Water Tracker by WaterMinder®

I got this app before but somewhere along I stopped tracking my water intake daily because I love to drink water and I was working out every day and figured that I was drinking enough. Several weeks ago I decided to start tracking again as I would forget to drink water at times so went to look for an app. Forgetting that I had downloaded this one I tried others which did not do what I wanted then found this one that I had previously downloaded. This app does exactly what I need for it to do and syncs up with my Apple Watch seamlessly every time which makes it super easy to input. It has lots of options and is a great app that I now use several times daily and helps me drink more. Due to a back issue I have been laid up for the past three weeks and this app has helped and reminded me of my intake and I have stayed on track every day. Due to upcoming back surgery in a couple days and few weeks of recovery this will continue to keep me on track. I really like this app and it is one of the BEST apps I have ever used and would RECOMMEND it highly.

If you just want to log water than this app is easy. However, it gives you the option to log any beverage but the glitch is it counts all beverages towards your water goal. It’s a “hydrate” total that includes soda, coffee, and even energy drinks as hydration and that is completely incorrect. I did not try alcohol but I suspect it would be included as was because the app doesn’t differentiate the kind of beverage logged in the correct categories. Obviously soda is not hydration and alcohol would be the opposite of hydration. So, the developers need to fix this glitch. The app Calory is by far more advanced and costs $15 a year for the complete premium subscription. You can log water and it only applies water to water; all other beverages are logged separate. It also bar scans your food so counting calories is so easy!!! Use the free version if all you want is a water logger. If this app was to develop into an app like Calory I would try it again because of the ease of use. But, currently it would have a long way to go to complete with Calory. So, if you just want to log water only and nothing else then it’s a great app and very easy to use.

I normally forget about drinking water or to engrossed in my work. I've tried apps for reminders but my phone does not always get my attention. I got an apple watch last week to replace my Fitbit last week and stumbled across this app in looking for fitness apps that give the best apple watch experience and I love it. I've had a streak of meeting and exceeding my 100 oz goal since I've gotten it. The watch app gives me the needed reminders and makes it easy to register immediately. Also, the fact that all drinks count, not just water makes this so much better. It's easier to hit my goal, so I feel better about it, have greater consistency, and am more conscious of how much of my liquid consumption is not water. Looking at you coffee! The design is great. The quick adds are the best. The only criticism are the models you use for your character. Greater variety here would be awesome. Could even make a game or of it by having customization where options are unlocked. The badges have my attention (I will get them all), and I'm curious of what I could chase as a mini game over I have them. Fun is in the name of the company, let's have a bit more with this app! Highly recommended!!
