Cocktail Flow App Reviews

Dont put cocktails i could easily google behind a paywall. Thats just annoying

$5 a month for what used to be free? No thanks

I would happily pay a one time fee for this app. Paying for the quality and ease of use would be well worth it. But $4 a month or $20 a year makes no sense when I can just go buy a $10 drinks book and never have to pay again.

Pretty cool app

Was having a blast trying new cocktails every week with this app. Unfortunately, the new update wants you to pay a ridiculous price to see the majority of the recipes now. Guess I’m back to looking cocktails up online. Would have gladly paid in the beginning for the app but not $5 month

Set all my liquors up with the assistant, but it’s recommending many drinks with ingredients I don’t even have. This was the killer feature when it launched! Now they want a subscription investment in what is just a “pretty database” which no longer works.

Was great before update but now you need to buy a subscription to get a full list of drinks. Can get info for free anywhere but nice to have it all in one place. However $20 a year is a complete rip off. I’d pay $20 once maybe as it is a nice app but the information is available for free anywhere if you go looking.

Terrible new update paid subscription!!!

The app used to have all the recipes viewable but now you need to pay to view most of them. I am deleting the app because I can look online for a recipe for free.

I used to love this app until they introduced the subscription and now recipes i even had favorited are behind a paywall! Incredibly unfortunate because the app is extremely well put together. I would much rather have an ad supported version than subscriptions. I would easily pay 15-30$ for this app upfront instead! If your on the old version don’t upgrade!!!

I had this app for over a year and loved it. Then they added a new premium feature which forced me to pay for what I already had. I really enjoyed this app while it lasted and would have preferred some ads opposed to a subscription.

Nicer when app was free.

Does this app really warrant a subscription model? Bad choice. Won’t be using this app anymore.

I used to like this app a lot as a starting point for drinks but with the recent addition of a paid subscription to view recipes I previously could see for free, I had to delete the app. It turned into an app I didn’t like using or even want to

I thought this would be a fun app to download to get for having people over for drinks, it used to be great. Now they’ve added a premium membership to see anything beyond your most basic of drinks.

How many cocktails could possibly be continually invented that I would need to pay $3/mo or $20/yr? I would definitely pay $20 once because it’s a well designed app so 4 stars.

From the comments it sounds like they removed drink recipes unless you pay 5 per month for them.

It used to be a five star app before the last update which removed a lot of content behind a subscription pay wall. $4 a month for stuff you can get elsewhere for free (or, gasp, buy a cocktail book!) It should be like a one time $5.

Any cocktail app that has an Aviation in the classic recipe section with a photo of a purple drink, but no creme de violette in the actual recipe, isn’t worth my time. Not to mention it calls for gin rather than London dry gin? Basically terrorists.

Paid for the premium content but lost some of my old favorites. Bar function does not work properly based on your inventory.

I used to absolutely love this app and used it everyday. Not anymore. With the recent update a lot of the recipes that were there before are now gone. I miss the “search for anything” option. Being able to search on an ingredient was one of the options I used a lot. A lot of things it used to do and have it no longer does even with a paid subscription. Wish I had not bought it. If any of the developers are reading this, is there anyway I can get a refund? Probably not. After this review, I’m off to find another app. There has to be another one in the App Store that is better than this.

So with Cocktail Flow’s latest version the developers want you to subscribe. Nothing wrong with that, in theory. But now, unless you subscribe, you won’t have access to a number of the recipes which were previously in the app! My daughter’s favorite - the alcohol-free Designated Appletini - gone! French Gimlet - bye-bye! And that’s just what I noticed after 30 seconds. This app never had that big a selection of cocktails... and now it’s even smaller. Yeah, that’s gonna encourage me to give these guys 5 bucks a month. You should probably look elsewhere at this point. There are much better-known cocktail apps containing significantly more recipes which only ask you to pay once - go with one of those.

It is very disappointing that these type of drinks were removed :(. Apart from that I still love the app.

Update introduces premium (paid) option. Some recipes are free, most require subscription. They say more recipes were added, but many that were available previously are now blocked under the premium subscription. This FREE app is now less useful. New interface is also more complicated than last.

Recently updated the app to the new version. My lounge is now assistant. Before the upgrade the app listed dozens of drinks that I had the ingredients to make, now it lists only 4.

Great recipes and easy to use.
