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.

Ehh

This app is extremely low function.
None of my picture will load, you can’t edit your cellar once an addition has been made, and most beers aren’t in the database. Essentially just a list maker. If I wasn’t >100 beers in I’d change apps...

Absolutely indispensable

Absolutely indispensable for a beer lover. I can look up just about any beer I find before risking blowing money and beer-time on potential pig swill. It also saves my ratings sk I can look up whether I’ve had it or not.

It won’t post the picture to Facebook

I used to love this app, but now when I try to Share a beer on Facebook it posts some random picture instead of the beer that I am trying to post about.

Good but when is next update?

Two main beefs: any apostrophe, quotation mark, dash, etc. is rendered as a question mark—super annoying. Maybe only an issue with iPhones? Second, when you make a mistake upon entering a new beer’s info, you should be able to edit to fix it.

Works well but have recommendations

This app used to have issues in the past but it has been working quite well over the last few years. A few recommendations would be to be able to report if an incorrect image is associated with an entry, but also editing ability when you make a mistake after submitting an entry. I have submitted a few beers and have had to make a second entry because it would not allow me to correct a typo (although I can update my submitted images - nice feature).

The wide variety of beers make this a much better app than many of the other beer apps that I have installed and later uninstalled.

Doesn’t work for me

Doesn’t let me add friends and keeps crashing.

BrewGene

Update is great!!! I would pay for a UPC scan feature, or image scan, etc... to look up a beer quickly while I’m in a store.

Slow

Good concept.... however, it’s super slow. Takes forever to search for beers and load any information.

Needs much more flexibility

Cannot change / revise anything.
Cannot delete a previous entry.

Your personal beer journal!

This app is great. I have been a member since 2013 and I just started using again after a year or so. I kind of miss the old layout but that doesn't change the fact this app does what it's meant to! Thank you so much. Looking through my old reviews brought me back to a different time and that's awesome. So many memories through my beer ratings. Cheers!

Not sure what went wrong...

Used to use...even till a couple weeks ago, but for some reason, on the latest iOS, the app will NOT open...instantly crashes every time!

Great App

Great app so far. I use this app to keep track of the beers I've tried. Read and write reviews. All the beers have an actual picture of the beer so you know it's the one your reaching, and has detailed descriptions.

Best app for beer fanatics!

Super useful app for those looking to record their favorite (or least favorite) beers. The recommendations can be helpful too. Overall a very very nice app for anyone on the beer spectrum.

Great for rating, tasting notes and keeping track

This app is great for making tasting notes and sharing your opinion and suggestions with others. The "Buddies" portion allows you to easily see if your friends also on the app have already tried a beer and what they think of it. It is also very helpful if you try lots of beers all the time and you can't remember all of them. If you go to a new place and think "have I had this beer before?" You can just check the app, and you'll know not only if you've had it before, but what you thought of it!
