Doesn’t show items you’ve scanned properly. Tries to constantly re add things you’ve already added. My bar doesn’t filter properly shows 0 items when there’s 20/30/50 in the category selected. No easy way to contact support. ### 4/5 — I was hoping for a VERY simple function: What to buy! *2026-05-24* I was hoping for a VERY simple function or page that would tell me what booze I should buy (not brand, just type) to add to my bar to unlock either a. The largest number of cocktails b. The largest number of cocktails I would like based on other cocktails and flavors I liked. c. Also if I hated something, say Campari (which is truly foul), it could steer me away from anything that tastes like it. ### 2/5 — Not even paid version works. *2026-03-28, version 3.27* Downloaded and signed up for free trial. Selected about 90% of the ingredients and there are NO OPTIONS for possible drinks. The comments say it’s a scam. Bye. ### 3/5 — Nice app but constantly bugs me to upgrade *2026-02-24, version 3.27* I get that you need to make revenue. I don’t use the app enough to be worth $50 a year… if it were $25 I’d be more likely to subscribe. Maybe charge a small fee upfront? I’m just tired of being prompted to upgrade every single time I login. ### 3/5 — Could not transfer my bar when new upgrade happened *2025-04-23* I used to love this app and had my entire bar loaded. It has great choices and suggestions. When the new upgrade happened it lost my entire list and would not transfer to the new account. I’m not opposed to subscriptions, apps have to pay for themselves, but not transferring everything over was a deal breaker for me. ### 2/5 — Doesnt save *2025-04-03* My old account was wiped with the update. I took a ton of time making a new account and creating a bar in the new one. My password manager even saved my user name and password. I’m trying to log i , and it says no account with my only email address. I’m not taking the time to do this again. Maybe if you have a paid account it works… ### 3/5 — Lost some important features *2025-03-09* The app lost an important feature: the ability to see which cocktails you can make (based on your inventory) with ingredients you seek in the cocktail. Example, after setting up your inventory in the app, I want to see the cocktails I can make with Cognac. With the new version, searching for Cognac shows all recipes, not the ones you have the ingredients for. It effectively renders the app useless, as I don’t want to see ALL cognac recipes, only the ones I can make. ### 2/5 — Was better before *2025-01-01* I loved the old version of this app because I could put every single thing that I had in my bar in there by brand and everything And now it’s just this real basic thing I can’t even put Midori or blue curaçao in there. I’m very disappointed to see this Shopping around for another app that I can put all of the things that I have in there ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2024-12-27* I used the old app and this one is a huge downgrade. The app has lots of functionality issues, it’s more difficult to search ingredients, and the cocktail options are far more limited. At this point it’s more effective to throw ingredients into chat. **Developer response:** Although this review is about 8 months old (apologies for not responding sooner), I thought I would say that the app now, compared to then, is miles ahead with a huge amount of features compared to what you had in v2.70. Hope it helps! ### 4/5 — New app is great - needs few improvements *2024-12-10* New app is great and looks good. Make it that when you press the “Make me a cocktail” button, you have the options to see all the cocktails on the same page instead of only showing 25 of them, please! **Developer response:** Great idea, will take a look into it. We have to be a little careful with speed and ensuring it doesn't lag, but we'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback ### 4/5 — Favourites? *2024-12-06* Would you consider adding a favourites section? Where you can put all your favourite cocktails from your huge database. ### 2/5 — Not all drinks are on here *2024-07-16, version 1.1.8* It would nice if all the drinks are here i tried to type in Casa Blanca a rum drink and it didn’t know what I was talking about ### 2/5 — A lot of potential *2024-06-02* Edit—I like this app less and less the longer I use it. A simple search for common drinks like “paper plane” or “Jungle Bird” produces no results. Add that to the fact that the unit of measurement STILL changes every time you make a drink and this is becoming pretty useless and frustrating. I like this app; it could be so much better. It probably will be with time. I love that you can change the measure for whatever you use (ml, oz, whatever). But you have to change it EVERY time. There is no preference you can set to make the measure you use the default. The search function is oddly difficult to use; I find the best way to browse is going into my account and looking at what I’ve favorited via the website. ### 2/5 — Great Recipes, Bad Memory *2024-05-16, version 1.1.8* I’ve been using this app for a while. I have a ton of ingredients, but I have to keep adding them every couple of months. I can’t make or save lists. I’m not sure if I’m doing it wrong or if the app doesn’t work properly. Help me change my review! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay To Use *2026-04-10, version 3.27* Used to LOVE this app as a bartender learning new cocktails and what I can make with what I have until they began charging subscriptions to use the app. You won’t get any recipes for drinks made with “your bar” without paying. Absolutely tanked their original model and customer appeal for a few extra bucks in their pocket ### 1/5 — App offers nothing *2026-03-28, version 3.27* If you do not purchase the premium subscription it will not even offer recipes using the ingredients you have entered that are currently in your bar. I know they don’t want to give things away, but just price it up front rather than giving an empty app without the $50 per year subscription. ### 1/5 — Broken? *2026-03-11, version 3.27* I highlighted everything in the “My Bar” feature it still came up with no drinks to make. Delete. ### 1/5 — Useless without $$$ *2026-01-25, version 3.25* Downloaded for ideas on new drinks. Entered 15+ spirits, several liqueurs, many mixers, and said make me a drink and it came up with exactly 2 drinks. Apparently it will only give you ideas if you pay $50+. Deleting now. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2025-07-26* I tried to open the my bar area but it doesn't load at all! It shows the click to begin text, I click, screen turns white for a while, then reverts back to the text and I can't select anything at all, it's just a blank white screen! If I can't let the app know what ingredients I have, there's no way for it to recommend me drinks, so this app is completely useless... :( **Developer response:** Hmmm, version 3 onwards shouldn't have any of these bugs, but do let us know on our contact form if so. Sorry about this! ### 1/5 — It’s a small database; login is NOT a requirement *2025-03-18, version 2.90* Really scummy move here, requiring logins. This tells me the next move here is monetization, likely via monthly subscription, and that’s where and when reasonable people will promptly leave this app. CALLED IT. YOU WANT 60 QUID A YEAR??! You’re huffing your own farts, mate. ### 1/5 — Missing so many things *2024-06-19, version 1.1.8* Basically useless ### 1/5 — Lacking a lot of recipes that are classics. *2024-05-26, version 1.1.8* It needs to be updated and it would be better. ### 1/5 — Literally Cannot Login *2024-04-26, version 1.1.8* Have an account on the PC but I cannot login on the app. Basic functionality doesn’t work. Super cool. ### 1/5 — Ads and wrong drinks ruin the app *2024-01-27* Between the CONSTANT ads and the drinks it suggests with ingredients I don’t have anything close to, the app is essentially a write off. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-15, version 3.27* Very user friendly ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-01-27* Very detailed and extremely useful if you running a home bar! The lists and trivia is also a greatly welcomed addition. ### 5/5 — Crazy *2025-10-25* Absolutely brilliant app, amazing what you can make with all the odds in your cupboard 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2025-02-26* I absolutely love this app, has almost everything you can think of as an option. I think hard lemonade would be good to add in the beer section! Otherwise though, the app is great, functions perfectly. isn’t overrun with ads or anything either. Love this! ### 5/5 — From amateur to professional *2025-01-06, version 2.70* I am really enjoying this app. It’s turning an amateur bartender into a professional wannabe. ### 5/5 — App review- this is great! *2024-11-20* Just what I needed in the run to to Christmas, so many great ideas and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Good Premise *2023-12-27* But! It’s too picking on ingredients. If you have added Gin to your bar but not London Gin or Dry Gin etc you’ll only be shown the Gin recipes and not the London or Dry. There’s no need to be so specific. ### 5/5 — This app has everything i was looking for! *2023-12-27* Firstly - I don’t often write reviews, and this one is unsolicited! After googling for weeks, words like “cocktails using X and Y” and getting unhelpful results, most containing ingredients I didn’t have, I decided to try find an app. I initially chose this because of the rating and I’m so glad I did. The way you can add your ingredients, and then be shown ideas using ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE is everything I was looking for, but it doesn’t end there. The suggestions for swapping ingredients is so great. I could go on and on but honestly - this app is just the greatest - I’m obsessed. Oh - and don’t be cheap - pay $1.99 to remove the ads and you won’t look back :) (PS - when building your bar, don’t forget to add things like salt, vanilla essence etc etc!) ### 5/5 — Branch out your drink options *2023-06-17* So simple and practical, great to make full use of that home bar you never touch- only giving 4 stars because the personal bar section has some limitations (certain items can’t be added) - otherwise very convenient & accessible to beginners to mixing drinks ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-01-08, version 1.1.8* Helping me find new cocktails including creative ways to use us my vermouth :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
