Mixologist Drink Cocktail Recipes App Reviews

Far from comprehensive, and gives non alcoholic drink recipes! Banana, milk and ice blended, is not a cocktail.

The Custm Drinks feature is a great idea but not user friendly and constantly crashes.

The ability to enter a custom ingredient was removed from the application and no support is available from developer. Very frustrating!

I’ve had this app for years and I’ve never been disappointed.

I got this app to log a list of ingredients I have in my home bar. It does this fairly well. You can then have the app kick out a list of drinks you can make from your ingredients. It does this fairly well. Unfortunately the app will not allow you to filter the drinks that were output from your ingredients. For example, if you are only looking to do shot, you’ll have to scroll through the entire output list which is ordered alphabetically. There is a little “drink type” icon, but it would be much better to be able to sort by type.

Love the app! Use it often. I only wish there was a way of keeping track of the drinks you’ve tried that you weren’t too crazy about. I know there is a ❤️ option to mark and remember the drinks you love, but I would also like to personally mark the concoctions I didn’t like to avoid accidentally making them again.

Doesn’t have many liquors found in bars, update your stock. Doesn’t have up to date drinks and shots. And change the featured drinks on the front page. Have you done anything to this app in the past year? I paid for this I expect the admin to pay a little more attention to it.

This app should be removed from the App Store due to non-supported app by developers. The app no longer looks like the screenshots displayed in the App Store. It just displays empty glasses with recipes. It is not worth any $$ that the developers ask for What ever they did on their last update, did not do much of anything. It still crashes when syncing You were warned....

I love this app. I’m a fairly new bartender so this is the first app that I go to for reference but there are a few things that I think would make it a little better. A filing system of some sort for our favorite recipes The option to edit the recipes in the app to the recipe that we use (only in our app) Fix the crashing Possibly photos of the drinks Maybe add subs for some of the liquors/liqueurs that are extremely difficult to find or are indigenous to certain countries or regions Mnemonics for drinks (if you know them) I think people would pay for the upgrade if these {even some of} options were offered. I would create an app with these things but this one exists and is already so close!!!

This is a great app to have for a career bartender that needs that quick reference! It’s got just a lot of neat things!

You can’t add ingredients or it is not obvious or written anywhere on how to do so. There are tons of bottles and bitters out there. Extremely presumptuous to force everyone to use a non editable data set. If a recipe calls for Buffalo Trace whiskey then I want to be able to write it in the app... Don’t use the word “custom” if the feature is not really custom. It’s a pretty app but a little frustrating to be calling itself “Mixologist”.

You should be able to edit drinks on the list.

The app has a great feature to identify what you have in your liquor cabinet but the list is limited and I found no way to add more items. I got this app because of the save custom recipe feature. But it would be so much better if we could start by modifying and renaming an existing recipe instead of always starting from scratch.

Used to be a good App, now every time you try to edit an old recipe it crashes. Every. Single. Time! Has become aggravating and useless.

I use the custom feature for signature drinks at a couple bars I work at. That's why I bought the app. BUT 1) it crashes every time I add a custom ingredient not in the apps library. Liquor, juice, puree.. 2) Custom drinks won't allow you to rearrange order, once you input, so you have to erase all ingredients if you want to change the order of ingredients. 3) I decided after I entered the drinks to add bar name in front of custom drinks so they grouped alphabetically. But when editing, it erases the whole name instead of allowing you to add to it. SO, the app has great promise, but falls short. It's very cumbersome it enter custom drinks and even a bigger pain to edit or update them! Finally, it seems you can't share, export or backup drinks I've entered.

Keeps popping up the app won't be supported because this has never been updated!!! If the developer doesn't update this, then we'll lose everything!!!!!!!!

I have tried 5 times to create an account so that I can define my supplies and enter custom drinks and each time I get an error. Contacted support both via the app and via their website and nobody responded in any form.

This is a great app, but somewhere along the way it lost all of my favorites and my custom drinks. I have since re-added them, but it sucked. I’m glad they updated it though to 64-bit!

This app has potential to be the greatest drink/liquor/liqueur/bar apps in the App Store. Being someone who is the the food/drink operation I can see this. The app needs fixing, when you pay that extra dollar for the custom drinks feature there's a problem with creating an account! It keeps telling me, Opps something timed out, try again!" I paid that little extra for this feature and it needs to be fixed. The app also needs a facelift from the old fashioned black and silver combo to something fresh and cleaner! Something to represent the bars and mixology places of today! It needs to be improved with adding features also like the garnishes or bitters. There are so many bitters to use and they only have a small handful, make it so we can just write our own into the app. It would be great if it went into more detail about the ingredients (How are they made? What are they made with? What is their flavor/aroma profile? What are common/classic cocktails from this base? The history behind it?) Talk more about the glasses to and what they're design is best for with what cocktails? The mixology/bar scene changes so often and it needs an app to reflect those changes! This app needs to follow suit to those changes and freshen up with more cocktails, more info, and more ingredients!

Why isn't this App getting update support?? iOS now shows, "This App will not work with future updates." What a shame. I like this App. I like the "In My Bar" portion. Input what you have and recipes to match are given.

Hello I hope you will update this app as Apple says it will not work on ios 11. I am currently running ios 10.3.1. I love the app and hope you will continue to support it. Sent from Michael's iPhone 6s Plus

This has gotten sooo much better...

Great app but be warned this app is on the Apple chopping block. It has not been updated since 2014 and when you load it Apple warns you it will not work with future versions of iOS. Also there are lots of ingredients missing. Example. Grand Marnier isn't in the database so if you don't know you can use triple sec or Cointreau instead then you won't get the ideas you are looking for. These things aside, it's my favorite mixing app!

Need some work and upgrades. Support is lacking and most offline and update able features don't work now.

Very educational, informational, entertaining, and infinitely useful.

The images in the detail section are nothing like what the real app is. No images of drinks, some category's are blank, slows your phone down, crashes. WHAT A TERRIBLE APP. WASTE OF MONEY!

What happened to the share button?

Love the app. Love the liquor cabinet section. Would like to search functionality in the liquor cabinet section please.

I have been using this app for about 4 years. Recently got signed from the app and when I tried to log back, it said user did not exist. Emailed 4 times w/ no response. Can no longer find my custom drinks and have lost all the add on's l purchased.

Great app.

Great app, have been using it for over a year. Needs updating according to Apple. Last update was in 2014. Developer needs to orate to continue to work with latest iOS. I assume that means with upcoming iOS 11 this app will stop working.

Glad the interface has been updated and is back online.

Very helpful app

I just got a notice from Apple that the current version will not be supported by future iOS versions. Love the app and want to be able to use it forever.

Good app although I have settled down and don't have the need for it as I one did.

It won't allow me to sign in to open an account. Add-ons won't open. No one has responded to my email asking about the problems. And for this, I feel, I wasted a dollar. I will post another review if anything changes.

I'm being told by IOS they are dropping because it hasn't been updated. I like this app especially the dice.

I purchased this app two years ago and have loved it ever since, however something has gone wrong. I have been unable to contact anyone for the past two months to ha e my user name and password reset. I have also been unable to save any of my recipes.

This app has not been updated in nearly 3 years, and is soon to be inoperable with iOS 11. Is there still anybody around? It would be a pretty nice app, if it got some love, and a refresh.

Update: The developer has not touched this app in 3 years and now it is about to be obsolete. Time to find something new and better. Suggestions anyone? Earlier review: Best Cocktail app for the price, so far. Cabinet feature is good but needs a few more choices when it comes to specialty liquors (St. Germain!). One gotcha, you can do a search against your cabinet and see all the drinks you can make. OK cool, but you end up with a potentially massive list to wade through. Would be great if you could then filter the list from there. For example, I know I want to make a vodka-based martini of some kind, show me just those options. Also too much reliance on brand names. You cannot just search or sort on "Vodka", you have to pick Absolut, or Grey Goose or others. Makes finding all options difficult. Still - those are the only negatives and I hope they will be addressed. This is a great app and with a few tweaks, will be worth an even higher price. A no-brainer at 99 cents.

New bartenders must download this app!

The app needs to be badly updated.

This app needs some major updates and you can't make an account to save all your info because it won't cooperate with the OS. This would seriously take 30 minutes for them to fix but they haven't updated the app in years. Give us something worth the money!

Probably the most comprehensive drink mixing app available but I wish it was updated for iOS 10 for the iPhone 6S. Please update and don't abandon your customers.

Nice update! I have been waiting for an update and it is here. Owned this app for years and love it. To previous reviewer you go to Settings for instructions on how to share a drink.

Needs to be updated to work with new versions of iOS.

Lord Calvert isn't even mentioned. Otherwise please keep this app updated so I/we can enjoy this for years to come.

Excellent app. Great database and terrific functionality.

Good app, like the custom feature.

Love the app. So easy to find the drink you desire very quickly.

Needs a little bit of a facelift. Even favoriting a drink looks old and is tough to tell if it's favorited or not. Also please update for the new OS, would hate to lose this app!

I use the custom feature for signature drinks at a couple bars I work at. That's why I bought the app. BUT 1) it crashes every time I add a custom ingredient not in the apps library. Liquor, juice, puree.. 2) Custom drinks won't allow you to rearrange order, once you input, so you have to erase all ingredients if you want to change the order of ingredients. 3) I decided after I entered the drinks to add bar name in front of custom drinks so they grouped alphabetically. But when editing, it erases the whole name instead of allowing you to add to it. SO, the app has great promise, but falls short. It's very cumbersome it enter custom drinks and even a bigger pain to edit or update them! Finally, it seems you can't share, export or backup drinks I've entered.

Somehow with the latest update the option to add specific custom ingredients that are not already listed was removed...

Yes they have lots of drinks but a ton of the most popular drinks that get ordered at my bar are not in here. The app does not have a search by drink name feature so it takes forever to scroll through all the drinks.

I love this app and have been using it for years, but it really needs an updated look. I feel like I’m using an iPhone 4 when I see the app interface.

I’ve enjoyed the free version for a while and decided to upgrade so that I could add custom drinks. Unfortunately, it does not seem possible to add custom ingredients (or is not clear how to do so), and deleting an ingredient for a custom recipe causes the app to crash every time. Based on this experience, I would recommend sticking with the free version - it is not worth paying a dollar for a version of the app that crashes when you try to use the extra paid features.
