I absolutely love Drylendar! It's such a helpful tool for anyone looking to cut back on their alcohol consumption and live a healthier, sober life. The ability to fill your calendar with your drinks and earn medals for being sober is so motivating and encouraging. Plus, adding friends to share calendars and motivation is such a fantastic feature. Drylendar truly is a warm and supportive app that helps everyone on their journey towards a healthier lifestyle. Highly recommend!
I’m currently playing with the idea of not drinking for a while and am very likely to quit forever. I also have a few friends who think about that as well
Seems like going sober might become trendy soon and your app absolutely nails it: looks great yet is simple and minimalistic, has a social/community component which is key for willpower-related products.
Props for not putting any significant features behind the premium paywall, I love buying premium versions but hate it when the app literally forces me to pay because the free version is barely usable - totally not the case here.
However, I think getting purchases might turn out troublesome as the subscription is quite pricey (3x compared to my calorie tracking app, 30% more expensive than my todo app), yet, doesn’t give a lot of obvious, desired benefits except for mainly supporting the developer. I’d suggest taking a look at what the premium version can be enhanced/extended with
Wow - so impressed by Drylendar app launch! This app is sure to help so many people live a healthier and happier lifestyle - a huge congratulations on the release!
Drylendar is a fantastic initiative for a healthier and sober life! 🌟 The alcohol calendar app is a unique approach to fostering positive habits
Congrats on the launch : )
I have a very curious idea, please pardon me if it deters from your original perspective.
Why just alcohol? I mean, you can use the same gamification concept for any other addiction as well.
A little tweak for the gamification for any addiction can go a long way for someone who wants to come out of their addiction.
For starters, I want to cut down on my Tea/Caffeine intake, I can use the app for that purpose as well. It can be done for a sweet tooth, Drug addiction (though it's a little more sensitive issue), etc. The possibilities are endless. Doing this you will be able to gather more eyeballs.
A quick question, what is the monetisation strategy?
Cheers, and best wishes : )
Cool idea! I have always wondered something about the use case though: what prevents the user from lying on the app for social validation? Is the idea that the user has to consciously stay committed to this routine, or is there a software solution in place?
Something tells me that your potential customers will be in the wrong state of mind to use the app. Anyway - good luck!
It can be really interesting for athletes! I'll have to try it when I go alcohol-free for a few months!
