## Newest reviews (11 of 39)

### 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.

### 4/5 — Great start

*2020-12-26*

Nice options similar to other apps who want you to pay to go pro. Great inventory control. Is a little glitchy sometimes, pressing buttons and randomly popping up saying your search couldn’t find anything while you’re scrolling your search results. 

One thing I would love is dark mode support for iOS. Some options can’t be seen.

### 4/5 — Good could be better

*2020-01-07*

Good app for tracking what you’ve tried and what you want. Could have a better tasting notes section.

### 4/5 — Best whiskey app, still room for improvement

*2019-12-20, version 2.16*

I use it as a personal diary of whiskeys i tasted and have in my collection. I would apreciate expert reviews on the whiskeys in addition to user reviews and the distillery's tasting notes. I recommend the app.

### 4/5 — Full of great suggestions

*2019-04-30, version 2.16*

What a great resource for looking for great new suggestions. Easy to use interface is very helpful. Keep up the great work.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2019-04-30, version 2.16*

A great app that helps me in when selecting a good whiskey to buy or just categorize my collection of whiskey. Good information to read from fellow whiskey drinkers right at your finger tips! I have encouraged my friends to use this app!

### 4/5 — UI doesn’t line up on the 10Xs

*2019-04-28*

Great app, has some UX issue though. Ok the 10Xs the UI doesn’t land in the correct spaces. The back button and filter buttons overlap other Apple functionality, they are too close to the top in other words. I have to tap just bellow the actual icons. Honestly it really my o my complaint for now. Keep updating!

Also you could integrate more app like usability by including swipe gestures to go back and forth.

### 4/5 — Excellent App with room for improvement

*2018-09-22*

Love the ability to keep track of collection and whiskys that were tasted. The reviews do not allow to record "finishing strength." Wishlist option is great but would be better if it could be organized based on type, grain, region, etc. It would be nice to have more social interaction with members as well.

### 4/5 — Good

*2017-09-18*

Well done,just so slow when I open it

### 4/5 — Geat concept, and improving fast

*2017-09-10*

Very useful for keeping track of whiskies already tried, and on a wishlist.  

Several bugs that I had reported via earlier reviews have been fixed by the latest version.

### 4/5 — Great app with a few problems

*2017-04-21, version 2.2*

It's a great with a incredible catalog and has a lot of options to review and keep track of your whisky. However I've experienced random errors when logging into the app, trying to write a review and trying to view my whistlist.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2022-07-06, version 2.19.2*

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

### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Unable to add Friends (Crash)

*2018-01-11, version 2.9*

App crashes reliably on iPhone 6s / iOS 11.2.1 when I try to add a friend. This makes this app almost pointless. :(

### 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!

### 3/5 — Better IOS support

*2020-12-06, version 2.17*

It could easily be a 5 star app.  Needs to be easier to add Whiskies automatically to your collection without having to go through approval process.  It could still be logged but with indicator stating approval.  Also the lack of a desktop version or an IOS version where you can download your list is disappointing.

### 3/5 — Juts some glitches

*2019-05-02, version 2.16*

Great app but I have to click anything at the very top of the screen at least 10times to get it to work.

### 3/5 — Good start.

*2018-02-18*

This app seems to be off to a good start.  The database seems to be extensive and the barcode scanner is a nice feature. A couple of features that would be useful include the ability to edit your collection and to search for friends to follow via Facebook.

### 3/5 — Promising idea but room for improvement

*2017-02-14*

The idea of an app that can recommend whiskeys based on taste profile or similarity sounds really great, but the experience can be improved. If these areas are improved, this app has much promise:

1. Search algorithm can be improved to increase the relevance of search results (try a specific name and age like Hakushu 12).
2. Frequent crashes.
3. Similarity search could be better. For example, searching for whiskies similar to Aberlour A'bunadh should yield a list of strong sherry cask whiskies, but the results are mixed. Check the similarity scoring algorithm.
4. Some whiskies appear on the database multiple times. These should be deduplicated.

Overall a good idea, but much room for improvement to be a stellar app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. Your feedback has helped us to improve the search logic quite a bit; 'Hakushu 12' now returns the results that you'd expect. The relevance of the similar results has been improved, too. 

With 30,000+ whiskies in the database, there probably are a few duplicate results, but not a lot. If you come across any, please report them to feedback@whiskysuggest.com, so we can remove them.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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!

### 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% 👍😎

### 5/5 — Awesome App for Whisky

*2019-04-29, version 2.16*

Phenomenal app where you can find all including latest whisky releases across all Whisky producing countries and regions. Even better that you review ratings from others and contribute at the same time.

### 5/5 — The only app to track your whisky experience

*2019-04-27, version 2.16*

I’ve tried a few app but this has the nicest interface for whisky tasters of all levels. There is a nice community platform and the log, search, rank, suggest and wishlist functions are wonderful.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-09-22*

This has become my go to solo app for my whisky.  I love how easy it is to use as well as the ability to see other people’s collections and ratings.  Easy to get new bottles added as well.  Great app.

### 5/5 — Great for whisky enthusiasts

*2018-02-16, version 2.10*

This is currently the best whisky app available in my opinion....and I’ve tried quite a few. 
The database is vast and it is so easy to log your own collection and even ‘tasted whiskies’.
As the app name says, ‘Whisky suggest’, you can submit suggestions that are not in the database. 
Overall, I highly recommend this to any whisky fan, experts or newbies will love it.

### 5/5 — Finally an app worth downloading

*2017-09-04*

Great app with a community of connoisseurs. Definitely would recommend this as it was recommended to me. Awesome app!

### 5/5 — Great app for whisky lovers

*2017-02-18, version 2.1*

I've tried a fair few apps to catalog my whiskys and find new ones. This is by far the best. The latest update makes it even easier.
