BeerCounter 3 Features

BeerCounter provide comprehensive list of feature in order to track all the important details and to be easy to use.

Pub Session Details

App
  • Pub Name

    Selected pub name is shown on top of the screen. You may or may not select pub, its up to you. When pub is selected, it tracks your bill and shows the menu of all offered drinks in that pub. Pub can be selected by Select Pub button when there's no session or by just pushing Add Beer

  • Tactical Display

    This section shows the most important aspects of a session and allows precise tracking.

    • Traffic Lights on the left

      Based on your settings of target BAC this shows if you can take another drink safely: green means - good to go, yellow means - slow down a bit and red one is telling you to take a break.

    • Beer Name on the top

      Name (and a size and a price) of currently selected beer. This beer will be automatically added when you touch the + Beer button. Typically one selects a beer, then drink several glasses and this helps this use-case.

    • Number (plus time) in the centre

      Counter. A beer counter. Showing how many beers have you started consuming or consumed. The stopwatch next to this number shows the time from the beginning of a last beer consumption. Its often useful when you can't recall if you have already tracked that new beer or not.

    • Empty Beer Glass on the right

      Tap this when you have finished your beer. It marks the beer as consumed. It's not necessary to use this feature, it's just enough to press + Beer button. But using this functionality leads to a better BAC calculations.

    • Select Beer and Other... buttons

      The Select Beer button allows to change the selected (default) beer. The Other... button is for non-beer consumption, like shot or alcohol-free drink.

  • Session Log

    Shows all drinks consumed during current session in reverse chronological order. For each drink it shows the time when consumption has started and when it ended eventually.

  • Action Buttons

    + Beer adds new beer. The most important button. Push when starting a new beer. If beer is consumed in less then a minute a warning is displayed in order to avoid double-tracking. On the left, you can see preview of the bill, add payment or simply change a pub.

Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) *)

App
  • Infobox

    The First line shows the current blood alcohol concentration.

    The Second line shows the time future peak (if any). It's because there's a delay before consumed alcohol gets into bloodstream.

    The Third line shows an estimated time of being sober. Please note, that this time calculated is provided with no warranty as it depends on much more factors that an app can track. If there's a red date displayed, it means you are going to be sober in a different day, then today.

  • Chart

    Chart shows an estimated progress of alcohol burning process based on the settings.

  • Manual Alcohol Measurement

    If you have a device for BAC level measurements, you may adjust the computed level by touching this button. It allows manual entry of current BAC. Please note, that it is important to avoid any drinks at least 20 minutes before an actual measurement from breath.

  • Android Exclusive Feature

    Due to limitations of Apple AppStore this feature is not available of the AppStore. If you'd like to obtain an iOS build with this functionality, please contact me using Contact form.

Cloud Pub and Drink Database

App
  • Sharing Public Data
