WaterMinder - App Review



We probably all know that drinking water is good for you... until some helpful person comes along and tells you it contains too much sodium, or whatever.

If you are keen on monitoring your progress, take a look at this App.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
When you first open the App you are invited to enter your name, weight and sex.

You'll probably want to go to settings next as, even if you've entered your weight in kilos, the default of glasses measured in U.S. oz is selected; this also allows you to set various other parameters such as badges, reminders, and shaking to undo, as well as adding custom 'cup' sizes.

Now, whenever you drink water, just tap the 'cup' size. The amusing graphic shows your body filling from your feet, until you are depicted as all blue.

A record is kept of your consumption, and can easily be analysed by today, week, month, and year, so that you can view your progress.

You can also export your water consumption to a csv file for inputting somewhere else.

Cost
The App costs $2.

Indispensability
You need to be the judge of this.

Dependability
The App is very easy to use and the dependability is really up to you remembering to input your water intake.

Security
This is a standalone App.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Useful if you want to track your water intake with a graphical representation.
