Water Now : Drink Reminder 4+

Is a step up, with much more features for a modicum price. Miss the simplicity of my older water taking app, but it was missing too many (minor) features that this app really covers.

Only bug is that entering my actual weight does not work; keep imputing it on the main welcome page when you first download it (or after deleting it and redownloading again), and once you get pass that page, I can not find a way to tweak the weight (sex can be switched with almost a snap of the fingers over and over again, and I can’t find a true “user section” either, but, eh),… will wait for future updates/fixes

As a new user the most valuable tool to get me to like an app like this is Edit and Delete. I haven’t found either option in this app. Once you make an entry you can’t fix or delete it. Example, I added the two cups of coffee I had in the morning after I got into bed to read that night. I didn’t know yet that I could have edited the time but only before I pressed enter. I tried to delete them so I could re-enter with the right data (because it makes a difference I think in how they account for how much caffeine you’re drinking at night). No bueno. Not possible (or is that option hidden?) Also, I try to drink 8 glasses of water (64 oz) and changed what I thought was the default, but it’s still showing up as 45 oz. What’s with that?

Aside from that it seems like a good app. The data connects with other health apps. Very cool. You just have to remember to make your entry when you drink your choice of fluid. In short, the jury is still out on its usefulness for me.

I really like this app for the most part. It’s quite helpful in tracking fluid intake and it seems to sync well with Apple health. There are some frustrating parts though. The 4 drink type limit on the quick drink add is too few. When trying to add a drink that is not on the quick drinks list the process can be cumbersome and the process is NOT intuitive for folks who are not programming whizzes. In customizing a drink with caffeine- I could not get it to take the caffeine content into the caffeine totals. Also there are several different preset coffee drinks but no decaf coffee. When trying to customize one it deleted the regular coffee and I have never been able to recreate the regular coffee choice. So I basically have no way to track my caffeine intake. (Makes the whole stupid app worthless as a caffeine tracker which is one of the main reasons I purchased it ) This cumbersome process can make this app almost unusable for those folks.
