Daily Water Tracker Reminder for Android

This app is poorly designed, or a scam. Your call. Look, it works well enough. Except… there’s no way to turn off the loud “cheer” effect when you add that you’ve drank some water. So unless you have your phone on silent when you’re out in public, expect to get some weird looks. There is an option to turn off the sound. And guess what? It reverts back on when you leave the app. On the payment page, I clicked the promoted “manage” button to cancel my subscription. Wow, can’t connect. Really? Had to Google how to unsubscribe from an app’s auto-renew. How many people never do that and just get billed monthly forever? (Plus other reviews mention that in order to use the free version after a week, you have to leave a 5-star review. Wow, THAT’S not scammy at all.) There are a billion water tracking apps out there. Support one that works how it’s supposed to, and isn’t shady.

How do I remove the ad at the bottom of the screen that is blocking the buttons I need to use?

A permanent ad banner blocks multiple buttons in the app, making it unusable. Smart design.

I don’t typically go for paid apps, but this one is important for my health goals. I’m pretty disappointed with my purchase. First, I have to turn the sound off every time before I add my water. Adding water with sound on when you’re husband is a sleep is not wise. Second, it’s super slow to open. I guess the good news is that I can drink a couple more ounces while I wait.

You get to use the broken version, which is okay I guess, and then you’re blocked from using the app at all. The whole time there is an ad blocking the buttons for adding or subtracting water. It’s crap.
