Message jimmie65 beers 330 º places 29 º 08:14 Fri 6/15/2012 One suggestion - can you enable an opt-out for notifications of beermail? (Maybe it’s in there already?) I was plugging in several beer and place ratings from a recent vacation and kept getting a notification on my phone that I had new beermail. Rather annoying.
Message JMerritt places 72 º 08:15 Fri 6/15/2012 Originally posted by TooManyBeers I’m not one to sugar coat the truth. Just saying. Opinion doesn’t equal truth. Leave him feedback via the appstore.
Message TooManyBeers beers 2 º 08:22 Fri 6/15/2012 Maybe not but when the app limits functionality vs just going to the website then it’s clearly not as good.

That’s almost a feature request... What would you consider too limiting? Indeed the app does not (and does not pretend to) replicate the full feature set of the website. Personally (and I know lots of others) find a native app easier to use, especially when quickly searching beers or rating. Would some specific feature make the app ’suck less’ for you?

Yes, give him a clear example of what you would like to be different instead of just being an ass. The app is amazing for what it does - browsing beers, rating, looking at brewer pages, and so on. If you don’t like it, go to the website, that’s fine - nothing comes of bitching about it here, especially since you are giving no criticisms or suggestions. Personally, I find zooming in and out, typing things in, clicking on links, and all of that eight billion times more annoying on the website as opposed to using the app where it’s all zoomed and uses buttons (of sorts).

Message erickok beers 6033 º places 274 º 01:59 Sat 6/16/2012 And the app just got featured in the Android Play Store. Yah! Expect some surge in traffic and perhaps even new users, Joe.

I have looked through every menu, including the "manage apps" menu. Menu > Sign Out. Then sign back in with the new password. :) Thanks; I do not know how many times I looked right past "Sign Out" because it is greyed out by default.
