### 4/5 — Update the app.

*2023-11-13*

Would like to see the ability to create Lists. That way I can separate my spirits by type and blends.

### 5/5 — Perfect for recording all of my tasting info

*2023-06-08*

Does what I need for looking up bottles and saving them so I can go back and check them out.

### 1/5 — Absolute joke

*2022-11-13*

Now that this switched over from Whisky Suggest, I can’t even sign in. Get nothing but error messages.  I’ve lost months and months of inventorying my collection. Not happy

**Developer response:** Hello again! We'd like to help you log back in and know that it's been a while since we've heard from you. If you can reach out to us at contact@abovapp.com, we can help you get back in to your whiskey.

### 3/5 — New version not working

*2022-11-13*

Will not go past log in

**Developer response:** Hello again! We haven't heard from you in a while, but are still willing to help you log in! Please send us an email to contact@abovapp.com so that we can get it sorted out. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2022-10-08*

Love being able to manage my whisky collection. Know what I have, what I like, and what I want.

Highly recommend.

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2022-07-06, version 2.19.2*

App crash when I try to search something. iPhone mini 12

### 5/5 — New owners

*2021-05-14*

It’s a great idea! If the new owners can continue to develop and make this app as cool as untapped but for whiskey they will have the best app out there!

### 1/5 — Paused indefinitely. No more whiskies will be added

*2021-01-28*

Downloaded app after Whiskey Advocate suggested it (article from 2018 but updated in 2020). Signed up for emails. Then was allowed to peruse site. Immediately saw a statement that all work is “paused” on site and no new updates or whiskey additions will occur. No time frame given but sounds like no plan to update ever. So I uninstalled app and tried to unsubscribe from the four sets of emails I had signed up for. The unsubscribe button did not work. Actually, it wasn’t even a button, just large text with no further information.

This was the best option in that article, too bad it is defunct. But really annoyed that I went through the set up only to learn that the site is at a standstill. The site status should be shown from the get go, to give consumers the option to back out.

### 5/5 — Great Scotch Whisky Research App

*2021-01-22*

I had be surfing the web for info on Scotch and it was wasting time and interest. This app has it all in one place. I am just beginning my journey and this app is absolutely fantastic. Try it!!  100% 👍😎

### 1/5 — I would NOT suggest this app

*2021-01-17*

At first the app worked great. It had great content and user friendly. 
Now and for the last several months issues have started happening and nothing was fixed. The main issue is anytime you try to input text you can’t see what you are typing...it remains invisible. So you have no idea what you writing about the whiskey is spelled correctly or makes sense. It’s only when you save everything and submit the review or description does the text show up. 

I tried a few time to contact the developer and both times the email delivery failed. So I guess they are not supporting this app anymore.
