Update just hit iOS in the app store

Good luck with that then

 

[FoudreGuy]

The update added some things that make this better for me.

1. You can have the app default to the feed when booting up instead of the ugly menu.
2. They added back the ability to change the beer you've checked in.
3. Images are now centered and don't look like butt when scrolling through the feed.

Groups still load incredibly slow and selecting a check in location is not as intuitive as it could be.

Mine freezes a lot since the update so I think they actually made it worse.

I've noticed it always bugs out whenever there is an update, not just this time.

I'm glad they added the option to default to the news feed. I still find it's slow when loading comments/toasts. That was par for course with previous version too.

Sidebar: I find myself moving away from it slightly (perhaps because I've now been posting to the DDT? Ha). I'm over the social aspect. Several years ago, I was all about it.

But it's great for helping me remember what I can't... "Oh, I don't think I've had this!" *looks on Untappd* *tried the beer a week ago* I also like it for (trusted) friends' feedback on beers with which I'm not familiar, and to help me leave notes about things I really like/don't like.

The social aspect for me is seeing if any onyone in my area is drinking something new/cool at a brewpub and what they thought of it. That way I know where to go for a good beer. Other than that I use it to keep tabs on what I've had and what I thought of it

The only reason the app is still on my phone is because local bars use it to update their tap lists.

I haven't checked into a beer or looked at others checkins since January. It became a chore more than an joy. Not the first app this has happened to and it won't be the last either.

 

[WhalezB4Rarez]

The main reason I use it is to track what beers I've had. For the most part though I'd rather just get rid of it because it seems like most of my friends have gone full "e-peen" aspect of who is drinking what cool beer. They don't really interact unless the beer is cool or they have FOMO.

I pretty much never check comments or look at what other people are drinking for this reason. I just use it as a log of what beers I've had. I don't rate and only put in locations to put in the stupid locations pulled from Foursquare like my neighborhood pool or the local car wash.

 

[FoudreGuy]

I like to see what my close friends are drinking, and it's a great way to see what's going on around you when traveling.

I should probably do a purge of people I follow. It's getting out of hand.

Same here. I definitely use it more for a personal log of what I've had and what I thought of it. I also enjoy seeing local friends check in to cool stuff nearby, too.

Side note: your avatar is magnificent.

Did I see something about a March Madness badge or am I just imagining it? Can't seem to find it anywhere now. Wonder if the NCAA had a problem with it so they got rid of it.

No badge. Untappd does a brewery bracket that is based on checkins. This is either the second or third year.

i've checked in some pretty nice beers at Chipotle across the street

 

[scramin85]

Seems to be easier to @ friends and other users on it now. Which is a nice way to let people know you actually drank the beer they gave you.

i'm still annoyed that third party keyboards on my iphone (gboard for example) suck with untappd. It doesn't push up the screen automatically to show you what you're typing unless you're using the stock IOS keyboard...

If it makes you feel any better, gboard has issues on Android as well.

As far as I can tell, this has always been an issue, and I understand a fix for it is on the roadmap. There was a brief period in the beta of this latest version where 3rd party keyboards were just straight up disabled. I consider that way worse - I'd rather use Swype with a bug than be forced to always use the native keyboard...

I signed up on Untappd a few years ago, but just started using it on a regular basis semi-recently (144 check ins). I'll check in the first two or three checks ins of the evening, but after that I find myself not caring and end up just socializing with whomever I'm drinking with. I lurk it a ton though, and always find it fun to see what/where others are drinking.

What is beer?

What is beer?

What if someone said "what is mead". Technically that's correct too right?

Cider, too.

What is JP Ringles?

I'm going to start checking in municipal water

God, people used to pull that **** so often. That's what lead to the policy of creation bans. I'm sure it still happens, because people aren't as funny as they think they are, especially when they've been drinking.

 

[GuisseppeFranco]

What is JP Ringles?

I think I've checked in to over 80 of their "beers".

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

That just makes me sad for ppl. They get drunj and decide to enact some shenanigans. They come up with checking in muni water? SMH
