I mainly use it for the "nearby" feature. It won't sync my ratings anymore, the last beer shows in April. But I can enter a new rating and it uploads it to the site.

The app is officially unsupported. There may or may not be a single line of code pushed to enable connection and a transfer of ratings to the site.

This sucks big time. Erics App is still way better than the official app. Forcing us to use the latter reassures me about not renewing premium anymore.

I am disappointed as Eric's app is still streets ahead of the official one right now

Works like a charm for me, use it to rate almost every day. But I haven't upgraded to the latest version with the crappy nag about upgrading to the new shit. But given their recent login issues, I won't be logging out for sure...

damn not doing anything for me, and got 50+ off line ratings :-(
and yeah its way ahead of the official app. Untill the Official app search function works, and it has ability to do off line ratings, its useless to me.

the search is the biggest issue though.

Ok, ive worked out a way to get all your ratings/ offline ratings into a csv file from Erics App


But it involves installing 3 pieces of Software on your PC.
If people are interested i can write this up.



though now ive done that , ive discovered signing out and back in fixed my issus. just wasnt prepared to sign out as late time i did that lost access to seeing the offline ratings

it was indeed a good app. I miss it. And the nearby feature was amazing. Didn't need a big VC to make a worthwhile app.

I still use Eric's app. Works as good as ever, but sometimes I need to click on the 'My Friends' tab if I get the 'No Connection' error. I had to log out and log in again once a few weeks ago. I love this app as it allows me to rate offline and upload later.

yeah me too. but ive lived in fear that if i log out, i cant get back in, to get at the offline ratings.
Now ive solved that i will use the app as long as i can, or untill the official app gets its act together
