### 1/5 — Won’t let me login

*2025-01-13, version 2.0.19*

Won’t let me login

### 1/5 — This so really sucks after last updates

*2025-01-11, version 2.0.19*

This app is so slow to load the establishment you are visiting. Before the last update, it was super fast, now it is just pitiful.
Please make it fast again.

### 2/5 — Good idea.. the app crashes all the time

*2024-12-22, version 2.0.19*

Good idea and we love using the app, but 95% of the time the app doesn’t work. It crashes when we try to check in or redeem.

### 1/5 — New App Sucks

*2024-12-09, version 2.0.18*

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE! IT WAS WAY BETTER BEFORE THE UPDATE? WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!!

Ever since the new version came out, it is a complete waste of time! I can be standing inside a location, trying to check in and it always says “Not Close Enough” This has happened on multiple occasions and it is very frustrating? Also my previous check ins from the last version of the app have disappeared? Sorry not impressed with this app!

### 2/5 — GPS in app is wrong

*2024-11-02, version 2.0.16*

I am at a bar listed on the App. I go to check in and it says I am not close enough. I checked address and it is correct. When I do directions, the phone is across the Street from the bar. I took pictures.

### 1/5 — App no longer works with iPhone

*2024-09-28*

Got a new phone, the app says it locked me out & I have to create a new account. Then it takes me to an oops something wrong screen. Deleted app and tried again. Same thing.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! I believe you mean Copper brewing? We do have many users successfully checking at that location, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to provide a few more details to our support@tourismo.co email such as your device and a screenshot so that we can troubleshoot your issue further? Happy to provide you compensatory points for your efforts, and we appreciate your feedback!

### 1/5 — Went downhill

*2024-09-23, version 2.0.13*

This app used to be very good. You could collect points when you went to a brewery and it gave info on the breweries around you. Was a cool app. But they recently changed it and now it is pretty crappy. Can’t see how many points you have. Says you already collected points when you didn’t etc. disappointing!

### 2/5 — Fix the Location Accuracy

*2024-09-20, version 2.0.13*

I love the concept of the app and the Ale Trail itself is a great way to market BC’s amazing craft beer, but nearly every check-in is a fight with the app to acknowledge the location. I’m writing this while sitting in the middle of Steamworks in Vancouver, and getting “too far away” when I try to check in.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2024-09-19, version 2.0.13*

App won’t even open. Cannot locate a person when he is inside the physical brewery. Crashes within seconds. Missing thousands of points. What can you use points for? Same con artists that designed Alberta Ale Trail App. It had all the same issues. And forget about getting tech support. Didn’t the BC Breweries talk to Alberta Breweries when these clowns bid on the update?

### 1/5 — New App Sucks

*2024-08-21*

Ever since the new version came out, it is a complete waste of time! I can be standing inside a location, trying to check in and it always says “Not Close Enough” 
This has happened on multiple occasions and it is very frustrating? Also my previous check ins from the last version of the app have disappeared?
Sorry not impressed with this app!

### 2/5 — Update

*2024-08-14, version 2.0.9*

Once the app updated I lost all my history and points.  Then part of my points returned but all my history is gone.  I had dozens of locations now just vanished.  App looks better but that’s it

### 1/5 — Missing points

*2024-08-13, version 2.0.8*

The new app is a disappointment! I’m missing over 3200 points. I’ve used this app for over many years and always told people to download it. I’m not sure I will tell anyone about this app if this is not resolved!

### 2/5 — Updated version not working well

*2024-08-09, version 2.0.7*

I have used this app regularly for several years and since the update I have had difficulties getting points. Twice now I have been in locations that I regularly frequent and collect points but with the update I get that I am not close enough even though I am in the location and have purchased beverages!

### 3/5 — It WAS good. Now, mediocre

*2024-08-02, version 2.0.7*

It’s now less usable. Why the changes?
Far too much “design” went in to the overhaul and now it’s just difficult to find the information I’m looking for.

### 2/5 — Not recognizing locations

*2024-08-01, version 2.0.5*

I’ve visited two breweries now and even when I’m standing at the bar it says too far away to check-in. I’ve walked around the brewery looking for where I need to check in, but it’s not working. It’s showing the brewery at the right location so who knows what’s going on.

It’s an ok app when it works.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-06-26, version 26.02.18*

I downloaded the app over a month ago. Created an account, and tried to verify, to which it says that the verification email was sent to my inbox. Nothing was ever sent. Checked spam/junk and still nothing. 

I reached out on IG and they told me I didn’t have an account. I took a screenshot of me trying to log in, where it shows that the email is already registered, and still nothing. I’ve been waiting for over a month for a resolution…. 

Time for another developer to create an app that actually works! The concept is great and fun! Just need an app that works….

### 1/5 — Not Receiving Verification Email

*2026-05-14, version 26.02.18*

Both my wife and I downloaded the app and created an account.  One of us on an Android device and the other on an iPhone.  Once registered and set to go, we both attempt to login but can’t until our emails are verified.  The app says an email has been sent but neither of us received one.  We check our junk mail and nothing there either.  We’ve both requested resend of verification email and nothing ever shows up.  I’ve now tried about 10 times to no avail.  Time to delete the app.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work.

*2025-05-24, version 2.1.0*

It doesn’t work on my iPad. IOS 18.5

### 1/5 — Version 2 update HORRIBLE

*2025-03-31, version 2.0.20*

This has got to be one of the worst app updates I’ve ever seen. The design, while attempting to be modern, is extremely difficult to understand. The icons you chose are not easy to understand and are not industry standard. You could have at least added some text next to the icons. There’s nowhere in the app I can figure out how or where to redeem my points anymore. It’s also says I have more points than I should, but I’ll take the free points! Did you do any user acceptance testing, or ask for feedback to determine if this update is good???

### 1/5 — This so really sucks after last updates

*2025-03-08, version 2.0.20*

This app is so slow to load the establishment you are visiting. Before the last update, it was super fast, now it is just pitiful.
Please make it fast again.

### 1/5 — So slow

*2025-03-02, version 2.0.20*

If there was a race between a snail and this app loading, the snail would win. It’s the slowest app to load, no matter if you’re on WiFi or data.. the speed from opening the app to trying to load and log your check in is atrocious. The app creators need to fix this!

### 1/5 — Painfully slow

*2025-02-23, version 2.0.20*

This app needs optimization BAD, it’s horribly slow for what little it does. Conflicts itself, I’ve checked in but my history shows no check in?

### 1/5 — I want to love this app

*2025-02-09, version 2.0.20*

It is very slow and often does not work at all. The idea is great.

### 1/5 — Rarely works

*2025-01-26, version 2.0.20*

Waste of time

### 1/5 — New Update

*2025-01-25, version 2.0.20*

Unusable since the update.

*2025-04-21, version 2.0.21*

The app was so painfully slow initially, but it’s now fixed and working really well!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-03-13, version 2.0.20*

Great app for finding pubs near me.   Working on building up my points!

### 5/5 — BeerJesus

*2024-08-05, version 2.0.7*

Love the new look! It’s easier to check in now. I tried so many times at my local before and it never worked. Rewardtown here I come!

### 5/5 — Great update

*2024-07-25, version 2.0.2*

The new version of the app seems to be much better. Worth the update!

### 5/5 — New app

*2024-07-24, version 2.0.2*

I love the new look!!

### 5/5 — Loving this app

*2022-11-16, version 1.4.0*

I use this app often to locate breweries in neighborhoods and communities I travel to around BC 
Comprehensive and informative it allows me to go to breweries I may not have known were nearby 
New improvements have made it even better

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2020-09-03, version 1.3.3*

I love this app, I’ve already used my points for a sweet discount for a  metal growler from Strange Fellows Brewing.

### 5/5 — I love exploring BC Ale Trails with this app

*2020-09-03, version 1.3.3*

If you enjoy drinking beer and find yourself living in or visiting British Columbia, this app will guide you in exploring all of the curated Ale Trails of our beautiful province. You can also collect & redeem points during your travels.  Cheers!

### 4/5 — Getting better

*2025-04-03, version 2.0.20*

The original app was great. Then came the second version no one asked for, published early in 2024. It was a terrible shock - nearly entirely unusable. But they’ve been working on fixes and improvements. This version seems to be fixed and functional now. I’m still not keen on how the data is organized, but that’s a matter of whats intuitive to you personally.
Overall, it’s a must-have app if you want to know what’s up in the beer world. And collecting points has gotten me some great deals.

### 4/5 — Better

*2025-03-24, version 2.0.20*

Fixed glitches
