Remember every beer worth remembering. PintWise is a personal catalog for the craft beers you've tasted — snap a photo, rate it, and never again stand in the beer aisle wondering if you liked the one with the cool label. This app grew out of sharing some great (and some not so great) beers over the years with friends and family. After giving and receiving tons of recommendations, it became impossible to remember them all — so PintWise was born. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Photograph each beer and log the name, brewery, style, price, and where you bought it • Rate in half-stars, mark whether you'd buy it again, and write tasting notes while it's fresh • Credit collaborating breweries on collab brews • Search your whole catalog in seconds, right there in the aisle • Share any beer as a beautiful card straight to your friends SEE YOUR TASTE TAKE SHAPE Statistics reveal your top styles, your favorite breweries, your average rating, and your highest-rated pour. At the end of the year, Your Year in Beer wraps it all into a recap worth sharing. YOURS, EVERYWHERE Your catalog syncs across your devices with iCloud, so replacing a phone never means losing a single beer. Export the whole thing — photos included — to a plain backup file any time. No lock-in. PintWise is free for your first 5 beers. Unlimited beers, backup restore, and everything above are part of PintWise Pro. Built by one person, on nights and weekends, for people who take their beer seriously and themselves less so. Cheers.
