My one con, I wish you had an option to double a drink. I dislike having to make the drink twice or customize a whole new drink altogether, it should be a simple option ### 4/5 — Great for newcomers *2026-06-26* I got the Barsys for Christmas and I have used it a few times. I don’t like how after I enter all my liquors and mixes that I will get a recipe for something but it needs other ingredients. Why? Only show me what I can make with what I have. I like that I can add custom drinks that are specialty drinks. ### 3/5 — Bittersweet *2026-06-05* I love it when it when works but most of the time my coaster doesn’t register that the cup is already on it. I’ve tried resetting it && unplugged. **Developer response:** Hey Trice09, For the Coaster to register the glass properly, please wait until the app prompts you to place the glass on the Coaster. If you place the glass on the Coaster before the prompt appears, it may not detect or register the glass correctly. Once the app gives you the instruction, place the glass on the Coaster and continue with the drink-making process. ### 3/5 — First impressions *2026-05-23* Works good but wish it would tell me exactly which of my ingredients to use **Developer response:** Thanks for trying us out! Quick tip — ask BarBot "what can I make from my bar" and it'll filter to drinks you can pour right now from your bottles. If you have other ideas or run into anything, email us at contact@barsys.com. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-22* Really like all the recipe suggestions and makes a great drink. ### 5/5 — Best one so far!! *2026-05-22* Best app Barsys has made yet!! The AI is so helpful!! ### 5/5 — Fun and Educational *2026-05-05* This app has helped me with so many drink making needs. I can ask it just about anything, and whenever I get a recipe I love, i’m able to save it and come back to it whenever I want. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2026-05-01* Great upgrade ### 5/5 — Great new updates *2026-05-01* The new features are amazing, the barbot is very cool, recommends amazing drinks. The new UI is easier to navigate. The most impressive part is the fact that I can take a picture of my liquor selection and the app can recommend drinks based on what I have. Very cool!! ### 5/5 — So cool *2026-05-01* Loved the chat option on this! Made it so easy and fun to pick a drink. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-07-18* The machine is not reading the cup that it comes with, but it reads my mason jar. I’ve only used it maybe twice and it’s not what I thought it would be. **Developer response:** Hi Brentney — thank you for giving Barsys a try, and I'm sorry the first pours haven't lived up to what you expected. That's on us to make right. What you're describing usually comes down to the glass sensor: it detects the weight of the vessel on the base, and the included cup is light enough that it can miss it if the cup isn't sitting centered on the platform — while a heavier mason jar registers every time. Two quick things to try: make sure the cup is empty and centered on the base before you start a pour, and check that your device is on the latest firmware (the app will prompt you under Control Center if an update is available). If it still won't detect the included cup after that, please reach out to us at support@barsys.com and mention this review — we'll get you sorted, whether that's a fix or a replacement cup. We'd love the chance to turn this into the experience you signed up for. 🍸 — The Barsys Team ### 1/5 — Learning pains early on. *2026-07-17* Not fully functional most of the time. Frequently loses Bluetooth connectivity but still getting used to it. **Developer response:** Hi — thanks for sticking with it through the early bumps, and sorry the Bluetooth connection has been dropping on you. That's not the experience we want, and it's usually fixable. A few things that help: keep your phone within a few feet of the device while crafting, make sure the app is on the latest version (we've shipped several updates recently that reconnect to your Barsys automatically when the app opens, instead of making you re-pair), and if a drop does happen mid-session, just reopen the app — it should pick the device right back up. If the drops keep happening after updating, email us at support@barsys.com with your device model and we'll dig into it with you directly. The learning curve should flatten fast from here — and we'd love to hear how it's going once it does. — The Barsys Team ### 1/5 — Issues *2026-06-07* This app has some serious issues. There is no way to search, no way to edit custom drinks and some options say one thing and do another. Not happy with this at all. **Developer response:** Hey MarcSift888, Yes, you can search for recipes, cocktail kits, and ingredients in the Barsys app. On the Explore page, you can open the Recipes section and use the search bar at the top of the recipe page to look up any drink recipe. You can also search for cocktail kits from the Cocktail Kits section within the Explore page using the search bar at the top. To search for ingredients, go to the My Bar page and tap Add Ingredient. This will open the ingredient search option, where your keyboard will appear and you can search for any ingredient you want to add to your bar. You can also customize drinks in two ways. First, you can open any recipe, scroll down to the ingredients, and use the plus or minus buttons next to each ingredient to adjust the quantity and create a customized version of that drink. Second, you can create your own custom drink based on the ingredients you already have in My Bar. Tap the plus icon in the top-right corner, select the ingredients you want to use, and adjust the quantity for each one to build your own recipe. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-05-03* Can’t add ingredients manually, can’t create own drinks, no way to import my creations from old app. somehow worse than previous app. **Developer response:** Hi DDot1981 — thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry for the rough first impression. You're right that 1.0.1 was missing manual ingredient adding and custom recipe creation. Both are landing in 1.0.2, currently in App Review: • Search ingredients by name — type "bourbon" or "lime juice" and add to your bar in seconds. The catalog now includes 230+ common bottles and mixers, no photo required. • Build a Cocktail — design a custom drink from what's in your bar, name it, save to "My Drinks," and craft it on your Barsys device if you have one paired. On importing your creations from the old app — that's a real gap, and we don't have a one-click migration yet. If you email us at support@barsys.com with a few of the drink names you've lost, we'll see what we can pull from the legacy database while we work on a proper migration path. Hoping you'll give 1.0.2 a shot. Thanks for sticking with us. — The Barsys team ### 2/5 — Bad for Custom Drinks *2026-07-04* If you want to save your own recipes in the app - don’t. Any attempt to upload a photo freezes the app, there is no place for notes or instructions, and they took away the features to select glass type, ice type, garnish, and additional mixers that require drops/dashes/barspoons. Worse than the previous app. **Developer response:** Hi — thank you for laying this out so specifically; this is exactly the feedback we build from, and you weren't wrong on any of it. The good news: the photo freeze is fixed in our latest update — full-resolution photos were overwhelming the save process, and they're now processed properly, so adding a picture to your recipe won't lock the app anymore. Please update to the newest version and give it another shot. We've also been rebuilding the custom drink experience based on feedback like yours — richer recipe details (garnish and finishing touches among them) are part of the update we're rolling out now, with more of what you're missing from the previous app on the roadmap right behind it. If you update and anything still falls short, email support@barsys.com and mention this review — we'd genuinely value a power user like you pressure-testing the new version. We want the app to be the best part of owning a Barsys, not the reason you miss the old one. — The Barsys Team ### 2/5 — Unable to log in on iPad *2026-07-02* Downloaded app on iPhone works, logged in. I don’t want to be limited to having to have my phone near me, so I downloaded the app on my iPad and when I try to log in I received an error message unable to login. I have removed the app and reinstalled it same thing, I waited for the newest update, still unable to login in. If this is unable to be used with my iPad I will be disappointed with the purchase I have made. **Developer response:** Hi Rufus — sorry about the wall you hit, and you're right to expect the app to work on your iPad; not being tethered to your phone is the whole point. Since you wrote this, we shipped an update specifically focused on iPad: the app now runs as a first-class iPad experience — layouts built for the bigger screen, and the sign-in issues on iPad addressed along with it. Please update to the latest version from the App Store on your iPad and try logging in again with the same account you use on your iPhone. If you still see a login error after updating, email us at support@barsys.com with the exact message on the screen and we'll get you in — we won't leave you stuck. Your Barsys should work from whichever device is in your hand. — The Barsys Team ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2026-06-29* I have all the ingredients and the app tells I’m low and refuses to craft the cocktail. Frustrating ### 2/5 — First time using review *2026-06-11* The liquid splashed everywhere as pouring. It keeps stopping saying the shaker wasn’t on a flat surface but it is. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for flagging this, and sorry about the splashing and the false "not on a flat surface" message with your Shaker Pro. Our team is actively working on a fix for this issue, and we'll update you here as soon as it's resolved. ### 2/5 — Set Up and Recipe Search Horror *2026-06-08* I have had a hard time setting the coaster 2.0 up. It doesn’t register items I take pictures of and so I have to manually insert every mixer and liquor I have. The ai option on the app doesn’t answer the recipe prompts I send it even though I am just pressing one of the already created ones, I don’t even try to make my own up. **Developer response:** Hi, and thank you for the honest feedback — sorry the setup and scanning let you down. We hear you, and our latest update directly fixes all three: ingredient photo scanning now reliably recognizes and adds your bottles and mixers, the AI bartender responds properly to recipe prompts (including the suggested ones), and Coaster 2.0 setup is smoother with guided reconnect. Please update and give it another try — and if anything still feels off, email support@barsys.com so we can make it right. Cheers! ### 2/5 — Configuring your device it’s like pulling teeth *2026-05-24* Setting up the device was very cumbersome using the device you felt like just doing it yourself, it to impress others, but using it daily, not so much. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear setup gave you trouble. Which device are you on — Coaster 2.0, Shaker Pro, or Barsys 360? And which step gave you the most grief? Email contact@barsys.com with the details and someone on the team will walk you through it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-09* Love how easy this is to use, just be sure you download the correct Barsys AI application! ### 5/5 — First time *2026-07-05* Craft drink found on line worked perfectly 🍸 ### 5/5 — Brown Derby *2026-06-21* Absolutely fantastic product ### 5/5 — Christening the Barsys Shaker Pro *2026-06-19* For my opening cocktail with the new Barsys Shankar Pro, I went with a margarita but I added in a little simple syrup and used both Cointreau and Grand Marnier. The spinning blender is pretty intense! It certainly mixes up the cocktail in a delicious way and when I put ice into the shaker after pouring all the ingredients and closed and picked up the shaker, I thought the weight and feeling of the shaker in my hand was really extraordinary! The cocktail itself came out perfectly. I think I’m going to really enjoy this new product from Barsys! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-16* So cool and innovative!! Takes all the guesswork out of drinking! ### 5/5 — Very much pleased *2026-06-07* Best bartender ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-02* Accurate and easy way to make a drink! ### 5/5 — Never thought I’d see the day *2026-05-31* This is so cool! I wish I could gift one to all of my friends. It’s truly a cool experience. They make it so easy to load, use and clean. The machine works well when the WiFi is strong and doesn’t need much more assistance once set up. Easily changeable for different cocktail options. I love that it learns what you like over time with use. The app is very helpful in curated a drink to your mood. “Instead of a fixed drink list, you get a curated set of cocktails and mocktails you can actually craft from what’s already inside. It’s like Spotify for your bar: personalized, dynamic, and always ready to suggest something great.” Like how freaking cool of a party trick with that be. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-05-22* The Barsys ai app is great! Easy to use and navigate, and the Barbot feature is wonderful with this new update. It gives very intuitive prompts to help me figure out what cocktails I would like to make. ### 5/5 — AI Bar Cool Bar *2026-05-22* High technology bar AI, I like it a lot. Very cool. Recommend it! Definitely should try it out. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
