The water bottle is right there on your desk and you still don't drink it. Then it's 4pm, you've had one glass of water and two coffees, and your head hurts. You've downloaded a water app before. You used it for a week, then forgot it existed. This one has a man in it. His name is Marcus and he checks on you during the day. Every glass of water you log fills in his picture a bit more. Hit your water goal and you swipe to see him for the day. The more days you hit your goal, the further you get with him, and there are new pictures of him for your gallery at 1, 3, 7, 14, 25 and 100 days. Miss a day and you don't lose where you are with him. Your water just starts again the next day. Marcus is free and he's yours from day one. There are four more: Axel, Sebastian, Kai and Vincent. They're all different. Each one changes the look of the whole app and talks to you his own way. You can look at each of them before you pick, and if one of them gets you, you pay once and he's yours to keep. What's in it: - Log a glass of water in one tap, or tap Log Water on his reminder and the app opens - Widgets for your home screen, lock screen and StandBy - Reminders that stop once you hit your goal - Every picture of him you've unlocked, saved in your gallery - What you've had today, all in one list - Your water goes into Apple Health - Coffee, tea, matcha, sparkling, juice and 10 more drinks (Premium) - Log your own amounts (Premium) - Your history past today (Premium) - Reminders at the times you pick (Premium) - Reminders that know when it's hot where you are (Premium) The app is free and so is Marcus. The other four men are one-time purchases. You pay once and he's yours to keep. Premium is optional. It's for the extra drinks, your longer history and setting your reminders your way. You can get it monthly, every three months or yearly, or pay once for lifetime. Go fill up your water bottle. Marcus wants to know your name. Some features require in-app purchases. --- Weather data provided by Apple Weather.
