Description

Myth or not - it can’t hurt to stick to conventional wisdom and drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day. 'Eight Glasses a Day' is an application that will help you do just that - just touch a virtual glass of water every time you drink a real one!

If you meet the challenge, you will be rewarded with a reason why drinking water daily is part of a healthy lifestyle. If not, don’t worry, at midnight your glasses will magically refill to challenge you the next day.

You can also see how many glasses you have left to drink on the home screen icon itself - just like your e-mail or phone icon.

Free Reign – Free iPhone Apps Roundup #11

Welcome to Free Reign #11. I had initially assembled this roundup based on the names of the apps. What the Font and Drunk Dial (now “Drinks and Cocktails” as of v2.0) stood out from the crowd and Eight Glasses a Day…well, I just thought it was interesting that somebody had designed an app that revolved around eight glasses of water a day. What the Font Concept: An easy way to find out what font you’re looking at, right from your iPhone. Strengths: Great concept. Non-Strengths: Results were never very easy to ascertain. Wrote “Calibri” in Calibri in an MS Word screenshot and app still suggested other fonts. UI for individual letter recognition is confusing. Overall: I’m sure that font recognition isn’t a very easy task for an app, but both the UI and performance were pretty poor in this app. I’d avoid it for now.

Still Needs Some Work

Version: 1.1

I like this application as I never drink water and anything can help. It needs some improvements before I will give it a 5 though. I would love to see the app have an alarm/vibrate setting that you can set to remind you. When I'm working I don't drink water for a reason, I'm not thinking about it, so at this point this app deosn't really motivate me to drink more. Also, why only 8 glasses, I think the app should allow you to set your goal, go beyond and let's try for 12. I look forwad to the update when it will show the glasses you have left, I hate seeing that I have messages, so maybe this will help motivate me to drink more.

Excellent for keeping track of my water intake!

I have a half liter Sigg bottle that I sip on throughout the day. I try to drink 2-3 liters a day, but some days I just lose count of how many bottles I have had. This app remembers how many full bottles I have had! Sometimes when my throat gets really dry or I start getting a slight headache, I check this app and see that I have had almost no liquids during the day. Excellent reminder to drink!

Cute & Simple

*!x$x!*

Version: 1.1

This app is very basic, but in an unconventional way. I am glad the creator of this app didn't attempt to "ritz" it up or add too much to complicate the simple interface. The only things I would like to see added is 1) Instead of just the number 8 as the title, it should be "8 Glasses". (IMHO having just the numeral make it look a little too bare. 2) There should be a badge on the icon that let's us know how many more drinks we have to go. 3) And maybe just for fun, let us change the color of the water (or is that "too much")? Anyways, good job and thanks; the app is cute, but simple as it may be, it's still a helpful reminder to our health.

Great idea, simple, does what it says

As somebody who actually tries to remember to drink enough water every day, this is a great app. It does just what it says: eight glasses, mark them off one by one, and if you have to switch apps, it remembers where you left off. The other thing I like is that the title of the app on the screen is just "8" (under the icon)...very cool. Maybe it could change to "5" or "2" or whatever depending on where you are? Anyway, great app, highly recommended.

Good basic 1st draft

Version: 1.2

Stable and simple but very dry app. I like it but I think some may find it too basic even for a free application. Others suggest sound effects, a good idea. Other obvious missing features that might even justify a pay version: 1. Quarter or half-filled glasses 2. Customizable number of glasses 3. Calculator for optimal water intake 4. Customizable glassware, background images, etc. Import a photo for ex 5. Count up rather than countdown 6. Customize clock reset time for night owls 7. Weight record so you can see if you are gaining or losing water weight 8. Water consumption history, stats 9. Export to spreadsheet 10. Charts and graphs Also, too much water can be a bad thing for millions of people with kidney failure, heart failure, or other diuretic-dependent patients. This app can help but would require more features to get there.
