TRY DRY: The Dry January app

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

Very happy with this app it has greatly helped me cut back on my alcohol consumption
