    Is there any way to use an Untappd API to log my hads in BA? Seems like a long process to switch from one system to the other manually...

    There isn't, nor do we currently have no plans to integrate with Untappd.

    So, it struck me that Beer Advocate's "Hads" ratings are almost identical to Untappd's beer ratings. I searched the forums for any sort of database sharing. I found this brief exchange from a year ago, but a lot can change in a year with mobile technology so...

    Has Beer Advocate reconsidered sharing it's "had" database with Untappd? Or if a direct database share is not possible, maybe an option for users to import Untappd entries or BA Had entries from one database to the other? Personally, I find Untappd easier to log beers and I have friends on Untappd, so it's my preferred program to use. I am not going to redundantly log beers in BA too. (I stare at my smartphone too much already!) If basic "hads" are already here and Untappd's system is almost identical then maybe a little collaboration could help everyone. I know some brewers are active and monitoring reviews on Untappd, so teaming up could also help them.

    No. We have not reconsidered. We still have no plans to integrate with Untappd.
