Beer Simulator – iBeer is more a game than an app. This app is really easy to explain and also quite easy to use, as it has only one purpose. Once you run the app, your phone’s display will turn into a beer glass, essentially. It will be filled up with digital beer, and that beer will move as you tilt your phone. The developer did its best to make it look as natural as possible, to mimic real life.

This app will mimic bubble effects, fluent foam animation, and liquid that moves according to physics rules. You can tilt the phone as you would a regular glass in order to see the beer slowly go away. You can easily “pour” another glass, simply shake your phone, and that’s it! We’ve seen other, similar apps in the past, but this one gives out the most realistic showing, at least from the ones we’ve tried.
