    Brewing with total confidence. The details make the difference between an average batch of home brew and a truly excellent brew that is repeatable. This app is a beer recipe calculator, brew session tracker, and ...
    Easy to use The perfect tool to start building your own homebrew recipes The calculators and brew day interactive feature are big helps too                     Great tool Loyno grad student
    App is a good tool The calculators are handy and I can do with out being able to sync You need a premium subscription for that I would like to see an update that includes a recipe card that would put the whole recipe on one page and a display diastatic power like on the website                 Ok smity51
    I always use this brewing app and I love it The calculators are helpful The recipes and checklist are easy to follow on brew day The records are easy to reference for future batches Great results Highly recommended                     Best Brewing App paulkoob
    From IPA s to Kolchs I like it                     It helps me with everything smkid
    Its nice having a native iPhone app to easily view recipes and calculators from the website However the UI feels dated and could use an update I also think that it should be free to try and use without the website Syncing with the website could easily be an in app purchase         Ok companion to the website SwampThingTom
    This app and its web site counterpart are one of the most up to date brewers apps If it doesn t work for you you shouldn t be make my beer it is that simple Great app much respect to the design team                     Morons hate yuyusoangwy
    It is a great app Great to save recipes and brew sessions I use it all the time on my phone I also have it on my laptop                 Brewer friend Dustin S. Reed
    Wish I had known I had to have a premium account to sync with the app I don t mind paying money for an app I ll use I also wish I could get my money back     Don t bother if you aren t a premium user bassman314
    Does less than half of what you can do through the Brewer s Friend site Desperately needs updating         Stagnant CSPalmisano
    I ve used this app for a number of years Calculators are extremely helpful and I can use it on multiple platforms from my phone to iPad and desktop                     Excellent app JCornbread907
    Well worth it if you re not looking to sync with the web version Build recipes and keep some notes easy enough                 Worth It MG G-Funk
    So it is not enough that you pay 5 for this app Still can t load in recipes from web site unless you also pay 15 there as well Lame Delete Wish I could request my money back         Not enough to pay for this app ByProxy
    Had the free version but wanted to support the creators so shelled out for it Awesome app has improved my brewing and helped dial in my system                     Great app Dugrud
    Does exactly what I want for the price Not as capable as the website but I don t want something that complex I want a streamlined brewing app that I can iterate recipes in and Brewer s Friend does exactly that                     Great streamlined brewing app normyzo
    I ve been brewing successfully for over four decades and have used various methods to formulate recipes and track results This app has been my best brewing friend ever My results are 100 satisfactory and I ve learned a lot                     Satisfied Customer The Bobster45
    It would be great to be able to merge the online UI with this product or to be able to move over the recipes I have in the free version which I ve had to keep on my phone but it basically does the job with good calculators and a broad database of malts hops and yeasts                 Great brewing software zackity
    This app is useful for working on recipes when inspiration strikes and is very helpful on brew day                     Helpful tool user726024
    This app is quite helpful when making recipes It calculates ABV IBU OG target FG Also helps you know if your recipe is true to the style you re aiming for                     5 well spent Rekcebgiarc
    I love the Brewer s Friend website and use it for all my recipe creation inventory management and brew sessions Unfortunately the app falls far short of the standard set by the website The absence of inventory shopping functions is especially galling since the store is one of the places you re most likely to have your phone rather than laptop The inability to sort brew sessions or hide completed ones is a pain as is the inclusion of every single snapshot in the recipe list especially since they re not differentiated in any way With a few tweaks this could be a real help as it is it s only marginally useful             So close and yet so far btbnl
    I ve been brewing for a few years started with extract bottles now with all grain and kegs this app will teach u how to brew better beer if u are like me I love and only brew session IPA and the hopping category is geared for hoppy Brewers I always formulate recipes with this app since its on my phone and not the pc It s real time data in my fingertips on brew day                     Awesome app P.B.K
    Great little app for your phone to have on brew day                     Great brewing app handy JPedders
    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                     GREAT FLICKING APP SuperLimLLC
    The fact that this won t sync unless you shell out an additional 15 per year is a rip off Additionally the UI is at least 4 generations old This is a glorified WebKit app for 5 It s not worth it just use your free account and a laptop I like the features of this app but it shouldn t cost over 1 99 I would not have bought it had I known             Weak UI cost is BS Gavin Hawkins
    Excellent app does what I need it to do                     Excellent app does what I need it to do TasunkaWitko
    This is my go to app for doing homebrew recipes and planning brew sessions I recommend this app to all of my homebrewer friends Highly recommended                     Excellent brewing app bajp19
    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                 Fantastic and Robust Winer_49er
    Great app                     Love it Pelone75
    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         A Waste w o Premium Membership Histdrew
    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             Badly needs updated Singmiller
                        .jkm???$
    Very well done                     Great App Anonymo245
    It s 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                     Great App PookieDog72
    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             No Inventory or Shopping List GT500SC
    The best brewing software package I ve used Sync between web and app versions is seamless Calculations are right on Good note tracking features Highly recommended                     Great brewing software Likes to Bike
    No need to write your recipes down anymore put them in on the computer or your phone and go from there                 A must have for brewers
    Awesome app I love to find new recipes and match the grains and malts so I can have what the ale I love brewing ales and gravity to match to and look It telling me in the brew when to add malts hops and honey is a big help Love it And you will to                 Mr
    Useful but having Snapshot Recipes and regular recipes on the same tab is annoying Just using a camera icon doesnt cut it Especially if I have many snapshots of one recipe Instead of snapshots just use brew dates or batch codes or a separate tab for snapshots              Great app
    Had the free version but wanted to support the creators so shelled out for it Awesome app has improved my brewing and helped dial in my system                 Great app
    This app is awesome AWESOME Right on my phone I now have access to a variety of incredibly useful tools and calculators and the ability to save and edit all my recipes In addition the Brew Session feature is great to keep track of all the steps and additions on brew day I also like the user interface on the app a lot better than the website and also unlike the website I can use and save an unlimited number of recipes and brew sessions without a subscription The app is a little pricey but ohso totally worth it                 Most Useful Tool in My Home Brewery
    Great app to have on your phone when brewing Quick calculations for hydrometer temp dilution and abv Great for coming up with new recipes when away from a computer                 I use this app all the time
    Ive used others and they have value but this app is the best Ive come across I use it for almost everything I do in terms of beer recipe design on brew day The full version is worth every penny                 Dont brew without this app
    Use it every time I brew Wish cloud sync was available without an extra fee since I am already paying for this app                 Great app
    I just downloaded the iOS app and entered my first recipe The first problem is when I select my yeast in ingredients there is no apparent way to save it I also would like to have a way to see all the recipe data on one screen It would also be nice to be able to print it I am also dismayed that by buying the app I was not automatically registered on the website forum etc without paying AGAIN I like the calculations logging and notes           Apparent Glitches
    The default app you should have to home brew Very easy to use                 Home brewing essential
    Not worth the money I guess I didnt get the app the other people got that rated it so highly        Brewers friend
    I particularly like Beer XML and capability to download recipes                 Has all the tools I need
    A calendar would be nice to track fermentationconditioningpackaging dates              Calendar
    Ive used this app for a few months now and it worked fine Now I have a problem that keeps recurring and it is impossible to get an answer They want you to contact them through their forum and then they do not respond I cant recall ever getting an update either           Good app until you have a problem
    Ive used the website for three brews now and its a great site for recipe building and brewing The app leaves something to be desired Not all of the functionality from the site is there and for a required subscription service I expect a lot more           Good tool but still needs work
    BrewersFriend wins The Smith is ubiquitous and it does everything youd want but it not as user friendly The Friend is easier I spent the 899 after forking out 999 for Smith Dont waste the 999                 BrewersFriend vs BeerSmith2
    I havent even brewed my first batch and Im already very impressed by this app                 Great stiff
    Rating is for the upgrade not the app Here cloud means synch to a brewers friend premium account Perhaps what some want but disappointing to buy an app and have a key upgrade require you to buy an online account even if all you want is to synch your iPhone and iPod recipes and perhaps print your recipe on brew day At a minimum there should be iTunes synch and recipelog backup and exportimport as part of the app I hope this app isnt heading toward being a front end for the premium account Buy the app and then pay for the premium account to get basic functionality     Cloud misleading
    Spent the 9 hoping to get all the added features like syncing with other recipes and devices Nope still only a trial run of their monthly service you need to pay for This just gets you to delete your batches Thanks so much for barely anything        Paid the money Oh wait need to pay more money
    This app is phenomenal The developer has gone out of their way to make this one of the most functional and all inclusive brewing apps available                 Awesome brewing app
    Nice looking app but it doesnt integrate with the recipes I already entered on the website and it doesnt do any changes to current brew sessions in the cloud Ill just use a web browser        No web integration
    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 app but
    Love the app and all the new features they are adding Couldnt brew the same way without it              Awesome
    Upgrade ASAP its well worth it                 Love it
    The app is much faster than the mobile web version of Brewers Friend Im able to tweak recipes quickly and easily making real choices based on the apps feedback on the final beer Ive converted partial mash recipes to all grain without any hassle and changed ingredients on the fly I dont have a premium account so I havent tested synchronizing with the website but I dont know if that needed as the app is pretty good              Helpful Brewers App
    Awesome app Great to save recipes and brew sessions saved              Brewer friend
    Yeah I have a bone to pick Cloud sync Dont think so you people need to look up the use if the term cloud because your app while nice in some respects does NOT sync with anything unless you pay some ridiculous fee to a website that isnt even maintained     App doesnt support syncing and hasnt been updatedbe aware
    This is a must have app for any homebrewer who likes to create and save recipes on the fly Brewers friend is by far the most user friendly brewing software available today Only critique is there is no way to delete recipes that you have saved                 Must have brewers app
    Agree with a previous reviewer that it would be nice to be able to copy a recipe within the app to allow modification while retaining the original recipe Also sync seems to have some issues from time to time when modifying a recipe on both a computer and iPhone Overall a great app              Great app
    I was hoping the app would have the same great calcs as their website but there are actually fewer The last update was 2013 per their website if that tells you anything The best thing is the ability to store recipes something Apple notes does as well        Website is better
    This app is great The IBU calculation seems a little high at times but that could just be because my hops varieties are on the lower end of alpha acid content My one big complaint is that you cant make a copy of a recipe in order to change part of but not all of a recipe so you either tweak the recipe and hope you have the old recipe written down or you reinput EVERYTHING and add your changes                 Helpful app
    Great app Love the ease of tweaking recipes on my phone whenever ideas come to me Worth every penny if youre serious about your beer                 Awesome
    Perfect app for homebrewers If youre getting started and beersmith seems intimidating this app is for you I love how easy it is to tweak recipes                 Great homebrew app
    I find this app to be one of the best out there I have used others and this one is more user friendly than the others                 Best out there
    This application is pretty awckward to use If i had of known I would not habe purchased it        Not Too easy to Edit
    The latest version just bombed out immediately on my iPhone but after updating to iOS 83 it works great on the iPhone and on the iPad Probably the most intuitive brewing software I have used                 Now it works
    Great to keep track of my brews Calculations seem to help reaching my goals on taste It appears the colors are darker then I projected              Great tool
    Updating my earlier review As Ive been using the brewersfriend site for a while now I was very excited to see this hit the app store along with new features on the website Initially the lack of sync with the brewersfriend site was a problem Now each release seems to be bringing the app closer to a matched feature set with the site Yes I upgrade my acct on the site to premium before the iOS app came out so was ready for it when sync support happened It is very nice to be able to at least see my recipes and brew sessions now but theres still some bugs and room to grow That said Ive upgraded my review by a star because it looks like this app is going to keep getting better           Getting better with each release
    This a great app They did a nice job with the interface and ease of use I used beersmith for a bit but I found this one more user friendly and intuitive However if you want to use the sync feature not only do you have to buy the app you must pay 999 a year for an online subscription This price is not clearly stated within the app upgrade info or app description Only says premium account required which is easy to miss without a sign next to it or a paid tag next to it Thats not so much money but I feel like it needs to be more clearly stated that you pay twice for full functionality A good stand alone app otherwise           Great app but be aware of extra costs
    I no longer keep manual journal for recipes notes brew logs etc It is all right here in one awesome app Thank you                 Great place to keep all files
    Brewers Friend website has all kinds of calculators but the app does not Why not I was expecting to see strike water calculators priming sugar calculators etc Currently you have to go the website use the calculators then feed the numbers into your recipe builder           Needs the calculators
    App works well with full version on computer Would be great to have a ingredient shopping list for recipes created as well as ingredients on hand inventory Keep the updates coming Recommend this app                 Nice app
    This is the app that I use to brew all the time I love how easy everything is to setup and brew It has a ton of features that allow me to really have fun and keep my beers flowing Has a few minor bugs from time to time One that really sucked was I switched from the app to XM Radio to stream it When I went back to the app the timer had reset so I had to adjust my timers for how long was left for the boil I always keep two clocks The only thing it seems that this app wont do is brew the beer for me                 What more could you ask for
    This app is useful for working on recipes when inspiration strikes and is very helpful on brew day                 Helpful tool
    I have found this app to be easy to use accurate and very useful It has settings for all brewing styles and TONS of ingredients If you are new to home brewing or very experienced this app is for you                 Very Useful
    Not a bad app It seems to be good for writing and saving recipes It is really good at keeping track of what stages your brews are in from planning to gone and several stages in between Theres plenty of places to keep detailed notes on different brews Brew day is a little frustrating as the built in timers disappear if you switch apps while using the timers like checking email or Facebook If the app stops running in the background when youre using the timers you wont be able to get back to the active timer You will still get a notification when its time to add hops etc but you wont be able to see for yourself how much time is left           Adequate
    Ive used all the major brewery calculator programs over the years Recently BeerSmith2 was my favorite But since Im going pro and need calculations for up to 10BBL 315 gallons this program exceeds everything else Buy this and the additional Yeast Starter program too There is a HUGE difference in calculation real brewer needs VS a 55 gallon batch and this program will do everything Wish I bought this before                 Excellent for NanoBrewers
    Im able to create recipes quickly and easily and look them up while at the brew store I can also tweak them on the fly depending on which malts hops and yeast are available                 Good app
    You can sync and get your recipes and brew sessions on any device But you can just as easily link to their web site from any device where for a separate fee you have access to the full range of resources including various calculators and recipe searches Which is more usefulso I have no actual need for this app so it was a waste of money           Not fully functional
    The ability to sync up to recipes use the timer and access recipes makes this app great                 Great tool
