### 4/5 — Needs one quick improvement

*2024-04-15*

nice sleek app and it allows pic thumbnails for each of your custom drink recipes. The only issue is that it’s too many clicks to get to your custom drink section. It should be easily accessible by just clicking the pic of the martini glass on the bottom and it goes straight there instead of then needing to pic what drink sections to proceed to.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2021-08-04*

Usefull app for a home bartender
