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

On track

Keeps you on track

A great help to keeping motivated

Whilst I would not describe myself as a problem drinker I certainly was aware that I was regularly drinking far more units per week than I should.

I found this app strikes the right balance between supportive and preachy. Perhaps the most useful part to keeping me on track was the gamification element of earning badges and getting that little confetti animation every time I crossed off another day - I’m approaching day 100.

If I were asked as to what improvements you could make I’d add more milestone badges as they become further apart as you progress I’d also add some different animations for daily progress, to keep the interest going.
