I have aired my frustrations with both apps on here before, but I wouldn’t realy recommend them. BeerBuddy works most of the time, but it has some bugs and nothing is being done to fix them. And you can’t add availability info, add new beers and a few other things are missing.

My main problem with it is that you have to pay for it, but it’s just a half-finished product. It could also use a better layout.

After trying both apps and being frustrated I just ended up using the site on Safari.

Some of my friends tried the app and just switched to Untappd because that app actualy works well. These apps I think are really a missed opportunity for Ratebeer to get more members.

yeah you pay for it, but it’s 3.99 i mean you probbaly spend twice as much without flinching on a beer and that’s a one time buy

I only use the barcode scanner and the search function of the app and enter any data through the web site using the browser.

Whatever you do, if you get Beer Buddy for iPhone, change your signature. Never once was there one good review written that ends w/ the defautl Beer Buddy signature.

One of the bugs is that you can’t change the signature...

Well, 3.99 for something that doesn’t work is too much for me

But I think the most annoying thing about is that it makes the site look like some kind of semi-scam that just wants to make a quick buck.

Agreed, both apps are crap. I also use Safari. I know so many people that use Untappd that have never even heard of Ratebeer, if only the site had a good app.

I use beer buddy but mostly just to have an offline list of what I have rated. I do anything significant in the browser and do my ratings offline in Notepad.
