Leave a Review Pocket Wine Pairing
  • Dinner Party Success Partner

    This is an essential tool when deciding my dinner party menus and getting the best food and wine pairing. I have learned so much of how to decide what to look out for and don’t even think about buying a wine without using this now. It’s flexibility is fantastic. If any tiny improvement I would love to have more help with dessert wines and pairings and how best to serve, room temp or chilled etc.

    Thank you for such a positive and informative review of the app. Good wine pairings make such a difference and fortunately it’s not “Rocket Science”, although many people seem to think it is. An understanding of wine styles and some basic rules is all it takes. Your comment on dessert wines and pairings is appreciated and noted. In relation to serving temperatures there is a section in the app’s Glossary under the heading “Serving Temperatures for Wines”, which you might find helpful.
  • In restaurant or at home

    Excellent app to have while dining out or at home to decide on the perfect wine. Syncs seamlessly between phone and pad to log your cellar contents.

    Delighted you find the app’s food pairing advice and recommendations helpful. The cellar feature is something we are very proud of, and glad to read that you are using it to sync your wines between your devices. Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to review the app.
  • Disappointing customer service

    I downloaded this app to help me with wine(obviously), because I’m in the business I wanted something I could use as a reference for work. I tried to purchase the app for $3.99, so I could have access to everything. Unfortunately it doesn’t prompt me for purchase, initially I assumed it was a problem on my end ie credit card expired, wrong info, or my settings were off for in app purchases. It wasn’t any of those things. So I contacted Apple thinking something was wrong on their end, after trouble shooting we discovered it wasn’t them either. So I sent an email, over a week ago, to this company to see if something was going on on their end. Crickets. No one has reached out to me about getting this app, and I’m seriously disappointed. Which is unfortunate, as the other reviews have said, it’s a useful tool. But it isn’t all that useful unless you buy it, so I’ll be getting something else.

    So sorry to hear of your issue. Unfortunately we have no record of your support request. We pride ourselves on customer service and answer 95% of requests within 24 hours. Our communication with Apple on this issue is still ongoing. As most users have no problem upgrading to the premium version of the app, Apple have suggested that the issue is likely with user’s devices. However, we suspect that the issue may be related to iOS software update 13.5.1 as many developers have reported similar issues with this update. If you contact us by mail at support@wineparadigm.com we will be happy to provide you with more information.
  • Lots of Uses

    For such a cheap cost, this app offers everything I need - and more. My basic need was a good overview of the major grapes, but the fact it included food pairing made it even more useful. The wine cellar facility also means I don't need to use another app for that. A well thought out idea.

    Thank you for an excellent and well considered review of the app. We are delighted you are enjoying its many features and finding them so useful. The app is designed to be easy to use, informative, educational and as a journal to enable you to manage your cellar and record your own adventure in wine. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
  • Terrific App!

    This is perfect pocket wine guide. Food pairings alone will make you a fan immediately. Highly recommended
  • Great wine app

    I recommend this app to all my servers and bartenders. If you are in the restaurant biz, or just love wine, you will love this app.

  • Really Good Wine App

    This is a really well written, detailed app with suggestions for pairings of wine and food. It is a bit North American in tone but otherwise close to flawless at what it sets out to do. Well worth the space on your phone.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your well-considered and positive review. The app is indeed quite detailed – with more content than two average sizes novels – and we have tried to make the information as easy to access as possible. It takes time and effort to write reviews and we really do appreciate you comments, which will be very helpful to other wine enthusiasts. Cheers!
  • Excellent Wine App

    Love the ease of this app. Food pairing is a bonus.

    Developer Response

    We are delighted you like the app. One of our priorities is to ensure that it is easy to use, so that users can enjoy navigating the content and all of the wines they have saved to the app. Thank you for taking the time to share your views on the App Store. It is greatly appreciated.
  • Excellent app

    The best wine app out there, and great support too.

    A wide range of useful features, including knowledge about wines / grapes / styles, pairing, and to keep track of owned wines.

    The app name doesn’t do it justice

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your excellent review and we are delighted you are enjoying the app. We strive to make the app accessible and valuable to all, from the wine novice to the expert. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
  • Poor value

    I can’t believe I got charged 3.00 for this app. It still does not have a comprehensive list of grapes and does not include any wines for pairing with desserts.

    It is a half hearted attempt at trying to look like it provides an entire vault of knowledge, when it doesn’t even come close.

    Do not waste your time or your three bucks.........

    Very sorry you feel this way about the app, which has taken thousands of hours to develop. The app includes comprehensive information on 110 grape varieties and blends. The content in this one section of the app alone is equivalent to at least two average sized novels and it’s all been written specifically for the app. The main characteristics of each grape variety are shown, along with a detailed description, regional information and a food pairing guide. In addition, the app also includes the following sections: Styles (definitions of each of the six table wine styles), Food (comprehensive food pairing information and advice for hundreds of meal types), My Wines (ability to add an unlimited number of your wines to the app and manage your cellar), My Taste (unique taste profiling tool to understand your taste preferences), Places (index of wine regions and appellations) and a large Glossary of wine terms. And all of this is available for a one time only cost of $3.99 - there are no monthly or annual charges and you don’t have to log in to use the app - we do not collect any personal data. We believe the insights contained within the app, especially with regard to table wine styles, will transform a users understanding and enjoyment of wine. We engage with users every day who absolutely love the app. Perhaps, if you spend some time exploring the app, you might change your mind. Either way, we hope you continue to love and enjoy wine.
