Announcing BeerSwift - Faster beer check-ins for Untappd

Untappd is an app that provides a social aspect to one’s beer drinking experience: log which beers you’ve had, connect to your friends, and see what they are drinking.  It’s a great app!  There are so many craft beers available today, making it hard to remember what you’ve had and what is good, so I mostly use it for tracking purposes.

Today, I’m officially announcing BeerSwift, an app that connects to the Untappd platform.  The main idea is to complement the Untappd experience by providing faster, easier beer check-ins.  It will be very useful for power users, tracking beer flights, and events where you taste a lot of different beers.  I’m still in the planning phase, but here are the features most likely to end up in version 1:

• Beer Queue: A simple list of all the beers you’ve been drinking. Add them as you go, then check them in to Untappd all at once!
• Multiple Check-in Options: Quick Add, Barcode Scanning (scan the beer label), and Snap Photo (take a picture of the beer & it’s automatically identified).
• Offline Support: Queue up beers then check them in later at your convenience.
• Focus on Speed: Spend less time on the phone and more time drinking/socializing.

BeerSwift is not available yet, but you can sign up for news relating to the launch here: getBeerSwift.com.  The app will be available for Android and iOS in the first half of 2015.  Cheers!
