Reviews
Should have read previous reviews

I normally read the reviews before downloading apps, but for whatever reason this time I didn't. Just as previous reviews stated, there is nothing past the letter D. Not a very complete drink recipe app without the rest of the alphabet.

If you want to stump the barkeep, try it. But if you want a recipe for a cosmopolitan (for example), forget it. It isn't there. Martini's are there, listed under "dry martini", but if you search "martini" you come up empty.
Data Not Useful
Kmmusic
Out of the dozens of cocktails I drink, I was able to find only two in here... So I deleted all the existing ones - determined to use the nice interface to populate the database correctly. Now every time I attempt to delete an ingredient, it crashes. Would love an "empty" database with just the nice glassware.
Pretty useless

First, a heads up. Drink & Cocktail Pro (Lite) is identical to Party Pro (Lite). The author seems to be trying to score multiple sales by pushing identical apps with different icons and splash screens. I've seen no identifiable differences between the two. As for a review. The app isn't the worst of it's class, it's just not good either. The recipe database is completely without value. There are no recipes that any person will ever know (and many that nobody would want). Judging by many of them, I'm pretty sure that they are either made up or possibly even created by a random generator. Regarding features and graphics (the other 10%) of any cocktail app, this one doesn't really have either of those. Very standard iPhone controls with almost zero styling effort (meaning that they are boring to look at). There are no features that any other app doesn't already provide. It's pointlessly generic... There's nothing about this app that redeems the fact that the drink database is worthless. But I will give one singular credit...That they don't include any commonly requested recipes. Normally this isn't a good thing, but with so many apps getting the basic recipes wrong, I'm almost happy to see apps that don't make the situation worse. If it's not obvious, I would not recommend anybody seriously use this app.
Buggy and imprecise

The recipes are decent although I agree with other reviewers that had never heard of some of them. "Baby's Bottom"? Really? The ability to narrow drinks by ingredient is nice, though it'd be better to have them listed by frequency as it's a pain to search the list. By far though the reason for two stars is the crashes! there are countless "blank" recipe entries that show up in a search and crash the app if clicked. Bottom line... if you are snowed in all winter with a full bar and a lot of time, you might get some use out of it. And the constant random crashes will keep you from drinking too much...though that's probably not what the authors intended. Otherwise there are bound to be better ones.
