So this app sends your EXACT location and even allows options for you to get directions to someone. I just downloaded the app and all of a sudden had a “friend” added 2 states over from me. There’s no “remove friend” or “block” option, so now a total stranger can get directions to my house. This should be fixed because if the wrong people get ahold of that kind of info, it could be used for the wrong reasons (and I think you know what I mean by that). I’d love to give the app another try if the next update is safer for the users. For now, I have chosen to delete it because I don’t want a stranger to show up on my doorstep.

I loved Beer Buddy when it had a feed that you could easily scroll through to see what your friends were drinking/posting. With the new update, there is no longer an easily accessible feed to scroll through your friends’ posts. Instead, the “feed” consists of unnecessarily long animations of zooming in on a globe to the location of where your friend is posting from and then, after a few seconds, their actual post appears. So scrolling through this “feed” consists of seeing that same animation of zooming in on the globe again and again… Gone is the ability to just simply scroll through the pictures your friends are posting… Whoever thought this change was a good idea has obviously never used social media before and/or has never once thought about user experience. Who in the creative room said “you know what would be cool? forcing our users to look at a 6-second long animation of zooming in on a globe like they’re trying to find Carmen San Diego for every single post before they can see their friend’s picture. That’d be a great way to showcase how in touch we are with current social media design trends!” 🤦🏻 Please at least make the classic feed design optional for users in a future update.. until that happens, I won’t be hounding my friends to join the Beer Buddy community anytime soon.

I have loved using beer buddies with my friends. However, after a recent update I am very disappointed. I don’t like how the Home Screen works now. It used to be a feed similar to that of Instagram. Someone could post multiple times with multiple different captions. Now, you only get the chance to write one caption for a whole series of pictures you have to slide through. My friends loved the old layout because we could update each other with different posts and different captions and you didn’t miss out on anything. Please change it to where you can post multiple captions for multiple different photos instead of lumping everything into one post. This was prior to the 5.0 updates. Also, I miss seeing the map of where people are drinking. That was cool seeing how far you were from people. I really do love this app but this new interface makes me not want to use it anymore.
