PLEASE FIX NEW UPDATE BUGS I can edit any recipes as soon as I try to save the app freezes                     Love this app Ajb1984

Absolutely love this Beersmith I ve beenhomebrewing for five years Been doing all grain brewing and making my own recipes with Beersmith for about 2 1 2 years love it but since last update 9 0 1 keeps freezing and can t go back PLEASE FIX Thank you                     Please fix freezing JPOletsgo

I use this when I go to the home brew shop to get ingredients and for brew timers The recipe cloud is great as I use Beersmith 2 on my PC to plan all my brews                     Great Companion CannibalAJ

Just make sure the security on your router is not blocking the cloud                     Works well Hot Mama H

This app has some great potential as soon as the big are worked out of it I just upgraded my lite to the full version I would have liked to see the icon change to the full version after doing so It would have probably benefited the app to run a beta for more user input and fix programming issues Other than that I am extremely excited to write recipes on the fly which will be so much better with easy accessibility             Great potential Jcironhide

This is no where near what the full software is but I have enjoyed using the timers and calculators and other gadgets I am excited for the full version to come for Apple products                     Awesome Yes Man #1

This is a handy COMPANION to the BeerSmith full version I especially like the timing feature for mash and boil schedules I look forward to getting full functionality for this app without having to start up my PC to change a recipe on the fly for example                 Looking forward to full version Pszone42

Overall this app is a handy resource tool for calculations and recipe inspiration Only downside I ve found is in majority of the recipes they don t add great instructions for the brew such as amount of time in fermentation secondary and in some cases the recipe calls for kegging and doesn t give you a sugar to add for bottle carbonation But those things can be found by trial and error would just be nice to take out the guess work             Good resource Miscman23

Overall a very good app I works better with the computer software if your looking to change anything within the recipe unfortunately this app alone can t do it However if your a beginner that know how to brew and are just looking for different recipes to see what you favorite tips then this is certainly the best place I have found to get those recipes                 Good app and good beers MRcleanShrek

Requires the desktop client to enter new recipes Should be part of the beer smith app App does work well at brew time providing timers ingredients and amounts Timers work even if iPod powers down             Good but would like more funtionality WestCoaster fan

This is a great companion to the desk too app                     Great app Sgcgh

Don t know why people are mad at this app As a long time BeerSmith user this is the perfect companion Read the description It s not meant to stand alone Quit being cheep and then complaining because this isn t what you are looking for If you have BeerSmith on your Computer this thing is awesome Don t know how many times I ve forgotten my recipe and wished I had it at the LHBS This makes it that much easier Plus the timer is great Awesome app Can t wait till the full version is out                     Great App ClayWA

Desktop version doesn t automatically put recipes in cloud account you need to move them manually Could version drops information like brew dae         Limited functionality Shovey123

This app is not worth getting I feel that it is a companion app for the desktop version and not good enough as a stand alone app Wish I could get my money back Since I don t want to fork out the money for the desktop version I am out of luck Don t bother with this unless you have beersmith on you computer Very disappointed Wish they would make this more obvious in the app description I found more functionality from cheaper apps out there     Not worth getting ding_apple

I originally rated this only two stars and then last night I used it to brew a DFH 90 minute IPA clone Without this app it really would ve been difficult to time 15 additions at 6 min apart The app made it easy and made my brew day very easy                 Changing my review The Crock

Don t even bother with this or Brew Pal Ibrewmaster just costs a wee bit more and is EVERYTHING you will need Long time programmers will appreciate the depth of its functions and ease of use Too bad apple doesn t allow returns tom lucy     tom jordan Tom-Jordan

This is a great brew day companion app without a doubt A robust integrated timer is what I ve been looking for and by pulling up my Beer Smith cloud recipes and it auto timing my hop charges and mash timers I m having much more relaxed and stress free brew days Thanks Brad at BS and I look forward to the release of the full mobile version in the future                     Does as advertised Mays

I think this is a great LITE version of PC app It is lite so yeah you can t edit recipe or scale That s OK Being able to see my recipe during brewing and not having to print out is handy Having the calculators tools recipes etc is well worth 4 And I do look forward to having the ability to edit or scale when the Lite grows up to the Full version Good job                 Handy App mchaton

No way to add recipes no way to covert recipes to different sizes 5 gal To 2gal no way to use this functionally         I feel like I just wasted my money DrummerGrill

This is a great app I especially like it because I can access my recipes that I plan to brew at work That way when I m taking a break I can review the recipe and think about if I want to tweak it etc I can t wait for the full version to come out so I don t have to wait to get home to edit the recipes though                     Lite is Great but Full will be better Ryush806

I like it a lot but now my cloud don t load Any more Can u fix it             Cloud BTownBrewer

Pros Beersmith Lite has many useful tools in calculators integrated and allows you to search beersmith recipes and is a great resource and would should be a great free app Cons No deeper functionality it is not possible to create or even edit your recipes which seems absurd Choose the more expensive alternative to beersmith on the App Store and don t waste your money here until they add some of the beersmith software features         Lite Too Lite bshegg

Totally not worth it gives you nothing you can t get online for free They talk up the pc version which I don t have but this app adds no value to making beer Save your money by googleing recipes and brew calculators online By far the worst app I have ever paid for     Terrible App JB51383

This is a great app but there are still problems with the brew timer The highlighted steps don t stay in sync with the timer so it can be hard to follow at times The timer works great as long as you don t try to follow along with the steps that highlight in the app                 Timer is buggy kcweazle

I have the PC version and this IOS version and they are great I can sync to the cloud search for recipes and later edit them at home Brad is awesome and he has so much pride in his program Support is fantastic                     I love this program Kevjl2

Eliminates need for me to print sheets Would mine nice to make on the fly adjustments in terms of grain weights eff Etc                 Nice start Swackjr

Can t wait for the full version BeerSmith is by far the best brewing software around                     Love this app YRB1836

I am really happy this App has been released and I am certainly looking forward to the next releases where recipes can be edited It is not intuitive how to make recipes available offline but it is possible to do so                 Great start but needs more to equal the PC version Anon12345sawed

Well done this far Looking forward to the full version It would be nice to be able to see the calendar and add notes                 Excellent start J Double DuBB

Problem with cloud access is now resolved Uninstalling and reinstalling did the trick My previous review was premature and misleading Brad was extremely responsive and helpful Thank you                     Problem with Cloud Resolved Beerguy52

Lots of useful tools Great ability to get your recipes from the cloud I would give it a five star if there was a calendar sync as well Maybe in time Worth the money                 Nice Galaxybrewer

Sooo I like everything but the recipe screen I love you brew sheet and use it a LOT Would love to have electronic version of it Items I d like on the recipe screen are check boxes notes collapsable sections Yeast starter Water Grain Mash Boil etc etc AND push notifications for brew timers i e friday morning Yeast starter for Sat brew Export and or sync back to my desktop for notes Inventory push to the cloud so I know what to buy when I go to the homebrew store Custom processes sections where I could just put in a list of steps for my brew system Photo notes or url link to notes Evernote for example Anyway well worth the 4 Thanks Brad et al                 Awsome Clay75275

Beersmith desktop software is great and now this mobile version builds on it I can access the recipes from y desktop via the cloud from my phone while I m in the backyard brewing And there are WAY more tools here to help me along when adjustments or measurements need to be made                     Just what I needed MikesterB

I ve used Beersmith for over a year and I m still amazed how powerful it is and how much better my beer has improved because of it I have been waiting for the mobile versions to come out so I can make more effective use of the Cloud What is very cool about the app are the Tools Even though you can t yet edit recipes you can make mash infusion calculations on the fly That alone is worth the price of the app Thanks Brad Looking forward to the full version                     Better than I expected Imagerium

Works great I love being able to do my recipes on my computer put them in the cloud and be able to have a portable brew timer                     Love it Jiggs262

I like the idea of the app and not necessarily having to drag out my laptop to utilize just a few tools and make adjustments during my brew session The hydrometer adjust refractomer attenuation are fantastic to have at my finger tips The reference tool along with all it s ingredients and data is also very helpful as well as the unit conversion tool However I would like to have a few more of the BeerSmith tools at my fingertips like the yeast starter hop bitterness boil off and dilution tools included with PC version This is a great start and great software to make your brewday a lot easier and keep you on track Keep up the good work and I ll be looking forward to the next release                 Fantastic Tools Jay24350

I have been using beersmith 2 for a while now and this is just what I ve been looking for I can pull up my cloud recipes anywhere without needing a computer and the brew day timer means I don t have to leave my laptop near my brewing equipment                     Awesome companion app mattybrass85

Works great so far that I can tell BeerSmith has always been on the ball with their PC product I don t expect any less with the mobile version                     Glad to see it finally here SalM2

Love being able to view my recipes on the go Transferring them via the cloud is simple Would like to see it expanded for the iPhone 5 screen in the next update Great app Brad                     Works great Maverick78
