### 1/5 — Crashing (Update)

*2025-11-17*

First all the unnecessary ads every time you boot up the app, now it’s crashing after I put one drink in!!!!
Please fix this now
You can RARELY see what you’ve already logged because it freezes up, I need to see that info for medical reasons!!!!!!!

### 3/5 — Crashes and notifications problem

*2025-06-13*

When I log fluid intake the app immediately closes. The notifications are not allowing me to customize the time they are active. I don’t want notifications until 2300, as I’ll be asleep for 2 hours by then and don’t want to be disturbed.

### 1/5 — It. VACUMS

*2025-06-10*

I bought the app thinking I would not see ads.  This thing not only has ads there is no easy way to close them. No real ability to set the amounts for the drinks if they don’t happen to be the size in the app

**Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working diligently to resolve it. We appreciate your patience and support as we strive to improve the balance of ads displayed, ensuring a better experience for all our customers.

### 1/5 — Keeps track of everything

*2025-05-27*

When you try to open the app in the newest update, an AD pops up!!!!
I PAY ENOUGH FOR THIS, BUT THERE SHOULD BE A REMOVE ADS OPTION
I also asked over a year ago to put a decimal in so I can CORRECTLY track my drinks!!!!
Finally, I can’t name drinks without it adding multiple options, like if I put Water under 20oz, it goes to three other options.

### 1/5 — Simple error in program

App does not work after only entering 3 times app wants me to pay again for the app.

### 4/5 — Not bad at all

*2024-10-05*

My only gripe is that there is no decimal when you log a drink!!
I’ve had to round up on some drinks because of this
I log my liquids for my Epilepsy notes, and when EveryDrink+ got deleted, this was the next best thing
