## Review summary

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- Missing older guideline versions (e.g., 2008/2015 BJCP and older BA guidelines) and historical content.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.
