Ratings and reviews

This app was exactly what I was looking for, a free in depth bartending class. I was dismayed to find the site extremely frustrating to use, one cannot even comment in the comments area about how the quizzes dont work correctly.. without OOPS SOMETHING WENT WRONG showing on the screen! Brilliant concept, but overly burdened, perhaps but flash/ bling/bang is overly cumbursome? By the way, I'm a plain Jane old school sorta gal. Reading pages is a beautiful way to learn, for those educated to read!

Not a quick reference tool. This is not the app to have if you're behind the bar trying to look up a recipe or a new spin on an old classic. It's slow to wake, always needs an update, and doesn't have common cocktail recipes via the search function. The content featured is neat for cocktail connoisseurs with spare time, but non-funtional while actually working a bar rail or well.

Though the app has some useful tips for people that have absolutely no idea how to bartend, it doesn't really go beyond that. The quizzes are laughably easy, and don't really help you learn anything useful. If you know absolutely nothing about bartending then I would say go for it, but if you have a decent understanding of bartending then I would definitely look else where. Nothing "pro" about this app.
