I would like to be able to enter a particular ingredient that is not on the list. I cannot create my own cocktail list if I have an item that is not in the drop down. It’s great that you can select the type of glass and the measurements but your stuck with items on the drop down list.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Just google your recipes. I want my money back.

Good info on various drinks. My gripe is the limited search. Names have to be exact to come up in search. Adding a real search that works with partial terms or incorrect spelling would be helpful, and is expected (we've come to expect this through Google).

Love the fact it gives you drinks you can make with what is on hand and can add custom<br/>ingredients and drinks. The only thing missing is:<br/><br/>A list of ingredients that'll complete uncompleted recipes missing 1 ingredient. The feature with favorite drinks adding to the shopping list is near that point, but i'd like it for drinks I haven't favorited yet. <br/><br/>The only other thing is that the random drink function would be great with the Drinks You Can Make list. It only works for the Browse All list. If it is supposed to work with Drinks You Can Make then maybe there's a bug because it does not work for me. <br/><br/>Anyway, add those two features and its a 5 star app. Its very favorable compared to Liquor Cabinet, which is clunky for adding/altering recipes and adding ingredients, and has no random drink function, too. <br/><br/>Maybe the look of the app can be a bit better too. But thats a nit picking.

I’ve had this app for a while now but it’s time to look for a better one. They need to fix the display, you can’t see any of the drop down selections!

With its ability to add your own recipes, highlight favorite recipes and most of all add/manage ingredients makes this one of the best if not the best bartender apps I've ever used and I have tried so many of them. It's an excellent tool.

My current favorite cocktail recipe app is abandonware so I’m looking for a new one. This one looked intriguing, with a small but enthusiastic set of reviews, and possibly robust set of recipes and custom user recipes. <br/><br/>Unfortunately, as another reviewer noted, the recipes weren’t what I expected. And easy example: Lemon Drop. I expect it to use Absolute Citron or other lemon-infused vodka, some lemon juice, simple syrup and maybe an orange liqueur. The recipe here was straight vodka and a lot of lemon juice. From a previous developer response, they state they’re using classic, long accepted recipes. I believe them. That’s fine. But I’m looking for recipes that are generally similar to what’s broadly used in 2018. This discrepancy between what I expect and the library was across my favorite drinks. <br/><br/>Additionally, the UI design is not attractive, to me. It’s not bad, but it’s not a delight. Especially compared to the old app I’m replacing, which is elegant and way to use. <br/><br/>I decided that for me a kinda clunky app that I’d have to write all my core recipes anew wasn’t what I wanted. <br/><br/>If this got tuned up, the recipes expanded to include contemporary approaches, and a UI refresh of the UI (see the sadly abandoned Old Sport for inspiration), I’d gladly pay a few bucks for it. <br/><br/>This app is a good option to compare to the other freemium apps, which have their own pluses and minuses.
