iPhone Beer apps

i've been searching for quite some time now for the perfect beer app. All i really want is an app where i can log the beer that i've tried, and either give it a simple rating, maybe read about the beer and perhaps give a detailed reaction to my beer consumption experience. Why is that so hard? A good beer app should have a large archive of beers or at the very least the option to add beers to their archive, an easy rating system, an intuitive app design, and maybe even be fun to use. To be fair, i should note i started this last month, so the apps may have updated in that time, but here's a brief  review on a few of them.

Beer Cloud  = D

A resource for descriptions of beers. The more i used it the less beers it seems to have in its database. Furthermore, there is no option for tracking or rating beers.

HopChart = C

The idea is to check in to your beer, rate it, earn points. Somehow, it just doesn't seem to flow as an easy user experience. The searches don't seem to easily produce what you're looking for. While it does have Twitter and Facebook compatibility, the overall lack of appeal to check in just makes the app forgotten.

Brewvault = B+

If this app focused more on simply what i want without all the extra jibberish, it would probably be a good app. It's too difficult to monitor my vault and even difficult within the app to make that function useful. 

The app makes it too hard to get straight to the point of reviewing a beer. If they accentuated the notepad feature and allowed you the option to rate as you add to your notebook, it would flow smoother. The event tasting tab seems like a good idea, but it could use a brief pop up note saying what the purpose is and how to utilize it. One other flaw is having to search by brewer then beer within the notepad, rather than just typing in a beer like Shiner Oktoberfest. i didn't know the brewer (Spoetzl) and without it i couldn't locate my beer right away. However, if you do know the brewer, it does have a nice drop down list of beers from that brewer. After playing with the app more, it actually all works from the search tab. You can add to notebook or review from there, either detailed or brief number ratings per category. This app does have a community section but without a link to Facebook is it really a social app? It also doesn't make it easy to see what others are saying about a particular beer.

Untappd = B+

The easiest app to jump right in. Simply click on Drink Up, search for your beer, add a location utilizing Foursquare listed locations, a comment, a quick rating, and that's it. The only downside is the lack of in depth review option. i'm a sucker for badges and this app rewards you (in badges) for drinking more. The Facebook connection allows you to see what other 'friends' are drinking and even toast them. Pretty cool.
