Aqualert - Water App


 Water is such a key part of life, but quite often we are just not getting enough of it. I came across Aqualert when I was looking into ways to help me loose weight and improve my skin. Again and again I was hitting the information about making sure my water intake was high enough. Now i'm the sorta girl who could be told something a thousand times but then forget. So setting myself a mission on chugging back the water this app has been my must have.


From the get go this has proved a very easy to use tool that's easily adaptable to any life style. Most people have a phone on them at all times so having something to track water is fantastic. No more remembering or jotting down on paper.

What I especially like about it is the fact it has such a simple display. A customisable colour display at that, but I have kept with its original blue. At a glance you can tell how much is left of the daily target. With easy to use scroll buttons to select how much you are drinking, there is no reason not to use it. I hate when an app is overcomplicated with so many options that never get used. The simplicity of it makes using the app such a smooth process.

 
When you first download Aqualert you are prompted to enter your details so a more accurate amount can be calculated for you. I really like that there is a 'pregnant' option, because I know when I was pregnant I really didn't drink as much as I should have – even if I was going through peach diluting juice like it was going out of fashion. There is also the options of inputting your activity level – a handy thing depending on your job. There is even a grid so you can look back and compare if your hitting your water targets so you can notice any patterns.


My only downfall to this app is that it can not be synced up to 'My Fitness Pal' which would have made things a little easier across the weight loss bored; MFP has the option of adding a cup at a time. I couldn't tell you how much ml is in a cup, but I can read a bottle and input it in Aqualert. This doesnt effect the app at all if you dont use MFP, but with everything becoming connected app wise it would have been a nice added bonus.

However the best bit of the app: The reminders.
I have it set to buzz me every hour to tell me to drink something. When im running after my toddler a drink is often the last thing im thinking about, but the prompt makes sure im staying on target throughout the day. Its always better to sip than chug a large quantity at a time. There is only so much your kidneys can process an hour.
 

Overall I really enjoy having this app on my phone. Its a functional app that was the first thing to be downloaded onto my new phone.


Actually want to know the best part about this app? Its free. Yep that's right, it doesn't cost a dime. It is available on both Apple and Android so there's no excuse to not have it.

How do you make sure you drink enough? Will you be downloading this?
