What customers are saying :- 5 Star - Simon Difford DELIVERS (US iTunes Review Tiki Bar TV) ....Simon's books blend masterful mixology with absolutely gorgeous graphic design...... this app has the same classy design and fantastic cocktails as Simon's books. The writing is clean and witty. The drinks? Delicious. 5 Star - Fantastic!! (UK iTunes review) I didn't think that this application would be up to the same standard set by the book (which is THE definitive cocktail bible), but I couldn't have been more wrong! It's every bit as informative as the book, and the fact that it's interactive - it lists the cocktails that you can make from the drinks in your cabinet - makes it even easier to use. And at the price of half a pint of beer, it's astonishingly under-priced for such a brilliant application. 5 Star - Marvelous (UK iTunes review) Looks as good as the books, fits in the pocket....... ## Key features - 500+ cocktail recipes - Uses only 14 key ingredients - Full-screen color photographs - Expert comments and ratings - Manage your 'Cocktail Cabinet' - Search by name, rating, or ingredients - Email recipes to friends ## Recent user reviews (10 of 24) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cocktails-made-easy/id301207526/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Need an Update !!! *2018-06-06, version 1.3* 1) the UI is looking old 2) if you search for a specific drink , the app will crash 3) their’s no way to change the measurement unit ### 2/5 — a great app with flaws *2017-11-27, version 1.3* a very useful and well designed app. a bit buggy at first and now updated to ios 11 (with another purchase). based on the british Difford’s cocktail bible. their larger sister app for ipad was abandonwear. zero response to queries by designers. poor maintenance. available in book form. ### 4/5 — It's excellent for what it is intended *2017-06-04, version 1.02* I have been enjoying this app immensely since I bought it. Using it per it's description has been giving my friends and I a great time trying new drinks. The intention is to have a few select alcohols on hand and find what you can make with just those items. We stocked the bar and for months have been enjoying different drinks each week. Is hope they update it to continue with iOS updates because it has been so enjoyable. And emailing the recipes for later use has been great as well. ### 1/5 — Pass on this one *2016-09-29, version 1.02* I downloaded this app after reading a great review about it online… The first drink I searched for (ice pick) returned zero results… Horrible navigation, horrible UX (user experience)... there are plenty of free apps that put this app to shame... there were no reviews, so I took one for the team… ### 1/5 — No Sazerac recipe??? *2016-03-18, version 1.02* How are you going to make a cocktail app that doesn't include the original cocktail? ### 1/5 — Not working (still) *2011-03-06, version 1.01* An update has been desperatly needed for at least 6 months. This app still doesn't work with OS 4. Fix it. ### 5/5 — Best one *2010-12-30, version 1.01* Yes ### 2/5 — Nice app but still buggy *2010-12-18, version 1.01* The concept for this app I terrific. There are 2 major components to the app. 1.) lists 500 cocktail recipes you can make with the most common liquors. This component work great out of the box. 2.) identify which liquors you have and the app will filter the recipe database and identify the recipes you can make with the liquor you have on hand. This 2nd component does not work on my iPhone (3G running v4 software). Once I identify my liquor in "my cabinet" the app identifies the recipes I can make But, and this is the show stopper, once I exit from the app, it will not let me back in. The app shows the opening page for a few seconds and then closes. I suspect the data base becomes too large after you identify your liquor and times out before it can open. Purchasers beware, this app does not provide the full range of features it promises. If you are willing to live with a non-customized recipe list then this app is ok but probably not worth the price. More work to do before this app is ready for the public. ### 2/5 — Nice UI but limited *2010-11-25, version 0* Needs ability to select all sorts of ingredients from cabinet, not just liquor. ### 1/5 — Update for OS4? *2010-07-04, version 0* Great application until I updated to OS 4. Now all it seems good for is displaying the title screen and crashing.
