### 1/5 — Just gives address phone and link to yelp

*2018-05-09*

Not worth the download. It's just a list with address phone and yelp link

### 2/5 — Lots of wrong info

*2018-04-25*

In my area, there are so many places that are listed in the wrong section. Theres a bowling alley is listed under breweries, gay bars listed under sports bars, and many others. How does one report this?

### 3/5 — Privacy

*2017-03-05*

Don't see why this app needs to "always" need my location. They need to allow the option to change to "while using app"

### 4/5 — Good

*2016-09-11*

It may quit unexpectedly but it's still good

### 2/5 — Onerous

*2016-04-12*

Having used one of the original happy hour tracking applications for quite some time, with diminishing satisfaction, this application provides nothing more than Apple Maps does, in terms of locating nearby watering holes. Provides little or no additional information about any specials/ happy hours. 
On a more cynical note, the application constantly tracks you, verse other similar applications that only track you when you're using the application.

### 5/5 — Best app on my phone!

*2014-08-21*

Simply put - because I drive an 18 wheeler, this is the quickest and easiest way to find out what's going on around each delivery location.

### 2/5 — Misleading Name

*2014-07-31*

App is called a bar and happy hour finder.. But it's just a bar finder.  Once you tap a bar's name it simply shows it on a map and gives you the option to call. No info on happy hours

### 1/5 — Incomplete at best

*2013-04-11*

This app fails the whim of any drinker. The listings are incomplete at best and there are no user modifications to even help the app.

### 1/5 — Has nothing

*2012-12-28, version 1.3*

This app had f all for anything inside canada

### 2/5 — Nice try but no cigar!

*2012-10-06, version 1.3*

It was a good concept but a lot of info is incorrect and the description of this app is misleading...
It does not tell you what the happy hours are
