### 2/5 — Only 3 time zones

*2024-09-04, version 3.4.0*

Bummer…

### 3/5 — App crashing on iPhone 15 pro but stable on iPhone 13 Pro

*2023-11-27*

This is a great application that is working on the older iPhones, but apparently does not work on iPhone 15 Pro.

### 5/5 — New adventures

*2023-02-12*

This has been a great way to try new places!  Thank you for the grand adventures!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2023-02-04*

Well worth every owning

### 5/5 — Exploring craft beer!

*2020-08-07*

My mom got me the PubPass book 2 years ago for Christmas and I’ve been a PubPasser ever since! The app got me to explore my city and visit new breweries and brew pubs that I hadn’t heard of or visited. I travel for work and it’s awesome that I can use PubPass in some of the cities I work in. All around great deal!

### 5/5 — Cheap beer!

*2020-03-05*

I love that I can reuse the app at my favorite bars every 30 days, and the rotating list will make me go to spots I normally wouldn’t have thought of, lot of fun to “stamp” the book in the app!

### 5/5 — Great excuse to try new spots

*2020-02-22*

App worked just fine. Good deal for the price as long as you get out and use it.

### 2/5 — Not fully rolled out

*2020-01-06*

I opted for the app instead of the booklet this year because of travel and downloaded the app before a trip to Surly.  But, even though Surly is in the booklet and even as the example pic on the website for the app, Surly currently isn’t on the app.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2018-11-09, version 1.1*

Love the annual Pub Pass and the idea behind the app, but nothing in the app works. You are unable to find pub pass availability in other cities, contact support, or unsubscribe via the app.

### 1/5 — App freezes

*2025-11-01*

Is Pub Pass out of business? My app no longer works and can not find a support contact.
Very disappointing!

### 1/5 — Crashes with iPhone 17Pro

*2025-10-11, version 3.7.2*

The Pub Pass won’t open on my iPhone 17. It tries to open and then crashes.

### 1/5 — Still not working on IPhone 17 bugs are not fixed

*2025-10-02*

The review is in the title.

### 1/5 — Laggy

*2025-09-29, version 3.7.0*

I launch the app and it freezes. I can’t use it

### 1/5 — New phone

*2025-09-24, version 3.7.0*

App will not load in new iPhone 17. Locks up every time where asks to create an account or enter code

### 1/5 — Not working with iOS 26

*2025-09-19, version 3.6.4*

App launches but then freezes on the map page.  Nothing happens, unresponsive and can’t get in.

### 1/5 — Nothing in the PNW

*2025-06-09, version 3.5.9*

If you’re in Portland / Seattle, don’t bother. No participating restaurants or breweries here.

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2023-12-12*

Everytime I attempt to open the app it crashes. Deleted it and and redownloaded it a couple times and it still crashes.

### 1/5 — App is not working

*2023-11-22, version 3.2.4*

No matter what I select, it takes me to a screen where it asks my zip code and to verify I’m over 21 and accept the terms. I comply with those items and try to submit them but the button is unresponsive and does nothing. There is no where else to navigate.

### 1/5 — App crashes on launch

*2023-04-11*

I’m in the market to find a new beer coupon app and decided to give this a go. 

The app instantly crashes on launch. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app it continues to crash. How did you pass App Review with Apple?

### 5/5 — Pub Pass Lover

*2026-01-29*

This thing rocks!! BOGO is a winner, and it resets in 30 days. Can’t beat that.

### 5/5 — Relaxed social environment

*2026-01-03*

Pubpass is a great gift for socializing with others. It especially is beneficial at establishments like Ft Lauderdale’s Barkyard’n Brews, watching our four legged family members have fun and play in an exceptionally clean and safe environment! 
Their loving, caring and responsible owners are committed to their pets and are good people to get to know, it makes for a very nice community and great opportunity to make new and interesting friends! One of my favorite places to go in South Florida!

### 5/5 — iOS 26

*2025-09-28*

No longer works since updating to iOS 26. Freezes on map screen. Deleted app and downloaded again, freezes on login screen.

### 5/5 — Can’t access

*2025-06-29*

I can’t access my account on the app. I can log in to the app but it just spins when I try to view my account and when I look under subscriptions it shows I have none, yet I paid for one in February. Would love to be able to use what I paid for or receive a refund if it can’t be fixed. If it can be fixed I’d love to have a credit for the months that I haven’t been able to use.

### 5/5 — Location

*2025-04-16*

Pretty cool app. Needs locations in Illinois

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2025-03-16*

A great way to get to know different neighborhoods and cool new spots!

### 5/5 — So Great!

*2025-01-15*

This app is really fun. I’ve tried so many new spots and so many new beers locally. What I love is the app is in 20 different cities. So when I travel I’m able to find awesome breweries and bars in new cities too. For $5 a month, It’s a no brainer…..

### 5/5 — Windfall brewery was first!

*2024-01-20*

What a great app and the breweries are great! 10/10 would recommend 👍

### 5/5 — Cancel Subscription Button

*2023-03-19*

I like the app but I’m trying to cancel my subscription and there is a glitch with the cancel screen. The confirm cancelation button is below my visible screen space. (I have an iPhone 2020 SE.) Please update the app to fix this issue.

### 5/5 — Wanna get out of a rut?

*2023-02-12*

We are thrilled with pub pass.  It’s a super program that invites us to try lots of breweries around. We bought 2 passes and we are having a blast going to some different places and enjoying some great beers. Surprised to see so many of these places invite us to come back in a month. Fun to explore new places
