### 5/5 — Excellent customer service!

*2026-05-21, version 3.0.10*

This has been the best cocktail app I’ve used. I did encounter a strange issue casing the app to crash. They reached out to me and through their support discord server. My problem was fixed in a few days, Melanie was great!

### 4/5 — App has improved

*2026-03-26, version 3.0.10*

I originally rated this as 3 stars but have increased it to 4.  They have improved the app, updating it with new cocktails and the ability to personalize it more.  It is definitely worth downloading.  I’d like to see more ingredients added and more brand names used especially when it comes to amaro & rums.

### 5/5 — The Cocktail App

*2026-02-15, version 3.0.10*

I have tried many different apps, books, and web resources for cocktails. This is the best. I used to work in cocktail bars and still help out with special events on weekends. I have a pretty sizable home bar and want to be able to make as many classic and creative cocktails with my home inventory as possible. This app makes it so easy. I love the ingredient organization, icons that reflect popular brands, and recommendations for specific bottles. It’s great to see which ingredients added to my bar can add the most new cocktails. This is super helpful in prioritizing what to add next to the collection. I wish apps were designed this thoughtfully for every other aspect of life. Thank you development team!

### 4/5 — Great app, with a couple of caveats

*2025-11-11, version 3.0.10*

I love the user interface of this app, especially the ability to see what and how many ingredients you’re missing to make particular drinks. I also appreciate that they’re adding new cocktails all the time. One quirk that needs addressing is when adding a custom drink, even though it allows you to add many ingredients, only 4 ingredients are visible as you’re editing; so if you need to change something that’s not displayed, it’s quite difficult to do. I also wish custom drinks would show up in a search without having to go to a separate list, but that isn’t a huge deal—just a minor inconvenience. Overall, great app that I use multiple times per week.

### 4/5 — Great App- But Some Discrepancy Between App & Website

*2025-10-17, version 3.0.10*

I love this app, and I use it all the time! It helps me try cocktails and ingredients I never would have thought of combining. That being said, I have found that some recipes are on their website, but not in the app. An example of this is the Rattle Skull cocktail. I hope they manage to update each database to match, because now I feel like I’ve just been missing out on other recipes. Otherwise, this is a wonderful app, and I hope to see more updates in their Collections sections.

### 5/5 — Finally the app I was looking for

*2025-10-12, version 3.0.10*

Awesome dynamic UI for me to create and save my own recipes with notes, and tags! Searching is easy and this app is perfect if you want to find drinks that suit your mood at the time. Extensive collection of drinks built-in with all the ingredients you can think of to narrow your search. I hope this app lasts forever.

### 1/5 — Very limited library.

*2025-10-10, version 3.0.10*

With the ingredients that I am able to add to the list there are only 49 drinks it comes up with whilst in other apps there are over 750. Not worth the money, time & effort

### 5/5 — Cheers to this app

*2025-10-06, version 3.0.10*

I have been using this since 2020, and it has not let me down. One feature I’d love to see added is a random cocktail generator from ingredients on hand.

### 2/5 — Confusing to navigate

*2025-05-17, version 3.0.9*

I found this app very hard to navigate. I clicked on the items I had on-hand, but then when I asked what cocktails I could make with that , it gave me all sorts of drinks I couldn’t  make, because the app really-checked all the boxes of the items I DIDN’T have on hand!! Very frustrating,

### 4/5 — Cool drink app

*2025-05-10, version 3.0.9*

I like that I can put my ingredients in and find drinks I can make from them. Moves that there are recommended ingredients and recipes that I only need one or two ingredients. Would be spot nice to create a shopping list from ingredients, recommended ingredients, or recipes that I want to serve at a party (like how much vodka, triple sec, & roses lime to make a pitcher of kamikazes; yes, I started drinking In the eighties).
