The Damage
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most drink trackers feel like tax returns. The Damage takes three seconds. Tap one of six familiar drinks. See your week in drinks and estimated UK units. Then spin the Wheel of Fate to make the modelled odds visible. The point is accountability, not perfect bookkeeping: • Log a drink in three seconds • See your weekly pace and calendar history • Mark alcohol-free days • Share the week—not your history—with a scorecard you control • Set an optional daily alert and Monday scorecard alert • Log from the Home Screen widget • Made for iPhone Duo, folded or open Nothing posts automatically. There is no account to create. Your log stays in the app and can sync through your private iCloud account. The risk percentage comes from published population research. It is context, not a personal prediction or diagnosis. The roulette wheel uses the upper end of the range shown in the app. For adults 18+. UK unit estimates are approximate. The Damage is not medical advice. If you are worried about your drinking, the app links to NHS guidance and support.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Damage at none against Get Sober's 4. The Damage also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Get Sober's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
