Have you had a drink of water today? Staying hydrated is necessary for health, but it can be surprisingly difficult to remember to drink throughout the day and we often go to bed dehydrated. Plant Nanny gamifies hydration by reminding you to water your virtual plants and your real-life body, too.

What we love: Plant a seed in Plant Nanny, and for every glass of water you drink, pour one out for your plant baby. It requires a certain amount to grow healthily and get big and strong – a great motivator for keeping yourself hydrated. Collect more kinds of plants and pots, and before long you’ll have a lush garden of tulips, dandelions, cacti, venus fly traps and much more.

Quick tip: Subscribe to unlock an array of features, including speaking plants and the ability to give each of them a name. You can also track your daily hydration right from your Home Screen, using a widget.
