Forgetting to stay hydrated while at Uni or work? This DigiTip is for you. Staying hydrated is a major part of wellbeing as it influences how much energy you have and helps you to stay focussed. 

My Water has a free version which will send you notifications at set intervals reminding you to drink to reach your goal for the day. Alongside this you are also given statistics based on how you are doing for the week with your water intake. There’s also an Achievements page that shows what milestones you’ve hit and how to achieve more. When reporting what you have drank on the free version you are given the option of selecting water, coffee or tea which will return different amounts to your water progress based on the water balance of the drink. 

Below are some screenshots from the app that show some of these features.
