Update broke the app
With the latest update, the app can no longer use my camera to grab labels. Just a gray screen. iPhone 16 pro max
Limited inventory
Tried 2 different bottles (Kosta Browne and Flowers). Both didn’t have it in inventory - not worth my time.
Can’t add bottles not recognized
Not worth the subscription fee. Didn’t recognize some of my bottles and the function to add unrecognized bottles doesn’t work.
No value without subscription
Useless without paid subscription
Can’t import
I have created CSV in exactly the format outlined using the outlined headers and can’t get it to import.
Missing too many wines
2008 Krug doesn’t pull up, Colgin from Napa, seriously deficient. Too bad because it looks like a sexy app but without the wines it’s like a Ferrari with no engine underneath.
Do not download

Fee
Didn’t like the fact that there is no mention of this app having a fee until after you download the app. They try to coerce you into giving them an email, which you can skip over, but then the final set-up step mentions the fee. Don’t like the deception.
Just ok
Ok but with flaws.
Looks good and decent amount of info on vintage and drinking windows. However, out of the 500 or so wines I downloaded via a spreadsheet, only about half actually were found by the app and could be verified; the rest need to be manually input (which is unlikely to happen).
It took awhile to convert the spreadsheet I use to the format required by the app so it’s disappointing that so much still needs to be manually input. I haven’t tried scanning a bottle to see how much of its information is found so I can’t comment on that.
There is also far less info in the app than in my spreadsheet. For example, grape varieties are not always listed; same with countries. There is a way to find some of that but it’s deeper in the app menu I think.
Disappointed with the food pairing suggestions, too. So far, they “narrowed it down” to between 150 and 250 of my wines for any food I picked so it’s pretty much useless.
I guess that if you don’t have a lot of wine and/or you haven’t tracked your collection until now, this app might be more useful to you.

Buggy
App is very buggy. History never loads. No way to backdate consumption info.
Good tracker with pain
This app seems to have what I need - multiple cellars and possibility to move bottles around, but it is a pain to use: every bottle I scan, I have to add manually as it is not found. Vivino can always find it, but that app has a terrible bottle management. I am still looking for a good app.
Meh…
Great conceptual idea, but the execution leaves much to be desired.
This app can be explained as follows: I give you a plethora of info and get none in the exchange.
As it stands, unless one forfeits subscription money, you offer the opportunity to volunteer market (and personal) information, and nothing is gained in return.
Unless you expand your offering in order to reciprocate something beyond being what amounts to an inventory sheet (what a basic excel sheet would do) with some fancy graphics, your efforts stand as a subpar app when compared to your competitors.
One man’s opinion.

Need more California Wines
The UI is great, but doesn’t have most of my wines in the system. Yes, you can add them yourself but then you’re missing most of the useful information.
Zero hits on my bottles
Kind of useless, actually. I downloaded and tested on five high-end California Reds, and didn’t get a hit on any of them. User interface is not clear, there’s no direction about exactly what to put in to the various fields to get a hit. You should be able to type in the vintage, select a grape, enter a name, although that field does exist, and have a designated field for a winery. The database should be able to hit on partial field entries. The database seems very heavily skewed towards European wines, and it doesn’t appear that California wines have been given much research attention by this company.
