What to write about
- Something isn’t working Tell us your iPhone model, your iOS version and the app version (Menu → About), what you expected, and what happened instead. A screenshot helps.
- A recipe looks wrong Name the drink and what seems off. If you have a published source, include it.
- Feedback and ideas What you love, what you miss, which drinks you’d like Alfred to know.
- A privacy question Ask us anything about how your information is handled. See also our Privacy Policy.
- Purchases and subscriptions Alfred’s Bar doesn’t sell anything yet. When paid features arrive, this is where to write about them.
Please don’t send backup files unless we ask for one: they contain your bar, tastes and ratings.
Common questions
Do I need an account?
No. Alfred’s Bar has no accounts. Everything you add stays on your iPhone.
How do I move my bar and ratings to a new iPhone?
In the app, go to Menu → Your data → Export a backup, and save the file somewhere you can reach from the new iPhone, such as Files or iCloud Drive. On the new iPhone, open Alfred’s Bar, go to Menu → Your data → Restore, and choose the file. Your iPhone’s own iCloud or computer backup also includes the app’s data.
I restored the wrong backup.
Go to Menu → Your data → Undo the restore. This puts back the data you had before the last restore.
How do I start over?
Go to Menu → Your data → Reset all data, and tap again to confirm. Export a backup first if you might want your data back. Deleting the app also removes everything it stored.
Why can’t I make a drink I think I have everything for?
Alfred’s Bar matches ingredients precisely. A specific bottle counts for its general kind (Cointreau counts as orange liqueur), but not the other way round. Open the drink to see which ingredient is missing, and whether there’s a good swap.
What does Taste Match mean?
It’s an indication from 0 to 99 of how well a drink fits the tastes you’ve shared and the drinks you’ve rated. It isn’t a probability, and it never depends on what’s in your bar: availability is shown separately. It appears only when there’s enough to go on.
Are there drinks without alcohol?
Yes. Turn on “Zero-proof only” in Menu to see only drinks without alcoholic ingredients.
Drink responsibly
Alfred’s Bar is for adults of legal drinking age. Enjoy one drink well made, alternate with water, and never drink and drive. If drinking is becoming a problem, talk to a doctor or a local support service.
