We all know hydration is important, but we’re not all great at staying hydrated. WaterMinder is here to help. It’s an iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch app designed to ensure you hit your hydration goals — you can also use it to track your coffee, alcohol, and soda intake, sharing your caffeine consumption with Apple’s Health app.
Using WaterMinder is easy. Tell it about yourself, your activity levels, and the climate you live in, then WaterMinder will notify you when it’s time for a drink. You can then tap on the appropriate icon to log your consumption.
You can quickly log your drinks on your Apple Watch with a Siri shortcut, via a Watch Face complication, or by tapping the on–screen notification, but it works well without the Watch too. As you’d expect from a health and fitness app — it integrates with Apple Health, it enables you to view your consumption over time, and it has game–style achievements that congratulate you after achieving your best results.
There are lots of these apps in the App Store but we like the way WaterMinder has been designed: the interface is clear, the customization options are excellent, the Watch app characters are cute and there are delightful little touches such as the way your on–screen avatar fills with water that you can slosh around by waggling your iPhone! It’s a fun way to stay hydrated.
THE BOTTOM LINE. WaterMinder is excellent, especially on Apple Watch. CARRIE MARSHALL
