An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Before recent updates this was one of the best trackers with widgets, Watch, custom drinks, and a one-time purchase. After the updates: the Watch widget is broken (displays ml instead of oz), features that were free have moved behind a paywall, and the UI became what users describe as 'cartoonish'.

Screenshots

What people use it for

iPhone users without a Watch who are willing to pay once and want quick one-tap logging from a widget.

What reviews praise

A one-time purchase instead of a subscription is rare in this category and users mention it first.
The home screen widget lets you log with one tap without opening the app.
Supports multiple drink types with water content factored in.

What reviews complain about

An update broke the Apple Watch widget's units of measurement.
The interface regressed in usability after the update.
Features that were previously free moved behind a paywall without notice.

What users experience

4 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I have POTS, and it's so helpful to be able to add custom drinks and cups and add records just by tapping the widget once.

App used to be 5 stars, but an update forces the Apple Watch widget to only display units in milliliters even though all of my settings are in ounces.

I have been using this app for months to meet my water intake for my fitness goals. I liked this one specifically because I could track other beverages. NOW, all the sudden, they lock every drink but water, coffee, milk, and tea behind a paywall.

Taking away features and locking them behind a paywall is a bad look. I can't even input drinks from previous days anymore?
