Getting started

How do I log a beer?

Tap the (+) button in the middle of the bottom bar, find the beer, rate it and, if you like, add tasting notes, a photo and the venue. Then tap "Save".

Can I log a beer I had earlier?

Yes. Pick a past date while adding it. If you've already saved it, open the entry and use "Edit" to change the date.

The beer I want isn't in the list.

Search by beer or brewery name. If it's still missing, tap "Add New" and create it yourself. We review new beers and may add them to the catalog for everyone. You can also email us.

Do I need an account?

No. As a guest, your check-ins stay on your device. Friends, comments, messages, the wishlist, the Weekly Beer Quiz and Pintmark Pro need you to sign in with Apple, Google or email. When you sign in, the app offers to move your guest beers to your account.

How does the wishlist work?

On a beer's page tap "Add to wishlist". You'll find your list in the Archive and Explore tabs, and you can get a notification when a friend has a beer from it.

Something new every day

What is the question of the day?

One true-or-false claim about beer each day. Answer it to keep your streak going and see how others answered. You can turn the reminder on or off in Settings → Notifications.

How does the Weekly Beer Quiz work?

Every Monday there are 12 new claims. You get one attempt per week; the clock starts when you tap Start, and ties are broken by time. You'll see your rank among friends and in the world. With a private account you only appear on your friends' leaderboard.

What are events and their badges?

Limited-time events such as beer days and the Style of the Month come with a short lesson and a test. Pass the test while the event is running to earn its badge. Explore shows what's coming up next.

What is the beer calendar?

Festivals, awards and beer traditions across Europe, in Explore. Set a reminder and you'll get a notification the day before.

What is the Beer Duel?

Two beers from your archive: pick the better one. Three duels a day build your own ranking, starting from your ratings.

Friends

How do I invite friends?

Use Settings → Invite friends, or the QR code icon on the Friends screen. When a friend opens your link or scans your QR code and joins, you become friends automatically. On iPhone, the app may ask them to paste the invite link after installing. You can renew your link at any time; the old one then stops working.

What is Taste Match?

A 1-minute quiz in Explore with 7 questions about flavors you like. No drinking needed. Afterwards you'll see how well your palate matches your friends', and you can invite friends to take it too.

Who can see my check-ins?

It depends on Settings → Account privacy. With a Public account, anyone on Pintmark can see your profile and check-ins; new accounts start as public. With a Private account, only your friends can see them, and you won't appear in venue leaderboards (Patron) or "Here now". The setting applies to all your check-ins.

How do I block someone?

Open their profile → menu (top right) → "Block". You will no longer be friends, and they won't be able to see your profile or entries until you unblock them.

I saw inappropriate content.

Use "Report" in the menu of the entry, comment, chat or profile. The person won't see who reported them. Our team reviews reports and acts within 24 hours where needed.

Can messages disappear?

Yes. In a chat, turn on "Disappearing messages" and choose 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days.

Venues and map

What is a "Patron"?

The Patron of a venue is the person who has tried the most variety there in the last 90 days. Score = different beers × 10 + different styles × 25, counting public check-ins only. You need check-ins on at least 3 different days. If someone is closing in on your badge, you'll get a Patron alert.

What does "Here now" mean?

After you check in at a venue, you appear in its "Here now" list for 3 hours (public accounts only).

How does the passport work?

It collects two kinds of countries: the ones where you checked in at a venue, and the ones your beers come from. Pick a venue when adding a beer to get stamps for the first kind.

Games at the table

Which games are there?

The games are just for fun. Never use them to pressure anyone to drink.

Pintmark Pro

What do I get with Pro?

No ads, three photos per entry, deep analysis of your styles and palate, Pro-only games such as spin the bottle, your own map pin and a Pro badge. It's a one-time payment, with no subscription.

I bought Pro but don't see it on my new phone.

Pro is linked to your Pintmark account. Sign in with the same account, then go to Settings → "Restore purchases".

How do I get a refund?

Purchases go through the App Store or Google Play, so refunds are requested from Apple or Google.

Account and settings

I'm not getting notifications.

Check that notifications are allowed for Pintmark in your phone settings, then choose what you want to hear about in Settings → Notifications. Reminders are limited to one a day; comments, cheers and messages always come through.

How do I change the language or theme?

Settings → Language: English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Español, Português, Nederlands, Polski, Čeština, 日本語, 中文 and 한국어, or your system language. Settings → Appearance switches between light, dark and system theme.

Is there a home-screen widget?

Yes. It shows a daily beer fact and your question-of-the-day status. Add it from your phone's widget list.

How do I delete my account?

Settings → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account, check-ins and photos. You can also request it by email. Details: Privacy Policy.
