### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-07-19*

Good luck finding a recipe and then finding one without being E-begged to purchase a subscription lol this app begs for money more than the homeless down the street 🤣🤣

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2024-07-02, version 1.17*

There is no option to cancelling your subscription!  This is a scam!!!

### 1/5 — Fail

*2024-06-12, version 1.16*

This app is a joke.

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2024-05-03, version 1.16*

I don’t see why every app nowadays are subscription based.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-04-17, version 1.15*

Wish I would have read reviews before my wasted free trial.

### 1/5 — Waste!!!

*2024-03-21*

Horrible!  Just got ripped off!! Just paid for the entire year (like an idiot), and after spending an hour putting everything from my house into the app, it just told me to make a drink with everything (with like 50 ounces of alcohol)… I thought it was gonna give me cocktail recipes.  Not just tell me to pour everything into one drink.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Give Accurate Drinks

*2024-03-10*

Didn’t really give me an option to bypass paying for a subscription, which would have been fine if the app was set up to actually make drinks with what you have. Once you input your ingredients, it literally gives you a recipe with ALL of those combined 🤢. No options for a variety of cocktails using ingredients that you have. I would’ve LOVED to have a list of cocktails to make instead of one cocktail with ALL of my panty.

### 1/5 — Very limited for a $30 app wish I could get a refund

### 1/5 — Joke of an App

*2024-01-30*

Took all of my ingredients and put them together in a cocktail that would have tasted like a trash can.

Update: I got a developer message after leaving this review that was 100% copy and pasted. 

Do not download this app. They are predatory and give you a 3 day free trial hoping you will forget or don’t know how to cancel. I will be reporting to apple.

### 1/5 — Joke of an App

*2024-01-27*

Took all of my ingredients and put them together in a cocktail that would have tasted like a trash can

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as expected

*2024-01-13*

I added ingredients from our liquor cabinet; but then it just made one drink from all ingredients, instead of telling me what different drinks I could make using some of the ingredients. 

Also, the “shake” option at the bottom wouldn’t go away so I could click the “more” button and see more popular recipes.

### 1/5 — Not what it advertises

*2024-01-13*

I want an app that I can put my ingredients in and it gives recipes for that. That is what it said it does and it does not. I put in what I have in my cabinet and it just says put 1 oz of each and mix.

### 1/5 — Not enough search variety

*2024-01-06*

When looking for drinks with base liquors the drinks always pop up. When giveing ingredients you have they only return results with everything not random drink

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for submitting your comments. All your feedback is checked. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Wrongful charge

*2023-12-21, version 1.6.1*

I opted for a FREE 3 day day trial and it charged $17.07 to my card. Now I am looking for the option of canceling the subscription and it’s not there. I need this to be rectified or I will be filing a complaint.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2023-12-10*

Das erste was man sieht, sind sechs Zutaten, die angeblich wichtig sind für Cocktails. Darunter ist Erdbeersaft und Sojasauce (?????) Wenn man Zutaten auswählt, soll man angeblich Cocktails angeboten bekommen, die man mit den Zutaten machen kann. Das klappt aber nicht. Vielleicht muss man dazu ja ein Abo abschließen - das ist das erste, was nach dem Start angeboten wird… nein danke, wieder gelöscht.

### 1/5 — Google is Better

*2023-12-05*

Don’t waste your money. Google is a better search engine for cocktails. Frustrated that I missed the window to cancel before they charged me for a full year. It’s an app and subscription I won’t even use. Not worth the frustration or subpar recipes.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless app.

*2026-06-27, version 1.27.3*

This app doesn’t help you with anything.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-10-15, version 1.27.3*

Doesn’t really do anything. You’re much better off using ChatGPT or really just Google.

### 1/5 — Used to be

*2025-04-01*

This app used to be amazing. It has become difficult to navigate and you can’t search recipes without first populating the liquor you have available. Sometimes you just want to browse, but there’s no library for you. Skip this app and the payment. They already have my money but maybe I can save you yours

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-03-04, version 1.27.2*

So I canceled my subscription because it won’t let me do anything with this app and I still go charged

### 1/5 — How do I cancel?

*2025-02-26*

Did not like the fact you couldn’t check it out without being charged. Couldn’t even get 3 day free. I’ve been trying to cancel since I opened the app.

### 1/5 — Don't Bother

*2025-02-24, version 1.27.1*

1.) Requires subscription (offers Free Trial but requires to select a subscription option in order to start using)

They offer subscription prices of $4.99 per WEEK. That's insane. There is no monthly rate. There is a yearly subsection rate for $29.99/year. That's more in line with what I'd be willing to pay, but there are better paid options for less than a one-time $5.00 purchase.

2.) This app offers nothing unique. If you are interested in mixology there are better free resources on the internet. If you were hoping to improvise a drink last minute with what you have on hand this app will not help you.

Don't waste your hard drive space! Definitely don't waste your money!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-01-05*

There was clearly not any time put into this app. It’s just another skin on chatgpt trying to take your money but this time it’s cocktails. Horrible UI and they prompt for a purchase much too often. Use something else.

**Developer response:** Hello, we would like you to let us know what you do not like about our app at https://support.madduck.app/. Your feedback will be taken into consideration to provide you with a better experience.

### 1/5 — Misleading!

*2024-12-05, version 1.24*

This app doesn’t look or perform like the description. A waste of money and time!

### 1/5 — Not worth it unless you pay

*2024-11-20*

It would be an awesome free app, but since you need a subscription it’s not worth it when I can just use google.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to see your comment  If you need help, please contact us at https://support.madduck.app/

### 1/5 — Extremely difficult. Not intuitive at all.

*2024-07-27*

Save your money. I tried this app and deleted it after fifteen minutes. It starts off assuming you have every ingredient, every brand, in the world and as far as I could tell you need to go through and deselect what you don’t have. To their credit, the list is huge but daunting. It would be much better if you could start with nothing then add what you have.

**Developer response:** Hello, your feedback is important to us and will be taken into consideration. Thank you for considering us. We aim to make it better with the updates to be made.

### 5/5 — User friendly app

*2024-11-01*

I like this app because is very user friendly

**Developer response:** Hello, we are glad to be satisfied with our application, thanks

### 5/5 — Create with AI

*2024-07-03*

The future is tasty! 🥂🍹🍸

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you very much for your satisfaction and review.

### 5/5 — Great for mixing drinks at home

*2023-12-19*

I can come up with new drink recipes with the ingredients I have and it’s great! Just used this to mix cocktails at home and my friends loved it!! I think it would be great for happy hours as well.

**Developer response:** Hello! We are very pleased that you are satisfied with our app. Thank you for appreciation :)

### 3/5 — Ok

*2024-06-24*

If you have unlimited time to figure out this non user friendly app great. It might be good then. But I don’t. That with the price makes another reason it’s not worth it for me. Especially when there’s so many free ones out now.
