Won’t go away
I downloaded it, and once I learned what it was (a gateway to continually bug me to spend money with them), I deleted it. But despite my attempts to permanently delete it, it keeps reinstalling itself on my device without my permission. Developers: Please disable this facility!! When I delete your app, it’s because I do NOT want it! Don’t keep putting it back on my phone!! 😡👎Show lessslgam

Hi there - no app can magically reinstall itself on a device. This is a user problem and we wish you the very best in your culinary (and tech) journey.Didn’t work for me
Perhaps I didn’t give it a chance but initially, to set up an account, I needed to sign in with Google or Apple, not with my email and unique password. Then when I tried to select a wine, I received different varieties, no idea of cost or specific brands. I was not planning on a fee based app to select my wine. Perhaps I have missed the point.Show lessGrae212

Hi there, thanks so much for your feedback and we're sorry you had trouble signing in to the app! Our team is working hard to launch sign-in via email soon, among other very exciting features. For now you can either navigate the app without signing in, or use your google mail or apple mail. Stay tuned as we know this is important to you and our users! As for the recommendations, we offer/suggest varieties and styles of wine to help guide you, no matter if you are shopping, browsing your personal collection, or perusing a wine list at a restaurant. However we do offer recommendations of bottles, with images and prices, with retail stores in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta (and expanding to more locations soon! stay tuned for more on that as well :) - And using the app in getting recommendations is free of charge as well! Happy to hear more feedback you have anytime directly at community@somm.io.Duck is POULTY. It is not meat.
Some odd findings in the pairing with food section, it would benefit from some attention as I suspect this what many of us were seeking when we installed this app.
For example, it is mandatory to have your poultry with some sort of sauce: a simple roast chicken or turkey cannot be paired with wine… scotch is is, then.
The poultry section would also benefit from offering a few groupings, similar to the meat section. Chicken/turkey, goose/duck, ostrich/sandhill crane etc.
Oh wait, the meat section is where you find duck. Well, maybe when pigs can fly they will put it in the poultry section. But it will then require a sauce, as a simple roast pig will not fly (so to speak).
As with poultry, roasting the meat called duck is not an option, but “raw” is! Ok maybe duck carpaccio, but how common is that vs a nice roast bird.
That said, most of the recommendations are solid, and a few are bordering on inspired, like vinho verde with shellfish, nebbiolo with grilled red meat, and viognier as top choice for buttery sipping wine. And Beaujolais with chicken cacciatore - surprisingly nice! So the sommelier clearly knows their stuff… maybe just bring in a chef for a consult on structuring the food side.
Overall a good early effort, my whining notwithstanding (no pun intended of course).Show lessPa Sword

Great to hear you're enjoying it so far!Cool concept
I like the idea. I’m using it mostly for LCBO recommendations. There’s some degree of integration but not fully. eg. prices don’t always align and the app doesn’t seem to know whether that bottle is actually in stock or not.~R~H~
