    Nice, but i wish the back button would go back to search results after viewing a beer from a search.

    On iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.2.

    I like the web app overall. Small complaints, but they do prevent me from preferring the web app over the site.

    The active search field is very nice. I do think, however, there should be a search button or field at the top at all times; kind of a pain to hit the menu button then hit search.

    How do I read the "Bros" review(s)? Other than manually finding it by going through all the user reviews.

    Needs to be optimized for iOS 7, with the ability to go to the previous page by swiping from the left side of the screen to the right.

    I'd be a very happy customer if those improvements were implemented. Thank you for all the hard work!

    Just to ask, could we be looking forward to BeerAdvocate in phone Apps for iPhone and Android ?

    I believe that is the plan but with it in Beta, they are just providing it as a mobile site until it is ready to go.

    It should work, if you visit the mobile URL using a browser on your WindowsPhone.

    Few things I noticed. Maybe mentioned before, maybe not. (ios 7.0.3 iphone 5s)

    1) On a multipage forum post. If the little "page" dropdown happens to align with it being right over the username of who posted a comment. Tapping on the dropdown actually makes the user profile pop up.

    2) The page dropdown only shows so many pages, then the last page. So it sometimes will look like
    1,2,4,5,6,7,8,10. Which just looks odd.

    While the mobile app works as I would expect, I am hoping for something totally different. Think Yelp or Urban Spoon.

    I want an app that pulls up a map and shows all places near me that are serving craft beer and their ratings. You have the data, is integration into a map possible?

    This is planned and we're playing around with mapping now.

    http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/map-mobile-places-sneak-peek.100175/

    Go to Places and then select Nearby. You'll need to have your GPS or WiFi enabled depending on your phone.

    It's not allowing me to send a BM reply on the mobile site. Is anyone else having that problem?

    It should. I just gave it a test a moment ago. Email us with more info; browser and any other related info that might help us troubleshoot. Thanks.

    I was using google chrome on iOS 7 and it still wouldn't allow me to send replies. I switched to Safari and now it's working for me. I would be interested to see if anyone else had the same issue.

    Been enjoying the webapp, however biggest annoyance is not being able to resume whatever I was doing when leaving the app...I'm constantly trying to retrace steps after answering a text or email
