Crashes

When I open the app, it crashes. It says, “A server with the specified name could not be found.” If this app no longer works, then it should be removed from the App Store.

So what’s happening with Corkz?

I noticed that the Corkz app has been broken for a few weeks, unable to connect to the CellarTracker database. Are you guys working on this to fix it? I sure hope so. I love your app and your presentation of the wines.

App is dead

Have used it for years and it’s now dead. Fortunately, the database that it used was Cellartracker and you can still use that (they ask for a suggested donation).

App and website are dead! ☹️

I get a blank page and server missing message on both App an website. Is this still in business?

No longer working

It has been almost 3 years since the last update. Now when I try to open it, it says "host not found." No one responds to email. I think this company is gone. Do not buy.

A great app -- until the scanner stopped working

This used to be a great app for looking up wine at the store or in a restaurant to get community impressions.
However, you can no longer scan a bottle's barcode, and have the app pull up the wine, because the app returns the error 11:t "the scandit SDK validation failed. Make sure your app key is valid and check your account for available activations."
Multiple people have identified this problem without response from the developers.
If you don't mind typing in the wine information, which can be very difficult to get right, then the app is reasonable.

Zombie app

Seems there is no longer any development of this app. Scan feature no longer works.

Not helpful

0 of the 15 bottles I scanned at the store would show up. What is this app even about?

Bar scanner does not work

Bar scanner on iPhone does not work and support does not respond with help. Used to be a good app but not so anymore!

Frustrations

While I like the scan function of adding to my cellar there needs to be the ability to add a wine name, year, etc. I am in several wine clubs and receive wines that are not released for retail. There is no way for me to add them to my cellar.

Crashes

When I open the app, it crashes. Useless.

Recent release broken

See now loading then just get black screen since last update. Same issue on phone and ipad

App is not working

The app is not working

Subpar at best

This app has the potential for greatness, yet they fail at the most basic rudimentary functions. Get it together!

Poor cellar tracking

This is my go to app when purchasing wines. The reviews of other users are usually helpful. However, the very cumbersome cellar tracking feature is not very useful. If you are primarily looking for a way to track your wines across multiple locations then you should keep searching.

Looking for a dial up speed app?

If you’re tired of your blazing fast iPhone you spent bank on to get 5g and a chip that could launch a rocket. If you long for the good old days of inserting a cd you got in the mail from compuserve promising 55 hours of free internet. If life just moved too dang fast, this app is for you! It don’t care that it’s 2021. It don’t care that you’ve curated years of wine bottles into it. Or you e gifted it to you family. The developer is over you, and well, they’re also on dialup so they can’t hear you complain because they are online and can’t pick up the phone. Please send a self addressed stamped envelope to “Bad Wine App, PO Box 999, Pueblo, Colorado”.

No longer supported... go to CellarTracker

Sadly, this app is no longer supported and there are some issues with it. I have reached out at least twice over the past 12-18 months with specific concerns, questions, & issues. Not a single response. Not sure what happened because it used to be great! Don’t waste your time here. Just go straight to. CellarTracker (the database back-end to this app.) There were features here that I liked better than CellarTracker, but I’ll just learn how to use CT from here on out.

Broken!

Paid for this app now it’s whining about some app key when scanning. Fix this!

Light app, works ok

Nothing special but not much competition out there either.

Inpossible to use in dark mode

Loved for years, but wouldn’t download it now. With the new design, all the input fields are illegible if your phone is in dark mode
