Don't miss a chance to meet your friends. See where they are and join them. Friends, colleagues, or classmates may already be out nearby — maybe closer than you think. If they share a status in Beertime, you can see what they are drinking and where, and say hello instead of walking past them. Beertime is a social app for nights out with people you know. Sign in with your email, add friends, and set your status: beer, wine, drink, tea, non-alcohol, on the way, or wrapping up. Attach a real pub, café, or other place so friends can find you. On Home you see your friends’ current drinks and places. Follow people you care about to get a notification when they go out, or get a gathering alert when several friends check in at the same spot. Invite them to join you, and sort the details in 1:1 chat. Beertime is for adults 18+. Friends share their own status and place — this is not live GPS tracking.
