8 of 12This is the first app in a long time that I've downloaded that "doesn't work" on my iPhone 4. It ran the first time I tried it, but now it just sits at the neon 'Flightless' screen after "flashing" once. Even force-quitting the app doesn't help. When it did run, it seemed like an interesting idea with a decent UI, although I wished there was some way to browse the drink recipes directly for the various "moods". Hopefully the devs will fix the bugs present in the initial release and then add more functionality in future updates.
Crashes constantly, drink advice is weak at best (coffee? Seriously?) and the interface is too limited. North of equator, south if equator and Vegas for locations? I can't even say "good start".
The app just gives you the same drinks over and over again I downloaded this app because I don't no a lot of drinks and I wanted to try new stuff but the choices are horrible I want my money back
It's like the app developer did not even try. This is ridiculous I would rather buy a over priced app then deal with this app any more. Deleted!
This app just gave me "water" as a cocktail 6 out of the 12 tries I used it. Other suggestions? "beer". "coffee". I get it, it's trying to be funny. Do that very occasionally. Not the majority of the time. This app is totally useless when I get a repetitive attempted wit. Shame because it looks really nice. Get it together and maybe this might be a go-to drink ordering app.
Cycles between just a handful of drinks. A better alternative: ask your bartender if you don't know what to drink.
This app is the worst and should be free. I'm complaining to the Apple in hopes to get my money back.
I really hate when I pay for an app when the icon is not the same from what is shown on the App Store. The icon is not what I had wanted. This really frustrates me. I know it is minor, but the icon is so darn ugly. The app itself needs improvement as well.
