Where’s the 2021 guidelines? ### 1/5 — Broken *2013-07-14, version 2.0.0* Latest update does not load on Ios 5.1.1 iPod touch v3. Sure it'll look nice when it works but I can't tell ### 2/5 — Great App needs an update *2024-01-31, version 4.0.0* Great reference app but is unfortunately now outdated. If it gets updated I’ll change my review to 5 stars ### 2/5 — Needs to be updated *2023-04-21, version 4.0.0* Good info, but not the current (2021) revision of BJCP guidelines. PLEASE UPDATE!! ### 2/5 — Update to 2021 guidelines?? *2023-02-12, version 4.0.0* This app is useless without proper updating. ### 2/5 — Not updated *2023-01-22, version 4.0.0* App hasn’t been updated to the latest guidelines so not useful if studying to be a judge. ### 2/5 — Needs update for 2021 guidelines *2022-08-07, version 4.0.0* Other apps on Android already updated theirs to the 2021 style guidelines. Those apps have better features such as SRM color guide and favorites tab. Lots more features in their app not found in this one unless you pay for an upgrade. ### 3/5 — Well out of date *2023-06-04, version 4.0.0* Good resource but a shame they don’t update the app. Where’s NEIPA for instance? 21B should be Speciality IPA: New England.

Perhaps add pictures of beers, color pallets for beer color range, maybe more ingredient information. ### 5/5 — Homebrew must have! *2019-03-17, version 4.0.0* This app is the best when learning about styles. If you homebrew, use it to give calibrate your palate. ### 5/5 — Ditch Untappd, use this *2018-03-13* There are a lot of dummies out there who think Untappd is the way to go for craft beer apps. Those who want real knowledge instead of following the latest vapid trend use BJCP Style Guidelines. ### 5/5 — Simply amazing! *2018-01-23, version 3.0.2* If you love beer get this app! ### 5/5 — Awesome Beer Education App! *2017-11-01* Very helpful and so useful in moments when I need to refer to this app for beer style guidelines.
