### 5/5 — Exceptional app for any bartender

*2019-03-22, version 1.0*

From its beautiful video tutorials, to its drink building methodology displayed in the recipes (i.e. building drink from least expensive to most expensive ingredient), and its seamless user interface. the Spec team has created an app so easy to use that anyone could learn how to make professional-quality cocktails. Well done, Marcus and team! Stoked for future updates!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-03-21, version 1.0*

Beautiful and yummy concoctions from basic to amazingly unique.  Gorgeous pictures, easy to follow and use and perfect for professionals or the occasional user.  Can’t wait to play with this at upcoming parties!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No.

*2019-07-13, version 1.1*

I do not “sign up” for apps, especially where that is unnecessary. Based on many other 1* reviews I am not alone in this opinion.

**Developer response:** There has always been a "continue as guest" option.  We obviously didn't do a good job of making this clear and have since made it much easier to login as guest.

### 1/5 — Account

*2019-07-12, version 1.1*

Why do I need an account to use a cocktail app?

### 1/5 — Requires sign in ... deleted

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

Not much else to say that’s my barrier to easy use.

**Developer response:** There has always been a "continue as guest" option. We obviously didn't do a good job of making this clear and have since made it much easier to login as guest.

### 1/5 — Fail. Primary goal is to collect user data

*2019-07-10, version 1.1*

It is an immediate fail when apps like this give you zero use and just require you to fork over personal data to get beyond the first screen. Deleted the app immediately.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-07-10, version 1.1*

Almost non-existent database of recipes, no app functionality - all features, including 'change password', are "under development"
Only purpose is to collect your data via registration. Joke of an app.

**Developer response:** There has always been a "continue as guest" option. We obviously didn't do a good job of making this clear and have since made it much easier to login as guest.

### 1/5 — Not really sure why you need to create an account

*2019-07-09, version 1.1*

They ask you log in as soon as you open the app. Not interesting in giving them my personal information

**Developer response:** There has always been a "continue as guest" option. We obviously didn't do a good job of making this clear and have since made it much easier to login as guest.

### 1/5 — Can’t use unless you give info

*2019-07-09, version 1.1*

Have to register with them and sign in to use the app. Instant delete.

**Developer response:** There has always been a "continue as guest" option. We obviously didn't do a good job of making this clear and have since made it much easier to login as guest.

### 2/5 — Free app requires your personal info

*2019-07-10, version 1.1*

Nope. You don’t need it. Not to give me recipes. Deleted.

### 4/5 — Slick, simple, easy

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

The best thing about this app is it’s simplicity. It’s easy to navigate, the images are eye-catching, and there isn’t clutter to get lost in.

You can also easily and quickly build your own personal “collection” of favorite recipes using the bookmark function.

The only suggestion would be to create a few more search filters, primarily spirit type/main ingredient.

Overall it’s a winner.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2019-07-10, version 1.1*

This is a good app, especially if you have a well-stocked bar. However, there aren't many recipes that I would use. Ones I want are missing, such as Gin and Tonic, Bloody Mary, Long Island Iced Tea.

### 5/5 — Simple and great

*2019-08-29, version 1.4*

Spec is a great way to get more intimate with general cocktail knowledge. It seems like it’s newer but the collection of cocktails leads me to believe the cocktails catalog will be regularly updated.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

Super useful. Delicious recipes.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

I’m always looking for classic cocktail recipes, but what I love about this app is they’ve also got some fun/ original recipes in there too! A total find, will be using this baby all the time!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

Convenient and quick way to learn how to make most popular mixed drinks. History is interesting as well.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

What a great app!

### 5/5 — All of you can’t figure out apps

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

Click guest sign in. No registration required. A+ app.

### 5/5 — Clean and accurate

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

This is very helpful, looks good and is easy to navigate. I wish everything you needed to look up how to make was this straight forward.

### 5/5 — Amazing beverage app

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

Love this app! I used to have to travel to Brooklyn to enjoy a Brooklyn. Now with Spec I can enjoy a nice cold refreshing Brooklyn without having to galavant over to hipster land

### 5/5 — Perfect for the Crazy Stupid Love Ryan Gosling wanna be

*2019-07-11, version 1.1*

I mean that in the best way. If you’re into craft cocktails and the history behind them, this app is perfect for you.

Also not sure why everyone is complaining about the data collection - you can click “continue as guest” and have the same functionality as you would if you signed in.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-04-01, version 1.1*

My bar stock is going to explode. Need to make everything. Very informative and fun to explore. Great work!
