Carbodroid – Drinking Water for Android
I love this app because of its simplicity. I've tried other water apps but I always come back to this one. I would give it 5 stars if it allowed you to to update previous days, offered other water avatars or change the color of the current one, and being able to set reminders based on weekdays vs weekends. Those changes would make this a 5 star for me! Overall great app.
I like everything about this app except that I can't customize my intake goal. I would like to drink about 7000ml (about 2 gallons) but can't set the goal higher than 5000. I know I can drink past the goal but it's deceiving to see a full droid at 5/7 my daily goal.
This app inspires me to keep up my water intake. Since I have been using it I have noticed that my persistent joint pain has really gone down!
This has been a fun way to remember to drink more water. My kids love it too. When the alarm goes off they all look at me and say oh it's time to drink lol
I used to use Plant Nanny, but got sick of seeing intrusive ads that I couldn't even pay to disable. PN was also a resource hog. Whereas this app is straightforward, clean, simple, and attractive. And works just as well. Only thing I'd change is some of the options for preset glasses sizes (I've modified but some of the glasses in the scale I'd like smaller/larger than what's available in the range for that glass). Highly recommend this app.
The smiling android bot, or frowning if you don't drink enough, is a good motivator. Its super easy to set up and not complicated at all, unlike some other water apps I've tried.
Ive tried others but I had to come back, from time to time I get so busy that I can forget to stay hydrated. I will download this app and uninstall this app as needed. I don't want to see a chart I just want something to remind me and leave a notification in the notification bar on my cell phone also it's nice to make the carbodroid creature happy
It's easy and it helps me remember to drink water. I get too tied into work that I don't notice when I'm thirsty. I have it set to go off every hour. It's nice. I feel better and slept better because of this app. Thanks!
Helps maintain the body hydrated. Small features like adjusting time of intake (on same day) would help better tracking, as user could miss out entering sometime.
This is overall a cute and brilliant app, quite effective only thing I would say it would be good if you could adjust previous entries. Sometimes batteries run out!
Love this app I enjoy the notifications although they are not working at the correct times on my phone. It's flipped they're starting at my end time and stopping at my set start time. Please fix
As someone who needs constant reminder to drink enough water, this app is perfect. You can set reminders to go off as often as you like. Also, the ability to track my water consumption for the day and compare it to previous days is helpful.
It resets at midnight. I work nights so that means halfway though my "day" it automatically resets and i cant really keep track...i wish that you could set your own reset time...
I quite like it although I wish I knew the volumes of my cups! These aren't standardised so it was difficult for me to choose. Other than that, this is a good app to keep me hydrated!
I originally got this to replace another water app that bugged out on me. Took a bit to get into this app but now I find myself using it regularly. It does what its supposed to do. So good app. Bam done.
the first day the notification worked superb.. after tht they didn't come unless u reset the settings.. but otherwise an excellent app, helps a lot!
Nice little app for a "metrics fanatic" such as myself. Although I would like couple more features: 1) Edit your previous entry, not just delete it (in case you have tapped a wrong amount or done it much later). 2) Move the droid customization under the settings menu. I accidentally press the droid every once in a while and it opens up this neat but completely useless menu (to me). 3) I'd change the share icon to something else since it doesn't only share the results to twitter.
even feel guilty if you don't drink water... simple to use
Has i struggled to drink more water, I came across this app through a review. The utility of the app is amazing and I love drinking more water as I can control the reminders.
The interface is clean and simple. The bot gets happy when you drink the allotted amount of water. I hate to see it sad/dead lol. You can set what time you want the first and last reminder and whether you want it in oz or ml. I've only had this for two days now, but I have definitely been drinking the required amount of water so far..which is great, since I would barely drink any throughout the day. Thank you very much developers!
I love this app because of its simplicity. I've tried other water apps but I always come back to this one. There are a few features I wish it offered such as being able to update previous days, offering various types of water droids/avatars, and being able to set reminders based on weekdays vs weekends (Ex-weekdays I wake at 5 a.m, weekends 10 a.m.). Those changes would make this a 5 star for me! Overall great app.
It reminds you to drink water, every 2 hours or so. You can set the start and end times of when your day starts/ends. Wish it did a little more.. maybe add different beverages than water, etc. Some foods, veggies/fruits count to hydrate you.
1/7/16 Notification sound fails occasionally and I must reinstall the app, which doesn't always work. Please fix. 2/19 Still a problem on my Note4 running Android 5.1.1. I'd love to up my review rating because your app gives me features others don't: selection of containers displayed to choose from (some make you reset your 1 container choice) and notifications whether or not you log a drink. So great!
Love this! Quickest and most efficient water drinking app. Widget support would make it 6 stars!
Is it possible to add a 40 minute reminder. I drink a glass of water every 40 minutes and keep on forgetting as there's no 40 minute reminder. Thanks for a great app.
Reminds me to drink and tracks drink, very useful, looks good! Hardly any permissions, droid man is very cute too, 5 stars from me :)
I have a tendency to forget to drink throughout the day, so the reminders were just what I needed. I find that I feel so much better now that I'm running around in a near constant state of dehydration!
When you open app, there is a place to change the settings. You can change the times for reminders as well as glass size in ounces. ..love this app!
Absolutely love it. I set it to whistle on the hour. Reminds me often enough to get my water in without drowning. :)
I was looking for an app that would just let me keep track of how much water I drank on a daily basis and this does just that! I didn't want a reminder, and it's great there's an option to turn it off. I took off 1 star because it doesn't have the option to add my 28 oz water bottle.
Been using this since November and have been able to meet my water intake goals. Simple to use...reminder dings and you tap a picture...no brainer...love it...thank you so much!
Waaaaaaay better than "Water Your Body App," and this one is free, doesn't have annoying ads, and is a lot simpler (I'm not looking for things like the other app). Missing one thing though - more scheduling around when to skip notifications. There's some, allowing you to specify times when to notify / not notify, but doesn't allow you to differentiate a difference on the weekends. Should be a simple enough change to the app codebase. For all I know it's coming in a later release.
Fantastic app, keeps my water intake up with quiet, non-annoying notifications. Perfect and very customizable!
Simple, no fuss, easy to use, no annoying ads n is free.
Love the reminders, and making the guy happy, simple app does the job. Would be great if we could change bottles sizes with custom increments, to match regularly used vessels. I also REALLY wish there was a way to change the current days intake goal without altering past days goals. My goals do change based on activity, etc, but I'd like to see how well I've met hydration goals over time. I'll keep him. UPDATE: I don't know if there was an update, or I previously overlooked. Water entries CAN be deleted.
I would love to see custom water amounts. A standard bottle of water is 16.9oz. the 17oz option is driving my OCD wild, lol. 5 stars if implemented.
Muy buena aplicacion, simple, consume muy pocos recursos, realmente muy util para mi
I would like to edit previous days so my graph doesn't dip when I forget to enter the data.
Been drinking 3l of water a day since downlading this app that 3x what I normally remember to drink!

I looked at a lot of water drinking apps and selected this one for its perfect simplicity! So many apps require lots of personal information, but Carbodroid just reminds me to drink water. I don't have to enter lots of additional personal data...it is simple...no complicated steps to get started. Plus the cute Droid changes expression as I approach my goal.
