Description

Try Dry® is the powerful, easy-to-use, and totally free premium app helping tens of thousands of people to take control of their drinking. Try Dry® is the official app of the Dry January® challenge, which was created and is run by the charity Alcohol Change UK.
Co-created with drinkers and based on behavioural science and a spirit of experimenting (hence the name), Try Dry® contains unique features such as 'planned drinking', custom goals, and special missions. Unlike 'sobriety-only apps', it works brilliantly whether you want to cut back or try being sober.
Whether you’re taking on the Dry January® challenge, doing Sober Spring, trying a sober October, making a longer-term change to your drinking, or just cutting back, the Try Dry® app is your trusted year-round support system.

Great app - update crashes a lot

Ganzo62 on

United Kingdom

Love this app very helpful re motivation and awareness. Used it for 2-3 years. Current update crashes / hangs up frequently though. Didn’t used to. Pity as otherwise definitely a 5 star app.

Helpful but loses data and crashes too often.

Useful app for stopping/reducing alcohol consumption. However, it crashes too often and has lost all the data I input for ‘mood’, ‘energy’, ‘sleep’ etc over a 2 month period. Also won’t run on my iPhone and iPad - can only load it on one or the other.

Full of glitches

I am trying to log my dry days and it says something went wrong then crashes

Problems

SteveLancs on

United Kingdom

Used the Try Dry app without issue for 5 years now and happy with it. But twice in the past week the app has lost my entire history (blank calendar) and frozen rendering it unusable. Have had to delete and re-download the app each time. The app is all about monitoring your intake via the calendar so a problem with recording it, and with the calendar going blank, is a significant one. Without this problem would be 5 stars. Because of this: 1 star.

Great but needs more badges

FedUpGuardianReader on

United Kingdom

I’ve used this app daily for over three years and it has transformed my drinking. I am highly motivated by the badges, especially the day streaks. But I’ve now exhausted all the badges so I’ve started to look for alternative habit tracking apps. Please add a four year streak badge and keep me!

For me, reaching the goals that are set on this app are an important added incentive to stay away from alcohol especially in the early stages. Also for me, an alcohol problem is very secretive and this app helps you without needing to confide in anyone.

Brilliant app to help cut down on alcohol

djkivz on

United Kingdom

It’s the first time me and my son have done Dry January and the first time we have used this app. I don’t have a lot of self control and easily give up but this app kept me on track! Because it checked in with my every day, it felt like I had some support and wasn’t alone. It’s been so good to see the dry days, weeks and milestones appear and be ticked off. Even better, it’s free! I honestly think I would’ve given up a week or 2 in, but actually kept it going a couple of weeks into February. I’ve felt the benefits of cutting alcohol out and will have a drink now and then but at a much lower, controlled level. My son (age 21) has decided to carry on being dry! Thank you for this brilliant app!

Great app!

I don’t have 2 on

United Kingdom

I think this app is great at helping you cut down or eliminate alcohol. It makes you feel proud to click ‘stayed dry’ every day!

Great Support

Not a heavy drinker but it’s really helped me control my alcohol intake and pretty much stop my weekday drinking habit.

Would recommend
