However, several reviews highlight issues with inaccurate alcohol unit tracking due to inflexible drink size options, particularly lacking half-size portions and realistic average drink strengths. The app is UK-centric with currency fixed to British pounds, and lacks features like customizable week start days or daily reminders. Some users also raise privacy concerns over excessive permission requests. Overall, usability and accurate customization are common user concerns. ### Pros - Simple and quick to use for logging drinks - Nice and decent interface - Allows some customization of drinks such as calories, cost, and units - Fixed bugs promptly when reported by users ### Cons - Inaccurate unit counting, especially with half portions leading to incorrect totals - Lack of flexibility to customize drink portion sizes (e.g., half pints or 440ml cans) - No option to change currency from British pounds, making cost tracking less useful outside the UK - App requests unnecessary permissions like location and photo access - Week starts on Sunday without option to change to Monday ## Similar extensions and apps - [MyDrinkaware](https://chrome-stats.com/d/uk.co.drinkaware) — 453,122 users, 4.50 / 5 - [DrinkControl - Alcohol Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/lv.happymoments.drinkcontrol) — 45,485 users, 4.51 / 5 - [Drink & Track, Alcohol Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zatiware.dt) — 199 users - [Quit Drinking Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sight35.quitdrinkingtracker) — 3 users - [DrinkPal: Alcohol Unit Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.readyappgo.unitlyalcoholtracker) — 2,357 users - [AlcoTrack: BAC Alcohol Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.felixheller.alcdroid) — 560,100 users, 4.39 / 5 - [Drink Track with Widget](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vladiakbik.drinktrack) — 28 users - [Drink Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/at.nakedbyte.drnk.trckr) - [Alcohol Tracker-BAC Calculator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bilantela.alcoholtrackerapp) — 60 users - [Soberer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.anonymous.alcoholtracker) — 34 users - [SoberTrack - Quit Alcohol](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.noobapps.noalcohol) — 3,536 users - [Drink Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.drinktracker.app) — 2 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.td.drinkcoach)
