Jidnesh Chikane (ID: 0000000264e1144f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/13/2023 perfect just set it to the visual notification option, loved it!

Henry Russell (ID: 000000fa3969bd04) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/04/2023 It's useful but there should be a way to set a timer to drink a full glass, like so you drink a sip every 20 minutes, and finish a glass every 60.

Naseem (ID: 000000209722bf6f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/31/2023 So It does remind you but it dosent give you an actual notfiction it just gives u a verly low chime sound which you cant even hear if watching something and this whole app is unsusable for deaf ppl it would be alot better if they made an actual pop up notfication so you can do these things and make i accesibile for deaf ppl and even perhaps more option for timing instead of only 1 to 60 minutes

A. P (ID: 0000003edb46bb6e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/20/2022 I opted for the both the audio and the visual reminder, so far all I've gotten was just the chime without the pop-up notification. A little annoying, but otherwise it's fine.
