Money makes no sense

5 double saves £9? Where are you buying your alcohol?

Could be better

Easy to track but the badges don’t activate at the correct times. Ive been alcohol free for 15 months and still haven’t got my 1 year badge. Its annoying that you cant update a whole week without having to select a day at a time and confirm.

Easy to use

Have been using this for a while and while it was effective for me to start with I’ve slipped a bit now.

Can it also help to set a limit and track unit consumption?

The occasional bug and it would be useful if it asked you to update your details from time to time.

Great help

This has been a life saver for me! Love that it gives calories and savings. I’m a sucker for a sticker so loved getting a new one to mark a milestone. Was guttered it only went to one year.

Early targets too hard to meet

This is a helpful app but is very basic and could be much more motivating ie the drink free day badges - first one is 1 day no drinking, next badge is 10 days no drinking. For someone used to drinking most days for years, 10 days is a very long way away - why not add 3 / 5 / 7 days ? Simple changes would make this app much better
