RateBeer

Suits me (i.e. I can search and rate beers) otherwise but it almost always fails communicating with the server. Sometimes the rating goes to the server but the app still thinks it didn't. Tried signing out and in again - not much help. Very frustrating app.

This App has not been working for weeks and weeks, due to Connection Error on Searching. I must have 30 to 40 offline ratings saved on my phone.

I used to love this app and the fantastic rating system, but over time, the awful server function and lack of technical support turned me off to it.

Obviously a good site, but a bit useless seeming as I can't log in. It works on the browser using the same details, so why won't the app let me in?

Decent. If you're having connection issues, log out and back in.

Not quite as good as the old app but still useful.

Won't Install

can't log in

I cannot login

It's buggy. Features sometimes don't work. Has connection problems. Search feature is iffy. Sometimes won't let you upload ratings for days at a time. But other than that it's worth the price. I'd be pissed if I paid money for it.

Love the site, but how can the app be so dysfunctional? After updates it "works" for a few weeks (still extremely limited functionality compared to the site) and then stops working for a month. Disgrace.

Login issues and sync issues have been fixed. App is fairly good now.

2/20/16: No matter where I am, what form of connection I'm using, this app never fails to fail. Constantly having "connection issues" or "a problem right now." I prefer their rating system, otherwise I'd only use BeerAdvocate. The app also lacks many of the features of the site, like looking up other people, forums, and even editing your profile. UPDATE: The update made the app even worse. Officially going over to Untapped because the RateBeer app is unusable.

Where to begin... The colors and design are awful. Feels like something from the 90s. The new search is a jumbled mess of incompetence, where there is no organization to the results. Even after a scan, I had to scroll through the list to find what I'd scanned. At least the old app was functional and intuitive... My advice - Do Not Update! And use the website instead. This developer is clearly not interested in the app. If he were, he'd read the reviews.

I used to love this app but with the recent update that made it almost entirely just to rate things I will be deleting it. Can't search by brewery, state or style anymore. Maybe I'll reinstall if they change it back. Still haven't changed it since I wrote this... Uninstall

I don't know why is everyone complaining, it works fine for me. :) I like the app and I like the way it's designed, it's simple and very easy to use. I just can't find a list of beers, I have to search for them manually. But that's okay, it's still very good!

Yeah so it's a cool little app to have on your phone while you're sat in a pub trying a new beer, the only thing is it doesn't work 9 times out of 10. If you download this app you will constantly be unable to upload due to connection failure. Sort it out, you have thousands of registered users.

Never manages to connect so cannot post reviews, defeating the main point of the app. Also very limited in features, it could be a great app!

It is so strange when someone decides to take an already mediocre app and make it even worse. At least the old mediocre app had many very useful features. See, now they're gone! Features I very much liked having which I don't see in this version: Top lists, ability to browse places, ability to sort a brewery's beers (by ratings, date added, votes), ratings of places listed on the "nearby" screen, etc. (Excuse the harshness... it is likely the new app works better in some respects I have not discovered... for instance because I do not myself ratebeers. Oh, actually, I'm pretty sure the "nearby" functionality is better in other respects.)

Updated to latest and greatest and now it NO WORKY! I'm disappointed and pissed. Galaxy Note 3 Android 5.0

Wow what a horrendous app. 99% of the time, the app won't upload to the main site and data base. I have no idea why it hasn't been scrapped yet. I keep it because it's the only mobile option for ratebeer.

The previous version worked ok but since I updated it cant connect anymore. I notice quite a few other people with the same problem ... there is something wrong with this app

Couldn't be worse.

Used to be so much better. I just use the desktop version on my phone now instead

The new app is deeply flawed and is missing so many features to make it pretty unusable.

i enjoy the product online on my desktop but the app on my phone has experienced continued syncing issues and connectivity issues as well as failure to load

App has turned into such crap. Tried to share a beer with a friend and couldn't even share it. Such a waste of time. The moment they decided to use the new interface was the demise of this app.

I can still search beers, but the search needs improvement. Reviews not uploading again...

What happened to this app ALL of my beers that i rated or looked up are GONE!!!!! so now i have to start all over AGAIN???? not happy at all with the new update. Looks like ill be using Untappd app from now on!!!

Can you fix this app. Not syncing for weeks now. A load of crap

Keep adding the old features in, especially the rankings by country.

App is decent and will suit my needs since the BeerAdvocate application seems to no longer exist or function.

Rate beer is the best. Thanks Joe and all the others who made drinking beer even more enjoyable. Major beer kudos to you all.

Best feature is offline ratings. Developer is quick to respond to issues.

Other than that, it's OK.

Need to know call-related information?!

Slow

I will agree with past reviewers that the old app had its flaws but nothing compared to the disaster it is now. It is nearly unusable. Seriously how could the update be this bad. Searching is difficult. Looking at a breweries list of beers is near impossible, the ability to post or view ticks is gone

New rating: so so much better! Like that we can a brewery and get all beers from that brewery. places near works great too. Much more responsive as well. Great upgrade this time! Good job devs! Old rating: Always use the website because this app is missing way too many features: no avg rating of beers, can't see all the reviews/ratings, helpful tips too vague, can't see Friends, etc.

Old app wasn't perfect, but compared to this mess it was outstanding. Now it's just a joke. A sad one. Uninstalling right now.
