### 4/5 — Simple et efficace

*2026-07-25, version 5.12*

Super application, simple et intuitive, parfaite pour les amateurs de café qui veulent allier plaisir et santé. Et franchement, la modération, ça a bien meilleur goût !

### 5/5 — Add a easier way to add a drink of your choice

*2025-08-01, version 5.5.5*

I love your application except it hard or complicated/ confusing to add your own costume drink to the database in your application

### 5/5 — Great App for Tracking Caffeine

*2025-04-30, version 5.5.3*

I’ve learned a lot from this app! I like how it shows how much caffeine will be in your system during the day and how long it last! I’ve cut back since I see how long it stays in my system.

### 5/5 — No overdoses

*2025-04-28, version 5.5.3*

Pretty helpful, keeps me from having a critical overdose

### 4/5 — Good coffee app but

*2025-04-19, version 5.5.3*

This app is amazing and I could track the how many caffeine I take and it has the coffee of the store I been through such as Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. But it would been nice if it has like a scanner for example I would by coke from like the store but it would be different and it takes a while to make a new section for that amount.

### 3/5 — I don’t think it will work for me

*2025-04-05, version 5.5.3*

I can only add beverages, but there’s also caffeine in some medicines (65 mg in my preferred pain killers) and even in chocolate (12 mg/oz for dark chocolate). These are significant quantities for a sensitive person.
When adding a custom “beverage” to your log, you enter caffeine content per 8 oz serving so for an energy shot with 150 mg/oz, you would enter 1200, but the app will truncate it to 120.
I’ll try to find workarounds, but this app would be pretty nice without this flaw.
And I certainly won’t buy premium with these limitations.

### 5/5 — A great app to manage your caffeine addiction

*2025-03-16, version 5.5.3*

I generally really like the app. The UI is very well done and provides useful insights into how caffeine is processed in your body. The widgets are perfect. One feature request - can the app show what drinks I can still take now to meet the sleep line at 10pm? Eg today it says I have 150mg budget left but clearly if I drink a large latte at 9:30pm, I won’t sleep well even though it’d still be within the budget. The metabolism chart is only updated after I add the drink (I understand I can add the drink before actually drinking it and then undo, but that’s more cumbersome)

### 5/5 — So good

*2025-02-20, version 5.5.1*

This app has every single bell and whistle you could want. Apple health integration? Yes
Apple Watch app and widgets (even faces)? Yes
Your favourite coffees from well known outlets? Yes
A comprehensive set of iOS widgets? Yes.
Easy and intuitive? Yes

### 5/5 — 超好用的软件！但仍有功能上的不足

*2025-01-23, version 5.5.1*

希望能够在添加自己咖啡饮品信息时记录自己的的冲泡配方。

### 5/5 — Caffeine Junkies Beware

*2024-11-16, version 5.4.4*

This is an amazing app! I use it everyday and the new live activity feature is just icing on the cake! 15/10 recommend!

### 5/5 — Great UI

*2024-10-06, version 5.4.3*

Love this app for the functionality --but I keep it for the UI. Simple, intuitive, creative.Very generous free plan.

### 5/5 — 5 star

*2024-10-01, version 5.4.3*

I’m tracking my caffeine to cut down using the free stuff for now.  I often forget about how caffeine has a half love while breaking down and so it is good to get an understanding of what my caffeine content is some logging my intake, to how long it’s been. What I thought was anxiety/mental health stuff has been way too much caffeine, also way too late in the day. Love this app.

### 5/5 — worth the money

*2024-09-25*

i don't usually appreciate in-app purchases and subscriptions, but this app is just simply worth it. it is very well made. additional thanks for the one-time purchase offer. subscription model is less appealing.

### 5/5 — Love the metabolism widget

*2024-09-23, version 5.4.3*

This caffeine tracker is great. I usually use a shortcut to track my caffeine intake which directly writes to health and this caffeine tracker is the only app that will correctly pull that caffeine intake from Health and display it in the app as well as display the caffeine metabolism estimator in a widget.

### 4/5 — Lots of good, some shortcomings depending on lifestyle

*2024-09-07, version 5.3.7*

Great for Starbucks and Nespresso users. Had to program in Coke Zero and other basic sodas. Also doesn’t include major regional bands like Wawa, non-McDonalds fast, and other major chains. Bought $8.99 app (bc I don’t tend to like subscriptions) and probably wouldn’t have once I realized that it doesn’t fit my lifestyle. Like the watch face option which is a great feature. Would recommend to folks whose lifestyle it fits.

### 2/5 — I find it useless, I don’t want to calculate and do maths

*2024-09-01, version 5.3.7*

I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to add the coffee I just made and am drinking. It’s a 16oz cup and I put some ground coffee into a reusable pod for the Kurig at work. 

How do I list this? I see no options and I have no idea how much water is in this coffee. No idea how much coffee I scooped into the pod - 1scoop? 

And at home it’s the same problem. I have an Aero Press coffee maker. How do I document that? 

Look, I just need a basic caffeine tracker based on the size of my cup: a 16 oz travel cup. Let me pick my coffee based on my cup.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not allow to track jitters

*2025-05-12, version 5.5.3*

Also not enough nespresso current vertuo options

### 1/5 — Lacking options especially for a paid app

*2024-09-19, version 5.4.2*

I’m a disappointed I paid for this app, since the caffeine calculator only seems to have espresso, pour over, and French press.

Where’s drip? AeroPress? Moka Pot? 

I have a rotation of 5-6 drinks I make at home but as it is I can only really track 2 of them like I wanted.

### 1/5 — The benefit is outweighed by the heavy toll on my patience

*2024-05-11, version 5.3.7*

I like the concept, but the illogical user interface, and counter-intuitive navigation structure makes it a waste of precious time.

### 1/5 — It’s so-so

*2024-05-10*

I like the app and the features, but I think for what you get it’s overpriced. All the actual useful features are locked behind a paywall and it’s another subscription added to your monthly expenses that stays on the back of your mind. As someone who simply wants to reduce caffeine and health in order to reduce anxiety, I think it’s not very useful as most drinks are locked up unless you commit to another yearly subscription. Would really prefer a one time payment for this sort of thing to unlock the drinks. Don’t understand why each month I should pay to unlock them again. This makes it very annoying for me and one of those apps where I’ll try to find an easier alternative.

### 1/5 — Lame App

*2023-09-24, version 5.0*

This app is stupid. Plenty of potential but the UI & feature-set leave a ton to be desired. Do not buy premium (as of Sept. 24 2023)

### 1/5 — Locking health sync behind a paywall = delete

*2023-08-21, version 4.8.1*

Find another app that doesn’t lock the main point of the app behind a paywall. I’d rather manually search what a branded drink has and impute it in rather then pay to do something so basic.

### 1/5 — Free is useless

*2022-01-15, version 3.0.10*

This lasted less than 5 minutes on my phone. The free version is useless. You can only add preset basic versions of coffee. Cannot add anything custom and any of the brand name coffees are locked in the free version.  What’s the point if you can’t actually track what your consuming? As a free version, don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2021-10-11, version 3.0.2*

Perhaps I’m used to the ease of MFP, but honestly I could not figure out how to log even one mass produced product after 20 minutes. Why would anyone want to upgrade when you can’t even do a simple task properly?

### 1/5 — Only drinks available on the …

*2021-07-10, version 2.18*

menu but not customizable for the weird amount of shots I add. And I’m not paying to figure it out. I don’t drink from the various other places because I can’t stand brewed (drip) coffee anymore.

### 1/5 — Apple Watch doesn’t work

*2021-04-02, version 2.9.2*

Hi,

This app looks beautiful but does not even show up on Apple Watch at all anymore

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2026-03-23, version 5.6.3*

However, the paid content wasn't handled very well.

### 5/5 — Been working great

*2026-02-12, version 5.6.2*

This app has been working great for me for years now

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-01-21, version 5.6.2*

I’ve used this for 2 years now. Quick and easy to log my cups, and I especially love the live caffeine level tracker and bedtime caffeine level metric

### 5/5 — premium version

*2025-12-26, version 5.6.2*

I like it a lot. It is really very good.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2025-12-11, version 5.6.1*

Truly a wonderful, helpful app. It has improved the way I live my life. Thank you.

### 5/5 — You should update liquid/ frosted glass like iOS/iPadOS 26.1 and 26.2 beta’s did

*2025-12-01, version 5.6.1*

You should update liquid/frosted glass on iOS/ iPadOS like they did 26.1 and the beta of  26.2 beta’s

### 5/5 — Best Caffeine Tracker App

*2025-11-24, version 5.6.1*

I have been loving using this app. The caffeine tracking is great and it directly integrates with apple health and the HiWater app!

### 5/5 — Easy to use app

*2025-11-03, version 5.6.1*

Great app for tracking coffee consumption.

### 5/5 — Helped me quit caffeine

*2025-11-01, version 5.6.1*

Amazing at helping me quit my caffeine addiction after just a brief period of usage.  Thanks for such an awesome detailed app.

I bought lifetime membership anyway as I’m so grateful but there hopefully won’t be much to log! 🤣
