Drink Water Reminder N Tracker Reviews

by N'verinder

*EDIT* I have deleted DrinkWaterReminderNTracker after 24 hours. Even the watch interface stopped working correctly. Scrolling the Digital Crown would change the amount of ounces, and DrinkWaterReminderNTracker would reset it back to a minimum. Tried to force shutdown and try again, but didn’t fix the issue. I’m using a different water tracking app now, and it’s already proven much more effective and user-friendly than this one.

Setup is easy right up until you encounter the “water bottle” interface. As best as I can figure, DrinkWaterReminderNTracker assumes you’re drinking out of the same size bottle all of the time. Simply not ideal, for me or many others I would guess. I use a 24oz bottle at the gym, a 32 in the office, and a 20 at home. I have the interface set to a 32 oz bottle, but I have to use the watch interface exclusively to log how many ounces I’m drinking. I log when I finish a bottle, period. Using the phone interface require “filling” the bottle, and some backwards math when you log your H2O: you don’t really select the amount you want to drink, you select the amount left in the bottle? It makes very little sense, and makes the phone interface useless. The watch app does what I need it to do however, and it updates my Health app with my intake instantly. For free. So, 3 stars.

I have DrinkWaterReminderNTracker on my phone and watch, and I’m not impressed with either app version. On my phone, it won’t let me change my bottle size - it has a spot to change it but then on the main screen it’s still set to a different size. When drinking water, I can’t just select 8 or 20 or however many oz, I have to say how much is left in my bottle. On my watch, I can just select the number of oz and it subtracts it for me. However, that’s all I can do in there - see how much I have left to drink and mark how much I drank. I can’t see or do anything else beyond the single view. To select the number of oz in the watch app, I need to scroll the crown/dial on the watch, which could be fine if it weren’t a super touchy scroll - it’s hard to adjust it just 1 more oz if you’re trying to get from say 19 to 20 as your selection. It also doesn’t say in either app how much I did drink (says how much is left to reach my goal), and am wondering what happens if I drink more than my goal. I’ve used this for 2 days now and I couldn’t identify a way in either app to erase or adjust the amount of you accidentally selected the wrong amount, which is in part why I didn’t just scroll to drink more than my goal out of curiosity. And lastly, I went in the phone app to view History, but the only way it’s letting me view it is if I leave a review. Well, you asked for it so here’s your review. I don’t recommend DrinkWaterReminderNTracker. Find a different one.

Well DrinkWaterReminderNTracker is very well thought out, i can see what the designer was going for, but its not quite there; DrinkWaterReminderNTracker is buggy, the ads are annoying and tedious when you’re navigating the screens, especially during the initial set up when you have to change screens a lot. and again DrinkWaterReminderNTracker is buggy, it locks up, the num pad doesnt have an ‘enter’ button, so the box doesnt return when you’re done entering a number, you have to change tabs/pages and - boom another ad, then change back to the page where you can edit your settings, boom another ad. also it seems that the times the reminders doesn't adjust to your real schedule but is really just preset. i think a lot more math and calculation is needed here but the programmer didn’t want to spend the time to implement that... to me the subtle details make or break DrinkWaterReminderNTracker. in its current form i cannot see paying for it, or giving it higher than a 2 - i could literally program a reminder - alarm in my phone to do what it does, except i would then need to manually log the water in health kit... cool concept, sloppy execution, please continue to improve DrinkWaterReminderNTracker.

I don’t usually write reviews. DrinkWaterReminderNTracker is just ok so far, It is buggy and I often can’t get it to finish a bottle which results in me have to start over on a new bottle and somehow the water amounts get messed up. No way that I can tell to see how much water you’ve drank so far, can only see how much more you need to drink. Wish you could do it both ways. I also don’t like the fact that I have to constantly figure out how much I drank and subtract that from the water bottle you set at the beginning. I drink out of different glasses, cups and water bottles. So DrinkWaterReminderNTracker is tedious for me to use. It’s probably fine if you drink out of the same container all day.... Now I’m annoyed because I wanted to look at what I drank yesterday and a message popped up saying to write a 5 star review. Maybe I misinterpreted this but I’m uninstalling now with so many other water apps out there. I’m not writing a review, especially a 5 star review, just to use a feature. I don’t mind paying for features now, but don’t ask me to do something I don’t like doing.

I downloaded DrinkWaterReminderNTracker to use on my Apple Watch. The first two weeks was great, you set up what times you want to be reminded and you record the amount of water you have currently drank using the side dial on the watch. A couple days after January 1st, 2020 I began having issues using DrinkWaterReminderNTracker on my Apple Watch. After receiving a reminder to drink, I grabbed my water and took a few gulps then clicked on the notification on my watch and attempted to put in 3 oz. This became impossible as the the dial on the side would initially move to that amount I had selected but then shortly went back to the standard 6 oz. Even if I decided to accept that I could only input 6 oz, after clicking the “Drink Water” button the “Today I Still Need To Drink” would briefly decline with the 6oz removed then immediately go back to 83 oz. Please fix this glitch. Love DrinkWaterReminderNTracker and want to be able to use it continuously.

Added note: if you uninstall DrinkWaterReminderNTracker on your watch and then reinstall it DrinkWaterReminderNTracker will work for a couple days then the glitch happens again.

I see the last update to DrinkWaterReminderNTracker was 2 years ago so this seems like a waste of time but here goes. I just downloaded and so far I’m underwhelmed. The Help button takes you to their FB page, hardly helpful. Everything sees to be based in a bottle but I don’t get it. Why? I drink 12 oz if water and a virtual bottle shows a proportion empty. What does DrinkWaterReminderNTracker care how I get the water? If I drink a cup of coffee the level in the bottle goes down. Huh? There are bugs that must have been there forever. When I tap glass of water (this is how I drink water) it shows a 7 oz glass and I can’t find a way to change that. If I tap coffee there are overlayed characters with volume sizes from both coffee and water so they’re unreadable. All this is not so bad since most the time I would update from my watch, which defaults to (????) 2 ounces! It’s easy to change using the dial but why can’t I set the default ? Every time I want to update I have to dial to my glass size. Ugh. Last but not least the iPad app doesn’t have e a landscape mode and doesn’t sync with the phone so it’s only useful if you want an iPad only experience. All this and I’ve only been using it for about an hour. I’m still shopping. Will update this review if I find I missed something good but that still shows how poor the help is.

I do find DrinkWaterReminderNTracker useful in reminding me to drink my water throughout the day, and I also like how it works with my Apple Watch as well. I would like to see it be easier to record exactly how much you drink at each sitting, or with each reminder, as well as making the picture of the bottle with the measurements on it go up to 40 ounces, since 30 and 40 ounce water bottles are common. Mine is 30 oz, and it’s inconvenient to have to record it twice in order to get all 30 ounces to show up. Also, because it’s not simple enough to record how much I drink each time, I have to wait until I finish the entire bottle before I record it, and it’s not really that accurate because sometimes on the fly (I’m a nurse, so everything I do for myself is “on the fly”) I’ll drink a quick 4 or 8 ounce cup that I don’t have time to figure out on the water bottle picture with the slider thing, since I’m usually drinking from my 30 oz bottle.

Does what you want it to. The user interphase is a little clunky. They give you an amount of water to drink based off of weight, activity level, temperatures, etc. After that, however, they want you to determine how frequently you want to be notified with no option for telling you how much water you should be drinking. They give you a running total of how much water you have left to drink, but no idea of how much you should be drinking at each notification. So it’s easy to under drink and end up with a lot to need to consume at the end of the day, or you drink more than you need to early in the day and end up more total ounces by the end of the day (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). It would be nice to have DrinkWaterReminderNTracker tell you how much you should be drinking at each notification to meet your daily goal, rather than leaving that up to your guess.

Great potential. Definitely buggy. I was changing the notification sound and it would force close every time I played one. I didn’t get annoyed because I read the reviews and expected some kind of mishaps. Also, I like the look of it, but I feel like the interface can better explained. I had to mess around with the “drink water” part to fully get it. I did notice that you cannot change the amount of water you expect to drink without it changing your weight or vice versa 🤷🏾‍♀️ ...

For now, this is good enough. I got a HydroMate water bottle and their app is absurd. Being able to track my water while using the water bottle really helps. I also like that it syncs with the health app. I only typed this review because I wanted to view the “history” on the calendar. I cannot see myself buying the full version as it is now. Did I read correctly that it hasn't been updated in a year?

It’s actually kind of silly for DrinkWaterReminderNTracker maker to insist upon a review less than 24 hours after I download DrinkWaterReminderNTracker . Right now, it appears glitchy and difficult to manipulate; I do not yet know if it will be useful in the long run. I do not know if my issues are user error or app weaknesses; but since every time I open DrinkWaterReminderNTracker , I am interrupted with an insistence upon reviewing DrinkWaterReminderNTracker here you go...
So far; it doesn’t communicate accurately between the phone and watch. The watch is more user friendly except that the numbers are wrong because I had already entered data on the phone that day; which did not transfer to the phone.
The math seems backward. While I appreciate a countdown, I don’t know exactly how much I’m drinking at a time and I’m trying to double check between the watch and phone so I’m having to do a lot of extra math.
I hope DrinkWaterReminderNTracker works out, but it may just be more work than it is worth.

I had bariatric surgery less than a week ago and am struggling to get all of my water in each day, which is a very serious problem as that’s most of my diet at the moment. I looked through several apps and selected this one because I can create such frequent reminders, and I need to be sipping water throughout the day. I can also turn off sets of reminders during the times when I need to take a break from water before/after protein shakes.
DrinkWaterReminderNTracker does need a good bit of polishing, but it’s a solid tool and I went ahead and purchased it. My #1 issue is that the water bottle size cannot be set to less than 16 oz unless you switch over to mL, and the bottle on the main screen is small, so it’s a little difficult to make those small adjustments (1-2 oz at a time is my limit). This should in no way prevent you from getting DrinkWaterReminderNTracker , however.

I knew I wanted to find an app that could slightly be tailored to me as an individual meaning let me plug in my weight, bottle size and maybe some lifestyle elements, and then get a recommended daily target. Well, I can do two of the three with DrinkWaterReminderNTracker, and you can also set weather (only two options though). The notifications have been cool; I wish I had a smart watch for true integration because I don’t always keep my phone on me, but you can sync DrinkWaterReminderNTracker with Apple’s Health app.

I don’t like that the screen doesn’t refresh itself. I have to go out of DrinkWaterReminderNTracker and back in, or maybe to another screen within DrinkWaterReminderNTracker and come back to my “water bottle”. And I accidentally touched the screen and it moved my water line, so I will certainly be off today, so be careful of doing anything beyond clicking “Drink Water” and “Refill”.

Initial rating: 4/5

As a teacher, I need reminders to drink water so I wanted to try something free before I commit to any money spent. I downloaded DrinkWaterReminderNTracker this morning and already appreciate that it does remind me. I can ignore it if I’m busy at the time, but it helps keep water drinking in my mind. I don’t like a few things, however. I don’t like that it’s confusing how to add additional water/liquid I’ve consumed apart from the water bottle sitting at my desk...ie prior to downloading DrinkWaterReminderNTracker ...that was not intuitive. I also don’t like that the provided measurements are not realistic to amounts I drink and I cannot tell how to change them. For example, when I go in to add a glass of water, I want to add 12 or 16 oz, but I’m given the option of a “glass” as 7oz or “1/2 a glass” as 3 oz. Neither apply!!! I want to just be able to add “16 oz of water” or 8oz...you know, ONE CUP. 8 oz is a cup...not 7. That’s confusing. I’ll keep messing with it and maybe I can figure out a work-around. I also do t like having to write a review in order to view my “history”...but I guess it gets the company a review.

I love DrinkWaterReminderNTracker for reminding me to drink enough water and improve my overall health from it. It works with Apple Watch, so I get notifications even if I’m too busy to check my phone. I LOVE that the developers have even thought of allowing users to choose how often notification happens, what the notification sound is, and even what the notification actually says! I would’ve rated it 5 stars if It didn’t require me to write a review in order to use all of its functions, EVEN after I’d paid for the full version. Also, it took me a minute to figure out how to use the bottle on the home page it looks like it should fill up the bottle the more you drink. But it’s actually how you choose how much water you are entering that you drank. Maybe I missed a tutorial on that though (I tend to skip over those sometimes.) Worth downloading though and paying for the full version!

by ReneeBossLady

One of the hardest parts of trying to drink enough water for me is remembering. Then there is another issue where sometimes my son who is two years old and loves to drink with mommy drinks, tends to drink out of my glass. DrinkWaterReminderNTracker is awesome! I can show what I drink based off of the size of my bottle and how much water was in there to begin with and how much it looks like when I’m done. I have 32 ounce bottles that are unmarked, so this way I can track my water as I drink it rather than waiting until I drink the whole bottle to church the whole 32 ounces. It is amazing! Then if something happens to my bottle and I have to refill it or start with a clean bottle I can simply refill it and start over without it affecting the water that I am tracking in my charting. Great intervention for a chronically dehydrated person LOL🤗🙄🤩🤩🤩🤩

DrinkWaterReminderNTracker told me to rate it 5 stars for an achievement. But in reality it is a 4 star app. I love how it gives you your own goal according to the weather, your gender, and weight. Yes it has ads. Don’t let this fool you though because you don’t notice them. It’s not the type of ads that cover your whole screen. It links your data with the health app which is great if you have an Apple Watch. It’s not the kind of app that says “Drink 5 ounces now” You just put how much you drank whenever you want and the cool bottle goes down corresponding to your goal. I wish you could compare your data with friends or add some aspect besides just drinking. Highly recommend this free app that does a lot without taking up your space.

When I first moved to Florida, even with the heat, I was barely drinking 32 oz of water a day. It wasn’t until I lost my left kidney to two separate massive kidney stones and was told I have Stage 3 Moderate Kidney disease that I got serious. The kidney doctor told me I had to drink 104 oz of water a day. The well water down here is not drinkable and I detest water anyway so I wasn’t sure what to do. I finally started buying the carbonated canned waters that have no salt, no sugar, no calories. Initially I hated it every time the “drink water” alarm would go off. Still, at the risk of losing my remaining good kidney, I dutifully choked own a few ounces at the alarm. After a few months, of sticking with it, I am now easily finishing six 16 oz. containers of water daily. I still have a little way to go, but DrinkWaterReminderNTracker has saved my remaining kidney.

After over a week using app I’m pretty pleased. It would be nice if they added smoothies and wine to the list of drinks, also give you option to adjust quantity for each type of drink. Otherwise I’m very happy with DrinkWaterReminderNTracker. Don’t know if the climate (hot or cold) function adjusts the amount of water you should drink, because in hot climates you really need more water which I logically adjust for. I thought I was getting enough water but found I was way off. Your weight divided by 3 times 2 should be your target to start. I’m sure with increased exercise and heat you might consume more. Also found out it takes three months to get your body fully hydrated and another three month to get your cells fully hydrated. So it makes sense to have an app to remind you. I live in very hot dry climate so this is especially important.

This is a nice little app! I really like it and am pleasantly pleased. I downloaded to help obviously remind myself to drink water. I am an avid coffee drinker and my body over quarantine has definitely paid for the extra intake of caffeine. I used to be a water-holic and somewhere along the road it changed.I went on DrinkWaterReminderNTracker Store and was just looking for some thing easy to use, I gave notifications, and was compatible with my watch. I found this. I like that I can set a reminder for however often I want. I also enjoy that the intake amount is based off of your gender, your height, and your weight. When I don’t have my phone with me I can also just add my intake to my watch whenever it sends me a notification to drink more water. It’s basic, but in this instance basic is really good and beneficial.

How is it helpful you may ask when he gives me my reminder to drink water it makes a noise and it helps me get on a schedule with drinking water I’ve had DrinkWaterReminderNTracker for a couple months now and I just want to say for anybody reading this review that get DrinkWaterReminderNTracker because of how helpful it can be I know it’s tedious just to download an app and get reminders drink water and you can just do that yourself but it really makes a difference because if you can’t always get on a schedule drinking water this really does help you get on a schedule so please think about making a difference in your schedule and telling DrinkWaterReminderNTracker this is the best app that you ever get it free so that’s my review.

by LolaAg05

DrinkWaterReminderNTracker is so frustrating. The instructions are terrible. You can tell DrinkWaterReminderNTracker makers do not speak English. That would be easy to overlook if everything were intuitive enough to understand without instructions. I can’t understand the lines on the water bottle. It keeps showing me as drinking the whole thing instead of part.

And then on my watch is is very buggy. It keeps resetting the amount to drink to 4oz today. Every time I turn the dial to 8, it rolls back to 4. So I gave up and hit 4 drink water twice. It didn’t register me as drinking anything. I waited a while and closed DrinkWaterReminderNTracker and re-opened it. It showed me as having had some strange random amount of water.

There’s a history button in the phone app, I tried to tap it to see my past drinking history. But it doesn’t ever come up. All it does is ask me to rate DrinkWaterReminderNTracker every time I tap the history button. So here I am rating it. I am looking for a replacement to DrinkWaterReminderNTracker, because this one is too buggy.

by CClickity

Love the way the interface allows you to adjust the mount of water in your bottle as you drink. I do wish it had the option to refill before the bottle is completely empty, as I often take advantage of a refill station whenever the opportunity arises, topping off even if there is still water in my bottle.

My biggest criticism is the Apple Watch integration. It only allows you to log 3oz at a time and doesn’t clearly show that the entry has registered. The only way to be sure you have logged a drink is to check the tiny “oz remaining” number and make sure it changes. I wish the watch interface was more like that of the phone, but I realize that’s a big ask.

All in all, the best free water tracker I’ve found with somewhat decent watch integration and I’ve tried several.

by Burgmomma

I have felt that I have taken care of my health in all aspects and have wondered why I am still in pain. I finally figured it was probably because I don't drink a lot of water. These first couple of days using DrinkWaterReminderNTracker have really shown me just how little water I drink. I knew for sure that this was my problem. I have felt much more alive and refreshed after using DrinkWaterReminderNTracker to help me drink my water. The only problem I have is that there is so so so many ads. It's annoying to open DrinkWaterReminderNTracker , have a black screen appear, wait for a bit for the "x" to appear and spend much too long trying to actually press said "x" just to say that I've drank a couple ounces. I'd definitely recomend DrinkWaterReminderNTracker to everyone, I would just warn the about all the ads first.

by Jfit92

DrinkWaterReminderNTracker is wonderful. I like that it takes into account what time you wake up and what time you go to sleep, as well as the recommended water intake for your weight and height. As someone who is an avid weightlifter I need more water than normal so I can adjust the amount but it’s a very nice feature for anyone who is unsure of how much they should actually be drinking.

My favorite part those are the notifications they send you to drink and the fact you can set the size of your water bottle so it calculates it so you reach your goal. Ex: mine is a 20 oz bottle and based on how much water I want to consume and what time I wake up and go to bed it alerts me to drink 3-5 oz every 45 minutes.

It is a really great app to keep someone accountable!

by Elrugg

I’d been on a hunt for a free app to remind me to drink enough water. I wanted to be able to set a goal and log drinks from a watch app. I didn’t think it would be difficult to find an app that met these criteria but I tried numerous others before finding this. Several others had watch apps to view but not to add drinks. Others didn’t allow me to edit the goal beyond their suggested amount or to edit it high enough to cover my particular needs. I’ll admit, as a breastfeeding mother, my goal is far higher than most others but that’s exactly why I wanted an app. This one actually had nursing as an option, beyond being the only one that let me set a goal of a gallon of more. This is just what I was looking for.
