The best app out there.
I’ve used this for years alongside half a dozen other apps, and this is the one I always come back to. The ingredient inventory and ingredient recommendations are wonderful, and the sheer volume of recipes is fantastic.
A whole suite!
I’ve been using this particular app the past couple weeks as I’ve been getting more into cocktails after getting bored of the craft beer world. I just discovered the other apps the developer makes and the moment my loyalty became undying was when I realized I could create an account and sync my ingredient list across each app. I will surely soon have a dedicated folder for these apps.
Update is a mess
I just updated the app, & it doesn’t appear neatly on my iPhone, which it used to in every past iteration.
My constant go-to
Over the years I’ve used this cocktail app more than any other, and I’ve learned so much from it. The UI is fantastic, the inventory tracking is incredibly helpful, and the catalog of recipes is immense. If you have any interest in cocktails this is a must-buy.
Astonishing detail and presentation
This is one of the best apps I’ve ever seen. At first I hesitated at the $9.99 price tag, but it’s actually probably underpriced! There are hundreds of historical cocktail recipes, plus detailed descriptions of different ingredients and examples to use. Superb.
Unlocked my mixing brain
I had been in a cocktail rut, just making the same things because I couldn’t find new ways to combine what I had and I couldn’t go by every bottle in the store. These apps opened up my cabinet to literally—yes, literally—hundreds of new possibilities. The interface is as brilliant and elegant and classy as a Vieux Carré. Do it. You’ll love it.
Just missing too many ingredients
No st. Germains / elderflower, no aperol, no amaro nonino? List goes on. I’d say 20% of my bottles aren’t available. Which is upsetting because the number of drinks in the app is great, but it’s just not usable in its current form for me because of it.
