Perfect Drink App Comentários

Outdated App

The app hasn’t been updated for more than a year. When used with the current version of iOS(17.1.2) on my iPhone 13 Pro, it is only partially functional. For example, it will recognize that I have put a glass of ice on the scale, but it will not recognize the pouring of any ingredients. Works fine on my old iPad mini (2nd gen) with iOS 12.5.7, just not on devices with current iOS. I suppose it’s possible it’s an issue with using the lightning > headphone dongle? Or it may just need updating for compatibility with the current iOS. Update: Just tried with 17.1.2 on my regular iPad and it works fine, don’t appears to be an issue when using the Lightning to headphone adapter on devices without a headphone jack.

Dead?

No updates in years.

Best cocktail app

I’ve tried a lot of different cocktail apps and this one is the best! A lot of other apps had the wrong measurement for simple cocktails this one is spot on for everyone that I’ve looked at! It’s great if you are a beginner or a bartender trying to find new ideas. The ability to make your own cocktail is a little difficult at first but after some messing around it’s easy and you can get very detailed in how to build the cocktail. I highly recommend this app!

Awesome

App is great with easy to follow prompts. Luv it.

Clunky app that doesn’t update frequently

I’ve had Perfect Drink for a few years now and at first it seems great, but it’s so finicky. I use the scale exclusively as a kitchen scale but the most annoying thing is that occasionally the Bluetooth tries to connect and you can’t stop it. But the app. It hasn’t gotten new recipes in years and adding new recipes is a real challenge. I use the Paprika app for cooking and loading recipes is a breeze. This though has no real way to import recipes. It’s a super manual process despite the number of actions taken to build a cocktail being super simple typically. There should be a way for me to import recipes from websites and have the actions be auto generated by the app.

It could be better

The best thing about app that is free. But design is horrible like came from 1990. Also it a base thing for a cocktail app to search recipe with different filters. And it will be great if you add more recipes. Nowadays there only basic recipes from IBA site.

Doesn’t work

App stopped working with new phone and after updates. App recognizes shaker glass on scale but not when you pour in your ingredients.

So happy to see them supporting the app again!

It seemed they had stopped supporting the app for awhile seeing as how it wasn’t working too well with newer phones, but when I saw they released an update for the app, it seems the problems have been resolved! It’s such a great app again! Thank you so much! :)

Horrible support

Password reset feature does not work. I created a support ticket and have received no response. The app is great but expect no help.

Cool App

This is a good app with interesting hardware that connects to it. It’s a pretty innovative idea how it works. Devs, please communicate to those in charge we appreciate the ongoing support as iOS updates and things change over the years. This is a cool device that sits on the counter of my home bar!

PLEASE DONT ABANDON THIS APP

It’s awesome. Please keep improving it. Let others submit drinks. Let us vote on them. Like a community

Could use an update

Overall I like this app a lot its really well calibrated with the scale but could use an update by added more drinks it can make.

App has issues

When trying to load up a recipe, the app doesn’t load the recipe. It’s just a blank screen. You have to go back and forth multiple times and restart the app to get it to ever pull up the recipe. Super annoying.

Won’t let me sign in with existing account

Not very functional if you can’t even sign in. When I try to enter my cursor goes to select or select all not letting me type. And it knows I have an account when I try to register but won’t let me in. I hope that they didn’t pay for this because they were taken

Seems to be not working with iPhone XS Max

The app doesn’t do live update for my liquor as i am pouring it in the container.

Used to be good

Drink recipes no longer show up unless you’re using the scale and actively making it. No easy way to check what ingredients are anymore. Zero maintenance on the app in months...

Way out of date

This app works ok but needs a total up overhaul to match newer phones. Hard to navigate and enter fields with the old design.

Great idea, could be executed better

The app works great at a surface level, but lots of issues arise when you dive deeper. For example, it still uses the outdated iOS background that is not compatible with iPhone X and above that makes it look like it’s from 2014. Also, I tend to get stuck in keyboard functions without being able to go back. Creating new drinks is just painful. My profile never seems to load. It’s a few updates away from being a fantastic app!

Was a great app

Why did you remove the function to type search for drinks? The app is terrible now

Does not work with wired

I have an iPhone X and the Perfect Drink scale I got from Brookestone which is wired. When I finally got the chance to try it out for New Years 2019. Turns out the scale doesn’t work with the iPhone X wired with the headset dongle. I had to used an old iPhone that was laying around, it had a headphone jack or an Android phone that had an headphone jack. I’m disappointed I can’t use the scale on my phone. I really hope they can find a solution for the wired scale on the iPhone X

Update!!!!

Please update for iPhone X It doesn’t recognize my ear bud adapter :(

No iPhone X support

Update your app!!!

Waste

Every time I open the App my favorites are gone

Awesome

Finally got around to using perfect drink, it’s awesome. I can tell a lot of though went into each feature. It was great that I could add a bunch of things to my cabinet and then find a drink to make.

Makes it fun to try new drinks

I have been using it almost daily for weeks now. It makes it easy and fun to try new drinks. I just wish they would continue to optimize and update the app. Hoping for iPhone X update...

Used it three times - love it with one change

We have used it three times and it makes it easy to create new drinks. I love the way that if you overpour it corrects it so you add more of the other ingredients. I wish it had a location that you could put a note on whether or not he likes the drink. You can put it in your recipe box but it would be nice if you could make a note. Will be using it a lot this summer.

It is a hassle to find drinks by what is in your cabinet.

For example. I want to make a drink with Rumchata. Nope won't show up anything. Also would be improved if you can pick more than one ingredient to sort drink recipes. The app is also overly complicated because it list the recipes by an order they choose to market a product. Like there is only absolute brand of vodka. Different flavors but still absolute. You are better off putting each and every single recipe you want manually. At least you keep the list simple. However doing this can be time consuming. Personally. I think the app is best suited for making 4 or more servings of a drink or making punch for a party.

Wonderful, but?

App and scale are awesome. I would love to see an ability to scan an ingredient and then weigh it to add it to the bar list. That would make a great app even better.

ONE SUGGESTION

Great update!!! I was surprised at all the downloadable recipes. I want to suggest an idea for a future update. There are so many recipes that you must scroll a lot to get through them. You should add the sidebar scrolling like snapchat to guide through alphabetically !! Less scrolling

Features Changed for Worse

Pouring fill graphics used to be proportional to amount required, now they are same size. Makes pouring less precise! Dec 2016 update changed.

Great Fun App

We love our perfect drink scale and app. It adds a bit of fun to any gathering and people try new drinks when they can help make it using the scale. We first got the corded version and used it a a lot around the holidays then didn't use it for a while and I contacted Perfect drink and they were incredibly helpful and sent me a new Bluetooth scale. The app takes a little getting used to but it's worth the time to enter everything in your cabinet and then it will tell you what you can make.

Love all the perfect apps

I received the perfect scale for Christmas, but before I got the scale I had already downloaded all three of the apps perfect bake perfect blend and perfect drink. The apps are amazing, they are definitely attuned towards a person who has experience with technology, but even if you're not that great at using new technology they offer lots of videos to help you along the way. The recipes are wonderful and I love that they add new recipes all the time, I love that the apps are free even if you don't have one of their scales, and there are no ads. I have noticed the app crashing when trying to create my own recipes. But as long as you save your work as you go this is not a problem just an annoyance. Also it does have a different look on my iPad that on my phone, on the iPad it is viewed horizontally more like a cookbook, and on the iPhone it is viewed vertically, I have not seen a way to change this. I personally like the way it looks on both of them but it is different and at first it was kind of weird. I love that I can create a login on my iPad which is what I mainly use in the kitchen and my phone always has the same information. I can create shopping list on my iPad for the ingredients I need, and when I go to the store with my iPhone and my shopping list is there for me. All in all this is the most amazing cooking app I have ever found and I have had several of them. It takes 100% of the guesswork out of breakfast lunch and dinner it makes cooking even more fun because I don't even have to think about it, especially on complicated recipes, I just follow the prompts and I'm rewarded with nice tones every step of the way!

Needs work

Runs well, needs more...the ability to scan a barcode from the bottle would be awesome.the ability to add ingredients. Such as The basic Red Bull?! Don't know if it's worth 100$ yet. Needs blended drinks as well.

Loved it until.....

Got this for my husband's birthday a couple of years ago and he loved it like crazy. Absolutely fool proof drink making. Then I got a new iPad. Even though the app downloaded fine and it said it did a full sync, none of my old recipes are there. Some of them we collected from distillery tours and I don't have the cards anymore since there were all in the app. Here's the worst part. I contacted customer support and not once but twice they closed the ticket without contacting me or doing a thing! So, app gets two stars, customer service gets zero.

Love this app

Present from my kids. It allows me to have fun and experiment with drinks I normally never try. I know they are made perfectly like a bartender would make them but in my own home.

So much fun! The PRO is worth it.

A friend of ours has the old wired Perfect Bake scale. We played with it at the lake house over the 4th of July and the Recipe App is so much fun! We each picked a cookie recipe and took turns making them (the Chocolate Chunk Cherry Almond ones are amazing!!!). It was definitely worth it to upgrade to the PRO scale. The bluetooth is super easy to set up and it looks beautiful sitting out on the counter. Oh, and it works with the Perfect Drink app as well! I see lots of tasty cookies and cocktails in our future... Can't wait to get started!

Great app

Really comprehensive way to build drinks. My favorite feature is the "cabinet" where you add all of your actual liquors and ingredients, then the app can tell you based on what you own, what drinks you can make. If you don't have the ingredients you can add them to a handy shopping list in app easily, it then classifies your ingredients which is very organized by what products they are (fruit, mixers, alcohol, dairy). I will say their drink library looks like it's missing a good amount of drinks, seems like there should be a lot more than what is in the app.

4 because..

Crashes every time I open it 😭 Love this app 😭

The only thing missing...

There is only one reason why I only have 4 stars. The only thing missin me is nutritional information per drink. If the recipe already includes a precise measurement, it shouldn't be too hard to add the nutritional information per drink. I would give 5 stars for that.

So much fun!!!

The Perfect Drink is a truly amazing product! If you haven't used it at a party, you absolutely don't know what you're missing! Actually, I believe the Perfect Drink is the life of the party!

Brilliant!

An amazing product that makes cocktail hour a breeze!

They keep adding new stuff

I haven't used my perfect drink app in a few months. Today I loaded it up and they had a bunch of new drink packs to download. I love this thing, I'm always finding new drinks to try. I love the game day pack I just downloaded.

Exceptional customer service

I had a special Christmas Eve cocktail menu planned when suddenly my scale stopped working. Clearly, the issue was “user error” since everything was fine a few minutes earlier, but I didn’t know what I had done wrong. I didn’t really expect to get a response from anyone at Perfect Drink at 4PM on Christmas Eve, but JT patiently resolved my issue and saved the day. Perfect Drink was a big hit at our holiday dinner. It’s so easy. Everyone wanted a turn at being the perfect” bartender. I've since bought two as "perfect" gifts.

Disappointing

It won't get off the screen that says empty the scale except for the tray and press ok!!!

Great Interface

Love the ingredients grouping, cocktail categorization, graphics and everything about the app just a few minutes after downloading.

Stupid app

Stupid app that doesnt allow you to even access it, i'm 24 years old and it says i'm not of legal age to drink !!

Great drinks app, even if you don't have the scale

Lots of great recipes, easy to add your own, easy to use to make drinks. Much more fun if you have the scale, of course. And they are very responsive. Reported a bug and the fix is here within a few days!

Great tool for novice and amateur use!!

Just received the scale as a gift for Christmas! An amazing app allowing the user to add available ingredients to their "cabinet" and build cocktails from day one! Even allows for user to add their own personal cocktail creations and store it away into the app's memory! Just made myself the Atty and Boulavardier cocktails! One thing I will say confuses me is out of all the available ingredients there are in the cabinet there doesn't seem to be ingredients such as Sambuca or Ouzo! Developers?

Great app, great product

Very easy to use and executes flawlessly. With the most recent version's ability to create an account, and therefore share recipes and cabinet contents, the app now pretty much lives up to its first name. Kudos to the SW team on this product!!!
