I'd give you four stars for the software if there was some medical or physiological basis behind what it's written for, but there's really no actual evidence to concept that you need to drink large amounts of water every day. Sure, you need water, but slavishly drinking it on a hard schedule? Flim-flam!
"[A study] found no scientific studies in support of 8 oz x 8 times a day. Rather, surveys of fluid intake on healthy adults of both genders, published as peer-reviewed documents, strongly suggest that such large amounts are not needed."

"The vast majority of healthy people adequately meet their daily hydration needs by letting thirst be their guide."

So yeah, IoM actually recommends drinking when you're thirsty, not on a schedule.
