Email support@letsgetstashd.com and we will get back to you. For a bug, a short description of what happened, what you expected instead, your iPhone model and your iOS version all help.
Using the app
How does the pouring actually work?
Tilt your phone any way you would tilt a real pint — forward, back, or side to side. The liquid holds its exact volume at any angle, and it only leaves the glass once the surface genuinely clears the rim, so a tilt that could not physically pour will not empty it. Sloshing hard enough to spill counts too, because it is the same thing happening.
What does "the camera is real" mean?
The rear camera feeds the room behind the glass, live, so the beer refracts your actual table or kitchen rather than a stock photo standing in for one. The frame goes straight to the screen and is released every time — nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
What happens if I say no to the camera?
Everything else still works. The glass refracts a synthetic room instead — a table with its own grain and a beer mat — so there is still something with edges for the light to bend around, just not your actual surroundings.
What are the game modes?
Don't Spill fills your selected drink right to the brim and times how long you can carry it before a drop goes over the rim — how smoothly you walk is the difficulty. Split the Drinks, Three Levels and Custom Split all ask you to stop a pour by feel alone — at exactly half, at three checkpoints (75/50/25) in order, or at your own target; lowering the glass ends the attempt, so it has to be one continuous pour. Perfect Pour has you tilt to build a proper head from empty, scored on landing between too little (flat) and too much (overfoamed). All five are graded on what actually happened to the liquid, not a script, and all end with a result you can share.
How do I choose a drink or glass now?
The drink menu is a quick-tap grid of all nine — Lager, Bitter, Stout, Cider, Lemonade, Milk, Champagne, Red wine and White wine — rather than a row you scroll through. Whatever you picked last time is remembered the next time you open the app.
Why did the on-screen buttons used to disappear when I tilted?
That was a bug — they now only hide while you're actually drinking, not for an ordinary swirl. Settings has a toggle to keep them on screen all the time if you'd rather.
Why does upside-down mode exist?
So the picture matches however you actually find yourself holding the phone — it flips the whole scene so the notch sits by the base of the glass instead of through the middle of the head.
How does "Request a Cheers!" work?
Settings → Request a Cheers! opens your own Mail app with the details pre-filled — the name you'd like shouted out and a setting (English pub, German beer hall, Spanish tapas bar, French bistro or Japanese izakaya). The app itself never sends anything; it just hands off to Mail, the same way "Leave a review" hands off to the App Store.
Purchases
Fake Beer is a single one-time purchase — there is no subscription and no in-app purchase of any kind, so there is nothing to restore on a new phone. If you have bought it once, you can download it again from your App Store purchase history at no extra cost.
Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple, not by us: reportaproblem.apple.com.
Your data
The app collects nothing and makes no network requests of any kind. Your settings live on your device, and the camera frame is never recorded or transmitted unless you finish a game and explicitly choose to share the result. See the Fake Beer privacy policy for the detail.
There is no account to delete. Deleting the app removes everything it stored.
