Request to add

Coming back to this app - would like to see a tracking option when you have zero drinks to show that I am actively saying no drinks today!!! You can track an urge and track a drink but want something to show I had a successful day! Please

Not quite …

Useful. Been using it for nearly 12 months. You get an accurate picture of your drinking. At the moment , the ‘taking stock’ function continues to fail and when this function is selected the app freezes. Annoying. No email support or contact so had to review to see if anybody us at hime to sort. 🙄 Aside from that, it’s a 👍 from me.

Doesn’t work after update

App does not open with update 16.1.

Frustrated

I’ve been using the app for 6 months and really found it helpful but now it seems to have glitched and won’t accept my weekly goal. I deleted it and tried downloading it again. It seems to still not be working and I’ve lost all my data. I’m very frustrated.

It is helpful to keep me accountable and to be able to reflect on past weeks

Best app for helping cut down alcohol

Best app out there for cutting drinks, please update the app on criticism and advice and positive feedback, and general updates please, thanks!!

Helpful

Very helpful when you want to stop drinking and you are able to track your drinks on the phone. Kinda helps with accountability!!

Very useful app!

Answering the questions about reasons and why’s and other issues of drinking is key and I have used this app many times to quit for several months at a time. I’m now completely free and it’s the taking stock that keeps that going. It’s now been 4 months! Great app that I really appreciate when I use.

Good App

Helpful to track drinks

Could use one improvement

In the “Taking Stock”/“Review” feature, I would really like to see a differentiation between the 1-2 drinks and 3-4 drinks per day. So that I can see how I am doing with my goal of stopping after 1-2 drinks, to stay within the low risk limits (for women).

The best app for alcohol tracking

I've been trying many other apps from all around the world but this is the one that works the best for me! Very helpful, easy to use and truly does help to cut down or to be much more aware of your drinking...

Less useful for USA

Good app, if you understand metric. Gets a bit tiring to have to constantly do conversions. Why not a metric/imperial option?

Could save your life

If you’re looking at this app there’s probably a pretty good reason for it, for me it’s binge drinking and the chaos it brings into my life and so far 5 weeks in I’m grateful for what the app brings. Stick with it! You can do it, you can change your drinking patterns and ensure you’re always drinking in the low risk group, could save your life. Well done CAMH.

Brilliant App

Really good app. Only thing missing for me is when you log a drink, water or soft drinks is not there. I’m trying to cut down and making a drink last an hour is difficult. If I can log a drink of water or soft drink that means I’m pacing myself and going slower in order to decrease the amount I usually drink in a short space of time.

Having to log water or soft drink means I am more likely to be in control and I am on the right path. I know this may not be for everyone.

Excellent way to mind your drinking

I have only been using this for a couple weeks but it has helped me to set goals and establish a baseline for my drinking. I like how you can track your urges to drink and how you handled them.

Great interface

This app has helped me cut back on my drinking but I wish it would also display fluid ounces for the USA audience on the “track a drink” feature and have another feature to manually enter an amount because the slider isn’t very accurate, otherwise great app!

Great app!

I’ve been using this app for almost one year and it’s really made a huge difference in my drinking habits. I’ve been much more self aware about how much I drink per week and have cut back pretty substantially. I agree with some of the other recommendations about tracking successful days or getting some sort of reinforcement for not drinking. Also, the stats for the weekly checkups are great, but I’d like to see another intermediary group between those who have 0 drinks and those who have 1-14 drinks. Maybe make it match the daily breakout from the checkup (days with 0, days with 1-4, days with 5-9, and 10+ could be weeks with 1-4, weeks with 5-9, and weeks with 10+?) It just seems odd to lump together people who drink 1 drink per week with those who drink 14 and I’d be curious to see more of a differentiation when doing the comparison stats.

Great app.

Really useful. Lets you keep track and gives you info on where you are compared to city wide average drinkers. Will certainly help you make changes if that's what you need to do.

Love it

Can't really come up with a lot of suggestions at this point. I am a user in the United States, and I really appreciate the tracking and the reporting on this. It has helped a lot!

Incredible, detailed, thorough app that legitimately sets me up for success

The algorithms, the ability to track triggers, to track the urge to drink and not just drinks, the pictures of what the ounces look like in a wine cup or mug, and the general encouragement makes me feel like I can actually accomplish my goals. Incredible, incredible app. I'd recommend it to anyone from someone who wants to quit cold turkey, to a casual drinker who just wants to keep themselves in check, to someone on the verge of becoming alcoholic and wants to pull back, to an alcoholic. You can do this!
