Maybe the best!

While I have tried all the cocktail apps out there, this is the best of the ones I’ve tried. Craft cocktails, great variety, and very classy look.

Almost great

Has the developer abandoned the app? It is so close to being great. Really needs quality of life improvements such as: being able to sort your favorites and custom cocktails; needs a notification method for notes you may enter. Improved modern pantry; a way to ensure uniformity upon entries such as with drop down menus.
Hoping to see upgrades to a very good app.

Handy cocktail app for the home

Love exploring the app to create new drinks! We are expanding our home bar and have found this extremely helpful! The only thing I wish the developers would add would be an add your own cocktail recipes.

Go To App

Very large selection of recipes, searchable by ingredient. Even better than the late Mixology app R.I.P. in that user can save their own recipes.

cross device account sync

wrote about this a year ago but still hasnt happened. if you put this app on two separate devices but one account, your favs, bar inventory, notes etc don’t sync. would also like to see “notes” highlighted here add. notes so you can be aware you entered some. great if you made notes months ago and forgot.

Game changer

This app is EVERYTHING I was looking for in a cocktail app. I LOVE that the premium version is a one time purchase. This has exponentially upped our home bar game!

My go to cocktail app!!

This cocktail app is beautifully designed and easy to navigate, making it simple to discover new drinks. The recipe library is extensive, with clear instructions and gorgeous photos that inspire you to try something new. I especially love the ability to save favorites and create shopping lists directly from the app. It’s a must-have for both beginners and seasoned cocktail enthusiasts.

Mixing Made Easy (With Room to Grow)

Update 2025-08-14: Thank you for the strength filter tip. Perfecto!

BarSpoon is a well-designed, easy-to-use app that makes home mixing a breeze. I love being able to store my recipes, add notes, and “heart” my favorites for quick access.

To make it even better, I’d love to see:

• Search by strength (e.g. low ABV, mocktail, non-alcoholic)
• Recipe scaling for adjusting quantities from 1 drink to 2+

These features would add flexibility without complicating the clean interface. Great app overall—excited to see how it evolves!

Bottoms Up

I don’t write reviews. But this app is great. My only gripe would be for it to rotate to landscape on the iPad and my favorites to sync between the phone and iPad.

It’s got a beautiful look and the content is exceptional. Worth the premium buy for sure.

The BEST Cocktail App

I’ve tried all the pay-for-play bar apps and seriously, none of them can compare to the BarSpoon app. I tell all my friends about it and I use it all the time as I have a pretty extensive home bar. It motivates me to make drinks I would have never thought of.

If I could suggest one thing though - for the drink recipes that I can make with the ingredients in my bar - please make a “surprise me” selection or a way to filter recipes by base liquor so that way when I feel like having a certain base then I can pull up recipes that I can make using it.

Regardless, I don’t use my other app for my cocktail recipes. Thank you for making this app! The interface if classy, the drinks are amazing.

Unresponsive in app keyboard

Heard so many good things about this app, and was left thoroughly disappointed with the laggy unresponsive keyboard typing. Please fix this and you’ll have something great. Cheers

Hello there, Thank you for your feedback. To provide more information about your issue, please send us a direct email at info@barspoonapp.com. We’ve never encountered any keyboard problems with anyone before.

Decent

Missing a lot of information and key capabilities. But it’s a good start. The UI is nice. The UX needs some work. Database of spirits is lacking.

Ugh so close

After trying almost every cocktail app on the App Store, I thought I finally found the one. Aesthetic, organized, almost perfect. The dealbreaker is sharing the recipe with others. When you share link it forces recipients to open the app if they have it. Or download the app if they don’t. If they’re opening the link on desktop they are totally out of luck. Impossible. There’s not even a PDF option. I just want to share my creations with my friends. Developers: if you fix this you’ll get 4 stars from me. Add a web based version for editing and a cloud backup, and you’ll get 5 stars and a subscription!

Response from developer

Hello YoungBeej, and thank you for your review. First, the BarSpoon app is designed as a mobile-based application, with the core idea being that you can have all your cocktail recipes conveniently in your pocket. In today’s mobile world, it’s much easier to access everything from your phone. Second, many of the recipes in the app are paid content, so creating a desktop or PDF version would go against the app’s purpose by making everything freely available, which is not our model. If you prefer free recipes, you can always search for cocktails online. Third, you mentioned that you’d like to share your personal recipes with friends and would consider subscribing if we changed our approach. However, the only way to share personal recipes within the app is through a subscription, which it appears you don’t currently have. As a small development team, negative reviews make it harder for us to continue improving the app, but we appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your time, and we hope you find the perfect cocktail app for your needs in the future.
