### 4/5 — Bösartige Webseite

*2026-01-16*

Ich finde die App ganz toll und nutze sie schon lange.

Neuerdings erhalte ich aber beim Aufrufen der App immer die Warnung „Bösartige Website „ und die App stürzt daraufhin ab (lässt sich danach aber ganz normal wieder öffnen und bedienen). Könnt Ihr diesen Fehler bitte beheben?

### 3/5 — Pas très intuitif

*2025-11-17*

Appli sympa pour penser à s’hydrater. Mais depuis l’Apple Watch n’enregistre pas les boissons. Et perso je ne rallume pas le tél à chaque fois que j’attrape ma gourde. Donc 0 calcul de la quantité bue… mais peut être n’ai-je pas compris comment m’en servir.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with Apple Watch

*2025-05-01*

Just downloaded this to try to get better at drinking water. Little bit hunky with set up but I figured it out. (Defaults to ml and keeps it there even when you change it to oz). Tracked on my watch once and thereafter it wouldn’t start. So it’s off my watch. We’ll see if I continue using it.

### 5/5 — Waterful

*2025-01-03*

Muito bommmm

### 4/5 — Terrible at hydration!

*2024-11-16, version 2.12.2*

I have had to take a stand at myself, for not drinking enough fluids! The app is fun and simple to use. I know one can change time of fluid intake ( probably not really that important either!), but is a bit fiddly and annoying. Frustrating too that one can’t adjust types of fluid. I’d like to add things like kefir, kombucha and smoothies.

### 3/5 — Error

*2024-11-11*

Everything was fine with the app, but suddenly it started closing every time I tried to open it and now I can't use it.

### 3/5 — Utile però..

*2024-11-08*

Purtroppo salta qualche volta e non suona

### 5/5 — Straightforward!

*2024-10-14, version 2.12.2*

This is the easiest water tracker that I’ve used. My only wish is that I could delete the stuff that I never drink (soda, for example).

### 5/5 — Water intake manager

*2024-09-30, version 2.12.2*

September 30, 2024
The most awesome app ever. I enjoy using this app to log my water intake daily. It’s amazing and fun to use. I recommend this app, I love it!

### 4/5 — Darkmode

*2024-08-14*

Eine wirklich tolle App!
Mir fehlt aktuell noch die Möglichkeit das Widget auch im darkmode farblich passend zu haben, da es sehr hell ist und mir negativ auf dem Home Bildschirm auffällt. 😊👍

### 5/5 — Crashing on my Ultra

*2024-08-09, version 2.12.2*

I love this app. LOVE IT. but it started crashing on my Watch. 

Please update. Thank you

### 5/5 — Super!

*2024-08-07*

I like your app very much. It’s the best. Only one thing, some bubbling noises from the kraken would be perfect.

### 5/5 — Рекомендую

*2024-08-04*

Просмотрел много разных трекеров для воды, и остановился на этом. Все продумано и приятно сделано. Нет лишних функций. Адекватная цена за подписку. Есть интеграция и Apple Watch 🔥

### 5/5 — Excelente.

*2024-08-03*

I really liked it. Straight to the point as a dedicated app should be. I tested dozens. Literally. And either they are very bad, very expensive or expensive and bad at the same time. I have only one suggestion: to allow a freely adjustment of the time of notifications between intakes because there are only 4 options - 15; 30; 45 minutes and 1 hour. I think the adjustment control could vary from 5 to 5 minutes.

### 4/5 — LOVE IT

*2024-07-17*

I love this water tracker at the especially because of the cute little octopus that you see. I love how you kind of have like a little missions if you drink water for XM then you become blah blah blah like you have better skin or you have a cute little thing that kind ofhard to understand I have a reusable water bottle and it’s kind of hard to track how much I put in so that’s the only thing that was a little difficult for me but you’re really game changer

### 5/5 — I Lovet the App

*2024-07-06, version 2.12.2*

### 1/5 — Не работает на вотч 10

*2025-08-17, version 2.12.2*

Приложение открывается через раз а если откроется, то зависает. Итог, удалил все и нашел другой сервис.!

### 1/5 — Wo ist die Watch App hin?

*2025-03-06*

WatchOs-Update heute und die Watch App war weg. Die Eingabe übers iPhone funktioniert schon seit Jahren nicht mehr, die App stürzt jedes Mal ab. Das letzte App Update ist ein Jahr her. Das wars dann wohl.

**Developer response:** Hi there 😊 Apologies for not responding in German. We're glad you let us know about the issue. We'd like to resolve it, but we may need more info about your device and when this problem occurs. Could you contact us directly at waterful-support@listonic.com? This is the fastest way for us to get back to you and ask you all necessary questions. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Хорошее приложение, но…

*2025-01-27*

Ужасно работает с Apple Watch 7. Не знаю по какой причине, но программа для часов устанавливается, но не прогружается, вылетает и виснет. При этом на моих же AW9 и двух моих AW6 (все на самой свежей версии ОС) работает отлично, синхронизируется с телефоном мгновенно и не вылетает. Поддержка молчит. Обновления не выходят уже год. Ставлю 1 звезду из-за этого, а если бы не эта проблема, то поставил бы 5 и купил, те в остальном программа отличная.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-10-02*

It’s constantly crashing when I try to log anything

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2024-06-28*

In concept this is a great app. In reality it's got too many issues. Most annoying it deletes itself from my Watch requiring deleting the app from my iPhone, reinstalling on my Watch and iPhone. Frequently it will then refuse to link my Watch to my iPhone. When it works it's great, but more frequently its bugs make it useless.

Update. After multiple emails with developer the developer stopped responding.

**Developer response:** Hey! Sorry that you encounter issues with the app. We’ll be happy to help but we need some more details.  Could you report the problem via “Help & feedback” in the app menu? This way, we’ll automatically receive some details that are necessary to track and solve it. Thanks 💛😊

### 1/5 — Dismissive customer care

*2024-04-01, version 2.12.2*

This app was great. I’ve used it and relied on it for a long time. The widget has been broken for months. I’ve reached out twice. They take forever to get back to me and were dismissive and said that it wasn’t very important to them to fix it. I’m hoping this changes so I can remove this review and use the app again.

### 1/5 — No registra ni sincroniza

*2024-02-12*

La app del watch no registra lo bebido ni permite añadir desde el Watch 
Mala compra

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for letting us know so quickly. Unfortunately, the app store doesn’t give us enough data about this problem... Could you report it via “Help & feedback” in the app menu? This way, we’ll automatically receive some details that will allow us to find and solve it faster. Thank you 💚😊

### 1/5 — I don’t under this app

*2024-01-22, version 2.12.2*

Nothing it’s happening there

### 1/5 — Honest opinion

### 5/5 — Sehr gute App - nach langem Vergleich endlich gefunden

*2026-06-19*

Sehr schön gemachte App, sehr funktional, mit ausgezeichneten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Funktioniert umfangreich auch in einer kostenlosen Version und noch schöner, werbungsfrei in Pro.

### 5/5 — Enchantée

*2026-04-14*

Très simple à utiliser

### 5/5 — Wasser trinken

*2026-02-09*

Ich bin begeistert von der App ,die Erinnerungen haben mir sehr geholfen meine Trinkmenge zu verbessern.

### 5/5 — хорошее приложение, но есть пара идей

*2025-10-02, version 2.12.2*

замечательное приложение! пользуюсь, наверное, более 3 месяцев, всё хорошо, но есть пару предложений. из плюсов: приятный и понятный интерфейс, милый осьминог поднимает настроение 🐙 можно редактировать напитки и создавать свои бесплатно, есть интеграция со здоровьем. из минусов: вроде редакция избранных напитков как функция имеется, но работает раз через раз. я не пью алкоголь и кофе, удаляю их из панели что бы не мешали, но переодически они всё равно появляются. грустно что изначальный выбор напитков очень маленький, поэтому приходится искать уровень гидрации таких базовых напитков как молочный коктейль, смузи :( ещё неудобно что посмотреть или отредактировать свой созданный напиток нельзя, а бывает нужно изменить иконку и/или уровень гидрации. помимо этого хотелось бы иметь тёмную или хотя бы цветную тему. как итог я хочу сказать что приложение правда хорошее, на голову выше своих конкурентов, но было бы здорово иметь те функции, что были описаны выше. желаю вам только хороших результатов в вашей работе, спасибо!

### 5/5 — After more than 60 years of dehydration. Waterful has become my go-to app for staying hydrated!

*2025-07-08*

I probably spent more than 60 years dehydrated. My doctor said if people would get enough water many of them would not need to be medicated for their moods. I have found that to be true in my case. I really cannot tell when I’m thirsty or not.

Waterful has become my go-to app for staying hydrated, and it’s made a huge difference in how my brain and body feel. What sets Waterful apart is its ability to calculate my daily water needs based on personal factors like gender, weight, activity level, and even my local environment—whether it’s a hot day or I’m in a dry climate, it adjusts my goal perfectly. Knowing the brain is 75% water and that even 1-2% dehydration can impair focus, memory, and mood, I’m motivated to hit those targets, and Waterful makes it effortless.

The app’s sleek design is a joy to use, with a water tracker that visually fills as I log my intake—a small but satisfying touch! It sends customizable reminders to sip throughout the day, which is a lifesaver for staying alert and avoiding the fatigue and headaches dehydration can cause. I’ve noticed sharper concentration and fewer mood dips since using it, likely because Waterful helps ensure my brain gets the oxygen, nutrients, and toxin clearance it needs through proper hydration.

Extra features, like tracking other drinks (tea, juice) and syncing with fitness apps, add flexibility. The premium version offers deeper insights and fun hydration challenges, but the free version is plenty powerful.

Waterful is like a personal hydration coach, helping me protect my brain’s health—crucial for everything from decision-making to long-term cognitive wellness. 

If you want to stay hydrated with a smart, science-backed approach, download Waterful now!

### 5/5 — So cute! And free!!!

*2025-06-18*

This app is so freaking cute! Love the little badge awards and cute octopus friend! And I love that I can record multiple kinds of drinks for free! Where other apps make you pay for anything besides water 😫 Absolutely amazing app, I highly recommend!

Update: after using for some time, I still love the app! However, I do wish that if you forgot to log for one day, that you capsule get your streak back if you do log it. I’ve failed multiple times trying to get to the 14 days when I did drink that water amount, but I just get busy at work and forget to even look at the app. Other than that, the app is super fun!

### 5/5 — Best hydration app I found

*2025-05-06, version 2.12.2*

Tried many hydration app but imo this is the best balance of features and design on iPhone and watch. 

Developer is for with the features they allow for free. I paid for the app to support them.

### 5/5 — So cute! And free!!!

This app is so freaking cute! Love the little badge awards and cute octopus friend! And I love that I can record multiple kinds of drinks for free! Where other apps make you pay for anything besides water 😫 Absolutely amazing app, I highly recommend!

### 5/5 — This is it

*2025-01-30*

This is the app for tracking water. The watch complication works perfect, it didn’t ask for money as soon as I installed it, syncs with Apple Health. After using the app for half a day I searched for how much they charge, $8 for a lifetime subscription!  Yes please and thank you.

### 5/5 — The Best Water App

*2025-01-21*

I’ve tried a LOT of water apps. All the ones in articles online as highly recommended? I’ve tried them. I had two requirements - Track my intake to Apple Health and have a GOOD Apple Watch complication. This app knocks it out of the park!! The complication is SO cute and SO easy to use. The widget is ADORABLE. The app itself? Super intuitive, cute, and easy to use. I love that I can add my own drinks and that my ring is different colors depending on what I’ve drank. The octopus is the cutest thing in the world. I love that he celebrates when you achieve your daily goal! And I love that the daily goal itself will change depending on the weather, your activity, and/or a couple other things. I’ve recommended this app in person to a bunch of my friends. It’s just awesome. And I never write reviews.

**Developer response:** Hello 😃 We're so happy that you chose our water reminder to stay hydrated! Our team put a lot of work into this project to make sure the app meets your expectations. Cheers!
