Not ideal and push review
Friend recommended the app since I am starting a bar at my house. They have a lot of choices when it comes to adding things to your bar (spices, spirits, bitters, etc). My issue is in the ingredients section and the recipes. It looks as if a random person got on and was trying to tell someone how to make a drink, “Put sugar in glass add water and muddle and spirit and ice” every time you go into a drink it will prompt you to do a review, hence why I am here. Give me time to figure out the app and before pushing a review in my face. Not worth the 3.99 a month.
Not worth it
Terrible app for managing home bar.
Financial parasite
App has no way to stop paying if you opt in for the $1.99 a month to store “your bar” in the app and actually build drinks. The app sucked and we didn’t even use it the first night because google gave better drink suggestions with our drinks suggestions with our ingredients. Might be okay for a practicing bartender to make basic drinks but would not recommend
It asked me 3 times to review it
Ive had the app 16 seconds and it asked me to review it 3 times so here’s 1 star. If i can actually look around the app a little and I like it, I’ll update the review…

Cool concept but needs some work
I paid for the subscription to have a way to see what I could make based on what's in my bar. Unfortunately the paid section of the app doesn't actually look at the ingredients you have saved, because most of the drinks I clicked had a bunch of ingredients I didn't select.
Don’t like the app
The app doesn’t have a lot of drinks, it only has the common drinks but what if you wanna make other drinks. All I’m saying is expand how many drinks the app has.
Homebar
The home bar was disappointing. It does not let you add your own ingredient and hardly any name brands are on the app..
Crashes
I spent 10 minutes adding all my ingredients I have in my bar, when I pressed “find” it crashed each time.
Limited archive
The app only allows you to choose 3 ingredients. Many cocktails have more than 3 ingredients.
Suggestions:
Include an option for the user to build/customize, name and save their cocktails for future use.
If the app is able to identify the user’s custom built drink as a “common” drink then it can/should add it to the search engine for other users to find when searching. For example, a frozen piña colada drink.
