Alcometer 4.0.1.6

Keep track of your drinks and get an estimate on the blood alcohol level with a neat tool
Having a couple of drinks with friends can lead sometimes to ingesting a bit too much alcohol than is allowed for being able to drive back home, but with a trusty helper at your side, you can get an idea on when it is safe to get back behind the wheel.

Alcometer is a cool app made for Windows Phone users who are eager to know the exact time when they will be sober again and also for those who like to keep tabs on their alcoholic drink consumption.

Appealing looks, with smooth graphics

This utility greets you with a beautiful interface that sports some high-quality background images and cool transparency effects, with carefully designed graphics that are consistent from end to end.

The navigation inside the application is fluent, so you will have a pleasant experience when browsing through the various menus. Occasionally, a prompt will appear asking you to make a donation to support the developer.

Choose drinks and customize them on the spot

In the main screen of Alcometer you can enter the required details for the person you are trying to get the readings and these include the weight, gender, average alcohol consumption and the amount of food consumed before starting to drink.

The following section is the one where you add to the list all the shots, cocktails, beers and wine glasses, along with some very important data. The exact time of consumption is great to have, as is the amount and alcoholic strength of each beverage.

Each entry can be modified as you see fit, so you can even change the drink names and add new ones to the app's database so you can easily add them the next time they are consumed.

Detailed info on the live tile, on the Glance and lock screens

With Alcometer you can check out the estimated blood alcohol level and the approximate time when you will be completely sober from the dedicated section that is the third and last screen you can go through.

Other information like the amount of calories reported to the quantity of alcohol you ingested and the maximum BAC level are also shown in there, thanks to some nicely animated tiles.

The shortcut you can pin to the Start screen is able to display most of these details, along with the hour you had the last drink and the total number of beverages.

A great thing about this app is that you can have it show the current and maximum BAC levels as well as the estimated time of sobriety onto the lock screen and on the Glance screen, if your device supports this feature.

Bottom Line
Design / UI10
 

The application comes with a really beautiful GUI that combines cool backgrounds, animated tiles and transparent graphics to offer a memorable experience.

Function8
 

Well equipped with some neat features that help users get a lot of useful info at a glance, the utility could use a means of exporting the data.

Security7
 

Alcometer needs to look at the phone and owner identities for some reason and it comes with the anonymous data collection feature turned on.

Battery5
 

The battery usage is quite noticeable if the app is kept running constantly, so it will take up a lot of power.

Price10
 

Everything inside this utility is free to use and the occasional prompts for a donation are not too intrusive.

Compatibility10
 

The wide majority of Windows Phone users can take this application for a test drive as it only needs version 7.5 of the operating system.
