Frustrated

Since iOS9 app will not allow me to adjust saved recipes. Please look into this.

Help!! Please fix app buttons!

Please fix app buttons with iOS 9.01!

Not working

Please update for the iPhone 6s. Its not working just freezes up.

Great app

Needs a fix! iOS 9 compatible issues, back button, delete, and edit , cancel buttons not working leaving you stuck on page

Broken

App currently doesnt work in iOS 9, though an update earlier this month claims to have fixed it. App freezes up after selecting one item and refuses to acknowledge any further button presses. Completely unusable.

Doesnt work anymore

Lost so many recipes from this app. App doesnt work anymore. Will be moving on to a new program.

A poor substitute for the superb desktop app

Completely non-functional. Many buttons dont work, rendering the app totally useless.

Broken

App stopped working with last iOS update. Grrrrrrr I need to brew tomorrow

Please update ASAP for the iPhone 6s

Please update ASAP for the iPhone 6s. Having trouble adding stuff and back buttons dont work.

Recent update, needs an update

The recent update has caused it to freeze up every time I edit a recipe in my recipes. Please fix... Im using an iPad 3 with ios9.

Good combination

I use both the mobile app and the desktop version. The app is great for when I actually brew, on brew day. Using the timer, keeping track in general. Not as great for creating recipes, but it does the trick (again, app wise). There have been a few issues with the latest IOS, but the developer of this app is always very helpful to answer questions or concerns.

Must have

Solid products that are very versatile. Must have for every brewer.

Bugs fixed!

Thanks for the update. BeerSmith works again. Apple was the culprit. iOS 9.0.1 rendered a couple of other apps useless.

Always keeps me organized!

I love this app!

Great app, issues fixed

Update: issues with iOS 9 have been fixed and the buttons all work again! I love this app and have used it for numerous brews. I think the price tag is a little hefty considering you already pay $30 for the desktop software-but nonetheless I bought it and love it.

Awesome support from the developer.

When iOS 9.0.1 was released I naturally updated my system. When I next attempted to use my BeerSmith app on my iPad, I found that it would freeze when I tried to edit any of my recipes. My natural instinct was to contact the developer, Brad Smith, which I did. In less than a day, and on a Saturday I might add, I received a reply from Brad Smith. Brad said that he had worked hours getting his BeerSmith app ready for the new iOS 9 release. The app continued to work seamlessly with the new iOS 9 release. However, when Apple released a quick fix to their new system, iOS 9.0.1, they failed to give app developers like Brad, a heads-up. As a result 9.0.1 caused operational errors with the BeerSmith app and Brad was caught unaware and had to scramble to make the necessary changes to his app so it would, once again, work with the newly released iOS 9.0.1. Cudos to Brad for working so hard to get this problem fixed so quickly for home and craft brewers like me who depend on BeerSmith as our go-to platform to store and develop our home brew recipes and configure our brews. I am especially impressed with the speed with which Brad personally responds to questions regarding this brewing software. Ive used at least three other systems and this is the best software out there in my opinion for brewing.

If youre a homebrewer, you need this app!

Not only does it have the 2008 and 2015 BJCP guidelines, it helps you build your own recipe to the guidelines. Cant find an ingredient? You can input its parameters yourself! Looking for ideas? You can search a ton of recipes (all grain, extract and partial mash) submitted by fellow homebrewers. This app is the bomb!

Became my main brewing app.

I was a big fan of the PC version, but now that they are having some frequent development and debugging on the mobile app, its now a pretty solid, competent tool. Thanks developers! Well worth the price.

Great app and excellent support

Love this app and have been using since the initial release. I feel it has more than paid for itself by reducing brew day stress and letting me draft out new recipes from the office (or wherever beer is on my mind). The developer was quick to get the needs iOS 9.0.1 stuff ironed out!! Keep up the good work!!

You need this in your life

This program has completely changed how I make beer. I recommend the desktop version to compliment the app. Go to their website and sign up for the podcast and newsletter too! Cant say enough.
