Untappd is a social networking service that allows its users to check into beers as they drink them, and share these check-ins and their locations with their friends.[2] Untappd also includes functionality that allows users to rate the beer they are consuming, earn badges, share pictures of their beers, and automatically suggests similar beverages.[3][4]
At present, Untappd can share checkins with Twitter and Facebook accounts of its users, and can pull in locations from Foursquare.
On January 17 2014 it was announced that Untappd surpassed the 1,000,000 users mark.[5]

Badges
As you check in different beers you also achieve different badges. These badges are divided into beer badges, venue badges and special badges. Beer badges can be how many beers you had(example 100, 500, 1000), 5 different from one country, 5 of a type like lager or wit, or it can be 6 check in of one beer. Venue badges are if you check in locations like different bars, different bars in one night, sport venue and so on. Special badges you got if you check in beer on special days like Christmas, new years eve, or Untappd's anniversary.
History
On January 15, 2016, Untappd announced that it would become a subsidiary of Next Glass, a beer & wine rating and suggesting application.[6][7] Both companies indicated their applications will remain independent, but will benefit from increased data integrations.[8]
