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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the app crashing when logging fluid intake. We also understand your concern about notifications. We're always working to improve the app experience and appreciate your input.

Please fix this now **Developer response:** Thank you for your rating and feedback! We appreciate your input about the decimal when logging drinks. We'll work on improving this feature.

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 **Developer response:** Thank you for your rating and feedback!

Support is woeful. The choices for drinks and volumes is poor. The display for tracking is poor. There are better water tracker apps. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2021-05-29* I have to drink half my weight in water daily and I keep losing track. This app was the easiest of all water intake apps I found. The reminders keep me on track and I meet my quota daily. ### 4/5 — Great but needs improvement *2021-01-06* iPhone app works great, but Apple Watch app keeps glitching, won’t stay in Oz, and closes when I try to add water. ### 4/5 — Membership *2020-04-09, version 1.4* I really love this app but it's really annoying that you have to pay for a membership to use other drinks😤! ### 4/5 — Easy to use! *2020-03-08, version 1.4* It’s easy to use! I only wish it had the ability to pick accurate ounces. It goes from 16 then skips to 20 ounces and my water bottle holds 18 ounces so I’m either 2 over or 2 under. ### 5/5 — Owner *2019-06-29, version 1.4* Excellent app! Exactly what I needed! ### 5/5 — Works great *2019-01-02, version 1.4* A great app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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!!!!!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your rating and feedback!

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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your rating and feedback!

Now you can’t do anything without paying. ### 1/5 — Отзыв *2024-03-12* Ужасное приложение, оплатила полную версию на год, и все допы слетели спустя пару недель 😞 и на часах не работает, от слова совсем 😞 **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв.

Really frustrating because I primarily use my watch ### 1/5 — Water balance *2020-06-24* Цена указана за подписку в месяц.

I’ve been using this app for almost 3 days, and it’s really been helping. I didn’t know that you should drink water every two hours. I’m definitely keeping this app, I would recommend this to anyone. ### 5/5 — my favorite water app *2022-10-24* It's very easy to use. It also has other drinks to choose from besides water. There are also badges / awards. It' s like a fun way to keep hydrated. ### 5/5 — Aweosme *2022-10-09* Really helped me to increase my water intake ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! *2022-08-14* This app is outstanding! I was not feeling very good about how much water I drank and then I tried this app and feel a LOT better. ### 5/5 — Options *2022-06-29, version 1.5* I wish that I could have soda and yoghurt as an option. This takes away from the quality of the app. Please send improve ### 5/5 — My best step to my health goal! *2021-09-12* I never knew how dehydrated I was….now with this app I have discovered how to monitor my goal of consuming half of my weight in water and healthy beverages to create a positive new healthy mind and body! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
