Water tracker Waterllama Reviews

by Ac0194

I’m considering deleting this now based on the disturbing tips I’m reading under the challenges, which are worsened by being unable to remove them. Why does a hydration app have a weight loss challenge? Why does that weight loss challenge include tips that promote disordered eating habits and encouragements to engage in harmful, eating-disorder-related behaviors? Why is there a challenge that refers to eating certain types of food as “cheating?” I regret giving money to developers who felt the need to include this in what could have been a fun way to stay hydrated and make sure I’m not forgetting to drink water throughout the day. Unnecessary tips like “drink before you eat to reduce appetite,” “try time-restricting your eating,” and advising not to eat to “compensate” are included with shockingly poor judgement. WatertrackerWaterllama works perfectly fine without having to include faux-scientific weight loss into it and it unnecessarily perpetuates disordered-eating and dieting.

Love the fun and playful interface, and initially really liked WatertrackerWaterllama. However, in the last few weeks it’s starting being really laggy, as in taking more than 10 seconds after I open WatertrackerWaterllama before it becomes responsive. I click and swipe, but nothing happens, and then sometimes, in trying to catch up, it’ll open one of the water input options multiple times. It’s really annoying to sit and wait so long after opening WatertrackerWaterllama before I can use it, especially with no indication that I need to wait.

I’ve also noticed that WatertrackerWaterllama is sending massive amounts of duplicate data to the Health app. I have a day in which WaterLama thinks I drank 55oz., but the Health app thinks I drank 604oz. because of all the duplicate entries WaterLama filed.

I really want to love WatertrackerWaterllama, and I even put some money into it to get all the features, but these bugs are extremely frustrating and have me looking at other apps.

I love that WatertrackerWaterllama syncs with Apple Health. The drink icons are cute. The animals are interesting and I prefer them over a wheel or a human figure when working to meet my goal. The watch app is a bit buggy and inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. For example, it would take my entry, and when went to add a second entry, the watch app showed I had zero intake for the day even though the first entry was transferred to my phone. My requests for additional features: 1. I'd like to be able to see my history and some fundamental statistics, i.e., progress over the last week/month/quarter/year/all/custom date range in the form of graphs: total fluid intake over time, caffeine intake, percentages of different drinks (of my total fluid intake, what percentage was from soda?), etc. 2. I'd like the ability to edit the drinks I've entered directly instead of having to delete the entry altogether and then add missed drink. 3. It would be fantastic if WatertrackerWaterllama could scan bar codes to enter new/custom drinks with the correct nutritional information (caffeine, calories, etc.). Overall, a useful app; however, I think as it is, it should be free (or at least much less than $8) and I harbor some buyers remorse. If the additional features I suggested, I think it is worth a small one-time fee (but still not $8). Hopefully, the developers will continue to add useful features such as editing and visual history tracking.

I initially really liked WatertrackerWaterllama. I liked the concept of filling up the llama, it’s very motivating. The reminders worked on my phone. I loved that it had a widget available too! It is supposed to work on my Apple Watch as well, but it just constantly tells me to activate it in WatertrackerWaterllama . I’ve looked and there’s nowhere to do so, and deleting and reinstalling didn’t help either. I also didn’t like that there isn’t a graph or easy way to view history. I had planned on paying for premium after a week if it ended up meeting my needs, but I think I’ll have to try something else that will work with my watch. I do think the ability to delete drinks should be an option, I was really surprised that wasn’t part of free. I accidentally “pocket added” like 32 oz of water and tried to delete it but wasn’t able to, which was frustrating.

by Chattyunicorn

I’d say my rating is more of a 4.5, but no half stars. Used WatertrackerWaterllama for about a day and loved the UI and the characters. There are lots of drink options with ability to add more and did I mention the fun characters? Found it to be a fun way to log water. I was using the free version and fortunately caught the 50% sale and purchased it immediately. Thought it was a decent bargain at that price. Prefer the apps that you pay once and it’s yours forever over the continued subscription. With that being said there are two trivial things that irk me. Drinks can only be added or deleted. Would love the option to edit the amount. Learned the hard when I made a mistake on the amount entered. Also, would be nice if characters would change automatically each day, instead having to manually change them. Regardless, WatertrackerWaterllama is great. Fun, vibrant and I want to keep using it.

I love WatertrackerWaterllama. It took me a little bit to get into it, but once I did, I became obsessed with it. I currently have a streak of over 100 days drinking 70+ ounces. It’s seriously helped me and it’s super cute too. I love how easy it is to add drinks throughout the day (buying the premium version was completely worth it to me too bc I can be forgetful and adding drinks late saved my streak so many times 😂). I also love the new frequent amounts update - it makes it really easy to add the amounts that I drink often. My only complaint is that WatertrackerWaterllama used to randomize the character you’d be filling up that day from those you’d collected. I don’t know if I accidentally changed a setting or something but it doesn’t do that anymore and I miss it. Regardless, I love WatertrackerWaterllama and I’m basically a walking advertisement for it. Any time one of my friends brings up water, I go on a 5 minute tangent about it. It’s amazing.

by Rxf27

I love the cute animal characters that represent your goal fluid intake amount. (You get to choose the character for the day, then its silhouette stays on the screen as you log your drink intake - when you hit your goal, the whole animal character appears in celebration!) I love that WatertrackerWaterllama, while paid, is about as inexpensive as you can get - one time, no subscription, no hidden costs, no “next level features” to unlock. I love that the creators of WatertrackerWaterllama support their native Ukraine through notes to users and their color choices for WatertrackerWaterllama . The way in which you unlock all the characters is to meet your goal intake - each day, you can unlock another character, until you’ve collected them all.
Highly recommend.

by Sazimm

I always meant to load up on water but never seemed to drink enough. Now my friendly llama reminds me to drink and it’s not in an obnoxious way. I’m consistently drinking 65-70 ounces each day and feeling great! One caveat though, since the first day I let my intake go well into the evening and was up, visiting the bathroom all night. Now my cut off is 8pm and all is well. *I had a thought for the developer. Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to have the day begin with a blank animal that reveals color and detail as water, or other liquids, are added? I think that’s more of an incentive to a person who wants to track intake. Just my take, but thanks for a great app designed to promote health.

UPDATE -question for the developer- I’m still loving WatertrackerWaterllama but I’m puzzled as to why my llama does not work on both my phone and my iPad. I generally input info on my phone but even though WatertrackerWaterllama shows on my iPad it remains empty.

by Tmclifton95$

This is the best water app I’ve found! I just wish you could add other beverages without buying something to do that! I’m a Wellness & Health Advocate and me and the team I’m in use apps like these to track our water and more water helps our products work better! This is a super fun app and it’s not annoying and it inspires you to drink more water just sometimes wish there was more reminders if I forget and don’t drink after the time it reminds me I don’t see another reminder til I drink water and add it and I tend to forget to drink water after the alarm goes off and need more fun reminders to drink water 5-10 minutes after the initial reminder! Other than that this is a great app and I highly recommend it!!

by Polkadots2359

I’ve used WatertrackerWaterllama to track my water every day for over a year now. This is no small feat as I am constantly trying to download new apps to help me remember things and I usually only use them for a week or two before stopping. But WaterLlama is my favorite!! I paid the one-time amount to use the version where I can edit and go back and add drinks. This is super worth it to me because I am forgetful. Also, this seems like a small team of developers and they’re constantly working to make WatertrackerWaterllama better and add new things. WatertrackerWaterllama is so cute and super user friendly. I love that it has a widget I can use on my Home Screen to quickly add drinks.

The only things I wish was different: I wish some of the challenges weren’t weight-loss focused. There’s some that I would gladly try, but I’m turned off by the fact that it’s “diet”-focused. It would also be cool to have a setting to turn that off (for people for whom that might be triggering) and to have an option that recognizes non-dairy lattes, as I never drink dairy (but that’s a super minor point!).

Otherwise, totally love WatertrackerWaterllama !!

Despite water being a necessity for life, I have the hardest time making myself drink enough of it. It’s so easy to get immersed in work, life, anything else.
I’ve tried other things. I even got one of those annoying water bottles that lights up to remind you to drink. Killed the batteries quite quickly, then the spares, and there ends that tragic tale.
Since downloading WatertrackerWaterllama, I have not missed my water consumption goal a single day, because I can’t bare the thought of not filling up my llama. 🦙
I sent an email with some feedback after being unsure how to log my meal supplement shakes, and they replied to me within hours to let me know that feature will be available to me soon. Within HOURS. 🤯
Huge fan. I thank you, my kidneys thank you, my urologist thanks you. 🙏🏻 6/5 stars ⭐️

I’ve tried a bunch of other water tracking apps, but if you are looking for one this one is the best one ever 🥰! I had a question and they answered it the next day😁! That’s actually pretty fast! And by other reviews I know that they take suggestions! It’s really good without premium too! Since I mostly drink water🌊 (and Gatorade haha not sponsored) it’s pretty good without but personally I would like to help out this wonderful company by getting the premium!😌 Now it’s not like any other premiums that I’ve seen! You can pay the one time pay (7$) or pay (4$) monthly which isn’t a lot at all. I look forward to paying monthly in the future to support WatertrackerWaterllama more. I’d have to say this is the cutest,best, and most supportive app I’ve ever had! 🌸10/5! I’m about to share this with my family and my bestie! They will love it! Thank you for your time and your great customer service! 💕-Beanzii🥰

I have tried several other apps for hydration. I think WatertrackerWaterllama is the best hydration app in WatertrackerWaterllama Store and certainly a five star rating. WatertrackerWaterllama provides Apple Watch support with complications on the Apple Watch screen. This includes a closure ring or the actual consumption amount (seeing the consumption amount each time I look at my watch is the motivator for me).

I appreciate that WatertrackerWaterllama does not require a subscription (although available). The one time charge of $6.99 (also not required but does allow you to create pre-programmed cup sizes on the phone app) is really not a lot to ask given WatertrackerWaterllama really does influence hydration habits.

I reached out to the developer with a question and received a very fast response. One thing I’d like to see on the watch app is the ability to program the specific cup sizes that show by default. This allows their selection with a single tap. For instance, I use bottle sizes of 18, 24, and 32 ounces. It would be great if the 3 cups on the (watch) app screen could be configured to 18, 24, and 32 ounces respectively.

by BookLioness

Being busy through the work day, I wanted a way to track my fluid intake. I found this and at first tried the free one. I enjoyed it so much I paid the one time minimal charge. SO worth it. I can set my weight, surrounding environmental temperatures and it calculates how much I need per day. I can set reminders and how often I want them. The characters make it fun, and the unlocking of new ones with successful goals is great. You can choose specific beverages, not just water, as well as the amount to log. It connects with my Apple Health and Apple Watch beautifully. I’ve shared this with all my family and they love it. My diabetic husband uses it, too. Also, it automatically removes your intake should you partake in alcohol and tracks caffeine with coffee or tea. It’s just perfect.

by SuperfanMarkDA

Last week I achieved my “100th consecutive day” of properly hydrating my body. I know hydration is essential because the makeup of our bodies is at least 70% water! But I needed a cute and fun accountability partner to help me drink what I knew I should drink!
There’s something fun about seeing a new animal character each day that keeps the project positive.
I’ve done some of the added 5 day challenges which break up monotony.
My wife teases me about exploring so many apps. I respond that I have to sift through several to find one that is easy yet powerful and useful yet beautiful. (She has added Waterllama on her phone and drinks much more water now)
If you want to add one of the most beneficial health habits to your lifestyle, drink enough water (and why not have fun doing it with Waterllama)!

If you’re like me you don’t drink enough water on a daily basis. WatertrackerWaterllama will help you with that. I love that it has a smart reminder, many of the other apps I’ve tried make you set up your own schedule, which who has time for that. This one does the work for you but you can customize it if you want. All the characters are super cute and it’s encouraging to see them fill up the more you drink whether it be water, coffee, tea, soda, etc. the water is factored in to reach your goal. I also like the challenges to further motivate you. You can definitely use the free version but it’s not to much to pay to get all the fun and customizable features. Not only is it a great app but their customer service was quick to respond and friendly when I had a user error.

by Seymole

I’ve only been using this for a day and I love it! The only thing I’d like is to be able to customize the amount of water that’s in the quick add bar, if that makes sense. I’ve tried to change it but I must be doing something wrong. I have a 24 oz. water bottle so I have to either add 12 oz. twice or drink one and a half bottles and then add the 32 oz. (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing!). This feature would be nice on the watch app at least, since you’re working with a smaller screen and less functionality.

Other than that, keep up the good work!

***Update: I was making things more difficult for myself, there is a way to customize the quantity of fluid other than the ones the pre set ones. The developer responded to let me know. An ID10T error on my part.**

by AppleJuiceAndCake

UPDATE: The most amazing customer service I have ever gotten! They really took my suggestion to add caffeine customization seriously and implemented it into WatertrackerWaterllama . They even remembered to personally email me back and update me on the suggestion. Vitalii, Polina, and everyone at WaterLama are spectacular! Wonderful app run by wonderful people. 🦙💧

Normally I do NOT buy the premium versions of apps but this felt like such a positive investment in my health and well-being that I made the jump!

I am one of those people who, despite my best efforts, can NEVER get enough water throughout the day. WatertrackerWaterllama has really helped me kick the bad habit of not drinking enough. I feel so much more energized and happy. I am so glad I found WatertrackerWaterllama! I love using it and feeling accomplished at the end of the day! I am so impressed by WatertrackerWaterllama. Although it seems simple, it makes such a big impact on my life!

by Ginge104

I love WatertrackerWaterllama. I have been using it for a while now, and tracking my water could never get more simple using WatertrackerWaterllama. I have premium, but even without premium WatertrackerWaterllama would be amazing. I love the Apple Watch app and how simple it is to track your water right from your wrist. The art and overall style of WatertrackerWaterllama is super cute also. One thing I don’t really get is that “Weight loss sloth” and “No cheat cheetah” are very similar programs, but I don’t care much about that because it’s not like it makes WatertrackerWaterllama bad. Please download WatertrackerWaterllama! I noticed that I was not drinking enough water and ever since I downloaded Water Llama I have reached my water goal and stayed hydrated. Overall, Water Llama is a well-made and super helpful app and I would recommend it to anyone who struggles with proper hydration or just wants to start tracking their water intake.

by Kkoehl7

I love WatertrackerWaterllama! Such an amazing idea and I have so many other ideas I’d like to share with you. I’m not sure it would help but something that I’ve thought about. Have you considered branching out from just animal designs? What about different types of flowers? Or objects such as a school bus, a water bottle, or a soccer ball? Those would be so much fun! Another thought I had was a birthday design. What if you prompted people to put in their birthday and then on their birthday the design could be a birthday cake and they don’t get it unless they do it that day? Would that be cool? I hope this helps and I will definitely recommend WatertrackerWaterllama to all my friends :)

-I also wanna say, whoever is behind the developer responses, they’re amazing! The best customer support I have ever seen on WatertrackerWaterllama Store and they really know how to be honest and respond in clever ways👏 where are your hiring positions?

by Jbrondyke

WatertrackerWaterllama is easy to use, super fun, and really visually appealing, and after just a day of use I purchased the full version, which is a rare occurrence for me and my penny pinching ways. I love that it’s straightforward and not bogged down by a bunch of other health-oriented tracking and tips. Having the ability to track all liquids is awesome, and I love being able to see how much they effect hydration. I would give a full five stars if you could look back at your specific drinks throughout the day (I.e., if you could see that your first glass of water was 20 oz, your coffee was 12 oz, second glass of water was 10oz, etc.). So there’s a little room for improvement, but otherwise it’s a great app.

by Carlid13

I used PlantNanny for a while until I just got overwhelmed by the notifications. After a hiatus from hydration apps, I thought I’d give this one a shot and I really enjoy it! I’d like the option to see the progress (maybe all of the llamas from the week) or have a different caption when I share (it’s been “coffee (day of the week)” every day, even though my intake is one cup of coffee and the rest water). If I invite friends, I’d like to see their progress as well, maybe friendly competitions or accountability between friends? Otherwise, I got the $10/year subscription, am happy to support a small team, and excited to see further developments!

by Jacquilmt

I love WatertrackerWaterllama, I think it’s super cute. I did get the premium version because the other animal options are adorable and it’s nice to mix it up. I like that it gives you all beverage options and not just water. I used to use plant nanny but it ended up being more annoying and chore like. Again, giving you the water content of all your beverages is more realistic and fun.

I was doing the sober bear challenge and it just booted me and I have to restart. Not too big of a deal but it’s annoying and it was motivating me especially during lockdown. Also, it’s not allowing me to contact y’all via email because it says I need to set one up but there is no option to do so- that’s why I’m leaving this comment.

by Pumba17

I have not been great about drinking water and looked at about 10 pretty cool apps but LOVE this one. Reason, it very simply calculates how much water you need to drink for the day then has a simple way of allowing you to add what you’ve drank and easily (and humorously) shows how that relates to your daily goal. I really like the options of drinks it allows you to enter as well, from coffee, soda, tea, to in my case yesterday, whiskey.

Great app, the folks who developed it are also highly responsive and kind if you have questions so you can’t go wrong. In short, an easy way get into the habit of doing what we should all be doing anyway! Hope you are all safe and well! Tony

I never write reviews, this is my first review ever. But I am impressed enough to review WatertrackerWaterllama. I have tried many water trackers and they all seem to be missing something. For WatertrackerWaterllama the developers seem to have thought of everything.

You can log water, it’s pretty easy to adjust the ounces. You can also log other beverages and it has a drink/water ratio. So if I log milk it gives me the ounces of water in the milk. There are cool challenges and really cute characters. Also, you can delete drinks or add missed drinks, both great features.

I very rarely pay for a premium app, I just use the free version. I switched to the premium version right away, again because of how impressed I am by WatertrackerWaterllama.

Customer Service is outstanding. I asked a question and made a suggestion. Both times the developer responded within a few hours.

I do wish they would add a FAQ section. I needed to delete a beverage I added and it took me a minute of clicking around to figure out how to do it.

I’m interested to see what other apps these developers made.

by Saaaaaangie.

I love WatertrackerWaterllama , pretty to look at and simple to use. I will say that it irks me to see coffee, soda and other caffeinated beverages as “hydration”. I understand that a cup of coffee doesn’t equal a full cup of water to WatertrackerWaterllama , but if anything a cup of coffee or soda should negate your hydration llama, not add to it. I feel like this is going to give people the wrong impression of water intake.
The water in soda is no longer water, it’s sugar and dyes and caffeine and more sugar. The concept of tracking these drinks is great, but the idea that they add to your overall hydration is RIDICULOUS.

The overall app is outstanding though and I’ll be looking to buy the full version once more updates come around.

by Penguin12345kellyc

One of my health goals was to increase my water intake but I struggled to stay consistent with it. I found WatertrackerWaterllama and I absolutely love it. It’s really fun to see the llama fill it. I’m excited to try the other animals as I go to change it up. It is easy to use. I did upgrade with the purchase to be able to add water consumption from all types of fluid intake. There are other challenges too that I’m excited to try. I really enjoy the reminders I can set and make it custom to what I need (timeframe and how often the reminders are sent). It’s nice seeing the progress I’m making so I know how well I’m doing or when I need to step it up.

by RangerDenni

I paid for this immediately. I thought “it’s sort of sad that I have to pay this much to remind my ridiculous self to do a normal adult thing,” but I do, so I paid because this is where we are in society and WatertrackerWaterllama has thought and love behind it and it should not have to be Technologically Frustrating to drink water. Anyway, I am a much more charming person with better skin after only five days or so...behold how my life has improved! I say to all the healthy people around me. It might be nice to be able to change amounts retrogressively but this is a small, small thing that can be worked around easily and doesn’t really matter.

by TheAdamKramer

I have been absolutely loving WaterLama!

I downloaded it after ordering a new 500ml water bottle, with the desire of upping and tracking my water intake, and measuring how often I was peeing (not the purpose of WatertrackerWaterllama , but I made a funny workaround).

It’s super easy to log water from WatertrackerWaterllama , iOS widget, and even my watch. You can setup default sizes and drink types, which made it easy to make the “Water” drink match the size of my new water bottle for quick entry each time I finish the bottle. I even added an additional drink type called Pee (NO I don’t drink that haha...just for keeping track!) with a 1% water content so that it doesn’t really mess with my actual water tracking, but let’s me still keep track of the circle of H2O life.

Data is king, and I really feel so much more informed about my body - and perhaps the best things are that I’ve been less hungry, more productive, and feel the desire to be more active.

Pretty sweet results all around! Thank you WaterLama!!!

by Sexybuttplug

WatertrackerWaterllama is much better than the rest. Let me start off with their amazing support team. Had issues with purchasing, they answered right away to me, and were able to help me resolve the issue by the next day. Most other water trackers have you create your own reminders to hydrate. But WatertrackerWaterllama watches when you last drank some water and creates notifications around that as well as your daily goals. I have yet to try many of the features, but I hold the dev team and support in very high regards, beautiful, minimalistic, and very helpful and all sorts of ways

by JessEmily18

I tried tons of water tracking apps before finding this one and for me, it’s a keeper. The interface is clean and user friendly. It’s easy to add the preloaded drinks and to customize your own. The iPhone widget works very well to quickly add water. Of course, The characters are super cute and I love the bright colors. Also it’s much appreciated that WatertrackerWaterllama offers a one time purchase option in addition to the increasingly popular subscription model. I bought the full version on day 2, not because the free version was lacking but because I like it so much.
