### 5/5 — Explore Those Breweries

*2026-07-05, version 3.0.24*

A fun app geared towards exploring some great Michigan breweries!

### 5/5 — Best reason to visit GR!

*2026-01-01, version 2.8.39*

I’m exaggerating, but honestly I love visiting my family here and adding breweries every time I come!  This app is fantastic and really does help you get to know the city.  The fact that it’s tied into Experience Grand Rapids also allows you to search events happening in the area.  Love it!!

### 2/5 — Needs improvements

*2025-10-02, version 2.7.97*

The app should have a feature that suggests routes. People come from out of town not knowing what’s within walking distance. The app is what I would use to get directions

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2025-08-16, version 2.7.97*

Enjoyed using the app! Love that I can map things out. Made planning so easy. Great idea!

### 1/5 — App closes automatically

*2024-09-29, version 3.7.64*

After your last update, my app won’t stay open. Closed automatically after I open it.

### 3/5 — Good app, minor sorting glitch makes it a lot less useful

*2024-06-06, version 3.7.43*

I have allowed access to my location for the app, but it will not sort by “nearby”. It is always sorted alphabetically no matter whether I select “nearby” or “A to Z”. That requires opening a maps app to see nearby breweries, which is less than ideal.

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2024-03-29, version 3.7.31*

I have checked in before the new app. Every time it treats you as if you haven’t logged in. Can’t recheck in to do lists. It basically is a waste

### 1/5 — New version is BAD

*2024-03-16, version 3.7.25*

This app used to work well.  Now they changed it and you need to “migrate” to the new version every time you open it.  Lost half my check ins too!  Reminder: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

### 3/5 — Would be great for android

*2023-05-29, version 3.0.0*

Worked great for me on iphone but my wife has a new android and the app was not available for her to download so she got nothing even though i got a shirt and she went to all the breweries with me

### 4/5 — Fun helpful Ap!

*2022-05-04, version 3.0.0*

Very helpful finding locations I haven’t tried yet.   Only wish they would change the red pins, in the map, green, if you have checked in there.
