would be better to have a daily option for the amount of drink consumed on a variable,rather than having to edit your usual week. no one as a typical day with drink, usually an individual will drink differently from one day to the next. plus holidays should be considered i.e Christmas and so forth.

The recent update wiped out all my history again! Lost all my progress in an update in 2021 and lost it all again when I updated a few days ago.

More realistic approach to limiting alcohol.

This app has helped me cut down drinking loads but a few issues for something so simple. The new update lost over a year's data I'd built up and doesn't seemed to have improved anything! Notifications still ask if you had a drink the previous day even when you have already said that you haven't. Still can't go back and add old data more than a few weeks. Now you can't see the days of the previous month when you didn't drink that cross over into the first week of the new month.

This app is really helpful and supportive. it feels good ticking off drink free days. you don't need to have a drink problem is be drinking too much. this app helps you to have a healthy attitude towards alcohol

Julie Murrish

this app really does make you think about your drinking and really does help cut down.

Good app for keeping track but it could be better. It won't let you go back further than 1 week previous so if you forget to log it you record isn't accurate. It would be great if it allowed you to log what you do drink on your drinking days and it give you a run down of calories and costs.

Lee Beddows

Just updated the app and lost all my progress. This is terrible as I was feeling really great about all my gold stars. It's a really insensitive approach to updating the app given people will be using to keep track and measuring progress towards the important goal of drinking less. You MUST fix this urgently.

Not bad, but could be better. It shouldn't insist that you complete your current drinking routine as a hurdle before being able to use it. It's daft anyway: who drinks in a routine!? But mainly it's a high bar to entry, very off-putting. Also, it's very frustrating that it revolves around a working week. So a pledge for 7 days can't be fulfilled until you've been 13 days without drinking if you stop on a Tuesday. Just count the days from when you stop!! And why max 7 days pledge?
