### 1/5 — Broken

*2022-11-02*

It looks like this app is broken and not supported. Off flavours section crashes the app when trying to obtain more info on each note. Shame.

### 2/5 — Fix the SRM photo feature

*2021-04-03, version 1.4.0*

Unfortunately, this feature ONLY works on real devices

? What does this mean. $3.99 is a little steep for what this app does - it has potential but needs some work

### 3/5 — Expensive, not worth the money

*2020-03-15, version 1.4.0*

Don’t know why this app costs $2.99 AUD, all you get is a flavour wheel from beerflavourwheel.com (free), a list of common of flavour and their cause and an srm eyedropper. Wouldn’t recommend it

### 1/5 — Lame

*2019-03-03*

Same tools and info in other free apps that have more knowledge and content. Fell ripped off.

### 4/5 — Really great app!

*2018-08-04*

I’m studying for the BJCP exam, and the category of off-flavors and the descriptive terminology provided on the flavor wheel is really great!  As a homebrewer, I think the SRM guide is terribly useful, too!

### 1/5 — $1.99 for a Lackluster App with Limited Functionality or Benefit

*2017-03-28*

The app itself is relatively unavailing and not very extensive. A novice could build this app after taking a one-week course online. When there are so many free options available I had hoped to get some value for what I spent, but unfortunately that was not the case.

### 4/5 — Please make it enlargeable

*2017-02-23*

Great app, I just wish I could enlarge the wheel to read it better.

### 4/5 — Beer Judge - Great Study Tool

*2017-02-03*

I'm enjoying this app to help me study for my Certified Cicerone, but the analyzer needs some work. I'm not sure what perfect conditions you need to be in to use the camera, but it never matches the beer I'm checking.

### 4/5 — Handy yet a bit pricy

*2016-12-27*

I use this a few times a year to find the right wording for a review. Not really mandatory yet handy. Could have a better cross reference with BJCP beer styles as an enhancement.

### 5/5 — Super helpful!

*2016-11-23*

The wheel of flavors and the off flavors tab is the must have!
