### 5/5 — Still Perfect

*2026-03-21, version 1.33*

The app hasn’t been updated in 7 years, but it still looks as perfect as the day it was built. Now that’s design.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-03-12, version 1.33*

I use this app for my own recipes and I love it 💕🫶 it’s very beautifully designed and I love how it auto converts units too 😀 app has been recommended to me once by a coworker and it will stay with me I’m sure 🥰

### 3/5 — Can’t share recipe

*2026-01-08, version 1.33*

Absolutely love this app! So handy for training new team members!
I’d love to be able so sort the cocktails into folders - spritz, margs, classics etc

Recipe sharing is also a pain. I can’t import from photos and typing in the codes is a nightmare.

All in all though, best app on the market! I just wish I could make a few small changes

### 5/5 — Absolute Smash of an App

*2025-12-03, version 1.33*

One of my favourite apps for sure. Simple and elegant design but powerful enough to get the job done. 
I work in fine dining and there’s always lots of inspiration for cocktails to try. This app gives the perfect place to keep all my recipes in one spot and browse them quickly and elegantly. Adding new cocktail builds is really easy and enjoyable, and tweaking them is simple too. 
I only wish Neat Studio (developer) would make a duplicate app for cooking recipes. I would definitely pay for that. Great work from the team who made this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Restaurant Bartenders Rejoice

*2025-09-30, version 1.33*

Never not ever have I written a review for an app but Highball has made me break my decade long silence: This is literally MADE for restaurant bartenders. The user interface ROCKS and is such a fun study tool. You could get nit picky about it, but you make classics enough that you just know them, and you can delete and add seasonally. The fact you’re not charging for this and it’s ad free is absolutely WILD like I would pay $15 for this you’ve convinced me to devote myself to you I’ll work for ur company

### 5/5 — Still going strong, could use an update though

*2025-09-24, version 1.33*

Would love a backup export/import feature for posterity.

### 5/5 — Best Cocktail Keeper

*2025-09-11, version 1.33*

Quite easily the best cocktail keeping app. Has been around for AGES, no ads or pay and just quite aesthetically pleasing and simple to use. Would love to see them benefit from possible paid decks and partnerships (Anders Erickson, Educated Barfly, etc) perhaps, but still just perfect as it is. Thanks all for the effort in making such a simple and beautiful app free for us cocktail lovers!

### 2/5 — All show, no go

*2025-08-18, version 1.33*

It looks good, but the functionality is basically nil. You cannot even order your recipes the way you want. Total fail. Makes me doubt the quality and usability of their other products as well.

### 4/5 — Great app, could use some things

*2025-08-02, version 1.33*

Love this app. HOWEVER, it would be great if I could share recipes with other users, and if the instructions section allowed numerical steps in list form, with carriage returns.

### 4/5 — Does its thing

*2025-07-05, version 1.33*

This app does what it does pretty well. Categories might be nice but you can filter on keywords. The only bug I find is that changing the Qty doesn't stick. It reverts back to one.
