iPhone App Review: Waterlogged

I started using this app on 7/8/2014 to keep track of my water intake.  The Louisiana 2 Step challenge asks me how many ounces of water I’m drinking every day, and I also know that drinking water is one of the best steps I can take towards better health.  In the past, I have used my SparkPeople app and account to track water intake.  I wanted to have an app that just tracked water, so I stumbled across Waterlogged.


Waterlogged is pretty straightforward.  You tap on the empty water bottle on the screen and then you log each time you drink water.  You can even take a picture of the water bottle (or glass) you use--that way you don’t have to remember how many ounces are in that particular bottle.  You just log it in.  Very simple and straightforward.

The app also allows you to set goals.  You can tell it how many ounces you want to drink that day, what time you want to start and finish by.  The screen tells you how much water you’ve had so far, as well as what your goal should be by a particular time in order to meet your goal.  There’s a graphing chart and even a map feature if you want to track where you are drinking water.

There’s a reward feature from kiip, but I’m not really using it.  There is a premium version too.  You can also connect with your Facebook account or connect to your Fitbit if you have one.  All in all, I really like Waterlogged and I would highly recommend it if you are interested in tracking your water intake.  If you have another tracking app that also tracks water, then Waterlogged probably isn’t necessary.  The basic app is free (yay!)--you can unlock reminders for $3.99 and get a lifetime subscription for $2.99.  I find that the free version works just fine for my purposes.
