Frequently asked questions

How do I select other drinks than beer?

Swipe left or right on the selector to change category - swipe up or down on a drink to select a sub type within the same category.

Why can’t I set the drinking time to lower than 15 min?

The idea is that your friends get a notification when you go out drinking. Not to be notified of every beer you have. The time limit has also been set to avoid spamming notifications to friends.

However, since the community has been very persistent on lowering the time, we will accommodate this, together with a feature to disable notifications on a friend level. We are working on this.

Why isn’t my favorite drink present?

You can always create your favorite drink in The Bar!

Why can’t my friends see my location?

It’s usually one of the following:

Why don’t I receive notifications?

Drink notifications are only sent when a friend fills up from an empty glass.

You can send yourself a test notification!

On iPhone it often helps to close the application (App switcher then swipe up) and start again.

If this doesn’t work, please try logout and back in. If still not working, feel free to report it to us.

Why can’t I chat in the app?

You can send simple messages with predefined answers. We don’t aim to become a chat app, but will likely improve the current solution.

Why can’t I send a picture of my drink?

We are discussing this, but are currently focusing on other features.

For how long can my friends see my location?

Your position will be exposed for as long as the drink lasts, i.e. 15 min to 4 hours. On Android, your position is updated when the app is running in the foreground, on iOS, the position is updated only when the button is clicked. There is an I’m going home-option, that will empty your current drink, and thus stop sharing your location.

There is an “I’m going home”-option, that will empty your current drink, and thus stop sharing your location.

On Android, for friends that have lower drinking sessions than 2 hours, they will show as ‘Recently drinking’, but their position will no longer be updated.

Why are there no non-alcoholic drinks?

We are focusing on alcoholic beverages for now. And that’s why we don’t aim to include joints or shisha pipe either at the moment. However, we think the regular beer could be used for non-alcoholic beers as well.

Why can’t I check-in multiple drinks at the same time?

We will most probably solve this in a different way; like showing the last drinks a friend has drunk.

Remember - the main goal is to find your friends currently drinking!

How does the history work?

Once enabled, it will count all drinks, with a cool down period of ~10 seconds.

You can currently see your history for up to one year, but we will work on extending this.

Click an item to see the drink on a map.

Why can’t I find friends via Facebook connections?

We believe in adding friends with whom you actually want to share a beer.

Facebook friends tend to be numerous, and sometimes irrelevant.

What features are under consideration?

Here are a few:

How do I delete my account and all associated data?

If you are logged in you can delete your account and all associated data from Settings in the app. Otherwise just send an email to privacy@beerwithme.app from the email associated with your account and ask us to delete your account.
