Hydro Coach - drink water for Android
I love this app it's so super easy too use and makes me realize how much water I need and how much I was lacking.. I've drank so so much water since I started this app. Some days are hard cause with my height and weight they recommend 97oz a day but I'm getting much closer every day. I try so hard to achieve that goal it's got me back on my coffee,tea,and soda so YES I RECOMMEND THIS APP TO EVERYONE!
I didn't know how this app was going to work out for me, but once I set it up a bit better and all I love it!!!! The reminders actually help to remind me to drink more water rather than me just ignoring them. I really do like it. Like any other app I wish there wasn't a pro option and I would like to be able to add my water through the notification without having to go pro. I work with children so I can't always sit and load up the app but all in all I really love it!!!!
UPDATED: After uninstalling and reinstalling the app, twice, the ads finally disappeared. With that issue sorted, the app is handy and well made. I would like to see custom water sizes to reflect non-metric measurements. I usually drink pints of water (560ml), which I cannot apply to glasses within the app, instead I must use bottles 1/2 full. It's a little issue but with all the customisation options, it seems odd to not have pints. OLD REVIEW: Paid to remove ads. Ads were removed. Opened the app again later and the ads are back. I select remove ads and I'm asked to pay 99p again.
I appreciate the scheduling component. The ability to accommodate my schedule is very useful as I don't want to constantly be interacting with the app unless I'm tracking water. Additionally, it would be nice to have the ability to automatically set water mounts for certain days of the week when activities occur like workouts, cleanses, massage, or with certain meds when increased water is important. Possibly a manual option to increase by percentage in the daily diary. B+ bc the ads are over the top.
Pretty nice. Has a widget so it's easy to see the status. Would be cool if you could customize the shape and color of the containers to make them match real life. The amount the app tells me to drink seems low. O_o Would be nice if I could mark which days I train/sauna and it would make me drink more on those days.
Allows you to keep track of your daily water requirements with ease. I really like the function wjere you can choose the amount of water you drink in ml for every glass of H2O you drink aa it may vary. The only real downside is the ads but they arent long videos, just popups. Small price to pay.
Within a few days I went from struggling to drink one 8 oz. glass of water a day to easily drinking more than 60 oz. a day. I think I finally understand how water is good for weight loss... drinking the right amount of water AND drinking it at the right time. This app is awesome!!!!! Two things I would change: 1) I don't think other drinks provide the same hydration as water so I do not think they should be displayed. 2) I wish there was a quick numeric option for logging (ex. type in 8.3 oz.)
I'm always wondering how much water I'm drinking. This is a great way to remind urself or just keep track. It allows u to create any amount, dif notifications & no ads. I thought that since it has the game symbol that u need Google Games to play, but that's not the case. It could be considered a game if it helps u, but water is a necessity. Drink up!
Love this app! I never leave reviews but this app really has helped me remember to hydrate. Before I would go all day with drinking only 1 drink without realising . Now I'm starting to recognise when im thirsty and drink something. I tried many different apps, this one I like. Thanks a bunch❤️
This is the best app that I have come across. It has motivated me from drinking 5 cups of water per day to easily consuming 10 cups per day in less than a few days. I know that this app may not be suitable for my following idea, but I now go to the toilet more frequently. Being able to track my urine could be an idea.
It's great. Incredibly easy to use, very helpful as it takes into account a lot of factors to suggest the required amount of daily water intake, it's got a fun interface as well. My only gripe with it is 2 different things to pay for, premium automatically changes the water intake based on local weather but removing ads is then another separate cost.
This app is amazing. I did not know how much was the proper amount of water in take until I started using this water app, omg hands down one of the best app for me. Before I start using this water app I would probably have like one or two bottles of water for the day, now the water app having me drinking LOL 9 bottles of water and am speaking of 500 mL bottles. It is a blessing, I know that water is important but first time I would only drink water when am thirsty, but now I have a better understanding of how to drink water. I also noticed that I would go to the bathroom way more frequently now to do # 1 and 2, my skin is glowing more than ever and last but not least am losing weight. THANKS WATER APP!
I used to be pretty unmotivated with drinking water- barely consuming half a litre each day, but this app is simple and efficient, which is why I love it. It doesn't take long to input how much you drink, so I don't see it as a chore everytime I log in my water consumption. It makes drinking water fun and I feel amazing!
Like that it syncs with fitbit--and fast, but the lack of a smartwatch alarm is a deal breaker. Didn't remind me via my LG watch to drink like a competitors app does. Also, adding reminder times didn't work. And no option for coffee.Fix those things I'd pay for pro. Nice you can change reminder sound.
I used to drink less that half a liter of water per day; in barely one day, I started drinking four times that amount and, somehow, I feel so much better now that I do! What did the trick were the constant reminders to drink water: I didn't just have to record the number how times I drank but the amounts, too, and I was reminded to drink when I wasn't drinking enough! This app is just awesome!
My wife told me about this app and I decided to give it a try, it's fantastic! It Calculated how much water I needed to have daily and now I am not only drinking my water but I'm drinking the amount good for my body and then some. I've told so many people about this app and the benefits. Great job Hydro Coach!
Good app. Almost done with/chemo so I can get dehydrated. Waited from Windows phone to Android and found this little app. Still learning. Please know it helps.
It is a fully functioning app, no complaints just one (the reason why I uninstalled and used a different app), it doesnt show how much water you have consumed. For me knowing so helps me input how many ml I drank from my bottle in case I forget (i use a 750 ml bottle -no glasses). Also it motivates. So I was disappointed when I didnt see the amount of ml consumed
The gentle reminders and constant encouragement helps me a lot. I love this app. Have had it installed for 3 days and it reminded me to stay hydrated. My skin is feeling wonderful. Definitely worth installing. The ads are annoying, but everybody's got to make a living...
I always knew that I wasn't drinking enough water but only after installing the application I realized how little water I was actually drinking. The application uses simple and funny techniques that make you want to drink water. This app is funny and effective. 5 star from me as far as the application is concerned. However I like to suggest a paid version without ads
It notifies me to drink water throughout the day. Not annoyingly but noticeable enough. I could not ever hardly hit my daily goal but with this app it's not hard at all. One less star because of ads... but I can bear with that as long as they're the ones that keep this app free.
I have downloaded new water tracking app after water tracking app. I have given up over and over. HOWEVER this APP is the best!! I can see a visual dial to see how much further I have throughout the day! Not just some random number that means nothing to me! I started doing this myself on paper but this app replaced my pen and paper!! And the reminders throughout the day actually work!!
Overall pretty good. The reminders and information on why water is so good is motivating to me. The reason for 4 stars is that the syncing with fitbit is a little sketchy. It doesnt do it automatically which is weird. I have to go into fitbit app and open the water section for the day, then it is pulled over. Maybe its fitbits issue. Suggest in the future linking into myfitnesspal since its very popular app.
This app is bomb and helps me keep track of my daily water intake. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now and ever since, I have not been tired during the day. I have been sleeping better other than the fact that I have to get up in the middle of the night to go WIZZZZ!!! It's great and I highly recommend it!!
Simple and easy to set up and use. Didn't realize how little water I actually drank through the day. This app prompts and reminds you to take on water at regular intervals. A good way to help you lose weight, flush out excess salt and keep your skin healthy. Its a win, win, win!
I have noticed such a difference in two weeks. This app is the absolute best. I didn't notice that I wasn't drinking enough water before. There are alot of ads but you have an option to hide them for a small fee. (I'll deal with it...lol) I feel so much better, even my psoriasis has improved. Great app!
The app is great, my only problem is that I work 12 hr rotating shifts on 4 different rotations.. You can only set the reminders for time frames with no overlap with days of the week (basically, if you have a time set for Mon, you can't have a different time frame that includes Mon)... I need multiple different time frames, some for weekdays, some for weeknights and some for weekend days and some for weekend nights, and some for off days... My schedule is crazy and this app doesn't accommodate for my schedule very well. (I hope this makes sense.) for instance, my alarm clock app offers multiple different time frames to set different alarms. This would be a nice addition.
Very good for motivating you to drink water and really pay attention to how much water you need. The only thing I wish it had that it doesn't is I wish it had an option to enter caffinated and alcoholic beverages so it could add more water to your goal. It's a very nice app a great way to stay hydrated
No better way to detox yourself than with water! This app is easy to use and helps you set realistic targets for keeping up with your daily water intake. I feel better for it and this has definitely helped me with my weight loss ☺
This app makes it very easy and convenient to keep up with how much fluid intake you've received. No excuse whatsoever to be dehydrated while using this app. Well, unless you're lost in the woods or the desert lol
I wish there was a reminder i could set to remind me to drink more often then to just tell me im behind cus 16 oz in one sitting has me going to the bathroom too much. I work in an office. Remind me every hour to drink 4 oz instead of make up 16 4 hours later.
I've been using it for a few days now and I love it! I can calculate the amount of water I need per day depending on my level of activity It uses milliliters as well as ounces to tell me how much I need and how much in lacking every few hours depending on the container size I use. I would recommend it to anyone who forgets to drink enough water!
I like the aesthetics and customization of bottles, but It needs more options for how often to be reminded. I dont want to drink an entire bottle of water at once, id rather have notifications more often like 'hey, have you taken a sip of water lately?' So i can drink throughout the day rather than drink a whole bottle 3 times a day.
Great for keeping track, reminders are nice, info with the reminders are fun to read. The only thing I dislike, is with the way the ads work. I like ads, they keep things free, but they pop up when you are trying to hit buttons which results in clicking on the ad. I don't like that. 1 nitpicky things is the containers go from 8 to 20 to 40 oz. I sure you can adjust the 40 down but with most containers being 20 or 25, the pics look half empty. I would like a 30 Oz container to choose.
Great app! It has definitely helped me to improve my water intake. Love the reminders and that I can set different glass sizes. I think that the calculator may be incorrect though. It said I needed 2.4 litres daily but most other sites indicated 4l. I was able to override the calculation in the app and manually set my goal which was good.
I hate water. Like literally hate it. I have to make myself drink it and when I didn't have a reminder it was easy to forget it and put it aside. I got frequent headaches, was always tired and generally drank a lot of soda and monster. This app has helped me stay on top of it and I've been drinking 80oz of water daily for over a week. I feel great. And I never thought that I'd be able to get anywhere close to 80oz a day on purpose without drowning or being hypnotized.
The app works well however. My phone erased data but when hydrocoach resynced with my Google account all past data didn't restore just my account details. Another issue I've noticed is that even though auto weather is selected, the weather doesn't update automatically. I have to go into the weather section first for it to collect the current data which defeats the purpose of what could be a very useful feature. Otherwise I love this app
Only been using a few days but can already see the benefits. Only thing I wish I could have is a set custom volume of water rather than the default calculated volume. But it's not that hard to change every day.
I noticed I wasn't keeping properly hydrated when I got distracted by work throughout the day. The app is easy to useand fairly customizable. It's gentle yet encouraging with audible reminders, pop-up reminders, as well as fact and stats that come as additional reminders in your notification section when you need to drink. The informative blog is a nice touch too. If I keep this up I'd consider getting a paid version so I can track my other beverages with a distinction between how well other drinks hydrate.

This app was great for the longest time, but they must have updated it and it is full of bugs. The app shuts down on me a lot when I am using wifi or data. When I am not using wifi or data my water data amounts flash like a strobe light and it takes forever to submit more water data after I touch the add button. PLEASE FIX THE BUGS!!!
