### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-02-04, version 14.5.6*

*2025-12-11, version 14.5.6*

I LOVE 💞 this App. Shows me when and where are all the Local Happy Hours for drinks and meal deals. Awesome! 🍺😎👍

### 2/5 — Limited

*2025-10-19, version 14.5.6*

Doesn’t include a majority of venues… specifically in Western Australia and NT, also north QLD… which is annoying because there’s sooo many specials in all of these places
The app could do really well to have these spots on here

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-08-15, version 14.5.5*

This app has been of benefit when around a certain area and looking for a happy hour place close by. Found places didn’t know had happy hour as well and were great like Jolene's and Shady Pines Saloon.

### 5/5 — In times like these

*2025-07-26, version 14.5.5*

A brilliant app, and essential in times like these where we all need to find a cheap drink and meal. I use it every week to save myself some cash.

*2025-06-10*

The sign up option has bugs- doesn’t let me choose my own password or edit it

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-06-07*

App is buggy and unusable, login screen crashes so many times it isn’t worth bothering

### 5/5 — There’s an app for that!

*2025-05-12, version 14.5.4*

These guys rock! Such a helpful app to check before you head out saving you hundreds on overpriced alcohol! Why not get two for one. Also great for trivia nights or events nearby! Love Thai handy app.

### 1/5 — Abandoned?

*2025-04-18, version 14.5.2*

I’ve submitted several updates with photos for venues that have changed their happy hour deals and months has gone by without the updates showing on the app. It still lists the old deals

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-04-06, version 14.5.2*

This app has been of benefit when around a certain area and looking for a happy hour place close by. Found places didn’t know had happy hour as well and were great like Jolene's and Shady Pines Saloon.
