User Reviews

Users praise BeerSmith Mobile for its strong brewing tools and cloud recipe access, noting its intuitive interface and broad recipe library. However, recurring issues limit its value: frequent crashes and glitches, unreliable timers, and problems saving or editing recipes. Some users also report weak synchronization with desktop versions and requests for better import support. A few reviewers still find it powerful for planning and designing beers, but overall stability concerns and feature gaps are common across reviews.
Pros
  • Powerful calculation and conversion tools for brew day
  • Cloud-based recipe storage and cross-device access
  • Intuitive, easy-to-use interface with helpful tutorials
  • Comprehensive brewing toolkit and recipe encyclopedia
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and glitches, causing instability
  • Timer issues: not reliable, often not audible or missing during brew
  • Inability to save/edit recipes reliably; data loss
  • Limited desktop syncing/import compatibility; manual transfer
  • Clunky or hard-to-use UI

The reason I wanted this app was to use it to calculate many of the various things that are needed for during the brewing process. Anyways, lately it seems this crashes every time one of the tools is opened… ie when opening the back-sweetening too, and trying to select a new sugar from the list. Honestly this basically makes the app useless which is a bummer because it is a paid app etc.

I’ve been using this app now for a couple of months and have made some amazing beer with it. It’s pretty intuitive and easy to work with. Use it in tandem with internet website subscription, only improvement I would suggest is to integrate the water chemistry profile builder capability into the app and prove a “VOLS” tab. Cheers!

I’m getting used to saving everything before i close. Also, can’t find specific fermentable ingredients that you can on Brewer’s Friend.
