Beer With Me 17+

While this is a great app for connecting with friends over a shared enjoyment of alcoholic beverages, a “Yew 🤙” button would much elevate the user experience. The duality of the options “🍻Cheers!” and “Sit tight. I’m on my way!” Inherently provide a limiting user experience for the quarantined social drinker. When I feel the gentle buzz of my phone in my pocket and look to see my good friend Bobbles, 500+ miles away, crack a cold one all I can think is “Yew 🤙” Or when I see, deep in the frozen recesses of Wyoming, Thorny slams a swig of whisky, I just want to send him a little “Yew 🤙” Sometimes the present options are just not enough. We all yearn for a little more in life. When I want my buddy Ross to join the sesh, I should be able to just rip a “Yew 🤙” in his general direction to get the message across. Alas, I will make do for now.

Hey there!

Love the idea behind this app and the interface. It gives me great joy to see my friends all over the US enjoying a beverage, and my face lights up when I get the notification. However, some minor improvements would make a world of difference.

First, allow users to engage with each other on the app. Maybe offer some default response options ie “count me in!”, “see you soon!”, “cheers betch!” Or perhaps an “are you gucci?” when your phone buzzes with a cocktail notification at 9:27am on a Tuesday. Second, allow users to create friend groups within the friends list and offer a search feature within the friends list. Third, allow a “hide from these people” option so that your mom doesn’t judge you for that cocktail at 9:27am on a Tuesday, but is still able to beer with you at any given happy hour. Fourth, give us the option to create profile pics and add pics to our drinking indicators. Sixth, add the seltzer option. My friends and I love claws.

Thanks for all the fun so far! Generally speaking, I’m beery happy with the app :)

I think this app has a lot of potential to grow very popular once a few additions are made. I enjoy the app and the simplicity of it, yet I wish there were more features. Expanding the drink list would be a great start, along with adding in a “custom” drink selection wherein users can type in their specialty drink. Additionally, the option to send a photo with the notification of drinking would be a neat way to share various tastes and brands of alcoholic beverages. Another cool option would be adding a profile picture so we can see a little picture of our friend’s face where they are drinking or with the notification of drinking. I do love this app, especially during quarantine, because it makes me feel close to my friends. And because we can be alcoholics in solidarity.
