App does not connect to RateBeer anymore, so it's now useless. I always assumed that by using this app, my reviews would also be in my RateBeer account... Just logged in and found zero reviews, I feel like the dozens of beers I've reviews was now a complete waste of time... Not least because I was reviewing them mainly for me, so I can work out which beer styles I prefer, this has made me frankly angry

This was a great app until the last few weeks. It now bombs out when it starts because it can not reach Rate Beer's website. It is sad to see it go down with no support as it was the best beer app out there..

Love the idea, if it worked the way it was supposed to, I would give it a 5. I would even pay for it. Keeps telling me there is a connection issue, won't let me login, find beers, nothing. But the Barcode reader works. Woop, woop! Let me know when you have all the bugs out of it.

The app has 98% of everything I wanted, I can check which glass I should use, rate the beers and receive suggestions of new beers, the only thing I miss is the ability to add new beers, this would be awesome since here in Brazil we are having the dawn of a new era with new beers appearing every day.

I've been using this app from the time it launched on Android. I used to love it, but a couple of weeks ago it stopped connecting to Rate Beer to be able to save all your beers and ratings. I hope this can be fixed... For now I'm going to use untapped.

This app was the expensive alternative when the old legit ratebeer app stopped working. Now I'm 5 dollars in the hole because this app no longer works and the fee ratebeer app is working normally again.

This is a great app for beer enthusiasts. Lots of ratings for most beer and I haven't encountered a beer that didn't have its Barcode in the database. . . Anyone new to the world of beer keep in mind that the majority of people rating, and describing beers appear to be very knowledgeable and experienced beer drinkers. So something rated as a 3 and described as lacking a rounded flavour, etc. May be an excellent beer; just not technically meeting the standards of that variety of beer.

Used to work much better than the Ratebeer App, does not synchronize ratings anymore.

Edit : used to work really great and now doesn't synchronize my ratings anymore. Used to 5 stars.. So much better than the ratebeer app. Love that we don't need to search with the exact beer name, that it let's you edit a rating without adding a "?" like the ratebeer app. Really well done. Glad I spent CAD 1.50 on it.

The app managed to lose my last 15 ratings somehow. Given it was over xmas i had invested in some exe beers. What is the point of having the app? Should just keep a spreadsheet. More reliable. Is there an alternative? Android version is so crap by comparison to iOS version too.

I was really happy by the app and its speed. It was better than the official ratebeer app. Sadly it doesn't sync anymore since a good 3 weeks. I attempted to contact the dev but didn't receive any response..in 2 weeks. I'll gladly update my rating of the app start to work again.

This used to be a good app but now it can't connect to RateBeer anymore. Moreover I just found out that it hasn't been able to send my ratings to RateBeer since July 2016, but didn't bother to notify me. I had to rewrite my ratings directly into RateBeer. This app is now useless.
