Perfect Drink

Spent two hours inputting items into the "cabinet" and a further hour inputting basic cocktails it didn't have. Next day, all data was lost! App is deleted, scales are in the bin!

I tried a few and gave up. Finally came across this app because of its unique scale that works with it and I downloaded the app while I wait for my scale to come. Adding recipes was easy and intuitive, and the interface is clean and straightforward. Excited to use it more as I get more into craft cocktails!

The app hasn’t been updated for more than a year. When used with the current version of iOS(17.1.2) on my iPhone 13 Pro, it is only partially functional. For example, it will recognize that I have put a glass of ice on the scale, but it will not recognize the pouring of any ingredients. Works fine on my old iPad mini (2nd gen) with iOS 12.5.7, just not on devices with current iOS. I suppose it’s possible it’s an issue with using the lightning > headphone dongle? Or it may just need updating for compatibility with the current iOS. Update: Just tried with 17.1.2 on my regular iPad and it works fine, don’t appears to be an issue when using the Lightning to headphone adapter on devices without a headphone jack.

No updates in years.

I’ve tried a lot of different cocktail apps and this one is the best! A lot of other apps had the wrong measurement for simple cocktails this one is spot on for everyone that I’ve looked at! It’s great if you are a beginner or a bartender trying to find new ideas. The ability to make your own cocktail is a little difficult at first but after some messing around it’s easy and you can get very detailed in how to build the cocktail. I highly recommend this app!

App is great with easy to follow prompts. Luv it.

I’ve had Perfect Drink for a few years now and at first it seems great, but it’s so finicky. I use the scale exclusively as a kitchen scale but the most annoying thing is that occasionally the Bluetooth tries to connect and you can’t stop it. But the app. It hasn’t gotten new recipes in years and adding new recipes is a real challenge. I use the Paprika app for cooking and loading recipes is a breeze. This though has no real way to import recipes. It’s a super manual process despite the number of actions taken to build a cocktail being super simple typically. There should be a way for me to import recipes from websites and have the actions be auto generated by the app.

The best thing about app that is free. But design is horrible like came from 1990. Also it a base thing for a cocktail app to search recipe with different filters. And it will be great if you add more recipes. Nowadays there only basic recipes from IBA site.

App stopped working with new phone and after updates. App recognizes shaker glass on scale but not when you pour in your ingredients.

It seemed they had stopped supporting the app for awhile seeing as how it wasn’t working too well with newer phones, but when I saw they released an update for the app, it seems the problems have been resolved! It’s such a great app again! Thank you so much! :)
