I won’t bother renewing in 2026. ### 4/5 — Never updated *2025-12-16, version 1.5.0* This app is really useful and has guided me to loads of new bars, however it’s not been updated in years. This could be such an awesome resource in helping pubs find new customers and broadening the appeal of real ale. If anyone in CAMRA is reading this, please bring this app back up to date, it’s a win - win. ### 3/5 — Worcester drinker *2025-11-27, version 1.5.0* I have to say that as a paid-up member of Camra I feel aggrieved at being asked to pay extra for the features on the app. Leaves a sour taste like an end- of-barrel pint. Not good. Should be a free app for members. ### 1/5 — GBG App *2025-10-31, version 1.5.0* The closing down of this app is the worst thing CAMRA have done in years!!! ### 1/5 — Now a bit pointless *2025-10-26, version 1.5.0* Sadly, since the most recent renewal of my subscription the app only works on WiFi. Yes I’ve checked my device settings. Now I need to find a pub with WiFi in order to find out whether it’s worth visiting. In an attempt to rectify the situation, I deleted the app but there was then no way to attach my subscription. A pity, when it worked the app was helpful. ### 1/5 — Dreadful app! *2025-08-22, version 1.5.0* Bloody useless and compromised by major POBs! ### 3/5 — Mr *2025-06-15, version 1.5.0* I have had this app for years now. My bug bear is that it never updates. Most of the newer beers aren’t on there and there are so many old beers which are not brewed anymore still on there. ### 4/5 — Views of an ale hunter *2025-04-09, version 1.5.0* The guide is excellent as a reference across the U.K. to all and CAMRA pubs. The only frustration is that there are quite a few pubs out there for whom the reviews are out of date by some considerable time. ### 4/5 — Great App but could be even better *2025-03-11, version 1.5.0* Love this App and it is invaluable when visiting somewhere I’m not familiar with. My only bugbear is with the map view. When you enter the map view from a search, move to a new location and search again when you re-enter the list view you see the pubs from your original search location - really annoying 🤯 ## Frequently asked questions about CAMRA's ### What does the Good Beer Guide app do?
