When Water reminder & drink tracker is a good fit
Consider Wachanga’s Water reminder & drink tracker if you want a compact drink log with reminders and drink-dependent hydration accounting. It is a separate listing from Water Tracker PRO, despite sharing a developer and a similar purpose.
The UK Apple listing checked is version 2.26.0, released in May 2022. That does not prove it is unsupported, but it makes a current-device trial particularly useful. We found no clear documentation of caffeine amounts or Health Connect.
Alternatives worth considering
- WaterChamp: for combined water, caffeine and alcohol records on iPhone or Android, with no Watch app.
- Water Tracker PRO: For the other Wachanga listing, with favorites and a documented widget workflow.
- Water Reminder: For explicitly documented caffeine and nutrition export on iPhone.

What to try before switching
Confirm that the linked listing is available in your country, then test reminders and your usual drinks on your current phone. Do not assume the PRO sibling has identical purchases.
When WaterChamp is another option
Consider WaterChamp if you want water, caffeine and alcohol in one log, with an estimated caffeine curve and a last-coffee reminder. It is available on iPhone and Android and includes 102 selectable drinks. You can try the model in the caffeine calculator.
WaterChamp has no Apple Watch app or LUCY cap integration. Its widgets open the phone’s drink logger for confirmation. Some forecasts and analysis require Pro. Its estimates are not measurements of hydration, blood alcohol or sleep quality.
