Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ability to remind them to eat and drink water, its user-friendly design, and meal time customization features. However, multiple users criticize the app for strict meal interval rules (minimum two hours), inability to customize wake-up or first meal times, inconsistent alarm sounds, occasional crashes, and lack of flexibility with water reminder settings. Overall, while the app serves its core purpose well, it falls short on personalization and reliability for some users.

Pros

App effectively reminds users to eat meals and drink water, helping maintain dietary schedules.
User-friendly interface appreciated by many users, with easy-to-use features and templates.
Allows correction and customization of meal times to a certain extent.
Combines meal and water reminders in a single app, reducing the need for multiple apps.

Cons

Limited customization for meal intervals, especially minimum two-hour gaps, which frustrates users with different dietary needs.
Inability to customize wake-up or first meal times; some options are greyed out or fixed.
Notification sound/alarms sometimes unreliable or missing, leading to missed reminders.
App sometimes crashes or is confusing and slow, reducing overall usability for some users.
Lack of ability to turn off water reminders and inflexible water intake settings annoy some users.

2022-06-21	Da*****	Useless for me since you can't set meals with less than a two hour gap. The app shouldn't be dictating my eating schedule since it's not my medical care provider! --- EDIT in reply to dev response: That's exactly my point! It's not my medical provider so why should it limit me to a minimum two hours between meals?

2021-11-23	Er*****	I was really excited to try this, as it looks like it has everything I need. However, every time I click anything, it crashes and I can't use it at all! I only gave it two stars because it looks like it would be really great if I could get it to work.

2021-11-06	Sh*****	So sad it supposed to have a place for ringing tone, or any song of your choice but nothing as such. U can't even notice wen the alarm time is gone, because it doesn't ring out only, always missed alarm.

2021-08-10	La*****	Terrible. Won't let me customise when I wake up, seems to be stuck at 6am. Wants me to eat every 3 hours despite me changing the meal times. Not remotely user friendly. Worst app I've used in a very long time. * Edit after response: it wont let me customise wake time, it's all greyed out. And it didn't give me a longer option than 3 hours. Why not just let people put in custom times rather than having to have intervals anyway? I found a better app that was much easier to use. *Edit 2: your second reply still doesn't help me. I don't want to eat every 4 hours either, I wanted to set the times specifically. You can keep replying all you want but I still don't want to use your app or give you more stars. Sorry.

2021-02-18	Ki*****	It is a good app. Reminds me when it is time to eat, although the notification sound doesn't work all the time. But I deleted an app that was recommended by the diet I'm on and installed this one and it has done what I needed. Overall pretty happy.

2021-01-20	Ce*****	Excellent app. I need to constantly correct eating times and this app allows it. I control my meal times and don't worry if I can't update the app right away.

2020-11-29	*****	If the first alarm had already gone off you cannot change it. I stay up late and it does not have enough alarms for me. I'm also diabetic so I need more alarms. I could not find a diabetic so that does this

2020-11-08	Ol*****	The app definitely does what it says, however the UI could use a bit of an overhaul. Haven't noticed any bothersome ads or glaring issues. The only snag I had was trying to have my last meal of the day after midnight, however I'm sure this won't be an issue for most people.

2020-10-31	Kr*****	I love this app! It reminds me about both meals and water intake. I have been recommending it to all my friends. Super user friendly!
