## Review summary

User sentiment is polarized: long-time users praised the app’s simplicity, reminders, and health benefits, including Apple Watch support and charts. However, many reviews complain about the major update that switched to a subscription, locked essential features behind paywall, and caused data/history loss. Sign-up/login issues and broken support exacerbate frustration. The redesign’s cluttered interface and cat-themed visuals upset longtime users preferring the old simple UI. Some still praise reminders and potential benefits but feel the value proposition and reliability have degraded.

### Pros

- Intuitive, easy-to-use interface for tracking water intake.
- Helpful reminders and gentle notifications to stay hydrated.
- Valuable features like progress charts, customizable goals, and Apple Watch support.
- Free version is functional with an affordable Pro/ad-free option.
- Has helped users build healthy hydration habits and feel better.

### Cons

- Major update introduced a subscription/paywall, locking core features behind a paywall.
- Data/history from years of use can be lost after updates.
- Sign-up/login errors and poor or unresponsive support hinder access.
- UI redesign is cluttered and removes the simplicity longtime users liked (cat theme is off-putting).
- Perceived high price for Pro (around $40/year) and questions about value.
