Limited food categories

The concept is nice, and it’s a really pleasant user interface and experience, but my biggest gripe is with the limited food categories available. I’m obviously not expecting some gourmet options there to add to the calculations, but the food options in the app aren’t quite right for me because I rarely consume them. Adding more categories like a steak or a salad or whatever else—and keeping them general, or providing general categories with more food options in them—would definitely improve my own, and presumably others‘, experience using the app.

Broken App

I just downloaded this Virtual App from Apple onto iPhone 12, v16.2, and this app doesn't work at all. This App needs the developer's help right away.
I visited the developer's site and was able to use its program there, on the same iPhone, and wish I could add food, not just at the beginning, but between drinks. Also, I would like to see 45 minutes for drinking. Typically, after the first drink in 15 or 30 minutes I will "nurse" the remaining drinks the rest of the evening.

Cool Concept, Very Limited Options

Not worth the download. In a nutshell, I would compare this app to the app where it filled your screen with beer and when you tilted your phone, it looked like you were drinking a beer. This is very much in the conceptual phase with options being very limited. Once you’ve selected a standard drink option, your time consumption options are 1, 15, or 30 minutes. Not sure if this is based off average times or if your body processes alcohol the same after 1 minute up to 15 minutes. Which I don’t understand the limited options because what if I sip one time when I first get the drink and then chug it at the 14 minute mark? Anyway, more to be done there. And the food options, four options with a fifth being no food. A lot of work to be done there. Not sure if these are nutritionally comparable to most foods consumed while drinking, but I’m also not a nutritional expert, so I don’t know. In theory, cool idea. Please take it down and do more work and bring it back when you’ve provided more applicable options.

Not working

App just says loading and never loads

Food options

People eat things other than burritos, hamburgers and pizza. Should have option on when you’re eating as well. Really not a good gauge.

Great idea, just lacking.

It would be game changer to be able to put in alcohol content. There’s a HUGE difference in beer %. I can drink a good beer at 4.8% or 9% alcohol. That makes a huge difference in how quickly I feel effects. Also the food choices are a joke and I really don’t even know what choosing a food does to my results, there needs to be some type of ability to compare.

Great app

I don’t know what the heck is wrong with the rest- this app is great

Needs a lot of work

Timing: I wish I could input a time. The only choice is 1 minute, 15 and 30. Dumb.
Also, I like how it gives you an estimate time to back to 0BAC. It would help if it counted down for you.

Poor design

Unable to add drinks....which is kind of the whole point of this app.

Localisation! Desperately needed!

I live in Australia, and there's no sign that this app is only for an American market.

The minimum drinking age in Aus is 18. I'm 20, so I had to lie to use this app. Additionally, measurements are in feet and pounds.

Countries other than America drink alcohol too!

Thought it would be better

Wasn't very impressed with this app. Good start but needs a lot of work. Drink options are very limited and no ability to enter a double or an alcohol %. Food options also very limited. This could be a great app with the addition of the ability to enter items not listed. Will be removing app now.

Unsure of accuracy and unable to edit

Not really sure how useful this app is. When playing around with it there was no way to enter the number of drinks or the time taken to drink said drinks
