Nice interface, very readable. Only App I’m aware of with the 2021 guidelines. ### 5/5 — Best layout *2015-07-18* I've used the other BJCP guideline apps and this one is the best laid out to me with easy access to everything in the entire guideline. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WTF did you do to this app?!? *2026-02-11* This was a great app for referencing the BJCP guidelines, and now it’s worthless ### 1/5 — No current bjcp guidelines *2024-03-25* No idea why but this is only current up to 2015! Why ### 1/5 — BUG STILL NOT FIXED! *2022-04-13, version 2022.2* First, there is a bug that won’t allow the 20A, 20B, and 20C categories to be favorited. Please fix that. Second, I don’t understand why previous style guide versions were removed. Please reinsert all previous style guidelines, namely the 2015/2008 BJCP Styles Guidelines and the 2020/2021 BA Style Guidelines (and any others). Other than that this is a great app. Get back to a 5-Star review by making the above IMPROVEMENTS. ### 3/5 — Samesies *2023-08-19* This is the same as the rest. Using the underlines available from the source and packing it up in an iOS package. Just a reader for a text file. Nothing novel. At all. Missing older guidelines as well. Text costs pennies to host so to not include them is lazy and maddening to everyone who is a judge. ### 3/5 — Helpful but… *2023-01-30* This is only the beer styles. It’s missing all the cider, mead, and perry guidelines in BJCP even if they didn’t change from 2015 they should be included so you can use 1 app for all BJCP. ### 4/5 — UPDATE (6/19/2023) *2023-06-19* UPDATE (6/19/2023) Just now seeing that (some of) the earlier bugs outlined were addressed. Upgraded to a 4-Star rating (the original 2008 BJCP Styles were not re-added). —— —— BUG STILL NOT FIXED! First, there is a bug that won’t allow the 20A, 20B, and 20C categories to be favorited.

When something is amiss the developer addresses the problem quickly. ### 5/5 — Great streamlined app *2026-02-12* This app is great for pulling up guidelines when judging, or just Reading through them. There’s not very many of these and this is the best one that I found. Also have the newest guidelines available and was updated quickly after the BJP guidelines were published. I appreciate how smooth the interface is and how organized the information is so you can find what you need to find. ### 5/5 — Exceptional! *2025-10-01* Great for training using the cell phone ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-03-08* App stays updated with the latest styles and info, great resource ### 5/5 — Great App For Beer Lovers! *2025-02-20* I have downloaded many beer styles PDF files over the years. Appreciate having all of the info in one convenient app. The simplicity is perfect. No more scrolling through hundreds of pages in the PDF files. Thanks for doing this! ### 5/5 — Awesome resource for pro and homebrewers! *2023-09-22* Love it! ### 5/5 — The only app with the updated styles *2023-05-30* Thank you! ### 5/5 — Thank You! *2022-12-21* I’ve been waiting for an app with the 2021 BJCP guidelines. Not only does this app deliver, but users can toggle between different guidelines. This is the one. ### 5/5 — Flawless *2022-11-01* Simple and clean. Includes 2021 guidelines too ### 5/5 — BJCP 2021 Guidelines *2022-10-08* Really great app, updated with the new guidelines. Like the interface and the ease of navigation. Major appreciation to the developer for this one! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
