Think back on your last 29 days?? Can't add multiple drinks in single entry??

Please change the annoying sliding bar that you have to use to log a drink! It takes so long to get it right that I give up! So I guess that defeats the whole purpose of the app! If you could just type the measure in that would be better. Also, if you log a drink several times it would be better if you could just store presets rather than having to reselect from the same annoying sliding bar or you could just set the bar to the same as the last drink logged.

Great way to make goals and stay accountable.

I was curious about this app & ran thru its setup. I feel like it would help do what it's for, to 'say when' about drinking. To control amount, to note events when, to pick days when not, to become alert to triggers, to gain self-information, & to add to constructive (non-destructive) behaviors for self (& if pertinent, twd others). And I think an app similar to the "Saying When" framework, to its gifts of obtaining facts & gains in self-awareness, would be useful for trauma recovery, for PTSD.

The best app available for alcoholics anonymous.

I've been using the app for several weeks now and find it useful, but the user experience could be improved. Here's a few suggestions: - When tracking a drink, once you change the type of drink, the date and time resets to current (from the one that was chosen beforehand). This is very impractical when tracking yesterday's drinks, for example. - ‎The volume slider gets frustrating very fast, as it's difficult to set the exact round number. Clicking on the volume value does nothing. Instead, this could be an input field to enter a numeric value manually - much faster and precise than fiddling with the slider. Other than that, a very good app.

I'm a real person, finally an app that actually helps...not just track your drinking, a few I tried were complicated! I just started..love it. I do wish it had a place where you could put how much you spent...so you could watch savings. But not like the other apps that only do it by each drink... You should be able to put how much you spent whether 1 or a 4 pack of wine or 1 bottle. :) Thanks for creating this! Xo
