Great Service, Great App.
I have been using backbar for the last 4 years while I use it a little different than a typical user. The app works great, super easy and accessible. It has to low of a rating on the App Store for being to good of an app. The UI is extremely friendly and easy to use after you play around with it a little. The order entry is so streamlined while I don’t 100% trust the email to rep function (due to personal reason with my own sales reps. Not the app itself) the format and output of orders are so simple and easy to read. The free program works great for bars with low budgets and owners that are too stingy to spend a few extra bucks. This is a great tool for the beginning bar manager or Purchaser. 5 Stars and excited to see what is to come in the future!
United StatesDoesn’t work
Downloaded. Created account. Broken at organization input. Type in a location. But won’t let you progress. Would give 0 stars
United StatesThis App is Unusable
After the most recent update it is nearly impossible to take inventory on this app. It’s messy, buggy, and unresponsive. You press a number and it doesn’t enter it, and don’t even think about using decimals because it will not allow you to even though there’s a decimal button. It’s insanely frustrating that I can no longer use my phone for inventory or ordering because this app is trash.
United StatesCrashes
The app was working fine until I downloaded the new update. Now the inventory can not be accessed to complete counts which means no ordering without guessing. It also forces you update items in your inventory or ignore the prompt to update items in inventory requiring attention. If you don’t have OCD it probably is not that big of a deal. But if you have OCD it is a problem. Data is not stored on your device so if the server is experiencing problems on the day of your count you are in trouble.
United StatesHas It’s Problems
It seems like a lot of work went into creating the app but it still falls short.The only thing this app does that an excel file I created will not do is transmit orders to the vendors. It does lack preset reorder quantities with the ability to increase or decrease the quantity based upon higher or lower than normal volume. I was not able to import my spreadsheet even after taking the time to reformat the file to meet the import requirements. I tried reviewing the tutorial videos and they will not play.
United StatesTruly disappointed - “personal use … is strictly prohibited”?; account terminated
- Misleading claims of being “really free, forever” (FAQs) - No followup from Customer Support after requesting explanation of termination. - “Allowed Industries and Uses” is difficult to find on their website (Acceptable Use) and not highlighted in the App Store’s description. I researched apps to manage my home bar (personal) and found Backbar. Their website claims it is free with no disclaimers or caveats. I downloaded the app, spent 2 hours inputing information through the web portal, and was looking forward to the end result. The next morning I received an email requiring proof of being a business or my account would be terminated. I replied to their email stating their website made no claim with supporting information from their website, and found my account had already been terminated. I later found the verbiage that “personal use … is strictly prohibited” buried in their “Acceptable Use” subpage of their website. This information is not easily apparent and not highlighted in the App Store’s app description. I was looking forward to using the service, but I will be researching different options.
United StatesWorth the subscription
I don’t know where to start, this app is actually incredible. My restaurant recently subscribed to the app and it has made our lives so much easier. It saves me so much time on inventory and ordering. Highly recommended!
