## What is UT DABS App?

### 3/5 — Always shows discontinued

*2026-02-23, version 2.0.0*

The app is close to the android version. But the apple app doesn’t seem to care about the preferred stores and always show the discontinued products. It’s also slower than the android one as well.

### 1/5 — Typical State of Utah Dev

*2025-08-25, version 2.0.0*

Scanner doesn’t work. Location services doesn’t work. No one cares what the State Store # is. Who keeps track of that? When I select my favorite bottle of wine and the list of stores is the store number, it becomes useless, or at least becomes inconvenient to have to google the store number. Take the time to really build this app. If Utah DABC can’t put in the effort y’all should just turn it off.

### 4/5 — Favorites

*2023-09-09, version 1.7.7*

I love the ability to add favorites! Favorite items, but also favorite stores. The search feature is a little cumbersome as some of the product names are truncated or abbreviated. To search a single item may take several attempts. I would love the ability to special order directly from the app from the search page.

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2022-05-14, version Version 1.7.4*

Mostly freezes when you try to do anything. I got frustrated pretty fast trying to place a special order after being instructed to do so through this mess by the store staff.

### 1/5 — No filter options makes it useless

*2022-03-30, version 1.6.31*

I actually think the website is pretty good to search for particular items, but it isn’t very compatible with mobile browsers. So when I heard that the DABC has an app, I was super excited. Downloaded the app just to find it is completely useless. There are no filtering options to narrow down a search, so you’re stuck scrolling through thousands of line items. If they fixed this, it could be a pretty decent app.

### 2/5 — Can’t Search by Category

*2021-10-05, version 1.6.31*

I wish they’d add a way to search by category, like rum, whisky, tequila for spirits, or lager, stout, ale for beers. Nothing too in-depth, just the basic categories.

The search function doesn’t work right: when you search for “Rum” it only comes up with Bacardi. Searching for “tequila“ comes up with nothing. Easy fix, I’m guessing.

### 1/5 — Simply does not work

*2021-08-26, version 1.6.31*

The login part does not work. I verified my account and password in a separate browser and it logs in fine. Using separate browser I get different search results as well. Not sure what this do for anyone. It’s essentially worthless

### 1/5 — The newest update broke the app.

*2020-12-14, version iOS App 1.6.2*

The app is mostly useless since the new update. Most of the text is gone in the UI. When you do get the the liquor list you want it’s all black out, and almost impossible to see. When you find what your looking for, and try to click where to buy it does nothing. This app is completely unusable.

### 2/5 — Dark iOS setting not compatible

*2020-12-13, version iOS App 1.6.2*

Blue font dark background means you can not read a dang thing if your phone settings are dark!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-11-27, version iOS App 1.6.2*

Ok, I tried this app to create a favorites list. Most everything I tap says I need to log in but I can’t for the life of me find any way to create an account!  I see search, locate stores, scan, settings but see no where to create an account!  If you click login, you can sign in but no way to create. This may be the single worst app I have ever seen.
