#12Funny app idea. I'd say that if you need this app, you've got a serious drinking problem.
Well this is intended for sharing tabs between large groups, rather than you counting your long night of an alcoholic spree.
The only thing on your website that suggests that is this brief sentence "just pay for what you had".
If I saw my friend taking out this app and being a miser about something like this, I'd probably not drink with them again. Hell, I wouldn't drink with myself again if I pulled out this app. I seriously can't imagine someone using this in a social setting and not being ridiculed for it.
Could you imagine at the end of the night, pulling out your phone and saying... "hey everyone, look, I only drank this much and I'm not going to put any more money towards the whole tab."
Most of the time, the people who would even care about the tab are the people who aren't drinking! Why would they even need this app?
Really, I hope my friends are honest enough to put their share of the tab up or suck it up and just pay a bit more knowing that the next night of drinking maybe they save a bit. It all evens out in the end between friends.
Spending time and money implementing ideas like this are exactly why we are in a bubble right now. If someone is going to pay $0.99 for this app, but be worried about paying too much for drinks in a group setting, something is really wrong with that person.

#13As nice as it's presented, I can't imagine going on a night out with my mates and spending more time keeping an app on my phone up to date. I'd be too busy getting drunk and enjoying myself to be arsed about what drinks I had and how much they cost.
I'd say it was a solution in search of a problem. And the better alternative, I would say, is to not share your tab if you're a bit of a penny pincher.

#14The presentation here is nice but it doesn't fit the reality of social drinking, as other commenters have noted. Long nights out involve free-flowing liquor and some give-and-take in buying rounds, sometimes eating a loss, sometimes getting many free drinks.
Drinking is about loosening up. The use of this app would seemingly inhibit that.

It seems like you got downvoted but you're pretty much on the dot. The people I go out drinking on long nights with are friends and we're all fairly honest. A lot of nights that I go out with non-friends, those people are either taking care of the tab or I've decided to take care of it. The first impression created by pulling out an drink-accounting app will probably not be a good one.

On the very few occasions I go out in groups large enough to make getting a round in difficult, we'll either go separate, break into smaller rounds, or just put a certain amount into the kitty at the start of the night.
Plus, in a large round, who can ever remember what everyone ordered and put it into an app?
Nice looking and all that, but there's no problem here to be solved by an app.

#17Do you go out and drink much? Seems nice but in the night life the last thing people are going to be doing is using an app to find out the cost of the drinks, then adding them in. Understand its hard enough to get a drink in crowded bars, it may help with costs, but that person may look like a cheapass with his little app. _Hey everyone my app says I didnt drink those beers and its off 50 cents, can I have the costs again to every drink i bought to I can add them into my app..... If I didnt buy a certain drink I just tell the waiter, I didnt drink that and they take it off.

#18Looks great, but agree with most points made around how folks might be perceived using this (unless in a group of finance/accountant types).
Maybe a slight repositioning as something 'practical' that considers responsible folks consume at different rates - have it know who is in the group, who is 'in' for each round (as folks consume at different rates), then when final bill comes in, it will do a proportional split of final tab based on who is in each round, (also potentially relative drink pricing if different costs beer/mixed/wine), and tipping suggestion for each based on a value you set (18% / 20% / ??). Then app is more friendly to the group, and benefit is you don't overpay/overtip individually or as a group when maybe not thinking clearly when you settle.
You could even add a game element on who's paying the round, or based on random, ongoing bets, ??

Actually, I think it would be a good idea to go drinking with someone who uses this app. Since they'll invariably forget X number of drinks throughout the night, you can offer to settle up the next day. "See? I only had two beers."

#20I had to read this three times before I understood what it meant.
It's "nights out" not "night outs"
