Caffiend - Caffeine Tracker

1. Right now the app is crashing whenever I try to add anything via barcode scanner or when I use haptic touch to add a volume to one of my favorites. 2. Almost all of the preset drinks have no hydration value. That is not a deal breaker, I can add my own custom beverages that have caffeine and water. 3. I wish it had some sort of reminder feature. Like WaterMinder.

When I decided to limit my caffeine, I downloaded all the apps designed to specifically track coffee intake. And after trying them all out, this one is the best by far. The simplicity of the app is exactly what I needed. Just using it for the first week, I was able to cut my caffeine in half. You can add reminders and set limits for the day. I also like that I can track the amount of water I’m drinking. I’ve found that setting limits on my caffeine, coupled with targets for water has helped me switch to better choices in my beverages. The database is good and growing. But what I will say is that their customer service is excellent. I emailed about a problem I was having with the app and received an immediate reply with a solution. I wish every app was like this. As far as your favorite drinks, if they are not in the database, you can add them manually and also request that they be added to the master database. If you’re looking for a way to stick to that New Years resolution. This is the perfect app.

There is a lot to love with this app for anyone needing to taper off caffeine. First off, the Apple Watch app is flawless in design and even has a round 'complication' you can add to your watch faces. Secondly, it syncs with HealthKit which is a bare necessity these days. I only wish the sync between HealthKit and the watch was smoother but this could be an Apple bug. Also the database isn't too extensive but it is really easy to add a custom drink or supplement. I guess going forward if the developers wanted to expand they could add other stimulants of abuse like ephedrine or adderall but why make it more complicated because HealthKit integration means all apps can share data and they each focus on one specific area then combine and create categories to compare. For example, a sleep tracking app like Pillow should be able to read data from Caffiend and make a chart showing how late you can 'dose up' without ruining your sleep.

Great app! I especially like that it syncs with the health app so you can track your water/caffeine intake over time. Personally, I don't drink coffee. I wish I liked the taste of it but I find it gross. I've tried it in all of its forms. Therefore, even though they are much worse for you, I usually drink one energy drink a day. I've received a lot of criticism for drinking energy drinks because of the "high caffeine content". Don't get me wrong, I'm aware most energy drinks are packed with high fructose corn syrup, which is almost pure poison (which is why I try to drink ones that use pure sugar, even though it's not much better for you). I'm using this app for two things, and it does a great job at it: 1. To show I'm not consuming more caffeine than my friends and family who drink a TON of coffee each day. 2. To track my caffeine to make sure I'm not going overboard and to make sure I consume enough pure water everyday. Some suggestions: I'd really like a way to organize my custom drinks I create by name. Most of the energy drinks I drink aren't listed and they are all over the place. A manual way to organize the drinks would be best. Also, maybe a way to upload a picture of your custom drinks (or even ones that are preloaded)? Just for fun!

I love this app — it does exactly what I need it to ... it helps me track my caffeine and fluid intake. Nice bonus: it ties in with the Apple Health app, so you can see your trends. Super convenient to use — add beverages from a list, and the app notes the caffeine and fluid intake. For convenience, you can tag your 3 most frequently consumed beverages, so that you can track your consumption of those with a single click.
