It is back and working :)

It had issues, but things seem to work again.
Yay! 😊

Wonderful app, couple problems with typos.

Wonderful app! Brought my work time from 2 hours to six, just by helping me pace myself and organize ! One complaint, there are a lot of typos (o turning into 0, 'e' missing from words, etc) in the seal's messages, and it can be a tad distracting.

Otherwise, wonderful app!!

Simple, Calming, Effective

(Sorry, this is long but lots of positive feedback). I love Game-based to-do apps because they make it fun for me. Though I like more interactive worlds for the game part like what FocusHero does, I really need and been appreciating the simple layout in WaterDo because it’s not overwhelming and keeps me focused on the daily reviews to see what I’ve done and what I need to do. What I appreciate most is being able to sort my tasks among the days and ONLY being able to see today’s tasks. Other apps I’ve used also show tasks I have to do and missed and not have options to filter or hide them. This can make it quite overwhelming fast. The islands are very cute and the calming music is lovely. The seal is very cute too! Water donations to water charities is also a very effective motivation for me to keep completing tasks as it’s a real world accomplishment compared to games.
I gave 4 stars for things I’d suggest that could help: (1) Allow the task bubbles to be interactive like dragging them across the screen. This could be another layer of organizing the current tasks and can make the bubbles a little more fun to play with. (2) Have an option to mark tasks as top #3 instead of only a top #1. The limit of top priority is effective for focus but only 1 is limiting. I could have important appointments and a task I really want to focus on after out of the 10 other stuff to do. (3) More interaction in the world. I can tap on the little characters on the island to make them jump but maybe being able to zoom into a zone of the island for a more detailed scene or something could be fun. Another suggestion is being able to play with the seal

Won’t pop

Why won’t my bubbles pop? When I click, it brings up a box setting instead.

Perfect!

So easy to use. Works perfectly. Beautiful design. It’s perfect for my needs. Love it!

Was Great, But Now Forgotten

I’ve used this app for years, but the support section to report an issue causes the app to immediately crash. The words have fonts that are mixed in in both my bubbles and words in the app. Anything that could be used as an abbreviation seems to show up in a different font with periods added like CO. Which is fine if it’s being used that way, but not in the middle of a word. Now my bubbles look like gibberish and are very confusing with all the weird fonts and sizing in my bubbles.

使いやすいが、、

デザインがかわいく、todoとしてもとても使いやすいです。
しかし、読などの字が文字化けして▫︎で表示されているので修正して欲しいです。

Great app but glitchy

Love the app but it’s been glitching for the last week or so. Text is weird and broken up. Makes it hard to read anything.

Update (2025) most of the glitches have been addressed. Text sometimes presents weird in the resident diaries still.

Update 6/2/26:
The daily review feature and completed treasure chest feature won’t work for me and tech support is unresponsive. I’ve reached out at least 3 times about this over the last month and no response from tech support. Very disappointed because when working, the app is awesome.

I need but can NOT get help

I have used, loved, and recommended WaterDo since its release. I am a Premium user. However, I want to create an hourly Daily reminder and I cannot find a way to accomplish this. It immediately goes to multiple times a Week.
Please tell me how to do this so that I can go back to loving your application. Thank you.

Bom

Mas podia dar mais itens para as ilhas

The ONLY to-do app that has worked for me

Pure genius for brains that get frustrated or discouraged by linear task management apps!!! This app is dead simple to use, but has exactly the features I need to keep my tasks organized and myself motivated to complete them. The statistics are fantastic, and you can search tasks and restore any tasks logged that are marked complete or deleted by mistake. The island building is charming and not too distracting. I find the cozy aesthetic delightful, and the playful water bubbles really take the temperature down when looking at what I have to do in a day. I am floored by how much I have used this app, and how much more relaxed I feel about my to-dos!!

It crashes constantly now.

Happens when you press certain (normal) buttons. This just started, not sure why.

Great app !

Often these kinds of apps over-do the gamification aspect, which defeats the whole purpose of. WaterDo is the right balance of simple, fun, and well organized. It has a little bit of gamification, but not enough to be distracting; just motivating. It’s really helped me feel better and be more organized. Thanks to the team !

Water level doesn't change anymore - WHY???

Update: I hate the changes you've made, and now I don't use this app anymore. The whole point was for things to be more tangibly and visibly satisfying, but now the water doesn't rise and I can't choose the size of my bubbles. And the tasks I enter don't even all show up! How can I visualize what I have to do when I can't see it? Who lost the vision here? You guys screwed up. I would never recommend this now. I got this app to help activate my acenses when I have important things to do, which if IMPORTANT for people with ADHD. Now your app changed all the good things and it is BAD.

// The water level doesn't change anymore?!!! Why would you take that away?? That's the reason it feels like you're making progress. PLEASE FIX THIS!! And no response to movement! You might as well be any other app now. SO SAD!!!

Update: I forgot why I stopped using this. Now I remember. BOO

表示されない漢字が多すぎます

日本語版を利用しています。一緒の「緒」など表示されない漢字が多すぎて日誌などが開放されても大半が穴埋め問題のようになっています。アプリ内の問い合わせフォームから二度ほど連絡していますが対応する気配がまったくありません forestばかりではなくこちらの対応もしていただきたいものです

Постоянная синхронизация данных

И вечная надпись что нет сети. Не работает вообще

i hope you’re actually donating water cause im about to change my life cause of this app :)))

🙂‍↕️

Обожаю этого разработчика

Это не первое моё приложение данного разработчика, мне очень все нравится, но мне не хватает календаря, чтобы отслеживать допустим учёбу или рабочие дни было бы круто сделать календарь 🙏

Güzel

Faydalı bir uygulama. Geliştiricin ayakta kalması dileğiyle. Teşekkürler

Great but I wish there was more

This is has been so helpful in the past few years that I’ve been using it. I just hate to see that not much has really improved or been done about glitches that were happening in the app with letters and looking skewed. I also wish they would expand more and build more islands as I’ve gotten through almost all of them by now. It would be nice to see how this app continues to develop.
