Users find Brewer's Friend offers valuable brewing calculations and recipe management with good syncing capabilities, showing promise as a mobile tool. However, many report significant issues including difficulties saving edits, syncing data, login problems, and unreliable feature calculations. Account creation through the app is also problematic. Despite these bugs, the app's core functionality and calculators are appreciated, and improvements could make it a top choice for brewers.

Pros

Allows syncing and accessing recipes across devices.
Includes multiple brewing calculators that are helpful and accurate (e.g. recipe numbers close to expected values).
Has potential and promise as a mobile beer recipe app with well-designed features.

Cons

Editing and saving recipes was initially problematic or confusing for some users.
The app often fails to sync data or login, causing frustration and preventing functionality.
Certain features like refractometer and IBU calculations have bugs or produce inconsistent results compared to the website.
Account creation through the app is difficult or impossible; users must use the website instead.
App duplicated website functionality but with reduced or broken capabilities, making it less useful.

Don't work

I find this app only useful to check my recipes for info on brew days. If I try to edit a recipe, nothing saves. If there is a save button, I haven't seen it. My monthly subscription to Brewers Friend has doubled and this app is touted as being one of the reasons for the 100% increase. Would be nice if something as basic as editing a recipe worked. Edit: I removed the app and reinstalled. I can now see the save icon.
