The app looks good, I like the option to check the ingredients I have and get recipes out of that... That's what I was looking for. But there are almost no fruit liqueurs at all so I get just a handful of possible recipes. Devs: check Cusenier's liquors! There are over a dozen different flavors. Also, what about a search option for ingredients, I didn't see it. The categories list is nice but a bit long. Think that this app is used worldwide and not all the brands in the list are available.
Keep getting error message that all has bug and to update. No updates available.
This app is no longer being updated. I bought the premium version and discovered it's not been updated since 2018. I suggest you look elsewhere for a cocktail app.
Very limited selection. Needs generic types of alcohol. Needs more non alcoholic ingredients.
Premium locks most recipes with a MONTHLY SUB
The app deleted the ingredients at update. Ridiculous. Uninstalled!
why do i have to pay a premium for a recipe i can look for elsewhere?
Okay looking app, except you have to pay for most of the recipes, and it can't be considered good if it doesn't even have a recipe for the number one most ordered cocktail in your country!
The fact that this is $4 a month is a joke.
I bought some cocktail packages many years ago, I emailed them and never got an answer to restore my purchases. Terrible service!
I've been trying to cancel this subscription for years now. And it keeps renewing it without my permission. Time to get the better business involved or take them to court..
I hate the fact it's behind a pay wall and feel the "free" download is bait for the app to get downloaded. I wasn't impressed at this fact so I have uninstalled it
Very little name brands. Have to use types of alcohol more often than not
Abysmal. Won't sync between devices even though it's meant to. Most recipes are "premium" that you have to pay to see. Interface is clumsy and unintuitive. The "my cocktail bar" app is light years ahead. Uninstalling.
Started great. Then EVERY drink recipe was suddenly behind a pay wall. And the app is DEFINITELY not smooth enough to pay for. Uninstalled.
Gotta pay to see all cocktails I can make with my shelf. There are other apps that do the same for free.
Entered my entire inventory including spirits, liqueurs, juices. App only knew how to make 1 cocktail from that, and that 1 cocktail required a liqueur not in my inventory. What a waste of time.
I bought this app in the past when there were no subscription plans. I'm trying to use it again, but my previously purchased packages are no longer available in my app. The instructions they give is to send an email to them asking to restore the packages. However, they never answer back!! So basically they took my money and that was it.
Nothing functions. The entire app seems to be in development mode. UI_ in all the menus. And nothing is functioning.
I have contacted them twice over a number of years to restore my purchase as they promise they would in app but they never respond. Don't waste your money on this scam. It's looks great but after reading all the other reviews it looks like they just churn and burn their customers.
I subbed to premium and there was an error, i didnt get my membership, maybe will change rating if they fix
Völlig überteuerter Monats- und Jahrespreis! Nur teilweise deutsch übersetzt und dann auch noch total schlecht!
Needs improvement. Uninstalled in less than 30 minutes.
Selected 6 spirits and 4 other liqueurs and everything in the pantry and it still suggested only one cocktail. I know at least 6 very mainstream ones that can be made easily. Don't pretend this is a free app if it's not. Hopefully you see something if you pay.
The ability to select your bar stock and have recipes tailored to my availability is great. Switched to a paid model, but no ads. Hasn't been updated in years.
Terrible library of cocktails.
Would be a great app if you didn't have to pay
Cool app. Definitely love the interface. But half of the drinks are locked out unless you get their premium membership. What garbage. Everything being subscription-based is completely stupid. Terrible business model. Disappointed in this app.
Some of the recepies are absolutely wrong. I wasted money but the ingredients only to find out I didn't need them or I needed what I don't have
Too expensive for what it does. I also don't understand why a yearly membership (49,90€) is more expensive than 12 months of monthly membership (47,88€). Seems like a scam to get those without math skills...
The app is pretty cool but unfortunately I don't believe in paying a monthly subscription for information I can find on Google. Had the cost been lifetime I'd be more likely to dish out the money. Unfortunate.
Seems cool, but it's listing drinks with ingredients I don't have. So if it worked, would be a very good app.
