In its simplest form, you can use Untappd for beer ticking, but if you ignore some of its greater features, you could be missing out on just how to use Untappd to its fullest potential. Now that we are in the age of smart devices, Untappd lets you keep track of the beers you have tried on your phone. Untappd is an application that came about from the old British tradition of “Beer Ticking.” Beer ticking is the simple act of trying a beer and writing down in a notebook that you had that beer. The apps are free, and ready to download in Apple’s App Store and the Android Market.If you call yourself a beer fan, beer enthusiast or just plain beer lover, then you probably have heard of the phone application Untappd. It’s bound to come in handy when you end up in a dive bar where your cell service is as iffy as the local boozehound’s liver. One of the biggest improvements as far as the user experience goes is the bump in speed - navigating within the app seems much faster because you’re not left sitting there waiting for a mobile webpage to reload. Users can now upload their bar photos on the fly, and all of your friends’ smarmy beer judgments will route to the new notification center. The new apps add some much-needed mobile functionality into the mix. Though functional, the web app only lets you work with certain parts of the Untappd service, like checking in your brew and searching for similar beers. Their web app has been letting users share their brews of choice since 2010, but the company has just announced that they have released a pair of native apps for iOS and Android in time for the weekend.Īccording to the company’s blog, they’re big fans of the mobile web, but “there does come a time when you reach the limitations of the mobile web and have to move to a native platform.” Understandable. The beer fanatics at Untappd are at it again.
