This is the water reminder that I love the most, because it's so simple, just a notification and sound that plays from time to time reminding me to drink water. I would change this review to 5 stars if a sound volume slider could be added to this, so I can make it a little quieter. Thank you!

Love the app. But i started ignoring the notification when i am too busy. Using some bright icons and motivational messages like "Get hydrated" or "Your body needs water" may help. Anyone like me?
