Drinker's Helper - Drink Less
gamed ratingA CBT-based alcohol consumption tracker with support groups, a journal, and educational courses on the mechanics of addiction. The approach works: users say they understood for the first time why they drink. But the product falls short technically. Not optimized for modern iPhones, streak resets on missed days, and the counter is not cumulative.

About the rating
Store avg 4.63, but text avg 2.23 and only 10% five-star reviews. One of the largest gaps in the sample. The overwhelming majority of real text reviews are negative. The store rating clearly does not reflect actual user experience.
Strengths
What users love
- Educational courses on the reasons and mechanisms behind drinking provide real understanding. Support groups without requiring Facebook. A personal approach with calorie and money tracking.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Not adapted for notch iPhones: buttons in corners are unreachable. The streak resets if you do not open the app. The counter shows data for a period rather than cumulatively. Content is oriented toward heavy alcohol dependence
- Not suitable for people who simply want to drink less.
Who it is for
People who want to understand the reasons behind their drinking and are willing to commit to a structured program with group support.
