Why we picked this?

The human body is made up of around 60 percent of water, so it’s clearly vital to your health. My Water Balance will ensure you drink enough by helping you track your intake throughout the day. Unlike similar apps, it allows you to record any type of fluid. It also allows you to receive notifications, earn rewards, and record data to the Apple Health app.

If you’re always feeling sluggish, give My Water Balance a try. You may just be dehydrated. The app is made even more useful if you have an Apple Watch since you can record your intake from your wrist.

It’s all about the liquids. This won’t help you track food or calories.

Want to know everything about your photos? Just activate ViewExif and that metadata is all yours. To do so, launch the Photos app and select any photo. Then tap the “Share” button and scroll across the bottom until you see the “More” button. The proceeding menu will allow you to activate ViewExif. After it has been activated, you can pull up Exif metadata for photos within the native Photos app or any third-party photography app. Exif metadata includes everything from dimensions of photos and the exposure time to the date taken and location.

If you’re interested in finding out what settings and tools were used to take your photos, ViewExif is the perfect app for you.

If you’re not running iOS 8, ViewExif is useless to you.
