Shep
With wetherspoons being part of the title I expected alternatives to spoons , ie, cheap food and drink, but all this does is list pubs in your search area wether they are cheaper or the £6 a pint snobs. I suppose it’s useful as a pub finder, but no comparisons to Spoons have been studied
Now works
Changing my 1* review as now the search is working and the map scrolls. Needs more information about the venues hence 4* but hopefully that will come in time.
Does what it says - now fixed
Works great since the rebuild. Use it to find alternative establishments 😊
Fatal flaw: Nice idea but map will not allow sliding
When you plan a pub night or crawl you want to plan for where you WILL be, not where you ARE, so you need to be able to slide the map instead of it fixating on where you are currently. Fatal flaw. App to be deleted.
Not accurate
Scanning the list of pubs on here, this is not accurate. I clicked one pub I hadn’t heard of, and their profile was a Wetherspoons site. Come on.
Keeps crashing
This would be a great app, but it crashes every time you click the ‘More information’ on a pub and it’s impossible to navigate around the map. Urgently needs updating
Not it
Love the idea, but the app is incredibly slow to find location and crashes every time I try to view details of a pub.
Plus definition of independent is skewed as it’s listing places like Stonegate which are almost as huge as Wetherspoon anyway.

Great idea, but…
Love the idea of this app and it’s a great way to find pubs when out and about. But the ‘more information’ button on each pub crashes the app, so it’s impossible to know anything about a venue, other than it’s name. It hasn’t been updated for a year so is it still in operation? I hope so.
iOS 16 issues?
Seems to crash in ios16? Otherwise great app.
Would be ok if it worked!
Just as useless as before - map or search function doesn’t work. So you can’t look at anywhere apart from the immediate area which is pretty pointless. Also relies on users updating the database so no investment being made - it can never be accurate as pubs are opening and closing daily. Completely undeveloped and should be taken down.

Disappointing
I really liked this app and used it a lot back in the day. Unfortunately since I’ve been so busy with work I didn’t use it much so I’m extremely disappointed to log in and find that it doesn’t work anymore…
Failed to function
Map doesn't scroll. The Only pubs shown as independent are owned by Marstons
Doesn’t highlight only independents
I imagine the developer has a political point to make, rather than just supporting local brewers and pubs (think how many small breweries sell their beer at spoons…)
But when pubs under big groups like M&B or Greene King are marked as “independent”, it just rankles.
If you are going to be petty, you might as well be accurate.

Was great now rubbish
Just keeps crashing - doesn’t work, fairly useless
Doesn’t work on iPhone 12
Can you fix please !!!!!
Needs porting to newer OS versions
I love the idea. Anywhere but Wetherspoons and let’s support local pubs and brewers. Sadly this just doesn’t work since IOS was updated. It smacks of a developer who had a great idea and who moved onto something else. Come on, update the app.
Map isn’t working
Can’t move about on the map? What’s that about ahah
Dead in iOS15
The app used to be great! Sadly, since iOS 15 was introduced, the app does not work at all, map is frozen, and unable to zoom in or out or navigate anywhere other than the current area. No way of contacting developer so app will remain broken until the developer presumably next needs a beer?
Way out
Within 5 mins of opening I found the markers showing alot of the pubs are way out and you be going the wrong way. Also pubs on there that are shut. So this has been taken from a list of pubs that is out of date. Watch this space.
Found since pubs that are missing total waste of time. Better off saying to google “pubs, near?” Reduced to one star.

Might as well use Google maps
I thought this app might be something useful that would allow me to order and pay for drinks/food from a table in independent pubs. Unfortunately, unlike the Wetherspoons app, it doesn’t do this, so not very useful to me.
