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.
Pros and cons of Eight Glasses a Day app for iPhone and iPad
Eight Glasses a Day app good for
Its free and it has a cool countdown icon. Highly recommend if you want to ensure you stay hydrated.
I put this simple app on page 1 and see the counter badge on the icon several times a day. Best thing for losing or maintaining weight.
Thanks.
It reminds me every time I check my phone, which is often, how many glasses I still have to drink for that day. Its so simple, but simple in a really good way.
Ive been reely commited to this app it made my dick grow an inch over night
great app!. i cant think of much to improve it. simple&usefull. not much else to say. 5*Stars. :]
I have a very busy lifestyle and sometimes I dont get the liquids required for a day. This app is very useful, it helps you lose/gain weight, prevent acne, and Ive noticed Ive slept more soundly these few days. It helps you concentrate more, either at school, work, or just being active! The best of all, its free!
Some bad moments
A nice app indeed but it should keep track of the water you drink per day and ofcourse editing it if the refresh button hit accidentally...
Wow the simplest but really the most affective app ever my skin is so healthy. And my pimples hv been disapearin in just a week :)5stara 4 shur
Very disappointed. Was working with previous version and now the update is not. Number of glasses left to drink does not count down and the glasses refill or need to be restarted each time when the app is opened.
The human body already comes with reminder program.... thirst.
Btw, it CAN be harmful to drink too much water. Chilax and just drink when youre thirsty.
It actually CAN hurt to drink 8 glasses a day. For instance, a small child who weighs 40 or 50 pounds. If this child were to drink 8 glasses a day he/she may experience whats called, "water intoxication", which has proven to be fatal in some cases.
Anyone who thinks everyone needs to drink the same amount of water every day is, sorry to say, wrong. This app is not only misleading, but it lacks plenty of features that hardly make it worth the price. After using this app I feel it should be free due to its extremely low user functionality.
A better way to go is to purchase the app called, "Water Your Body", it not only does what Eight Glasses a Day does (but properly), it also allows history tracking, time stamps, graphs, information, and frankly its just an all around better app.
...needs more functionality, please. It would be useful for people who are tracking their water consumption (re: kidney stone or other health issues, for example), to be able to set the time of their consumption cycle by wheel (not just a 12:30a default) and tap for 1/2 glass, press for whole glass (since "glass" for me is sometimes a whole made up of partial drinks).
A log (c/b simple as time of each full glass) would be a great feature since I know my h2O consption isnt even and there are times of day when I am, in fact, dehydrated.
An alarm feature and a thresholld option (set an alert if no water is consumed in X number of hours) w/b nice! A good start - please keep going!
