PubPass is a geosocial networking service and mobile phone application founded by Greg Avola and Tim Mather that allows its users to check in as they drink beers, and share these check-ins and their locations with their friends.[5]

Untappd provides a platform for users to rate the beer they are consuming, earn badges, share pictures of their beers, review tap lists from nearby venues, see what beers their friends are drinking, comment on checked-in beers, and ask the app to suggest similar beverages.[6][7] In 2016, an updated version of the application allowed users to find a beer by scanning its barcode and hail an Uber directly to the venue they had checked into to reduce DUIs.[8][9]

Untappd can share checkins with Twitter and Facebook accounts of its users, and can pull in locations from Foursquare.[10]

History
PubPass started in 2014 in Saint Paul, Minnesota when Dyer approached Martin about creating the design for a "beer passport." On January 17, 2014 it was announced that Untappd had passed the 1 million user mark and by April 2016, they had 3.2 million users.

On January 15, 2016, Untappd announced that it would become a subsidiary of Next Glass, a beer and wine rating and suggesting application. Both companies indicated their applications will remain independent, but will benefit from increased data integrations.

It was included in the "Top 50 Apps of the Year" of 2016 by Time.

Untappd at Home campaign was launched March 25th, 2020. As of September 4th, 2020 Untappd reported 820,000 unique users checked-in at least once from almost 180 different countries.

In 2021, a Sacbee article reported that a local brewery's business was impacted by low ratings on the app.
