Absolutely brilliant app do yourself a favour and get it. **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Cocktails !! Yes please *2026-08-28* Want to take the hassle out of making cocktails ?? Can’t decide what to make tonight? Want to create your own recipes? Want all your recipes in the one place!! Thousand of cocktails all at your fingertips!!! The Cocktails by Steve is app is your guide to levelling up your cocktail game. The app has always been fantastic but Steve works hard to make it even better, constant improvement, more features (most of the time before you knew it was a feature you needed) and first class usability. Do yourself a favour just get the app!! ### 5/5 — Updated *2026-08-19* The app updates often. I’ve only done the basic (free) version so far but I’m considering the paid upgraded version. Very impressed with the basic app so far. **Developer response:** I’m glad to hear you’re impressed with my app! I’ve been releasing a new version every 3-4 days for the past 4+ months and it’s come a long, long way! There are currently 650+ recipes in the free app with 1-2 new recipes added every week. And, if you opt to unlock any of the premium recipe collections, you can unlock up to 450+ recipes (with more to come). Cheers! ### 5/5 — This is THE most worthwhile cocktail app! *2026-07-31* This is probably the best cocktail app out there, and I’ve tried quite a few. When planning a party, I wanted to do a couple large volume cocktails for guests to self serve from. The batch mix feature took all the math (since my math never maths right, because I live in a non-metric society), and figures everything out based on how much you want to make. If you’re new to cocktails or have it pretty well figured out and just need a quick reference or some new ideas, GET THIS APP! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-21* This app is light-years beyond anything I’ve tried so far. I can’t believe how Steve thought of everything we’ve always wanted and packaged it all into one app! The Drink Roulette feature is fantastic because my wife never knows what she wants to drink, so it makes my life as the at-home bartender much easier. The ability to comment, rate drinks, create lists, add filters, and customize your experience means everything you could want is already there. Best of all, Steve genuinely listens to his viewers and incorporates their feedback. It’s obvious from how thoughtfully this app was designed and put together! ### 5/5 — By Far Number One App for Cocktails *2026-07-13* I have tried several other apps for cocktails. Finding none sufficient in scope or efficient in use, I had made a Numbers File to store cocktials I had tried with links or references to the source. This app is a godsend. The data base is great and provides easy relationships to relevant elements. Your bar ingredients, cocktails you have tried from app’s data base, an ability to add your own recipes, suggestions for new to try base on your bar, cocktails you could make with an addition to your bar ingredients. This plus beautiful photos and frequent links to videos of Steve preparing the cocktail. I had watched his You Tube vides in the past and liked his manner, technique and personality only put off my his pushing his gins and spirits made in Australia and unavailable to me. I URGE you to try the is app. I have NEVER written a review this long or laudatory. In fact I rarely ever write a review. This app is on iOS, and Mac OS. I have it on my iPhone and iPad, they link and provide an easy way to use your phone in the kitchen to try a new recipe. ### 5/5 — Great Bar App *2026-07-11* I’ve tried a few bar apps,this is by far the best. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-06-25* There's a lot to like here. The recipes and photos along with quotes and the books they come from are great. The advanced filtering options are also welcome. The developer is also responsive and gracious to feedback. Well done! **Developer response:** Thanks for alerting me to this! Most people use search or apply filters which shortens the list prior to scrolling so it’s gone unnoticed/unreported until now. The issue has been fixed, it requires updating to 1.6.5. Cheers! ### 3/5 — Promising but not performant *2026-06-19, version 1.6.4* There's a lot to like here. The recipes and photos along with quotes and the books they come from are great. The advanced filtering options are also welcome. However, the app has problems scrolling through the large list of cocktails available. My device (iPhone 16 Pro) heats up and scrolling performance gets worse and worse the further I scroll through the cocktail list. I think some performance tuning is needed here. Otherwise great app ### 5/5 — Best of the cocktail apps *2026-06-05* This is my go to app now. I just need to see if there is a good way to export my recipes from AnyList to Cocktails by Steve I love that you inventory what you have and it shows you the options you can make. Just what I was looking for. Now I just wish the InApp purchasing better. I just want a quick way to get to selecting the options and seeing how they differ. Though I just want to pay $18 for everything to support Steve. Love his book that I bought. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! I sent an email regarding AnyList and In-app Purchased but haven’t heard back.. feel free to touch base so we can discuss 👍 ## Frequently asked questions about Cocktails by Steve ### How many cocktail recipes does Cocktails by Steve offer?
