### 4/5 — outdated

*2026-03-06, version 4.12*

really cool but i can't upgrade

### 4/5 — Please let me upgrade

*2023-07-02, version 4.12*

I’m on iPhone mini 12 why can’t I upgrade and play the game?!?

### 4/5 — Educational

*2022-10-26, version 4.12*

I really love this game, combines fun with lots of learning !
I would find it useful if there were “rounds” between learning new recipes of serving different drinks to learn them faster rather having to practice each one individually. Basically a game mode like the survival mode but with the recipe book.

### 3/5 — Great training but needs updated

*2018-01-05, version 001*

Kind of strange at first with the story mode, but it's a great way to learn drink recipes! Definitely recommend for new bartenders, but unfortunately the app hasn't had an update in a long time. Developers need to make an update compatible with the new iPhone updates!

### 4/5 — It’s A GREAT app, however...

*2017-10-25, version 001*

The need to update it so it’s compatible with the latest version of iOS!!

### 3/5 — Update request

*2017-09-29, version 001*

Spent money to purchase and now can’t use. Plz update.

### 3/5 — Good but...

*2017-04-11, version 001*

Drinks need to be checked for accuracy. The old fashioned in the game doesn't mention Angostura Bitters or orange which are key elements. 

Also if this is supposed to be bar training then some more subtle differences need to be noted including types of muddling and how to properly shake the drink. Shaking is a pain because it doesn't seem to recognize when I do shake the phone. 

Lastly - sometimes if you adjust the pour to get "perfect" it will still be recorded as a fail and change your scores. 

Great potential but needs a lot of work!

### 4/5 — Please update

*2016-12-11, version 001*

Please update, this is such a great game.

### 4/5 — recommended if at all interested in mixed drinks

*2016-01-12, version 001*

Thoroughly entertaining, and educational game. However, each act feels a bit short. I want to make more drinks before leveling up!!

Bug:
Towards the end you are asked to make a scotch fizz but the recipe says rum and you fail unless you use rum. 

Suggestion:
The recipe book would be great if you could more easily browse the recipes. (Currently two taps to get to any recipe; one tap would be nice if you don't want to practice making it, just view it; maybe two icons? Practice mode and recipe.)

### 4/5 — Good but stopped working

*2014-07-21, version 001*

It was fun until I got to the piña colada. It won't take my recipe even though it is exactly what it says to have.

### 3/5 — Almost perfect!

*2013-09-02, version 001*

Fun, addictive and educational. Only problem is the Rum Fizz & Scotch Fizz have exactly the same recipe. Please fix!

Edit: where have the sound effects gone?!

### 4/5 — Good game, but glitchy

*2012-12-11, version 001*

This is a great game to practice how to recall recipes and make drinks BUT it needs to be longer and have more recipes added. Also the recipes have to be corrected. There are a few glitches such as the "Bee's Knee's" drink calling for lime juice when it should be lemon juice and the "scotch fizz" calling for rum when it should be scotch. etc

### 4/5 — Great game

*2012-07-18, version 001*

I would love for them to add more drinks

### 4/5 — Good little game

*2011-12-05, version 001*

Good little game, fun and addictive, with a nice UI. Well worth a pop

### 1/5 — Horrible  don’t recommend getting it

*2019-04-19, version 4.12*

I’m sorry but when I make a drink USING the recipe book the I never move on to the next person it just tells me to look at the recipe literally it was a screwdriver and I used Vodka,orange juice, and ice and it said to look at the recipe 🙄

### 1/5 — Review

*2019-03-12, version 4.12*

Boringggggg. 😴zzzzzz

### 1/5 — Do not buy this app!! It is No longer supported!!!

*2017-12-26, version 001*

Paid for this app but only got to use it a few times before the last ios update — the app now needs to be updated to be compatible with newer versions of ios... I can no longer use this app!!! Please get with it, developers!

### 1/5 — Op 11.0 - no update

*2017-11-20, version 001*

Never got to play. Developer needs to update for new op sys.

### 1/5 — Please see!

*2016-10-27, version 001*

Awesome game it's a lot of fun. The scotch fizz in survival mode considers scotch to be the wrong base (rum works though). I've lost a few solid streaks because of this - 5 stars otherwise

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2013-04-14, version 001*

Needs an update

### 2/5 — Really

*2019-12-24, version 4.12*

I was getting into the game it’s fun and then it tells me to pay or I can’t play.

### 2/5 — Says I'm wrong

*2017-07-06, version 001*

I make the perfect pour as said by the game, and it tells me I'm wrong

### 2/5 — Good but

*2013-04-22, version 001*

Needs a retina update, stat!

### 2/5 — Great Promise but runs like a pig on 3G

*2010-07-18, version 0*

I enjoy the game when it works but more often then not it runs like an absolute pig on a 3G.  This may not be an issue for 3GS or 4 users and this may in fact be the fault of the iOS who knows but I can not recomend this for users of the iPhone 3G.  The problem becomes most pronounced when double pouring.  The animations lag, hang, and at times crash.  I've "restarted" as the suggestion is made, I've uninstalled, reinstalled, redownloaded.  All to no avail.  Any how, if you have a 3GS or 4 do not pass on this game, if you have a 3G (or worse a first gen iPhone) seriously consider the performance first.

### 5/5 — I replay it over and over again.

*2018-12-28, version 4.12*

Make another one, please.

And please update this version to 64-bit if you can! It seems like this may stop working in the next iOS! 

I would pay for that!

Update: I am so glad this has been updated so I can use it once again on my iPhone. I’m now running iOS 12.

### 5/5 — Great Little Game

*2018-07-16, version 4.11*

Awesome customer support. Fun little game that makes learning all of the drinks very fun. Even let’s you get creative sometimes. Really love the setup.

### 5/5 — Please Upgrade your Apps 🙏🙏🙏

*2017-10-17, version 001*

Please Upgrade your Apps 🙏🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Hella cooool

*2014-06-05, version 001*

Like some other reviews the game is a little short but very fun exspecialy learning how to mix drinks you might not physically mixing but learning a good pour count is the first step to a great drink so mix things up and get this game

### 5/5 — Best bartending app ever.

*2013-12-30, version 001*

Best bartending app I have seen. Great story's. Great characters. I think you should make a sequel to this one.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2013-01-05, version 001*

This game is addicting and awesome. I beat the main story like 5 times and still play survival when I'm bored. I knew nothing about mixology and now I feel like I at least know the basics!

### 5/5 — Refreshing!

*2011-12-16, version 001*

This game simply rocks.  Great interface, simple yet addictive gameplay, humorous storyline, and anime style art.  Oh, and it is educational!  Five stars!

### 5/5 — Please allow users to add drinks for practice

*2011-11-04, version 001*

A great bartending app, really helps get the recipes down. I would love it if I could create my own drinks and then add them to the survival mode. Thanks, keep fighting he good fight!

### 5/5 — From a barman

*2011-04-06, version 001*

So I'm working in a bar, know the drinks pretty well. This game combines crazy story telling with drinking education with actually having fun, perfect package. if you want to learn how to make drinks, whilst having fun definitely check this out.

### 5/5 — Hands Down the BEST bar simulator available!!!

*2011-01-10, version 001*

I have received a bartender's license before purchasing the game and I have to say it is the next best thing to mixing actual drinks. It also gave me a greater understanding of certain drinks and helped me memorize many recipes that I had trouble with. Definately a must have app for every bartender out there!
