The app is useful and there are easy to use recipes. It’s very resourceful information about the drinks as well. However, I wish you could locate the drinks faster. Meaning when I type in what drink I would like to make I don’t have to go to its category. This takes to much time. For instance, when I type in Manhattan in the search bar I don’t want have to go to its category to find the drink. The app is wonderful and I brought the premium because it’s useful. Thanks for sharing this information:)

This app is really easy to navigate and has the most recipes for mixing drinks. It is easy to save your favorite cocktails and if you’re not sure what to make its recommendations are always fun to try. And the food pairing is also a great extra. The customer service is the best of any company I’ve experienced. They immediately responded and helped fixed my problems. Hands down the best money I spent on my home bar.

I have to admit this Apt was created with a lot of attention to detail and beautifully illustrated mock and cocktails. They’ve even put the extra effort in on what many of these beverages pair well with in meals or snacks.

Needs improvement

So it gives you pop-up begging for a rating too often, it asked 3 times while I was exploring to figure out how to use the app. That’s annoying enough, but there’s one MAJOR feature that an app like this needs and it lacking - the ability to tell it what ingredients you have so it can give you back recipes you can make. That’s why I’m only giving it two stars. Other than that, the photos are great. I don’t know if the recipes are any good, I haven’t found one yet that I have all the ingredients to make.
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback! We sincerely apologize for the frequent pop-up requests—it wasn’t our intention to disrupt your experience, and we've reduced the frequency in the latest update that will probably be up in the next 2 days.As for the feature you mentioned about selecting ingredients to get recipes, we completely understand how important that is! The good news is that this feature already exists—just tap on the 'magic' icon (it’s at the centre bottom). Select the option "select from ingredients". There, you can select the ingredients you have, and the app will suggest the best recipes starting with those that need the fewest additional items.We truly value your input and hope you’ll give the app another shot. Let us know if you have more suggestions—we're always working to improve! 🥂
