However I recall that an older version used to allow you to do a general search of the top beers in the world and even copiers by each specific category or style of beer and I can no longer find that function which is a huge disappointment. ### 2/5 — App vs mobile site? *2020-05-03* What is the point to push me installing the app since the app opens a browser and show mobile website instead of app's content? I just don't get it. Every time I open the website it shows me a banner to download and install the app but then the app opens a browser (for some of its parts) and shows mobile site (and asks me to logon again). ### 3/5 — Can’t make reviews *2020-02-28, version 2.1.2* Great app except that it has never once saved a review that I’ve written. Pretty freaking annoying. ### 4/5 — Lost features *2019-10-20* Seem to have lost ability to spot or favorite beers. Please bring those features back! ### 3/5 — Good but... *2019-10-02* So far definitely one of the better beer rating apps out there. However this app could be really really good if you would add a wish list feature. I see some pretty cool beers being reviewed and I don’t want to lose sight of them so if I could add them to a wish list I would know what beers to look for in the future. Hope that makes sense and thanks for your consideration! ### 3/5 — Eh *2019-08-18* The app crashes a lot and even after signing in with Facebook, it still asks me to sign in. Very frustrating. But when it does work, it’s pretty neat and helpful to find the right beer. ### 3/5 — Beer List Sort Order *2019-08-16* I would like to ask you to consider including a feature to sort the ratings list by highest rated, brewery, and perhaps date tasted. ### 3/5 — Location services *2019-05-23* The app is great to look up beer ratings. The constant demands to let it access my location are getting really tiresome. I don’t want it to recommend bars and I value my privacy. Let it ask once and then SHUT UP! ### 4/5 — Problem with logging in *2019-04-01, version 1.25.6* After logging via Facebook it asked me to tap my username, and every time I confirm application stop working. ### 2/5 — keep crahsing *2019-03-31, version 1.25.6* The latest update makes login function crash. You can see the login icon, but after entering all information the screen becomes white and then the app just close.... ### 1/5 — CrashBeer *2019-03-31, version 1.25.6* Won’t open after registration. Deleted and finding other ways to enjoy beer. ### 1/5 — Crapstastic app *2019-03-31, version 1.25.6* I’ve downloaded the app 3 times, will never load or open. ### 1/5 — App unusable after the latest updates *2019-03-31, version 1.25.6* App crashes on loading.... ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-03-30, version 1.25.6* Can’t use it at all. Crashes even after reboot. ### 4/5 — Informative *2019-03-29, version 1.25.5* A straight forward app that is informative and provides reviews from others when selecting beers. However it could really do with a wish list allowing you to select beers that you would like to try. ### 1/5 — Conflict of interest *2019-03-28, version 1.25.3* This app is owned by AB InBev, which means it is biased. ### 4/5 — Good app. But having trouble *2019-02-10* Love the app think it is great! But the only problem is on iPhone XR it is not easy to hit the search button, back button, my profile or anything that has to do with the top of screen. Really love the app just having interface problems. ### 4/5 — Good app, but.. *2019-01-21, version 1.22.0* Can you make an adaption for Xr? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Closed down by new owners *2025-03-05, version 2.7.1* It appears this app has been bought by AB InBev and is no longer operational. ### 1/5 — Locked out of my account after faithfully using it for years! *2023-01-30* I used this app for years and spent countless hours submitting reviews and suddenly it logged me out and I can’t get back in. I know what my log in information is. The forgot password button also does not work!! Very disappointed that I can’t see all the beers i reviewed. ### 1/5 — Why cant i login? *2022-10-20, version 2.7.1* Unknown error has occurred over and over again ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-01-30, version 2.7.1* Cannot log into the app on either iPad or iPhone. ### 1/5 — Unable to use search... *2020-09-13* Not sire how I’m supposed to use a beer rating app when every time I try to search it crashes. Get it back together ### 1/5 — Latest update crashes the search function *2020-08-21* I used to love the app, but the latest update from Aug 2020 now causes the app to crash when trying to search for a beer. This makes it essentially useless. I have tried deleting and reinstalling and restarting my phone but the result is always the same. Hopefully they fix this bug soon! ### 1/5 — Used To Be Good *2020-05-16* RateBeer used to be a great app, and their admins did an outstanding job of keeping the app updated with new beer. Now it is more trouble than it is worth most of the time new beer are not in the app and you spend half the time adding beer. Most of their top raters have stopped rating. Not worth it, go with Untapped or Beer Advocate. ### 1/5 — Bar code *2020-04-30, version 2.3.2* L’app reconnait pas les codes de barre. ### 1/5 — Don't let them have your data *2019-08-04, version 1.30.3* This used to be a good independent app for beer lovers but it is now owned by a multinational brewing company. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Just didn’t work *2019-05-24, version 1.26.8* As soon as I tried searching for a certain beer it just kept giving error messages. I gave up and deleted it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Well done. *2019-04-19, version 1.25.10* Works a treat. Thanks for making this app. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-03-25, version 1.25.3* Great app ### 5/5 — I’ve expanded my selection dramatically *2018-08-20* This app has made me try a lot of beers outside my comfort zone, and I’ve rarely found one that doesn’t match the rating on the app. Bravo. **Developer response:** Thanks very much, Archie! Glad you're enjoying our RateBeer mobile app. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Top tool to rate beer *2018-08-19, version 1.18* Brilliant platform to track, search and rate beer. ### 5/5 — Handy app to rate beer! *2018-08-17, version 1.18* Great way to keep track of the beers I’ve tried! ### 5/5 — Great to rate beer! *2018-08-08, version 1.17* The RateBeer app is improving and is awesome for finding and rating beer. Love the detailed beer ratings. ### 5/5 — Great app. Private notes? *2018-07-15* Overall I love the app. Easy to use and informative. I would like to see private notes added as a feature. I love making private ratings for my own reference, but would also love to accompany them with notes like, “my wife loves this, but I hate it,” or “great for a hot summer night on the patio” or “this would make a great gift for Kevin.” I’d like to keep private notes like this for my reference along with the private ratings. **Developer response:** Hi BeanTown! Thanks for the positive review and feedback. The current app allows private reviews -- just make them less than 75 characters and they remain for your eyes only. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2018-04-15* The app is pretty straight forward, and easy to use. All the beers you can possibly think are on the app. Thank you for this awesome app!! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review and helping make RateBeer what it is! Cheers - joe ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2017-09-11* Always preferred going to Ratebeer on web, even on my phone, than the other apps that are out there because the quality of the information and reviews are so much better. And so is the new app. Well done! ### 5/5 — New app is so much simpler *2017-08-31* Search is very fast and intuitive plus they have a ton of beers! Very easy to use. Whenever I am trying to figure out what beer I want I turn to this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
