I spent a lot of time adding all my ingredients and then the app forgot them all. I am signed in.
Missing recipes and ingredients (no, 1/2 & 1/2 is not the same as "sweet cream", yes it DOES matter what brand of cream of coconut you use), no way to add custom ingredients or recipes, interface takes forever to load, font is all wrong, and too small.
The app itself is great, but it's now deleted my entire ingredients library three times. I have quite a collection so entering it all is a huge pain and defeats the purpose of the app. So, 1 star until it's fixed, but I would likely give 5 if it were working.
Does not retain the info you put into it. Loaded up all my ingredients and my stock last night. Today I added 1 more ingredient and then everything in my library disappeared. Also noticed last night it does not sync between devices even though it shows I'm signed in on both my devices. Shows promise but I cant take the time to input everything I have when I want to find a drink.
Perfect app before the update, now glitchy and in shambles. They added some useful features like the option to add custom recipes and ingredients but they made it much harder to find your favorite recipes (or any recipe for that matter) and now it is broken and the app never starts but forever is stuck on the loading screen.
Used to love this but a weird update suddenly deleted all of my favorites, makes the app load forever on startup, searching for drinks shows dozens of random drinks before the drink you literally searched for. I can see what they tried to do with the update but it was rushed, untested and broken. I hope they'll figure it out soon, but avoid this app for now.
Your newest update completely erased everything I had saved on this app. Good job ruining it.
Randomly logged me out and won't let me log in with my old profile, deleting all my ingredients/ favorites
New update has turned this into garbage. Searching for a cocktail should take me straight to it, regardless of that ingredients I have added.
There is absolutely no excuse to deleting years of favourite cocktails added by each user on the app. It was definitely a decision of "not being worth doing it". Even if the old libraries were local and syncing was not an option, they could have warned the users on a previous update. And yes, it is possible. You could have exported the cocktails list. There is no new functionality worth losing years of your favourites. An unprecedent stab in the back, when you least expected. Shame.
My ingredients keep getting cleared! So frustrating!
Surprisingly buggy for such a simple app
Please stop changing things. This app used to be amazing, now it's different every time I open it up. Please, make up your minds on how you want things laid out, and focus on fixing bugs and stability.
App looked promising but I quickly found it to be lacking and not worth the money. For one drink list limited and you can't add ingredients like cream soda or any other mixers that are not part of there pre populate list. Also after adding in my own drinks they were all deleted when I went to use them, app doesn't seem to open if there's no internet connection. Very disappointed.
The update messed everything up. Lost all of my saved ingredients and searches for a specific drink turn up ~100 incorrect results.
Seems like the app has gone dead. no updates anymore, can not add your own ingredients, can not make any notes on drinks or make your own lists on them. was a good app but it has gone dead
Good app but limited. I don't understand why they don't let you add your own recipes and rate cocktails. You can favorite drinks but drinks aren't separated into drinks I like and drinks I hate, needs a rating system. The database is missing alot of recipes which is fine if they let you add your own cocktails and ingredients but they don't. Without those two basic features it's not worth the money
