Ratings and reviews

This is a useful, and beautiful tool, but it's not worth the annual fee of $11, or $2/month, that they are charging. I would be very happy paying a one time fee of ~$10. The free version only has a limited selection of simple cocktail, ones I can keep in my head without needing an app. It's pretty impotent, honestly. Useless for someone already somewhat experienced as a home bartender.

Great app, I am not sure about the value of the premium but it's reasonably intuitive and easy to use, and so good for storing details of my own created drinks and variations on standards. I don't like subscription model for something like this that is a static library, but paid for one year to throw them some $ and will evaluate in a year whether or not I am using the library of drink recipes more or just using it more for my own stuff.

I'm upset about leaving this review, but I believe it's best to put my voice there: Top Pros: Gorgeous look. Ability to sync profile. Top Cons: Subscription Model, Generic / Branded are not interchangeable I'm not a mixologist, but just a person looking to get dirty with a specific alcohol cabinet. Barely any drinks are available and when I look at the Maximizer to "add new recipes", 19/20 are locked behind a subscription. I'd be okay with an In-App-Purchase that unlocks all or a "good package" of the drinks permanently (Or an unlock specific categories option). I've heard about the app in the past get a lot of great talk, but it seems those users are grandfathered in whilst new users foot the annual bill. I understand the plight to support income, but there can be better ways than yet another subscription service for novice / entry level people.
