Love the app curious as to how you come up with the ABV (some craft beer is 3.2 while others can be 9.0). Any way to self submit? Also lbs conversion for those who don't know metric would be beneficial.

@martinjoe91 Thanks Joe, we have an update going to be published any soon with that fixed the metric problem. Regarding the drinks' values, for now in iOS we have fixed the list but we have pending to add the feature to create you own drinks (in Android is already working). Thanks again for writing!

@leonfhl I downloaded the app and I like it so far. I have a BACTrack already, but if I forget and leave it at home, this makes it easy. What is the difference in your breathalyzer vs. theirs, by the way? Thoughts on the app portion of the product: I like the simple interface; that is important when you're drinking! There are a few bugs I've noticed in the unit conversions. When I opened the app, it was in ml, then it was in oz, now the numbers are oz but the units are ml (1.5 ml vs. 1.5 oz). Next thing is that I'd like to be able to remove a drink if I accidentally tap the wrong one, instead of having to press play, then hit "restart", clearing all the drinks I added. You could long press on the drink you just added to remove it, I would think (in fact, I tried). After that I noticed "Hold if wasn't now" under "What Are You Drinking" header. That took me a second to realize what you meant. I need to long press to specify how long ago I had that drink. Great, important feature, but maybe some different copy (maybe it was just me)? I also like the uber, restaurants and friend options in the sidebar menu. Perhaps setting a default contact for the "friend" option would be nice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I also can't edit my weight, or calculate anyone else's BAC because I cannot specify their gender or weight, which would be nice. I also got the app to crash. I went to add a new drink and I hit the check mark without filling in any fields a couple times and it crashes. That's what causes the unit conversion issue I described earlier. These are all small things and ideas. If it stayed the same, I'd still use it. Thanks for the app!

@hellosmoore Thank for the bug report, we will try to reproduce it. Regarding the copy isn't definitely only you. We have found that almost nobody catch that feature at a first glimpse so we'll have to test other UI there. You can change gender and weight if you go to your profile (Under the default avatar in the side menu). We would like to have a better on-board process but we are short in hands right now, so that it's going to be in the road-map. Answering your BacTrack question, they have a terrific breathalyzer, they are very good with their technology so we hope to outwork them in the UX when our device is connected to the app :) Thanks for that long review and feedback, that we value more than anything, you are awesome :)

@leonfhl No problem, happy to do it! It helps us both, and I appreciate it when people do it for me, too. I realized that to get to your profile, you have to tap your picture, which is a default image, and there is no text saying "profile". I didn't even think to do that. Since I try not to drink alone, and when I go out for drinks I am with someone, having multiple profiles, or a way to quick switch between "drinkers" would be nice. Anyway, good luck!

What if you need a quick estimate of the alcohol level you are going to get while drinking? We got you backed, with our free app you can keep track of what you are drinking so the app gives you the approximate alcohol level based on the drinking timeline, weight, and gender.

We are also launching soon a crowdfunding campaign on a breathalyzer device, but we wanted to give the free app first. 😺🍻 We know is early in the week but give it a try... and go home PH!

Thanks @chrismessina for Hunting us. Hope you all give us some love and some feedback.

I tried to order the device at 50% off, but my total says "$84,546.00". I'm concerned that if the checkout amount isn't calculated accurately my blood alcohol might not be either. Hmmm.

@uvince That's if you want to pay know. The payment service we use is changing you the currency from the original $29 USD. You can always wait until live in Indiegogo and we will remind you by email :)

@uvince Hey man sorry for the misunderstanding, This is what's happening, we are from Colombia and our payment platform is showing the payment equivalent in Colombian Pesos [ $28USD => $84,546.00 COP] So is not a miscalculation... But, my bad, sorry :-/ Any way you subscribed your email and we will let you know when the crowdfunding campaign is launched. And don't worry about the 50%-off promo, you won't lose it, we will send you a special link to your email so you can get your 50%-off through Indiegogo. 😁

This is a useful tool for those who like to drink wisely. Maybe these ideas could prevent losing lives because every 2 minutes a person is injured in a drunk driving crash. Source: www.madd.org. Good luck with this nice idea.
