HiWater: Powerful Water Logger

Man, what a great app. I’ve done a lot (days, at least) of research into how to track my hydration, and I’ve downloaded probably a dozen apps. They all suffer from the same shortfall: they only track progress toward a daily goal, which resets at midnight. Hydration is about more than just how much you drink in a day! Just because you hit your daily goal at 3 pm, that doesn’t mean you’ll be hydrated at 9 pm. HiWater is the ONLY app that treats hydration as a continuous process. It gives you a reliable and straightforward estimate of your hydration right now, in addition to the daily intake goal. It gives you reminders as you approach dehydration, not just at random times throughout the day (though it can do that too). Between that feature and their widgets, easy interface, and cross-syncing with their equally awesome caffeine tracking app, I couldn’t be happier with their product. This is one of the best applications I have ever used, and hands-down the best hydration tracker. I cannot give the team enough props.

Liking this app so much! Just purchased the permanent version based on the quality of the interface and the feature set. (Also purchased HiCoffee.) Widgets, complications, Siri Shortcuts, syncing — all top-notch. Not sure, though, that I will be using the app regularly: I am a big fan of having my daily goal for hydration change based upon my location (temperature), current activity level, and actual weight and age. Since these are all factors that the app could have access to, I would love to see HiWater take them into account and set my daily goal accordingly.

Been using for a few weeks now and I’m so impressed. I feel like I’ve tried every water tracker and never opened them more than a handful of times. I work a very physical job where I need to stay hydrated but my hands are so occupied that I rarely get a chance to remember to stop and drink. Between all the different watch complications and the widgets, it makes reminding myself far easier. Even without push notifications I’m drinking at least 2 more pints a day. Currently not a pro member but I think I’ll be upgrading very soon. Thank you so much to the developers!
