Water Now : Drink Reminder Hack 3.0.0 + Redeem Codes

The functionality is amazing. I love being able to adjust all the drink settings as well. That being said, I wish we could increase the basic amount past what the apps limit is. A good rule of thumb from nutritionists is half ones body weight in ounces per day and the app will not allow this. Most importantly, the diuretic drinks need to take into account water loss. One will need to increase water consumption to counteract the loss from caffeinated drinks.
Other than nutritional lacks, the app works great!

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.

For a paid app with at least 2 paid tiers, the app itself + a drink customization tier, you expect it to work well. I’ve tried both 1.5 hour interval and timed water reminder notifications and they do not work. I don’t get any notifications on my phone nor my iWatch. (The notifications are turned on and I’ve selected times to receive them.) The WaterNow app does not appear in the main iOS notification settings list, either. There’s a misspelling of the word “goal” — “gaol” in the app — that I see every time I hit my daily water intake goal, and also a “most drinked” category, as opposed to “most drank.” It is also unclear as to what “Smart plan” is, but it is a toggle on the app’s settings. I also can’t adjust daily caffeine if I mistakenly add a caffeinated drink or type in the wrong amount in ounces. It is not reading my weight from the apple health app, either.

I was using the app quite a bit so I decided to support them by paying for the full version. The Lock Screen widget is nice for tracking my water intake and thought the Apple Watch widget would be convenient and worth it. I was shocked to see I paid for a Watch version that’s so messed up. It’s just listed as “gzhealth” and the icon is just blank, or a “- - -“ depending on the complication. It doesn’t show me my water percentage or *anything* for that matter. On top of that I thought my brain was messing with me and I wasn’t saving the disable notifications setting. Nope. I just toggled it off, closed the app and it’s enabled yet again. I tried to report some bug through the app but there isn’t such a thing in the app so here’s my review to save others’ money.

When I first tried it, I liked it and purchased it. After about a month it quit giving me notifications. I tried everything and then tried to contact the developer.
That’s the problem. Any contact or questions, you better know Chinese. I have no idea. I only know English.
I contacted Apple about the issue & they didn’t care. The gal kept telling me to contact the developer. I pointed out again that I don’t know English. After a few back and forth, she just said submit a suggestion to iTunes. Pathetic.
Such apps, at least, should not be in the English App Store if every help is in another language. There is no option for translation, so I’m stuck.
What a waste. Would’ve been a great app

Update September 10, 2022: The recent update broke the Apple Watch App. After launching the Apple Watch app, it simply closes again, hence making it unusable. Please fix this. Thank you!

I really love the app and it’s widgets. It’s just wonderful! However, one problem I have is, the Activity Goal is always there, even when I seemingly turn it off. So even if my basic goal is 3000ml, it always shows the additional 400ml as activity goal, even when turned off. And on the watch app it says “Most drinked” but it should be “Most drunk” (sounds like a drunk person though) or maybe “Drank most often”.

Very useful app keeps things organized, missing family organizer or job manager, missing notifications, missing health app symmetrical synchronization, missing permissions, missing scrolling on the quick drinks, Apple Watch missing scrolling up and down plus, missing swiping screens with dots! Other than that you can easily track you drinking for the best diet plan you can get.

I love the heart and stress monitor, so I bought this as a companion, but I’m finding that it’s not reading from the health kit. I use other apps to enter in my coffee and water, and although this is set to read from the health kit it never gets updated so there’s no information, I did not want to put this in a review but I could not find anywhere to get support from the author please if anyone knows how to fix that so that you can read from the Health app to acquire water and caffeine information I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Love the customizable features BUT after a week I’m already growing tired of fighting with the app. Glitches are getting frustrating. For example, my water goal setting will not stay where I put it. Entering data requires editing default entries. My accessibility features are not setting well either. The layouts don’t adjust to accommodate larger fonts. These are all well addressed in most apps in the world so this one feels inadequate to minimal standards of accessibility.

I like this app because it helps me to remember to take in fluids as. Sometimes I get busy and forget and when I catch cramps, I remember. I haven’t had any cramps since using this app. I have a concern. When I initially installed the app on my phone I wasn’t able to input my correct weight in pounds. I’m certain this affects my plan of fluid intake. How do I go back and input my correct weight?
