### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-29*

The best cocktail app ever.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — A Gamechanger

*2026-05-27*

As someone who has jotted down recipes in notebooks and collected various books on the matter, it’s wonderful to have such a resource in the palm of my hand. There’s a large handful of drinks for every spirit or liqueur you can think of, and each one is presented with a helpful write-up and professional-grade photography. Highly recommended for casual drinkers as well as die-hards.

**Developer response:** Cheers for the kind words, especially regarding my photography! 🙏😅

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-05-22*

This is a good app for cocktails. The main thing that makes this stand out; links to instructional videos. A vast collection that is being constantly updated. So nice to input your personal bar and immediately have access to many suggested cocktails. A+

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-05-22*

Much easier than a book, links to videos showing how to make the cocktails and a huge variety to easily search. With the My Bar section I can now experiment with what I have on hand.

### 5/5 — The absolute Best Cocktail App Available!

*2026-05-22*

Well, of course that’s my opinion. And my opinion means a lot to me! (HaHa) 
Like many others, I have tried different apps for cocktails, but nothing compares to this. So far the app works flawlessly, the history of the cocktails and the simple layout for anyone to follow is amazing. Do yourself a favor and purchase this app, I am so thankful I did.

### 5/5 — Game Changer!

*2026-05-20*

Can’t tell you how fired up I am with this app!  Been watching, exploring, poring over Steve’s YouTube channel…wishing I had a way to easily access (and remember) everything I was gleaning from the channel.  

This app is absolutely the answer for ANY budding bartender (pro or home-bar) Can’t thank you enough!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-19*

Excellent app for cocktails! Steve is the best!

### 5/5 — Mixology masterpiece

*2026-05-17*

If you are a budding mixologist or someone who likes creating something new . Steve’s app, like his YouTube channel is a fantastic resource. Create your own bar with what you have on hand, then expand on it to open up a world of possibilities, drinks that you have never heard of that tantalise the taste of buds. Love it!! I have told all my friends !!

### 5/5 — The Ideal Home Bartender App

*2026-05-17*

This was exactly what I was looking for! The free tier lets me select what I have in my bar and find new recipes to try. The DLC for adding my own recipes or downloading new ones is not a subscription, which I appreciate. I’ve gone to Steve for cocktail recipes on YouTube for years and it’s great to know he’s the one behind this.

### 5/5 — Really impressed

*2026-05-06*

Love this app, especially the “my bar” section. Knowing what I can make with what I have is great.

### 5/5 — So far seems like a very good app.

*2026-04-27*

The app looks nice and already has many recipes.  I was occasionally having issues saving recipes but seems like recent update has fixed that. Definitely think I’ll be using this app more and more over time.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and your help via emails to ensure this issue was resolved. Fortunately the bug was only affecting a few people and I’m glad everything is working fine on your device now.

### 5/5 — Very easy to use and concise

*2026-04-08*

I’m loving this app. I’ve added everything in my bar and can select what to make.  But even better is it allows me to see what I came make with just one more ingredient.  Now I know what my bar lacks and can fill the gap. 
It’s feature rich and very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Give it a go.

*2026-04-08*

Great little App that seems to be growing day by day. Really like the My Bar feature which gives you a helpful hand when looking for inspiration for that next cocktail. Give it a go I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-08*

This app is unreal, simple to use and all your cocktails at your fingertips.
Right where you need them and knowing what’s in your cupboard.

### 5/5 — Genius!

*2026-04-08*

Such a simple idea, but the app is well executed and has unblocked so many new cocktails I didn’t know I had the ingredients to make , already on my shelves.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-04-08*

My favorite feature (so far) is entering what I have on hand and the app gives me a list of everything I can make with my ingredients!  Brilliant!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-04-07*

I’ve used several cocktail apps and this is, by far, the best.  Hundreds of drinks for any mood, season, or reason.  A “home bar” so you know exactly what drinks you can make, all with videos directly from Stevethebartender’s YouTube.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2026-04-07*

I have been following Steve for a while on Youtube so was happy to see this app.  It has been easy to use, good features and a very streamlined interface to input your personal bar items at hand to see what you can make.

### 5/5 — Originals and fun

*2026-04-07*

For once, it’s one of the few apps that really works and achieves its goals. Providing you with different levels of drinks, from basics (but good) to major ones. A nice to have for everyone!

### 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 — AMAZING APP

*2026-09-01*

the is more than an app it’s a bible of cocktails, even has the ability to work out batching for you. 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!

### 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 👍

### 5/5 — A Great Cocktail Resource

*2026-05-31*

This app is so useful! You can enter all the ingredients you have, you can filter by so many categories, and the recipes are terrific! 5 stars!

**Developer response:** I appreciate the kind words and I’m happy to hear you like all the methods to filter and find your perfect cocktail 🙌
