## Review summary

User reviews repeatedly cite unreliable location-based search and missing data, leading to poor results. Performance issues (slow loading, notification delays) and limited coverage (especially beyond large cities) amplify frustration. Usability and UI problems further degrade the experience, contributing to frequent uninstallations. While a few positives acknowledge ease of use relative to competitors and data for some breweries, the dominant theme is a dysfunctional, incomplete beer-finding experience.

### Pros

- Easier to use compared to other beer-finding apps.
- Useful for the breweries it does track.
- Seems legitimate with potential in large cities (better suited there) and could improve with broader coverage.

### Cons

- Location/search data is unreliable or missing: beers not found near you, wrong locations shown, or no results at all.
- Slow performance and unreliable behavior: long loads, delayed notifications, and issues closing the app.
- Incomplete data and limited coverage: many beers, stores, and breweries are not listed, especially outside major cities.
- Usability/UI problems: not user-friendly, hard to edit searches, and layout/readability issues."
- General negative sentiment and frequent uninstalling: app often deemed not worth using and many users abandon it.
