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 🥇 Exciting Challenges & Unique Badges Challenge yourself to various healthy habits - cool badges await ⏰ Reminders when you need them Won’t interfere with your work or sleep. Will seamlessly complement your routine 📈 Motivational Stats Clear & meaningful way to stay motivated and on track 🎯 Personalized daily goal Takes gender, weight, activity level & even current weather into account ☕ Wide Catalog of Drinks Accounts for how different drinks hydrate you 💸 Everything is 100% free Just like water ;) 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.

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.

Just downloaded and tried this. Very well built app! Will be using it to track my water drinking habits!

It's a great product! At least now mom doesn't have to call me in every 2 hours reminding me to drink water, and it's all on the cute little octopus now :)

Love the idea of having a fun avatar to engage users, and taking into account hydration levels of different drinks. Curious if you plan on adding social aspects for friendly competition between friends and how this compares to something like water llama?

Really cool idea. Does this integrate with any existing fitness apps or devices like Apple Watch or Strava?

Such a great app to keep track of your daily activities. Really helps in maintaining your health. Loved the idea.

I remember seeing you post (and the cute octopus) on Reddit - congrats on the launch! Downloaded & excited to try it out!

I love the visuals and it's really giving cool vibes. It feels like staying hydrated is now going to be fun :) @milof

?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. Screenshot:

Love the idea. Never subscribed to the whole "every drinks 8 glasses a day" type deal. Bodies are different and require different thing, so it makes sense. Do the calculations take any dietary or medical conditions into account? Like if someone has constipation or has a high fiber diet for instance?

I installed it. I hope it makes me remember. (Wygląda fajnie, powodzenia! Dam znać po kilku dniach ;) )

Pros: - Personalized daily goal - Non-intrusive reminders - All features free - The octopus!! - Multiple ways to log a drink Cons: - No Apple Watch app :sli

Looks fresh compared to other hydration apps. I like autoadjustment of daily hydration and ability to log different drinks!

I definitely love your visual!

It's truly wonderful. Changed my drinking habits. I fell much better than before, as I used to fell dehydrated quite often. Never again! The app itself is thoughtfully and beautifully designed. Using it is really enjoyable!

Love this especially for someone who struggles to get enough water in every day. It would be great if this integrate with Apple Watch, but other than that, no complains at all. This app definitely has potential to be very scalable and useful to lots of people in this world

I do not drink enough, even after my sport session. Thanks for sharing!

I really love that product, but it suddenly disappeared from the play store. Is there another option (an apk for example) to download it?

Well-designed app, fun to use! Great to be able to add coffee, soda, etc. And see not only the water amount that day but the distribution of each type. @chrismessina I've used the app called Fluid before which has very few functions but there's a red line which moving all day and shows you where you should stand by that point. That kind of motivated me and showed how much I'm behind that. It would be nice to add to the circle. I've set the smart reminders for 30 min but it does not take drinking into account. Meaning: it's 9:28 and my reminder will be in 9:30. But if I add 100ml water the reminder should remind me at 9:28 + 30min = 9:58 This would make it smarter I think. When I switch to add a favorite the liquid level in the glasses are the same and for me there are 3 different water glasses there (100,200,300 ml). Please consider to adjust the liquid level to the volume or at least make some difference in it. It would help in the widget also where I can tap on one of the favorites. Sometimes when I enter the app from the notification or from the widget it just quits and I have to reopen it.
