Make Me A Cocktail 17+

Incredible potential, a few really annoying things to change

First off the potential of this app is huge. Getting into cocktails can be hugely overwhelming and this app helps by letting you know what you can make with what you have. But a few things to change. It’s very annoying that, say when I’m making a cocktail and my phone goes to sleep, when I pop back into the app it resets to the homepage and you have to find the cocktail you were making again. Hopefully you remember the name of it. Also I would really like to save my preference of measurement. Again every time you have to go back into the app it resets your preference to ml. I’d like to save it as ounces but it seems you can’t. Other than those 2 minor things this app is great. I can’t wait to continue using it for myself and guests

Enjoyable app marred by loud ads

Wife and I are starting to explore cocktails and this app is an informative and fun way to learn and expand as the home bar grows.

But…the ads have become obnoxious (loud).
I don’t mind the occasional ad, especially if they’re short or easily closed. However there are now ads that pop up with loud audio and there isn’t a global mute option. You have to scramble to try to find a mute or close button for each ad as the app blares throughout the room. That I don’t like. Greatly limits where and when I can feel comfortable using the app.

Developer Response ,

Qwxilvr, hey sorry about this. The ads are the only way we make any money from the app, but we totally appreciate they are annoying and obnoxious at times. We dont control the ads at all, the music / volume etc etc, so cant do much about it. We're investigating a paid non-ad version in the future which may help ....

odd measurement conversions listed ounces

this app has a lot of potential and I’m struggling between 2 and 3 stars bc it’s unusable for me atm but with some simple fixes it would easily take off in popularity and rating so I’m going to rate it a 3!

prob most annoying is the fact that every time you search for a drink you are forced to re-adjust the measurement unit (always initializes in ml). for gods sake please try creating a user side constant or try assigning with ‘this.’ try something though it really shouldn’t be that difficult to fix this :(

also I don’t know any bartenders that are measuring in 1/3oz and 2/3oz increments which is what the app seems to like to suggest. most of us use a 4 count free hand pour system where counting to 1 = 1/4 oz and so fourth moving up in 1/4 increments on each count of the pour. maybe just call a function that is designed to adjust ingredients to the 1/4oz scale while maintaining recipe ratios and/or adjusting certain ingredients up or down based on their type - liquor vs liqueur vs syrup/juice etc. I’m not sure how the conversion is taking place but it should be able to be adjusted at the same level/place at least.

hope development still underway and things improve in the future!
