User Reviews: Brewer's Friend

  • Very Useful App

    This app is very user friendly and is a must on brew day. I like the simplicity of the water calculator versus bru’n water. I also like the inventory function. It helps me when I’m at the home brew shop so I don’t purchase hops or grains that I already have on hand.

    If your a beginner brewer or advanced I recommend trying this app!

  • Long appreciated update

    Wow…the old app screamed iOS4. After years, here’s a update! Yay! Looks clean. Loads fast. A few layout issues where text fields overlap in portrait mode. But hey - if they keep fixing things it will get better! Hope they don’t go into cold storage with this new app.

    AYMAN, thank you very much for taking the time to review the app. We have released a new version recently that addresses several layout issues and other tweaks to line the app and web experience up. We hope that you've gotten the update and are seeing the improvements. There are more updates to come. Cheers!
  • Did you even test it?

    I love Brewer's Friend, but the new app is so glitchy that is is unusable. There are no timers anymore, or they don't work. I had to exit the app in the middle of brewday, and the brew session I had started is completely missing. I deleted the app thinking there was a problem with install, and now nothing is available. No recipes, brew sessions, or anything else. I can view all of my info from my laptop, but this app is currently useless.
  • Fermentables issue

    Issue with fermentables menu instantly crashing.
  • Glitchy and unreliable

    Items added to inventory don’t appear right away which is confusing. The app frequently closes recipes for no reason losing unsaved data. It gets stuck in a loop pestering you for a premium upgrade that won’t go away. When adding ingredients to a recipe, the ingredient screen will disappear mid-addition without saving. Overall a buggy, frustrating, and unusable experience. The legacy app is far more usable and reliable.
