Message tbopslt beers 354 º 15:30 Mon 1/6/2014 Just discovered this app while updating my iphone. I have been using beer buddy. Any advantages/disadvantages to either app? To be honest, I thought Beer Buddy was affiliated with Rate Beer. Thanks!
Message BMMillsy beers 1788 º places 120 º 17:38 Mon 1/6/2014 I use Beer Buddy and it works great. Have not tried the official RB app, but I can edit my cellar and rate and search just fine through Beer Buddy. Only issue is I can’t get it to work with my Inbox at all.
Message Ed5388 beers 3492 º places 87 º 18:55 Mon 1/6/2014 I bought both. RB app had some issues but recent updates correct a lot of them, however I still find myself using beerbuddy more. I think just cause I'm used to it. Both Apps still have some bugs to be worked out IMO, but both work well.

Message fiulijn P beers 28318 º places 745 º 19:02 Mon 1/6/2014 One big improvement for me is that now it manages to download on the phone my 13000 ratings and I can have them offline I still have to explore the other functionalities...
Message rennat42 P beers 5357 º places 205 º 19:18 Mon 1/6/2014 I’ve actually found BrewGene to be my favorite beer rating phone app for when I am on the go. Then i just transfer everything on here when I can be on a computer.

Not everybody is going to have your "problems", Alex.
Message Ed5388 beers 3492 º places 87 º 20:13 Mon 1/6/2014 Originally posted by HuskerTan I’ve actually found BrewGene to be my favorite beer rating phone app for when I am on the go. Then i just transfer everything on here when I can be on a computer. I used to use brewgene also but a lot of beers weren’t added or had wrong info. The rating system was easy, but then I realized I can just use the ticking system on RateBeer. Same concept. Now I tick the beer on RateBeer and it’s all saved under the same app. Plus you can just click on your tick and it brings you to the beer to rate it. So much easier then going back and forth between two apps IMO.

Message stumpyiliz beers 218 º places 7 º 20:34 Mon 1/6/2014 Ratebeer. It’s free, beer buddy doesn’t work on my phone only if ratebeer doesn’t work on my phone. So why buy a beer buddy when ratebeer is free?
Message Thehin places 1 º 00:38 Tue 1/7/2014 The most significant difference between Beer Buddy and RateBeer is the integration of social features within the RateBeer app. The RateBeer app allows you to follow your friends on RateBeer and instantly get notified, via push notifications, when a friend has rated a new beer, added a new beer, rated a place, and updated their status. Also, the new RateBeer app allows you to add custom lists for saving beers to. There is also more social media integration for sharing beers and ratings to Facebook and Twitter. The RateBeer app also shows you which glasses to serve in as well as other suggested beers for the beer you are viewing. Cheers
