Highball for Pc

This is the best looking cocktail app in the store. I love that it is focused on storing your own recipes rather than being a big database of existing recipes. It’s clearly focused on the enthusiast with their own recipe collection rather than the person who wants to make a drink here or there. With that said, I wish they would put a little more time into development and add a few features that could greatly improve the app. Ability to sort and categorize your recipes would be huge. Currently the best you can do is by color of the cards or where you place them in order. Another is backup. There needs to be a way to back up to the cloud. As is, what’s the point of manually typing up all of your recipes only to have them tied to one device? Phone breaks, so does your recipe collection. And exporting each recipe card, one by one isn’t a realistic workaround for a large library. As it currently stands, this is more of a novelty way to make pretty recipe cards than an actual useful tool. Dear Studio Neat, several reviews have mentioned a pay model. Seriously... charge us for the app. Even just add cloud backup and an iPad version and I’ll gladly shell out a few $$.

Love this app, comes with a limited selection of recipes and thats what kills this app. I do love building my own drinks and making the card to share with friends, but I make traditional drinks more than I experiment so really need to see more recipes to make this more useful and less of a novelty. Developer, a few suggestions. 1. Do charge for app, $4-$9 is acceptable, it would be on par with a recipe book. 2. Do not go subscription model, no one can see the need to subscribe to a drink app. Not enough going on to justify it. And the ones that have are now suffering. 3. Really, I mean it, charge us, we will pay for good apps. 4. Bring in way more recipes. 5. Needs a iPad version badly. And it should allow for Portrait and Landscape mode. My iPad Pro is never in Portrait, only in landscape as its in a keyboard case. 6. Bring in a way to inventory my liquor and suggest drinks on what I have on hand. That is by far the most useful thing a drink app can do. And that will be what makes this worth the purchase. Purchase, not subscription. Please don’t go subscription. Developer, think of all the subscriptions you currently have, would you want another, neither do we. So again, creative app, best looking for sharing, lacking key features that we would all pay for.

This really is one of the best cocktail recipe apps, bar none. Clean and attractive design goes a long way and this one really has a great uncomplicated look. However, it really, really needs a few details taken care of to address some annoying aspects of using it. 1. Some sort of categorization scheme- alphabetically, base spirit, arbitrary folders/groups, whatever. Right now you can’t even organize without a lot of tedious dragging one recipe at a time. 2. Backup backup backup. iCloud would be great but anything would be better than losing all of your carefully curated recipes when your phone dies. 3. Better import/export. After the 10th time having to type everything in by hand, I’ve given up and sort of stopped adding new recipes. There’s not even autocomplete so it’s just a slog adding more than one recipe at a time. The export/sharing is okay, but again, the one-at-a-time business is clunky. 4. The graphics are great! I just wish there were more options for garnishes, or egg white foam for sours, or vegetables, or weirdo Tiki drinks. Let’s have some fun. 🙂 I don’t want this to come off as too negative- I love this app and I’m gonna keep using it because it’s really well-designed. It just needs a little TLC. As other reviews have mentioned, I’d gladly pay a couple bucks for a refreshed version. (Please don’t go the subscription route, though…)

Edit: Version 1.3 Update Some of the minor annoyances of the UI locking up for a split second while scrolling through the cards or dragging a recipe card are be gone in this latest update. It may have only affected older phones like my 6s, but that and the iPhone X-esque rounded card corners are welcome changes! *********** Works great. I like the concept and how the recipes are shared as images. Worst case scenario, you have an image with a recipe, best case, you have the app and can edit it. I would have given 5 stars, but I wish the ingredients could be reordered without deleting and starting over. There's also a few options that could be added to the drink picture creation, but overall very cool. I will be using this to store and create all my recipes from now on. So long 'Notes'!
