About

Pint Pinger

Features
Read full description

Not a beer rating app. This is for mates who want to know the second someone's cracked a cold one. Crack a beer, snap a photo, your group gets pinged. They tap it, see your pint, clink back. Three photos per pint, tag the beer and the pub, a map of where it was drunk, a clink thread on every post, and a feed grouped by day. Group stats for the beer nerds. Join with a six-character code. No accounts, no followers, nothing public, no tracking beyond a single location fix at the moment you post. Get the app, start a lads group, get your mates in, and start letting them know when you crack a crispy cold one.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pint Pinger at none against OpenTable's shown. Pint Pinger also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). OpenTable's advantage is chart position (#29 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
