Brewer's Friend Legacy App Reviews

73 add

Has all the tools I need

I particularly like Beer XML and capability to download recipes.

Great app but..

I use this app every brewday. I dont like the fact that I have to buy the premium version AND the desktop version to use all the features. I would rather pay a blended price for both. That said, the app is great and the support is even better.

Great BeerSmith Alternative

Does most BeerSmith functions

Leaves one wishing for more.

The features are well thought out but a $7 app should be more compatible to other available apps and have the ability to search recipes and sync data regardless of your membership level. Add that to the fact that youll have to fork out another $3 for a yeast pitch rate and calculator app, you will likely lean towards an app like Beer Smith that offers more and then some.

Great purchase

For just a few dollars, you can have a great program that helps you to track and record your brews. While it is not the absolute end all be all, it is definitely a great start. After all, a little math has never hurt anyone (assuming you were born AFTER the enlightenment period). Cheers.

Great brewing software!

The best brewing software package Ive used. Sync between web and app versions is seamless. Calculations are right on. Good note tracking features. Highly recommended!

No Inventory or Shopping List

I am a premium member and heavy user of Brewer’s Friend web site. The most disappointing thing about this app is the lack of the Shopping List and Inventory features available on the full web site. The whole point of a mobile app is for use when you’re away from a full computer, like when you’re shopping for your next brew session, when you need the shopping and inventory lists at hand. As it is now, I have to pull up the web site on my phone, obviating the need for a paid mobile app. Please add these features to make the mobile app worth the cost!

Great App

Its nice to have this in my phone when discussing my recipes with friends or knowing what I have going on with my brews and what stage they are in. Would be nice to have the shopping list on it.

Fantastic and Robust

A really great app that helps you to create your own great beer recipes and helps out on brew day keeping everything straight. Very intuitive design and easy to use. Only thing I wish it did was give you the options to print your recipe or post it online to a social media outlet. You can link to their website but their website is a paid user subscription based page.

Great App

Very well done

Badly needs updated

I am a premium member and heavy user of Brewers Friend, as other reviewers have also said. I have tried to leave feedback on the web page, but have not received a response. This app needs to be updated: - Beer styles need to be the same as the web page, which has been updated to conform to the 2015 Guidelines. At this point, new styles are mis-identified when recipes are synced to this app. - This app needs to allow users to sync to their inventory and shopping lists. - In my opinion, this app should include the yeast starter app, rather than having to purchase it separately.

A Waste w/o Premium Membership

The app seems flexible enough, but at $6 it should have more features without requiring an additional $15 *yearly* fee for the premium web version.

GREAT FLICKING APP!

SG calcs are pretty good. I love the ability to calc IBU for your recipe. And it will tell you how close your recipe specs match against styles along with estimated alcohol levels. The cost is negligible compared to brewing a 5 gal batch of beer.
