8,500+ Drink Recipes for Negative User Reviews
✓ CrashesCrashes every time I open it..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Real jerks.I stored my favorite drinks in this app and just want a freaking screenshot. But now it’s locked and paid service. I don’t need hundreds of drinks and all that bs. I’ve never had such a bad experience with the App Store with an app being taken over like this..Version: 6.7.4
✓ Careful or payIt has been a while since I last used this app which was handy in the past. Today I when I launched it there was a series of messages with a big Continue button. The last one was a subscription plan but the layout was such that it looked like continue was the only choice and you were not subscribing. I was wrong it immediately tried to start a subscription. The way to close it without subscribing is a small x in the upper left. It is purposely not obvious which is poor customer service..Version: 5.7.7
✓ No longer “Free”. Should change the nameYou really should change the name of your app since it is no longer free. Plus $11/month or $67/year for a recipe app! Have had this app for years. Now it will no longer open unless I pay. 1 star & delete! Bye money grabbers!.Version: 7.1.3
✓ More money?!Don’t know how to contact developers. Searched and searched. Already paid. Was suppose to make adds disappear, that never happened as a bartender when you need to find a recipe in a busy bar no time for adds or slow loading. Which this app can be slow. Now some new update wants me to pay again and has locked out some of my favorites. No email no update just opened app one day with changes made and demanding I pay again!!! Will be deleting this app. And finding an alternative..Version: 5.4.7
✓ Wrong ingredientsI’m a bartender, and I thought this app was PERFECT for me to use at work, until I saw the ingredients for an old fashion (butters, bourbon, and 7-UP?!?!). Then I looked up a Moscow mule, and it said vodka, lime juice and gingerALE…….really? Not gingerBEER? I was about to make this app my go-to for drink recipes at work until I realized I can’t trust anything it tells me…would be absolutely perfect if only they had the correct drink recipes.Version: 7.3.3
✓ BugUsed to be a good app but they changed the model for a monthly fee... You lost me ... Eric Canada.Version: 7.1.3
✓ CrashesThis application crashed as soon as I opened it multiple times. So I have yet to see what the app can do etc. Fix the crashing and I'll put more stars on..Version: 0
✓ Great but...Works great! Would love a feature where I could enter the ingredients that I have and filter out drinks I can make..Version: 0
✓ DisappointedThis was one of the first apps I ever downloaded and the longest lasting in my inventory. I used to love it. Even when the ads were introduced, I understood. However, after a recent update, many of the recipes I had marked as “favorite” are now locked and requiring me to watch a video or buy a subscription to see a recipe I’ve probably used hundreds of times. This, I cannot understand and am now looking for a replacement, even if it’s a quick Google search that provides several options, each with its own review. As a very long time user, this is extremely disappointing..Version: 5.9.4
✓ ScamIt scams you for a subscription right away!.Version: 6.6.8
✓ App issue.Sadly the app on my phone hasn't been working right.. every time I try to search for something it would shuts off.. anybody else experiencing this issue..? I have a brand new iPhone 7 so I don't think it's my phone. If there's an issue with the app I hope they fix it soon :/ because I absolutely love this app!.Version: 3.4.4
✓ Not greatI really don't understand all of the great reviews. I find that quite a few recipes, probably like more than 10% of those I've viewed, are missing ingredients. There will be an ingredient mentioned in the description that is not listed on the ingredients list, or the mixing instructions will specify an ingredient not listed - which means that you have no quantity specified for that ingredient. I like how the app is designed, just wish that the above flaw wasn't there..Version: 3.4.4
✓ Be carefulThey’ve just booby trapped the update. Be very careful or you’ll end up paying £30. Shame on you developers.Version: 5.4.7
✓ Prompt for review 5 seconds after opening the appTitle says it all.Version: 7.1.3
✓ TerribleI have been using this app for years and now it claims I should be paying 7.99 a month and does not let me access it.Version: 6.7.4
✓ UselessIt’s not an app. It’s an ad machine….Version: 7.3.3
✓ Crash n BurnNever worked... must do better. Opened the app but after 10 seconds it shut down... have discarded the app. Shame as it seemed a worthwhile thing.Version: 0
✓ Constantly crashesThere are better apps that don’t crash all the time..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Beware, app converted to scamApp blatently attempts to trick you into a subscription by making it look like you press 'Continue' after reading help screens when you first open the app... shame on them, BOO! This app has been around forever and it WAS a great 5* app, older reviews reflect that. Now, if you manage to get into the app without being tricked into unintentionally entering a subscription you will find much of the content, including favorites you have marked over the years, is locked and can no longer be viewed without either watching video ads or signing up for a subscription..Version: 5.7.7
✓ Use to love it, but the subscription model is stupid.I use to love this app for the two or three times a year I needed to figure out a drink recipe. Now that most of the recipes are locked it sucks. No way I want to pay for this kind of service..Version: 6.7.4
✓ Keep your finger off the fingerprint reader...This has always been a nice simple app, with a handful of key recipes, which is why I used it on a semi regular basis. No muss-No fuss. However, they have added new content, a few (??) new recipes, and many other optional features. Of course you don’t need to access any of this extra stuff to “use the app“, and you still get a fair amount of free recipes, but quite a number of recipes are now locked and require you to watch some advertising or do something else to gain access to them. A handful of my favorite recipes are now locked. And DEFINITELY watch out when you login the first time. The advertising to try to get you to spend $$ on a subscription is so hard to close, my iPhone tried to charge me twice because I didn’t hit the X “just right“. If my thumb had been on the fingerprint reader, I would have been stuck with a big old charge. I support the developers right to do anything they want with their app, but I’m not impressed with the amazing amount of new advertising, which in itself always makes me suspicious of ad tracking, etc. I think it’s time to delete this and move on..Version: 6.7.4
✓ Useless app.Nothing but pop ups n every page of the app. Why didn’t this get banned?.Version: 7.1.3
✓ Don’t click continue at end of tutorial or you’ll payFirst, its pretty deceptive at the end of their so called tutorial because there IS no tutorial. Then if you touch continue you’ve automatically enrolled in a free 3 day trial that quickly jumps to $4.99 p/mo. I know the onus’s on us but it should not be there in the first place Next: try and figure out how to make drinks from your own listed ingredients which is why I got the app in the first place. Never found out how to do it. Last: I’m not impressed with the app regardless of the deception and the ingredient matching..Version: 5.5.2
✓ Not the bestVery laggy, no metric, not very pretty. Not much thought has gone into this one. Try other cocktail apps.Version: 0
✓ Poor design n infoNo useful photos, poor functionalities, confused navigation, too many ads.Version: 3.4.4
✓ Total rip offBe very aware. One click on a link that’s badly described and you are on a £7.49 a month subscription. App was great but have deleted now. I won’t be conned like that. Andy..Version: 5.9.4
✓ So disappointingMy original review is below. All of a sudden this app is no longer free but a lot of money per month or year. I would have been happy to see ads and have a smaller list to choose from but this is not an option so I’ve deleted it. Easy to find the drinks you want and instructions are easy to follow. A very good range of drinks too..Version: 7.1.3
✓ ReviewI can't run it, crashes on start up..Version: 0
✓ Awesome - Thank You!Huge catalogue of drinks - and the app has the feel of a paid app (except for the cheesy random drink finder..?).Version: 0
✓ Waiting for 1.1I hope 1.1 is coming soon because there's a lot of bugs in this program. Other than that it's a pretty cool app..Version: 0
✓ Search Function a let down.This is very good for free. However the search function leaves a lot to be desired as it does not find keywords, just strings starting with the first word of the drink name. For example, the second drink on the list is called A Better Melonball, but you will not find this drink using melon as a search criteria; in fact you would need to type A Better Mel... etc to find this drink. Therfore it is somewhat limited if you want to find all possible martinis, because only martinis which BEGIN with the word martini will be brought up by the search engine. Improve this and I would give it one or two more stars. Another update but still no improvement to the search function. I will still be using the net to find recipes as the search engine here is rubbish. Please improve..Version: 0
✓ DrinksFreeNo longer free. Grandfather acct.Version: 7.3.3
✓ Works fineWorks fine (iPhone 2.2). Loads of recipes, clearly laid-out and read, searchable and ability to bookmark favourites (those who are complaining not many recipes are obviously only looking at the favourites, there are thousands in there, perhaps too many). Only drawback is that the measuremnts are not in metric, but then how hard can it be to figure out that 1 oz is one shot? And it's free. Go you good thing..Version: 0
✓ It's a trapI had difficulty finding the drinks I was looking for and when I did, most times they weren't even right. If I could give a negative star review, I would. Definitely deleting this app..Version: 3.4.4
✓ Why it’s cost so much?Early it was a free app. But now it’s ask me to pay💩🙈 for cocktails that was free🤷🏻♂️ Ps: don’t update!!!.Version: 5.7.7
✓ Not freeThey advertise it as being free but that’s only for the 3 day trial..Version: 7.1.3
✓ Taking money when it used to be freeThis app is great and has an enormous amount of recipes in it however it used to be free to look at everything on the app. The app is now changed it to a subscription based app. So now in order to view some recipes that I had already previously favorited I need to pay to look at. I don’t know when that changes this because I haven’t used it for awhile but this isn’t the same app that I used to love..Version: 6.7.4
✓ BadCrashing, does not work.Version: 5.3.1
✓ They lieI downloaded this app about 4 years ago. At that time it was a free app. Enjoyed using it to try new drinks, always good recipes. About 1 year ago there suddenly were some drinks that were locked and you had to watch an ad or pay to see the recipe. This week you have to subscribe to see anything on this app. Same recipes but no longer available to users under the previous terms. Drinks Free is not free!! What a lie..Version: 6.6.8
✓ Being forced into a subscriptionSo have now deleted as there is no way to escape the hard sell..Version: 7.1.3
✓ Crash problems in latest versionTrying to search for ‘sex on the beach’ crashes when you type ‘sex on the b’ and searching for ‘slippery nipple’ crashes when you type ‘slippery n’. Has been a fairly good app over the last few years, but latest crash problems are making me wonder if I should even keep it. I can take a lot but not crashing and closing the app with no warning..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Annoying adwareScreenshots do not show the banner ad, which is far too easily tapped when trying to use the search function. takes you out of the app and into their advertisers website in safari. very annoying. all this info is available on wikipedia anyway..Version: 0
✓ UselessCrashed as soon as search started. Deleted immediately.Version: 3.4.4
✓ I used to love this app before they locked everything.This app used to be good. Crashes every now and on top of that they want me to pay $60 a year to use this app. I will be removing it asap off my phone and will find a better app that works and doesn't charge for user uploaded cocktail recipes. Remove the wallpapers and other junk give the recipe portion of the app for free then maybe I'll download it again..Version: 5.9.4
✓ Keeps CrashingApp deleted. Keeps crashing. Tried re-installing it and still doesn’t work..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Subscription?I have to pay for Drinks Free?.Version: 7.3.3
✓ A$7.50 PER MONTH??Have had this app for years. From time to time it crashed, but for free, that’s acceptable. After the most recent update I got rid of it, because you need to pay A$7.50 per month to be able to see locked recipes!! Definitely not worth $90 per year when I can buy a book for A$20 & have it permanently..Version: 5.4.7
✓ OkayDownloaded for inspiration while on vacation. Have a finite supply of ingredients and too lazy to think of drinks ourselves. App made a few suggestions but failed to list some basic ones (other than rum and coke) which leads me to believe there are many more it's not capturing. Perhaps more recipes are in development?.Version: 3.4.4
✓ Don’t use thisNot sure which genius put the drink recipes into this thing but you DO NOT put 7 up in an old fashioned.Version: 5.3.1
✓ DisingenuousDescribed as a free app, which it used to be, but now no longer runs unless you commit to a subscription. Deleted..Version: 6.7.4
✓ CrashesThis app crashes all the time when looking for drinks!!!!.Version: 3.4.4
✓ What part is free?I was going to use this since it says it’s free so I downloaded it. When I opened it there were pages telling me about all the great features but I couldn’t get beyond the page that required a paid subscription. Seriously? $7.99 a month to use an app that is supposedly free? There’s nothing that turns me off more to an app than a misleading description. Except maybe an absurd monthly fee..Version: 7.1.3
✓ NOT FREEYou have to pay to access recipes absolute scam!!!!.Version: 7.1.3
✓ Freemium Bullcr*pSo I used to love this app and used it all the time! It was great. I had access t hundreds, if not thousands of drinks! Then it updates and I open the app and most of the drinks I look up are locked. To go from free to premium like that is horrible, and not a one-time pay, but a subscription for $50 a year! No thanks, google is free and doesn’t shove ads in my face that block my screen. Immediate uninstall after their Premium update..Version: 5.9.4
✓ Greed kills good appsSeriously 60 dollars a year for drink recipes get a grip.Version: 6.7.4
✓ IanplHas become useless. Type nine letters into search and the app shuts down..Version: 3.4.4
✓ Good but could be betterI love it if you had pictures of the cocktails. That would own! Also as has been pointed out. The drink categories all contain the same drinks. One more feature which would be really great is a description of the differeent drinks. Even if it is just a link to the wikipedia page or something. For example I wasn't quite sure what amaretto was. Anyways, all that aside. Very cool or a free app. I love cocktails so this is a great tool to have around. Look forward to see if the updates contain my suggestions..Version: 0
✓ Possibly worth keeping. Beware charges and bloatware.Very comprehensive. Unfortunately you now have to pay for locked recipes. What’s more it’s not a one-off but a subscription. Additionally they try to sell you LOTS of other apps... so it has bloatware! Disappointing compared to what it was like..Version: 6.7.4
✓ Crashes every time I try to use itWhen I first started using this, it worked and I had no issues. But then about six months ago, every time I tried to search for a drink or recipe, it would crash. I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it, and I’m still having the same issues. Before writing this review, I tried to email support, but it wasn’t a valid email. Please fix this, it’s very annoying and I’ve had to download other apps that don’t crash..Version: 5.3.1
✓ AvoidUsed to be free now since update pay. Not worth the money.Version: 6.7.4
✓ Great appThis is a great application to have. Everything is perfect, however I think some slight improvements need to be made in the ingredients menu. It is difficult to add ingredients, and it takes ages to scroll through all the alcohol types. If this was made to be like scrolling through the iPhone contact list, then it would be perfect. Also some of the instructions are difficult to understand, as they're not explained too well..Version: 0
✓ Content locked in newer app versions (that previously wasn’t)I’ve had this app for at least five years and when I got a new phone the newer version must have been downloaded that now locks certain drinks and other content behind a subscription/ad barrier. I’ll just use other sources for drink recipes that don’t involve watching ads or paying a subscription fee. This app was truly and completely free for the longest time ever.....Version: 5.9.4
✓ Recipes are great but...When I use the search feature, it closes the app when I try to put in the second word. Very annoying. Also, when this app first came out, there was a Dias version. I paid for that version. I changed phones and for some reason it did not transfer and now there does not seem to be a paid version or no way to restore previous purchases. That’s why only a three..Version: 6.6.8
✓ Used to be goodThis app used to be good when it was free. But now most of the cocktails are locked and need to pay to unlock content. Can find find these on the internet so deleting app..Version: 5.9.4
✓ RubbishCrashes every time.Version: 3.4.4
✓ Started great but now uselessThis had loads of recipes that you could try and make all free but then after an update it all went pear shape and most of the recipes are locked and under a subscription now. I love this app and feel that it’s gone way down in my ratings, charge a one off buying price but not a subscription. Don’t download it.Version: 5.9.4
✓ Good but...Had the same issues as the first comment. Couple of crashes and search didn't work. Just restarted it again and now everything is fine so doesn't look like it's consistent. Good app idea, although a suggestion would be to allow user to search for all drinks with certain type of alcohol. I.e. If I had light rum handy, what could I make with it. Sort the above and you will have a 5 star app.Version: 0
✓ Cattle dogGreat app. Everything at your fingertips. Love the 'shake' feature for a surprise cocktail..Version: 3.4.4
✓ It asked me to review this within the first 10 seconds.Here’s my review of begged for. It’s garbage. You can’t get into the actual app until you put your credit card info in, whether it’s for the 7 day free trial you ultimately have to cancel, or for the ridiculous monthly price. The fact you can compile a bunch of info from google, then proceed to charge people a monthly fee for it is hilarious. If you pay for this, you’re a fool. Just bookmark some drink site and put it on your home screen. I just saved you money and time. If this all it takes to make an app, think it’s time to quit my job..Version: 6.7.4
✓ CrashesUnfortunately did not work on my iPod touch even after restarting and redownloading, thèse problems need URGENT ATTENTION.Version: 0
✓ AdsAdverts and no way to get rid of them. Not as the images show the app in the App Store..Version: 3.4.4
✓ OkNot bad.Version: 3.4.4
✓ Rip off! (Costs more than Netflix!!!Insulting monthly cost for a simple app..Version: 7.3.3
✓ ‘Ingredients’ tab not workingUnable to get the ingredients tab to work on my ipad. Email address for web support doesn’t work. 🤔.Version: 5.3.1
✓ FraudulentStay away from this app! It is called drinks free, but suddenly it isn’t free. I went to get a cocktail ready, opened it up. Then it was suddenly locked. A button appeared to reveal the recipe. The next thing I saw was a receipt for my payment. Deleting it right away Disgusted!.Version: 5.4.7
✓ Ruined by third party advertisingWas good but now unusable..Version: 6.6.8
✓ Lots of potentialLove the idea. Perfect if you are at a party and want to impress. Suggestion: I think this app could benefit if you could search by ingredient. Bug: I'm using 2.2 and the search functionality doesn't work at all.Version: 0
✓ No Longer WorksThis app no longer works on my iPad Pro 9.7” device. NONE of the KAPPBOOM apps work anymore. They all FREEZE. They all have annoying ADVERTISEMENTS. My previous ad-free purchases will *not* restore. All I get with every attempt is a frozen spinning pinwheel..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Scam!It says it’s free but you can even get in the front door without committing to a subscription..Version: 7.1.3
✓ TerribleThe app was totally trashed in the upgrade. $7.50 per month!! Not a chance..Version: 7.1.3
✓ Doesn’t workEvery time I try to type the name of a cocktail ... it closes . Uninstalled.Version: 5.3.1
✓ What I was looking for......but it is missing some key features. Please make it so that we can input the alcohol that we do have on hand, and using that to generate a list of drinks we make from it. Additionally, what ingrdients are most useful to go with what we already have. A good start one the less..Version: 0
✓ Great stuffThis app is awesome, I work on a cafe/bar and have found it extremely useful in finding cocktail recipes that we don't often get asked for!.Version: 0
✓ Good in theory some flawsUpdating again with two suggestions for enhancement: 1) allow for two types of flagging - one to mark true favorites and one to mark things to try later. 2) allow user to add notes to recipes. Thanks. ---------------- Updated review. Still use the app along with a second one that has different shortcomings, even though my previously noted flaw hasn't been fixed. Between the two I can usually accomplish what I want. Another thing that could be improved is the search function. For instance, if I search for "Rob Roy" it returns one recipe for "Rob Roy" whereas the other app returns "Rob Roy", "Perfect Rob Roy", and "Dry Rob Roy". The broader search is much more helpful. I love the way this app is laid out but when I select the 'Ingredients' tab, then choose multiple ingredients and the option only to give me recipes that include ALL ingredients, the search returns many recipes that only have one of the required ingredients, which pretty much defeats the purpose of that option. That was one of the reasons for wanting to use this sort of app. Please fix! Thanks..Version: 3.4.4
✓ Ok for recipes but search is uselessHas loads of drinks recipes but the search part is not working real well, it includes in the results all the drinks which have one of the ingredients you have but will still need more ingredients to make the drink. very frustrating when you include vodka in your list as you get thousands of cocktails using it. It should only bring up results which you actually have the all the ingredients for. Also don't put in Baileys Irish Cream in your ingredients as it causes the app to produce zero results - even if you just put baileys and butterscotch snapps in it still brings zero results Three stars for the recipes but needs the search fixed.Version: 3.0.0
✓ New features would make this app perfectPros: There’s definitely a lot of drink recipes in this app! Several different recipes for some drinks as well because everyone makes the same drink different ways :) It’s easy to search and find drinks. Could be improved: Allowing users to change the ingredients or edit the instructions would be very helpful. As I said above, every bar makes their drinks differently and being able to edit recipes would be great!.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Neat concept but junk appI was inventorying my ingredients when the app flipped into meaningless advertising screens with blonde girls. I was unable to get back to do anything further with the inventory. The app screens are way over blinged to the point it’s irritating to read. I was looking for useful but found broken app that the developers spent too much time coloring and not enough time testing. Removed the app. Don’t waste your time or money. This app is garbage..Version: 7.1.3
