Mass Craft Beer

I wanted to like this, but - it's trying to do a lot of things, and not doing most of them well. 1. The "rotation" - which would be helpful using the maps - doesn't work. 2. The app REQUIRES you to enable location services to use the map. From a privacy perspective I resent that, and frankly it's an obstacle if I want to consider a brewery that's not nearby. 3. When you get to a list of breweries, there's no link to the breweries' own web pages. 4. If you select a brewery - Surprise! - you have to create a MBG account and sign in. I don't want to leave the app to get info. So I'm disappointed. I'll probably leave it on my phone to see if it improves in the near future, but the app fails to deliver on its promise. Update! I got a “We've made updates - please re-rate us!” message from the developer. If they have, I can’t tell - the four things I said I didn’t like are still issues, so I’m not sure what they updated. Well, they’ve had a second chance to make a good first impression and they failed. My rating is now “don't bother with this app”. Deleting it from my phone; not seeing a third chance for them when they ignored my prior feedback.

I'm so glad to have this app. I have a craft beer passport from another state but it's a paper one so I have to remember to bring it every time I visit the state. That being said, the stamping feature in the app does need some work. I have been sitting inside a brewery for over an hour but the app wouldn't recognize it. So I tried requesting a manual stamp. I don't think this feature actually works. I tried following the directions, submitting a picture of myself in front of the sign inside the brewery, but nothing happened. Not even a confirmation of any kind that the request has been made, and of course, no stamp. Fix these bugs and the app will be great.

First of all, any app that “polices” my alcohol consumption is problematic. We visit a lot of breweries—sometimes we have a small pour and then are on to the next place. Other times we stay for hours nursing a couple rounds. If I want to stamp my passport twice within 30 min, I don’t need to see a message lecturing me about alcohol consumption. Second issue I have is with the app itself—the “stamp passport” portion is not intuitively designed. I shouldn’t have to tap through several screens to get to the stamp passport screen. It’s such a great idea to have an app that lets you keep track of the breweries you visit and I do like how it’s GPS-based. I just think it needs some tweaking.

I used the passport feature for year. It was great. Visited a lot of breweries I wouldn’t have known about. Tasted some great beers and met some interesting beer advocates. Then on my one year anniversary all my badges and stamps disappeared, including those from breweries I visited two days ago. Very lame. It was great to track the 50+ breweries I visited. Now that’s all gone.

Fantastic, easy to use and extremely helpful App! Love the Passport feature also. One suggestion though; maybe after you “Stamp” a Brewery, the blue dot icon that shows up on the Map could change color to show that you’ve already visited? It would be more helpful, especially on the go, rather than having to click each one and remember if you’ve been there or not. Thanks!
