Saw it in Elwoods in Forster Street, Galway the other day. Although not even a free pint could entice me to drink that stuff.

Won't work on WM in case anyone is still using that OS.

Need to upgrade to iOS 4.1...

Have the phone jailbroken so don't know if it's worth the hassle just for a free pint or two.

Jailbreaking / unlocking is still fairly easy up to 4.2.1 afaik. Unsure if you can unlock yet if you go above 4.2.1 though!

Wonder if you could go on a pub crawl if you have a bunch of sim cards:D I have 4 or 5 sims I picked up for free here and there.

Hey OP, I thought it sounded like a good thing too, but the reviews on the App Store slate it.... apparently it's very buggy, giving you blank screens etc. Sounds like they need to work on it a little first.

Seems to work okay for me (so far) on Android 2.3

Seifer

Seems to be working okay on my Nexus One. Only reached 14 degrees at noon though

fermeen

Warm enough for €1 off in galway at the moment.
The pub finder shows me no pubs though.

JohnK

Theres a thread in the Beer & Wine & Spirits forum too but from what I can see no ones got the pub finder to show any pubs. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056251527

NUIG College bar seem to be doing it.
From their Facebook:

Bud Ice Cold Index // Visit your phone’s app store or free text “INDEX” to 50400 // I think it might be hot enough today to get a €1 off!

seemingly it takes the temperature reading at midday only so if it gets warmer later then you're screwed, bit of a jip really

Buck

I sent the text ' index' to 50400 but nothing happened, not even an auto reply:(:confused:

Unless you know where/when the reading is measured and get there a little earlier

Temperature supposed to hit 20 degrees in the West tomm, so free pints?

jt69er

all pubs with Bud Ice are participating

alibabba

On the android market site, when you down load the app, it tells you the pub locator isn't working yet. A bit fact launching this and it still work in progress .

Aha i would never drink that stuff but it would be great when you are in a round with a mate:D

seanybiker

I installed it and entered my date of birth and then it tells me to ring customer care. Surely 28 isn't to young for a beer

We'll need a fecking heatwave in Donegal to get a €1 off a pint:rolleyes:.

Got me free pint in the clonsila inn last night. Nice and cold lounge staff said that the scammers had already tried it on with them earlier.....

Someone got their pint, took a screen snapshot of the voucher confirmation page, sent the pic to another lad and he tried it too. she copped the fact that there was no countdown timer on the screen and told him to piss off.

Doesn't take them long, does it

Tried to get my free bonus pint yesterday. Had a argument with the bar staff that it was too cold. FInally got them to agree it was a free bonus point and redeemed it. Put it code and please wait screen showed for 20 minutes. In the end paid for the pint but my friends one worked so they gave me another pint free .

The Oval on Abbey Street (Dublin) is taking part. The barman put me onto it...unfortunately I don't have a smartphone.:(

1. Get your free introductory pint
2. Delete the app
3. Reinstall
4. Accept re-registration at prompt
5. Get your next free pint
6. Proceed to step 2

I love flaws in these promotions

Grumpypants

I just wish they would get the pubs sorted. Even put a list on the website ffs.

Aint life good captain:) It's a hit and miss app TBH. Attempting to reinstall a pals app for the third time. No luck on even his first freebie. I've just received my third. He'll kick the sh1t out of me if I attempt a 4th in this pub. Ah well, just have to plan a crawl now;)

It says it's 12 degree in Dublin on the Budweiser index. It's roasting. My phone says 16. Where are they getting their reading from?

JohnK

They take a temp reading at noon (probably on top of a mountain or something ) so its not the temp at the time you go to the bar
