Dry Days by AlcoChange 17+

Excellent bit of kit! I love the colourful visuals which are a real motivator. Also having the journey recordings of sleep and mood means you know what to expect if you’re doing Dry January because you can look back at last years. Had some trouble entering text on the journey page in iPhone, I found a workaround (enter text then click in the thin white strip at towards the top of the screen which reveals the “Add to Journey” button) - that needs looking at please! If this gets sorted it would be 5 stars for me.

I’ve used this app for every dry January I’ve done. It’s great. I love to be able to see how much money I’ve saved across a whole month.
The only problem is I have now started to drastically cut down for my long term health. But if I say I’ve had a drink, the app doesn’t calculate how much I’ve saved compared with my old intake- or how many units down I am. This means on the face of it this month I have only saved £28 In reality I have only had 3 and a half bottles of wine in 2 weeks instead of one per night.
That’s 10.5 bottles down. At £6 per bottle that’s £63 saved right there, and I’m down 94 units but sadly the app does not reflect this.
I do realise the app is called dry days so perhaps catering for those wishing to achieve sobriety.
I just wanted to be honest about my disappointment, and perhaps looks for an app that suits those cutting down, not quitting for good.

I wanted to love this but just can’t get on with it, lots of bugs.
I only drink socially but still want to monitor this so I know I’m not going overboard, so want an app to track my drinking. Loads of the buttons don’t work, and then they will sometimes if you close and open the app again. You can only submit one type of drink at a time, and once you have submitted you are locked out from adding more - so not any good if you want to check off your drinks as you drink them.
If you forgot to log the day before, there is no functionality for adding previous days drinks - there appears as if there would be, as there is a button saying “today” - but it does nothing if you press it.

I’m going to have to try and find a different app because this one is not fit for purpose.
