Every 1-2★ review we fetched. Use the copy button to grab them all for your own analysis (paste into ChatGPT/Claude with a prompt like "summarize core user problems, group by theme, ignore bugs, focus on missing features").
zero stars. Not very smart at identifying wines. My first scan it completely mis-identified the wine, and there is no way to correct it and tell it the RIGHT wine to rate it or find a store. This seems so basic, otherwise what should you do when it finds the wrong wine again?
It still needs a lot of improvements.

requires an additional account and shares all your data
can't read a lot of labels. very disappointing
Searching for whiskey using a filter within 20 miles of my zip code, but 95% of the results are thousands of miles away across the country.

Bait
1st bottle I searched, it seems as if couldn't find.
this had been a useful resource. They now charge the user to see local availability. it's become pretty useless unless you are willing to pay for pro service
The location data is awful. Apparently, no matter what you search for, if you don't live on the east coast, or CA, there are no stores near you. I even did a search for Jack Daniels in Texas, closest stores were in AL and FL, lol. If you don't live on the east coast, or in CA, this app is useless to you.
It's time to say goodbye. This used to be a great app I used it almost everyday until the PRO version was out rendering this app to became a waste of bytes in my phone's storage.
Waist of time. Gave me three different wines from a clear pic. All 5 were wrong.
Wasn't what I was looking for
The prices are better at any local store that sells wine and no shipping cost. This is a useless app.
lost hundreds of bottles from my list when I got a new phone....not happy at all!!
It's quite impressive... that this app never founds the wine you took the photo. It doesn't even come close. GARBAGE.
The location tool doesnt work after the first time! Very annoying and kill the purpose of the app. The message says: "location update failed"
I contacted 10 shops from the app that all showed a specific brand in stock. Every single one said they don't have any stock. Waste of time.
You have to have and account to rate ... Non-starter!
Review pop-ups are annoying, enjoy 1 star
Rubbish.... Can't find hardly any wines I've typed in, yet Vivino has everything I've ever looked for... Happy to stick with Vivino. Poor looking app as well...
What is updated? Is one supposed to take your word for it? How about privacy?
It doesn't work for the US anymore. I don't get any results for searches in the US.
They've made changes in the UI that make the marketplace parto of it complete garbage. Good to findo info on wines, terrible for buying wines.
A Google search was more helpful
Didn't find any wines.
Couldn't find the bottle of wine, Google found first go🤣🤣
The main problem with this app is that, for it to be properly useful, payment of a monthly subscription (GBP7.99) is required. I find that far too expensive and will use Vivino instead.
Not worth downloading! You have to pay to use any of the useful features and the cellar liat, which is why I wanted to download, has only a 25 bottle limit...
vivino searcher is incomplete and results are not specific
98% of the time it cant find a simple wine
The photo search option is broken. Every single bottle I take a photo of comes up empty. Text search works. Edit: in response to the developer, I will send you a screenshot of my search history in the app.
None of the vintages are updated so you get tricked into excepting a different vintage
Good if you know exactly what you are looking for, but missing too many features for me to really be usable: 1. Inventory doesn't include stores I normally shop at such as Trader Joe's, Sprouts or Costco. 2. No feature to recommend a wine similar to one I like or with certain qualities at a price range and location I specify. For example, show me highly rated wines under $30 that I can buy within a 10 mile radius that are considered light and perfumed red wines.
Can't use in landscape orientation on android tablet and phone (samsung)
