A free update to the Android version of The Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA) Good Beer Guide 2012 has been released today.

This version includes a new feature called ‘My Guide’ which contains “My Favourites”, “My Visited”, “My Comments” and “My Recent Searches” together in one place making it easier to find your own reviews and which pubs you have already visited.

Other changes include corrections to locations of some pubs and various bug fixes.

You can update the app to version 2.1.3 for free using the Android Market app on your phone.

A similar update with this feature will be added to the iPhone soon.

The long awaited version of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide is now available for Android phones on the Android Market. Using the Market application on your phone search for ‘CAMRA’ and you should find it, or visit m.camra.org.uk on your phone.

It costs £4.99 (£4.25 + VAT). The Android store lets you try it out for 24 hours with a full refund if you choose not to keep it.

From 16th September 2010 it will include all the pubs and breweries from the Good Beer Guide 2011 edition to coincide with the publication of the CAMRA book. Until then it uses the Good Beer Guide 2010, but will automatically update on 16th.

The CAMRA Good Beer Guide application for iPhone and iPod Touch has now been approved by Apple and is available for download on the App Store.

There is a free 7 seven day trial after which you can purchase a 1 year subscription for £9.99 from within the application charged to your iPhone account. Unlike other e-books this is a completely interactive application that lets you find pubs from the Good Beer Guide based around a location, and includes all information from the book including complete reviews and beer tasting notes as well as maps showing the location of the pubs.

For more information take a look at m.camra.org or CAMRA web site.

The Mobile phone version of Camra’s Good Beer Guide is being demonstrated at the Great British Beer Festival this week (August 4th to 8th). The Mobile Good Beer Guide is developed and maintained by Greenius for Oxford Softworks.

At the Great British Beer Festival a 3 day no obligation free trial is being offered, and a year’s subscription to the service is available for £10.

The mobile version offers most of the content of the Good Beer Guide on your mobile phone without having to carry a big book around with you, and allows you to search for pubs near to you. The content is automatically updated if pubs change, and will automatically update to the Good Beer Guide 2010 content to coincide with the publication of the next edition.

If you are visiting the Great British Beer Festival, then please come and find us in the Camra Bookshop near the middle of the exhibition center.
