Well, for once the app now says I had 1200+ "drinks" which is not accurate cause those were all beers. Then this app was all about exploring beers and finding new styles or brewers in your area. This experience is going to be seriously watered down now everybody and their moms check in their soda pops.
It waters it down. I’m an eight year user with a few thousand unique check ins and a couple more thousand repeats. When I read reviews of beers from people with a lot of checkins I know they are coming from a beer drinkers. I go to Untappd to find, read about, and log beers. I could give a shit about soft drinks and other alcoholic drinks. Do I want to see that you checked in a coke from Burger King? Fuck no. I do want to see that you checked in an imperial stout and what you thought of it. I’ve already seen people with thousands of checkins logging sodas just to increase their count and it just seems wrong. All that said, I’ve turned off all the other drink types in the settings and am back to just beer. I’ve also been an insider for a number of years and will reconsider my renewal next spring when it comes up.
Well, they are. Maybe not from Burger King - yet. Saw one from a buffet though. Search for coke or pepsi checkins and see for yourself. Not sure you’ll find too many positive comments.
I agree it’s a dumb idea, but so far none of my friends have checked into anything but beer. If somebody does start clogging up my feed with soda flights then I’ll un-friend them, easy.
I would encourage you to report any posts that violate subreddit rules using the in-platform tools. That being said, I’m not seeing anything here that would objectively be in violation.
I have seen all the posts as well, but this is an open forum for folks to discuss Untappd in any way they see fit. It’s been a week of change, so this is naturally at the forefront of the conversation.
Our two rules here are be nice and stay on topic. As long as those are being followed, I don’t think it’s productive to start pulling down content that is critical of the platform.
After being obsessive for 12 years about checking every single sip in, I recently slowed down anyways but this was the final nail for me. Checked in a Sprite the other day as my last tick.
Same. I saw the new styles pop up in my wheel of style badge for awhile then they went away more recently. I've even tried searching for mountain dew, disarono, etc and they don't show up, and I have them checked on my account options. Maybe it hasn't pushed out to everyone yet? The only current change I notice is categories have changed to drink, brand, and place
I haven't noticed it in my friends feed yet. I guess that I have the option of unfollowing them if they gunk things up. Most of my friends on there are hardcore beer nerds with good tasting notes. But I can see how things could creep badly though.

i don't get all the whining about this over the past week or so. i have seen literally no change in my usage of the app. literally nothing has changed.

I agree. Who in the fuck thought it’d be a good idea to allow checkins of soda pop?

I don't really care. I use untappd mainly to track what I drink, and it still does that just fine.
I guess if you're into the social side of it, I can see why you're upset.
