## What is Cheezus?

You're here because you love cheese. That is not in question. This is where Cheezus can help you. 

If you're looking to learn more about some of your favourite cheeses, or find new cheeses that you might like, we have your back. 

If you're here to find out what pairs best with your favorite cheese, we've also got your back. 

Whether it's trying to identify a cheese using the app, or searching our ever growing collection of cheese, Cheezus will help you find what you're looking for. 

For us cheese is more than just something delicious, it's the story behind each and every cheese created; the producers, the cows, the land, the story. That's the magic. 

Each cheese tells its own story and we want to share that story with you. 

Learn more about cheese, it's history, it's story, as well as finding other cheese you might like, similar to your favorites. 

Find pairings that go well with your favorite cheese; Should I have a glass of sparkling wine with this Brie? Oh you most certainly should! 

Add a bit of pear chutney and some multi-grain bread and you're in cheese heaven. 

The Cheezus app will try and identify your cheese for you, but it is learning, so if it's not correct, simply correct it and it will learn. So many cheeses for it to learn in the world.

Our mission at Cheezus HQ is simple; help cheese lovers learn more about cheese, help us all discover more cheese from artisan producers and ultimately we're on our way to help you buy cheese directly from the app. 

Stay tuned for this....

Join us on Facebook or Instagram to keep up to date with all our updates to the app.

New features and cheese being added all the time. If you have a suggestion, or cheese to add you can do so through the app, or contact us through either social or our contact on here. 

Spread the cheese love!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-08-09, version 0.1.0*

With all the improvements of AI, I cannot understand why is this bad, it’s a real shame

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-01-13*

Must take photo to add cheeses except and can’t manually add cheese without photo.

### 2/5 — Good idea poorly executed

*2024-12-30, version 0.1.0*

It feels like the app is built by people who like cheese but have no idea how to build an app. I can see how the cheese lover might have said they want to be able to do x y and z in the app, but it’s not executed well at all. 

I wish it were the Vivino of cheese, but so far it’s just a concept that doesn’t live up to the claim

### 1/5 — Cheezus app

*2024-04-05, version 0.1.0*

What a terrible experience. The Vivino or cheese - no you are miles away. I registered, and tried to sign in. Apparently with the wrong password! Now I can’t change even though I know it’s right. No automatic completion of the form etc. a lousy use experience. I hope the dragon who invested in it sorts it out. It’s terrible.

### 1/5 — Nothing Like Vivino

*2024-02-04*

We love trying new cheeses and just like wine, it depends a lot on the maker.  This app will only tell you what type of cheese it is.  Not the brand.  We’ve had spectacular cheddars and then there’s the basic grocery store brand.  We were hoping for an app that would catalog brands, offer rating options and personal notes…well like Vivino as advertised in the description.  Nope. Took one photo and it told me it was cheddar. Well no kidding! I got that off the label when I bought it.  Deleting app now.

### 1/5 — :(

*2024-02-02, version 0.1.0*

It didn’t know any of the cheese I searched and then wouldn’t let me add them.

### 5/5 — Really interesting idea

*2024-02-01*

Love the concept behind this app and its pretty cool.

Few questions:
Would LOVE a way to save to favorites and rate cheese / make notes. I see the favorites area but can’t figure out how to use it. I might be dense her but not seeing a way.

Would love to add cheese into here too. I purchased a lot of Murray’s cheese and would love to have a personal cheese area I could upload images too and rate myself. I have a note pad but it’s kinda hard to recall it all.

### 1/5 — it doesn’t work at all

*2023-03-02*

if i could give it 0 stars i would. i kept telling me all kinds of cheese were bleu cheese and swiss and i know they are not. it couldn’t even identify mozzarella?? was very disappointed

**Developer response:** Hey man, It uses machine learning so it has to try and learn as much as it can. The photo makes a difference & light, too. If it is unsure it guesses - If you correct the machine learning, it will learn and improve each and every time. I'm sorry your experience wasn't positive. I built this just myself because I love cheese. I have collected over 200k images of cheese so far but rely massively on submissions from people like you to help the machine learning learn.

### 1/5 — So far hasn’t got one right

*2022-10-22, version 0.1.0*

I was really excited by this app and conceptually it’s awesome however it’s knowledge of cheese is very poor. 

I understand it’s still learning however when the cheese isn’t recognized you should be able to match your photo to the name of the cheese but is used the old phone of the cheese so now it’s confused with a photo of rochebaron named godminster truffle vintage cheddar! 

Great idea but needs a lot of work.

### 2/5 — It offers nothing

*2022-05-25, version 0.1.0*

This app is functionally bereft, offers no assistance with ratings or reviews, limited database. 

Falsely promoted as the Vivino of cheese. It most certainly is not.
