay for it to see all information ### 2/5 — Unfinished app cool idea needs more work *2025-07-22, version 1.12* Cool idea for an app but a lot of waters analysis isn’t complete . Everything that is in plastic says microplastics high. Also the numbers for their guidelines doesn’t cite the sources it should be a footnote for each . Lazy programming for the app. If you charge money for the app you definitely should follow up on each bar code and have an analysis inputted that’s what the subscription should be for right and not a cash grab for the developers 😄 ### 2/5 — Not there yet *2025-07-22* Good potential but needs more work … missing so many water brands **Developer response:** We are working everyday on adding more water :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
