2026-05-09	Ma*****	Despite complaints about issues with scanning, I haven’t had any problems. Important to note there is also an option to tap within app to record refills. Love the color and ease of cleaning!!

I would suggest the main page being only your water bottle and place to scan and more info on water drank. New tab for community goals etc. shop tab is fine, I get that. I would also recommend adding a widget to activate the NFC scanner faster. I have to open the app look for the little button and push “Scan to Refill”. I have seen on other reviews suggestions for a watch app for the NFC scanner. I would rate higher if these things get added. Our whole company has these bottles now so we want to use them.

2026-03-21	th*****	I love the water bottle, but this app sucks hard. NFC scanning does NOT work. Scanning the bottle by NFC with your phone just opens a notification that prompts you to open Safari, which you click on and that then opens the app. Still nothing. Scan the NFC again, nothing. I even changed the setting logging type to “scanning the bottle”. The ONE reason I have this app is to scan the bottle. Why doesn’t it work? Also, how I can register for the 10-year warranty is impossible to figure out so I gave up. Went to the website, read the policy, downloaded the app, added my bottle, still nothing. It shouldn’t be this hard. I ended up emailing the company to ask them how to register. Someone at Ocean Bottle needs to figure out how to better communicate with users. I will have to setup my own iPhone shortcut to log water by NFC. Weird that I need a workaround when there is a whole app built for this purpose. Also, the app is mostly ads to buy and community goal stuff I don’t care about that comes back after I “x” them away. Zero charts just a total number drank. I will use Apple Health or an alternate app because this one has way too much clutter and none of the barebones tracking you would expect in a water tracking-by-NFC app. Ha!

2025-06-30	Ar*****	I have to agree with the other reviews. It’s a great concept but as others mentioned after 10 days the app stops documenting your water intake. Seems pretty counterproductive if the whole point of the bottle is to document your intake. It has gotten me to drink way more water which is nice but I can do that with a regular water bottle. This bottle is pretty pointless and the fact that this glitch hasn’t been fixed after multiple reports speaks volumes about the company.

2025-06-19	Me*****	I thought the app would help me find free refill stations but all it seems to want to do is track me and sell me more bottles.

2025-05-16	Su*****	I started to believe this is a great initiative of reducing plastic by refilling and using ocean bottles turned out to be totally worthless and nothing but making bucks in the name of reducing plastic. This app intermittently stops counting the streaks and then restart with 0 days. The support person is so great that he says this app will consider UK timezone when asked to fix the issues.
