Can’t delete from my cellar

This app has been very useful but if you accidentally add something to your cellar you want to remove, too bad. There is no option to delete a cellar listing.

Good App except needs improvement

IPhone 11, IOS 14. This App is great for keeping up with brews I’ve tried and giving me leads on ones to try. There are issues in execution. First, anytime I use quotation marks or an apostrophe, after saving, it shows as a ?. Also often the listing of the address of the brewery is cut off and there doesn’t appear anyway to see it. Also, duplicate entries for the same brew should be easily reportable. Finally, it would be nice if it would alert me if I’m near somewhere that serves brews on my Watchlist. Update: 7/1/24 and still haven’t fixed the punctuation issues. Been 6 years since last update so I’m guessing they don’t support this App anymore?? Shame!

Love it!

I broke the magic 1000 beer ceiling in 2023 after years of diligent data entry. It’s a great cataloging data base and you can compare your thoughts with other reviewers. I’d easily give it 5 stars if the search function was more sophisticated. It is frustrating to scroll through lots of near misses when I type the exact name of the beer and then it doesn’t come up first on the list. Otherwise it’s great! Like Frosted Flakes.

Wish an UPDATE would happen!

Great app but wish an update would finally happen!

Too slow

I used to love this app but searches take WAY too long now. Too bad.
