Purchased lifetime. Favorites worked for one session. Now no Favorites and tool is broken. Update: Support was able to fix the Favorites issue within 48 hours or less. Works perfectly now. I love this app and its features. You can find every cocktail, know the ingredients, and the proper way to mix it. It identifies cocktails that are official IBA listed. The snack and food pairings are very helpful. Well worth the licensing. Great for cocktail parties.

App is pretty good, but It would be nice if we could add our own drink recipes too. Also the rate me pop-up is very annoying. It shouldn't even be there for the paying subscribers. My rating will be adjusted if these are addressed.
