### 1/5 — Ingredients

*2026-08-02, version 1.7.1*

It doesn’t list all of the ingredients

### 5/5 — New Bartender

*2025-12-05, version 1.4.8*

The app is useful and there are easy to use recipes. It’s very resourceful information about the drinks as well.  However, I wish you could locate the drinks faster. Meaning when I type in what drink I would like to make I don’t have to go to its category. This takes to much time. For instance, when I type in Manhattan in the search bar I don’t want have to go to its category to find the drink. The app is wonderful and I brought the premium because it’s useful.  Thanks for sharing this information:)

### 5/5 — Pocket

*2025-11-23, version 1.4.7*

Love it!

### 5/5 — Simple

*2025-11-06, version 1.4.6*

Easy to set up and use. Really liking it, the other review had me skeptical abt its functions but so far so good

### 1/5 — Can’t find any drink I ask for

*2025-06-28, version 1.4.4*

This app is not good at all

### 5/5 — WOW

*2025-05-15, version 1.4.4*

This is the best mixology app I’ve seen. I do not drink alcohol but make sure I can properly train bartenders to make drinks the proper way and not have a bartender that can’t make even simple mistakes.

### 5/5 — Pocket bartender

*2025-03-18, version 1.3.11*

You can make drinks just like the bar. It will save you hundreds! Great app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-02-14, version 1.3.8*

Have liked the ideas.  Also had an issue in the app & support was quick to respond!

### 5/5 — Kenny

*2025-02-13, version 1.3.7*

This app is really easy to navigate and has the most recipes for mixing drinks. It is easy to save your favorite cocktails and if you’re not sure what to make its recommendations are always fun to try. And the food pairing is also a great extra. The customer service is the best of any company I’ve experienced. They immediately responded and helped fixed my problems. Hands down the best money I spent on my home bar.

### 2/5 — Kenny

*2025-02-08*

I purchased the lifetime plan and every time I open the app all my favorites are gone. And now the restore purchase option is no longer available.
