User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise the app for current BJCP guidelines, a clean, navigable UI, and its all-in-one, portable reference for judging and training. However, recurring criticisms center on missing older guideline versions and cider/mead/perry coverage, limited content scope, and some unresolved bugs. The app’s value hinges on expanding content coverage while maintaining the intuitive interface and timely updates.

Pros

Up-to-date BJCP/BA guidelines with easy toggle between versions, including 2021 guidelines.
Clean, smooth, and organized interface that’s easy to navigate and read.
All-in-one reference that eliminates bulky PDFs and lets you access guidelines quickly.
Great for judging and training on the go; widely used by judges.
Responsive developer with timely bug fixes and updates.

Cons

Missing older guideline versions (e.g., 2008/2015 BJCP and older BA guidelines) and historical content.
Scope limited to beer styles; cider, mead, and perry guidelines are not included.
Some bugs remain (e.g., certain categories cannot be favorited) and ongoing reliability concerns.
Perceived gaps in content updates; some reviewers feel content has been incomplete or not fully re-added.

Recent reviews

This is a fantastic app, used by many, many beer judges as well as other well informed tipplers. When something is amiss the developer addresses the problem quickly.

This app is great for pulling up guidelines when judging, or just Reading through them. There’s not very many of these and this is the best one that I found. Also have the newest guidelines available and was updated quickly after the BJP guidelines were published. I appreciate how smooth the interface is and how organized the information is so you can find what you need to find.
