Untappd app for whiskey5/2/2023 The web version looks slightly different such as lacking the star rating values when displayed like this as a feed: Thanks to the Droid operating system being difficult, I was unable to take a screen shot, so I took one on the web version. Others will probably love the automatic posting and boasting ability, but I prefer my Twitter feed to be less encumbered. One downside of logging in with your personal accounts is that the app tries to push notifications and announcements to your feed after my first badge got posted on to Twitter, I learned how to turn off these notifications so it is no longer an issue. The app allows you to find friends through Facebook, Twitter, and FourSquare contacts as well as entering in people's names moreover, you can search your friends' friends lists for others that you might have missed. The information can also be accessed in a feed (see below) such that you can see what and where you and your friends have been drinking and whether there is a beer or bar that you should make note of. In essence, you can enter beers, rate them zero to five stars (with half star increments), make tasting notes, and enter a location (if away from home base) for your own personal drink diary. I have really only used some of the features on Untappd and will mention the others that perhaps some of you will find useful too. Here is my impression after trying it out for 6 weeks. I believe that I first learned of it through a friend's tweet announcing a beer he drank, and I decided to download the app and give it a shot - especially since there is very little risk in trying out a free application. Besides the OnTheBar app for mobile phones, the next most useful drink-associated app I have found has been the Untappd beer one.
