### 2/5 — Wonky eyesore

*2017-06-06*

The screen resolution hurts my eyes and the interface is rough. A friend recommended checking this app out but it'll likely need a lot of love to make it back onto my phone. After 2 years they finally pushed an update and I don't notice any differences.

### 2/5 — Great concept, poor execution

*2015-08-13*

Love this website and even love the setup of the app, but it is too slow. Each time you click on a HH, it takes a while and then when you go back it loads forever, even though it's the same list you were just looking at.

### 2/5 — Not usable

*2015-06-04*

I use the website all the time to find local happy hours. Unfortunately, I can't even get past the intro in the app as it constantly crashes. I don't have trouble with any other apps which leads me to believe the problem is with this one, not my phone. Disappointing

### 2/5 — Website is great, app unusable

*2015-05-14*

"Near me" feature doesn't actually use your location, instead uses the center of your city... Which is a bit of an issue. Filtering results becomes problematic, so you're left with nothing more than a long long list of every happy hour in your metropolis

### 2/5 — Frequent crashes and no user input

*2014-08-25, version 2.0*

Although this app is a nice idea I find it hard to believe that there is no readily accessible way for users to add new happy hours in their area.

### 2/5 — New update, slow loading time, dumb Facebook integration

*2014-08-11*

I'm torn on how to review this app's new update. It is an extremely useful app that does a great job. 

That being said, its default load screen is ALL of its data for your city, and to load on wifi connection takes 10-15 seconds where the app is completely frozen and you are watching a loading scroll wheel. To switch between neighborhoods takes 5 seconds of watching the loading scroll wheel and this appears on every bar as well. I don't want to imagine how long this will take on cellular data. It would feel faster and less frustrating to go to Safari and look up bars you are thinking of visiting rather than watching the loading wheel.

The general presentation of the app can feel clunky in comparison to most others. It just doesn't feel crisp. Most graphics have fuzzy edges. Presentation of information feels cluttered. I can't figure out what little flame next to name of every bar/restaurant means but it's there.

The inability to save favorite bars without Facebook login is really frustrating. I don't necessarily want Facebook knowing what bars I frequent. Why would you cripple one of your app's features for this?

I'd say download it and use it but this app has room for serious improvement

### 2/5 — How do I skip the FB login?

*2013-10-22, version 1.1*

It says I can skip it, but offers no route to do so. Clicking 'login' and then 'cancel' moves to a 'searching for events' screen, but nothing ever loads or displays. Using the website for now...

### 5/5 — I find the best happy hours

*2012-09-27*

### 1/5 — Not accessible

*2018-08-07*

Looks like I’ll have to stick with using thrifty hipster in a search engine. This app is completely inaccessible for persons using voice over. None of the buttons are labeled. It’s an easy fix, and I hope The app developer is proactive in fixing it!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore

*2017-09-22*

Doesn't show listings anymore, nothing show up. Seems broken now.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE PEOPLE, DON'T ADVERTISE W/ THEM

*2016-03-02, version 3.1*

Horrific, awful owner who does nothing for all the money you pay.  No one advertises with him anymore but he will lie and tell you they all do.  And charge for months after you cancel....

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2015-03-15, version 3.0*

The app Is always wrong with happy hours. Just went to american burger and it wasn't even close. Said happy hour started at 7 but not until 11. Not happy.

Used to love this app. Now it is not usable - it consistently crashes within 10 seconds of opening.

### 1/5 — Current version crashes at every turn

*2014-08-30, version 2.0*

Anytime you return to any menu it crashes. Always needs to be logged back into. Timers for specials don't work right. 

Essentially broken.

### 1/5 — New update is terrible

*2014-08-23, version 2.0*

I loved the old version of this app and used it all the time. I haven't been able to use the new version because it is constantly crashing.

### 1/5 — New App Crashes
