Giving it a shot! I’d be interested to hear more about how you calculate my daily goal.

Sure 😃 Your daily goal obviously differs if you exercise or if the sun beats down.
So we took that to heart, researched the recommended amount of water per person, and made Waterful automatically adjust each user’s daily water intake goal to their activity, gender, weight, and even weather conditions.
Pros:
- Personalized daily goal
- Non-intrusive reminders
- All features free
- The octopus!!
- Multiple ways to log a drink
Cons:
- No Apple Watch app :sli
Hey @zedzik! Glad you like Waterful. Happy to say our Apple Watch app is ready to go! 🔥 You can find it in the store (I can't add links here, I'm afraid)
Awesome idea. I for sure don't drink enough pure water daily. Awesome UX and design. Congrats.
@mickgriffin Awesome feedback, big thanks to you for giving our hydration app a try!
@_davisnz So glad you like our app, Davis! Let us know if there's anything you'd like us to add/improve in the upcoming updates :)
Just checked it out and it looks really nice!! Only a few tiny suggestions:
I love the onboarding and the sense that you are building a plan for me, but it wasn't entirely clear what the water icon meant (eg. was it supposed to be the amount I currently consume?)
You are almost there during the onboarding at fully convincing me of me being given a plan that is right for me, however it seemed as if you whatever I entered in the current consumption field you were going to a higher target. I think there needed to be some analysis there to say: "Hey Max, 2l per day is not bad but 4.4l is what you need based on your body in order to keep your brain ticking over, tackle premature ageing..."
All the animations and colours and super fun, big fan. The only super tiny nitpick is that the achievements section doesn't have rubber band scrolling for some reason.
Here’s the thing, @brandon_gregg, staying hydrated (instead of just sustaining the need) benefits your body and mind (e.g. help you focus, think, control weight, and improves mood).
@ivanna_wendel <3, we've put a lot of effort into creating a hero that keeps the element of joy in the whole habit building process
Thank you everyone for all your brilliant suggestions & uplifting comments so far! 🔥
@benoit_chambon Many thanks for leaving feedback :) Waterful will definitely benefit your sport sessions 💪 Can't wait to hear how you feel about the app in a few days!
?makers To increase usability I would recommend adding action buttons in the notification area. It's pain opening the app every time to update the status. Quick action buttons linked to the favourite drink can be of great help.

Water you up to, PH? ❤️
Super excited to share Waterful! — our fresh take on the world's most boring yet essential activity, drinking water.
You've probably heard of 8 cups of water a day. We all have. Odds are, you probably don’t drink enough though - 80% to be exact.
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
Water is pretty crucial to your brain function. It boosts your energy, detoxes your body and helps keep your weight in check, among a bunch of other very neat things. That’s quite a list of achievements for something that comes out of the kitchen tap. Yet, studies show that 8 out of 10 people don’t drink enough to benefit from all that goodness water has to offer.
Waterful is your opportunity to spoil yourself with proper hydration and beat the odds 🙌.
A LITTLE BACKSTORY:
So, we’ve been aware for a while how essential proper hydration is in dieting, mental health, fitness, beauty & overall well-being. But when we tested various hydration apps, they turned out to be impersonal & a bit joyless.
Clearly, we couldn’t let that continue. That’s why when we were making Waterful, one thing was clear as the freshest H2O. It had to have a soul and be fun. And then we thought, “what if your water reminder app was more like Tamagotchi?”
That’s how Waterful was born - a fun and friendly assistant that turns the mundane task of drinking water into a fun habit. Here’s how:
🐙 Unique app hero
Our adorable hydration coach cheers you on & keeps you motivated

One more thing ;)
We are based in Lodz, the most water-friendly city in Poland (https://www.euronews.com/2012/06...). It’s known for social campaigns encouraging sensible water use, active lifestyle, & highlighting the importance of proper hydration
Also, many thanks for the hunt, @chrismessina 🙌
This is our first PH launch 😱, We hope you give it a try
Thanks to everyone for your support. Please give me any feedback or any questions you have about the project and I would love to answer them.
@chrismessina @milof Hands down the best hydration app I’ve used. The cute octopus on the ios home screen adds massive value to the tracker. Any plans to integrate Healthkit, though?
@chrismessina @milof I'm a religious morning wake and water person. what's next after water?!
