Your device.

Your carrier.

Your device's manufacturer.

An app

Any other company



Rules

1) Please do not target any individuals or try to name/shame any individual. If you hate Google/Samsung/OnePlus etc. for one thing that is fine, but do not be rude to an individual app developer.

2) If you have a suggestion to solve another user's issue, please leave a comment but be sure it's constructive! We do not want any flame-wars.

3) Be respectful of other's opinions. Even if you feel that somebody is "wrong" you don't have to go out of your way to prove them wrong. Disagree politely, and move on.

Best health/habit tracking apps on Android

Debating whether to switch to Android from iOS - I love that OnePlus 15!

The thing is, one thing that keeps drawing me back to iOS is the vast amount of quality health and wellness tracking apps. I think smartphones should be about more than just gaming and social media, the right apps can benefit your overall wellbeing.

Meditation - I use InsightTimer and I know Android offers this. All good.

Hydration - I use Drip. I need an Android alternative that’s either free (or at most £5 one off fee with no monthly cost) that can log a huge variety of drinks such water, tea, fizzy drinks, and juice.

Journaling - I use Apple’s own app but I do also have Day One and know this to work well on Android. All good.

Habits - Now for the big one. I need a central app where I can store all of this kind of stuff as daily habits. I use Streaks on iOS, a truly fantastic app that can read the data from my Apple Health & then automatically mark a lot of habits as complete or not. I don’t necessarily need this seamless sync, I *could* live with manual input, but the app does need to be completely free (or again, at most £5 with no monthly cost) and support at least 10 different habits. Habit tracking was a known flaw when I previously had Android.

Can you help?
