Water Tracker - iHydrate

authentic rating

App with a long history, but a business-model change completely destroyed user trust: all data was wiped without warning and paid features moved behind a subscription. Several reviewers write that they used it for 6 to 8 years and now have to find an alternative. Apple Watch does not load on newer models. Form submission buttons are unresponsive.

About the rating

Complaints about the same issues (data loss after update, paywall shift) appear from different users in their own words. Some reviewers report 6 to 8 years of use history.

Strengths

What users love

  • Before the model change it was one of the best trackers: a pie-chart progress view and flexibility without clutter.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • All historical data lost during an update with no warning. Forced migration to a subscription for features users had already paid for. Watch does not work on current models.

Who it is for

Hard to recommend in its current state. Only for people willing to start from scratch and pay a subscription for very basic functionality.
