Ads upon ads
Virtually impossible to use because of the intrusive ads as once a beer is selected, the nuisance screens appear.
Great idea marred by the ads
1. I HATE Temu with a passion and their ads don’t even have an easy close button on them. Give us a pay option where we can get rid of the constant ads please.
2. A bit more description would be better. Lazy brewers make hazy beers and I’m not a fan of the taste. I’d like to be able to screen out hazy beers but the descriptions don’t make it clear which are hazy and which aren’t.
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback, we'll try to implement this better in the new version out soon. Unfortunately it costs to develop the app and run the service. We'll also take a look at the existing advertisers on the network to see if we can block the ones that are causing issues. We'll look into that filtering! The new app will have much better options. Also, you can get rid of ads for a year for the price of a pint!
Hacked
Response from developer
I can confirm that our app is not hacked. The advertising isn't as good as it should be and we'll be updating the new version so this will be better and more appropriate.
No privacy
Response from developer
Unfortunately a lot of the consent requests have been forced upon us. We have to use advertising in order to run the service. But we hear you and have provided the 'do not accept' option, even though it will make an impact on income. We'll be releasing a new app version soon also.
Too many ads some of which are inappropriate such as fake admin tools to alter your device.
Response from developer
We will be reviewing how the advertising works in a new version of the app. In the meantime you can subscribe for a year (no ads) - the price of a pint!
Spam
Too much privacy invasion
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. There is an option for 'do not consent' now. It will reduce the app income, but you could always support us by going ad free for a year (just the price of a pint!)
Useful when it works
Really helpful
Life saver
App is easy to use and free as a consumer which is awesome. Adverts are a pain but worth it to keep it free
Good bit so buggy
Good but could be better.
Suggestions:
Rating for beers as lots of beers are the same or look very different would be good to know if I’ve tried before and if I like it.
Sharing needs to be better. If I click share it just shares the app. Not the beer I’m sharing with a friend.
Notifications are on but don’t seem to be working.
Shortcuts to my fav things
Thanks.
Response from developer
We'll look into the issues. In the meantime new version has a logbook - has been in the Android version for a while. Thanks for the feedback!
Great idea and works well when bars you frequent keep it up to date
Useful to identify gluten-free ales
On the same point, the current listing for Gun Brewery’s Zamzama suggests it is gluten-free; it isn’t. I contacted the brewery to check. They do make a number of g-f beers, but (unfortunately) Zamzama isn’t one of them.
PS The app has required a bit more effort to use since the inclusion of Wetherspoon’s pubs: their omnipresence tends to crowd out the smaller, independent places (hence only a four-star review). Neverspoons ;-)
iOS Bug
Response from developer
Sorry, I didn't see this review. This facility was fixed quite some time ago.
Adverts
Response from developer
Hello, there's now an option to remove the ads via a yearly subscription - for the price of a pint! We have adverts etc. so we can cover the cost of Apple's developer subscription fee each year.
Useful tool. Persuade your local to use it!
It shows pubs, the beer & cider they’re offering and where they are.
I love it.
Excellent
One improvement would be to allow more than one device to support the log in on the pub owners version, at the moment only one of the team can own/update, as when someone else logs in, the other is kicked out. Thanks for this.
