WaterMinder®

The simplest way to summarise this app, Waterminder is that it allows you to determine how much water you should drink each day based on your body weight and then set reminders as often as every 90 minutes so you don't forget.

What do we like about Waterminder?

The app comes pre-loaded with roughly seven notifications spread throughout the day, but you can change the times or turn them off entirely.

What skills does it improve?

Simply put, if you stick with it and drink the recommended amount of water when your reminders go off, this will work. You'll be able to stop using the reminders after a while because drinking enough water will become second nature to you.

What age is it appropriate for?

It is appropriate for all ages. 

Is Waterminder free?

Waterminder is a $5 iPhone and Android app that allows you to manage your daily water intake, receive reminders to drink water via personalised notifications, and measure your progress over time.

Is Waterminder easy to use?

You create a profile for yourself, including your name, gender, weight, degree of exercise, and the average weather in your location. The software will then calculate how much water you should drink each day based on your specific preferences. Soon, you'll be met with a humorous cartoon silhouette that you can "load" with liquids throughout the day by clicking on the plus symbol below it and entering the drinks you've drunk, as well as the cup or bottle sizes.

How will students benefit?

Waterminder helps you keep track of the drinking habits of students thus, nurturing their health and improving their health condition. 

How will teachers benefit?

Calculate how much water you need to drink each day based on your weight. Keep track of your daily water usage and see previous records in a bar chart format. Make your own Custom Cups to correctly track your water intake.

How will parents benefit?

WaterMinder's interface is actually rather attractive, with sound effects playing when you press various buttons. The basic view will display a silhouette of a man or woman, as well as a visual representation of how much water you've consumed so far that day.

When you drink some water, hit the + icon at the bottom of the screen to record it, and you'll be presented with a variety of container sizes to choose from. You may also make your own containers by using the Custom Cups option in the Settings menu.

What can Waterminder improve on?

There is nothing much to improve in this app. 

How much does Waterminder cost?

Waterminder cost $5 for users. 

Final thoughts

As if that weren't enough, the app also includes virtual "badges" that you can receive when you reach various milestones, such as drinking your goal amount of water in one day, reaching your goal consistently for a week, and exceeding your goal. Even completing a full barrel of water earns you a badge.

One of the simplest and most powerful things you can do right now to improve your health is to increase your water consumption. Drinking more water can enhance your skin's condition, make you feel more alert, make you sick less often, and even help you lose weight more quickly.
