### 3/5 — App issues defeat the purpose of the bottle

*2026-08-22*

The app frequently fails to sync with my LARQ bottle, so my water consumption is not being updated accurately. I’m also unable to complete a filter change in the app. I can go through the entire process, but when I reach the final page and tap “Finish,” nothing happens, so the filter change never registers.

Considering how much this bottle costs, I can’t justify the price when two of its main features, hydration tracking and filter tracking, are not working properly. At that point, it defeats much of the purpose of paying a premium for a smart bottle. I hope these issues are addressed soon.

### 2/5 — Bottle is great, app is very frustrating

*2026-08-21*

I had a bottle from this companies original kickstarter and it served me well for many years. It finally quit on me recently and I was excited about the upgrades with the new version, including the app. 

Unfortunately, a day in, the app has already presented a slew of issues. Most frustrating is that it refuses to record a new filter installation—I can make it through all the steps of this until the end, where the “finish” button is entirely unresponsive. Went to submit feedback on this within the app and lo and behold, those pages are unresponsive as well. A real bummer, as tracking filter replacements is a main facet of what I would have used this limited app for.

### 3/5 — What is the app for if not to send you notifications to drink?

*2026-08-01, version 1.3.0*

I thought this was going to send me phone notifications on how much I have still left to drink to reach my goals each day. This is a missed opportunity.

### 3/5 — Love the bottle, hate the app

*2026-07-22*

The app needs a stronger sensor. Sometimes the bottle doesn’t light up after a sip and I have to stare at the app to make sure my sip was recorded. Other times it doesn’t update at all, and then 20 mins to hours later the data bum rushes my history. Sometimes it reflects I’ve drank more than the bottle physically can hold. It would be better if the app shows a real time level of how much water is in it at the time of filling. Another issue is the sensor definitely struggles keeping up within a car. For rideshare drivers like me all the stop and go is really confusing on the sensor so I won’t deduct points for that because of my business but I hate babysitting the sensor to make sure it updates.

Lastly I need to be able to change the manual Oz’s selections. Sometimes I need to select 10oz more than I need to select 12oz or 8oz. I NEVER select 23oz or 26oz, when I’m driving I shouldn’t have to type that in because the developers didn’t think to allow us to edit our frequent choices. Please change this!

Other than that, having this bottle makes drinking water and keeping up with my daily hydration fun for me. I’m optimizing my prenatal health and my wife and I are trying for children soon and this is one of the many tools supporting my reproductive health journey.

### 3/5 — Great bottle - needs 2 things tho

*2026-07-19, version 1.3.0*

Love the bottle, UV light, filter and tracking! Tho I keep getting notices to have Larq running in the background and cap shows it’s offline. 
Also electronic uv cap should have built in rubber cover for charging port to avoid water getting into it!

### 1/5 — Hydration Tracking Not Working

*2026-07-16, version 1.3.0*

The entire reason I bought this water bottle and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried every troubleshooting option multiple times. So disappointing.

### 2/5 — LARQ app

*2026-07-14, version 1.3.0*

I’m having difficulty with the app- it’s connected and I can’t seem to put it to good use - 🤪🤪

### 4/5 — ‘Add a drink’ button

*2026-07-13, version 1.3.0*

I drink a lot of smoothies and I always put it under ‘Juice’ but it’s technically not juice. I think you should add an option for ‘other’ or ‘Smoothie’. Otherwise I love the app and it is very user friendly.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-07-12, version 1.3.0*

Good app but m bottle doesn’t always connect to it to actually show how much I’ve drank in a day. Wish there was a widget as well.

### 1/5 — False Marketing

*2026-07-06, version 1.3.0*

Where are the notifications to my phone? I bought this because it said it would send notifications to my phone to drink water, it does no such thing. However it doesn’t seem to have an issue to send me a push notification to order a new filter. Odd.
