### 2/5 — Great content terrible search facility

*2026-06-26, version 2.0.0*

App is let down massively by it’s poor search facility. You type in the name of a wine and the auto correct turns into some nonsense. Make the slightest spelling error in a wines name and you get no useful search result - just 14,000+ wines from the database.

### 2/5 — Limited functionality

*2026-06-19, version 2.0.0*

I enjoy the Decanter content and became a subscriber in order to access the reviews. I was disappointed to find the reviews section of the app doesn’t work at all.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t open dowloaded issues

*2026-04-22, version 2.0.0*

You pay for premium, you download issues. The problem is that if you’re not on WiFi, downloading the issues is pointless because you can’t open the app. Thanks but no thanks.

### 5/5 — Wine Producer loves Decanter !

*2025-01-16, version 1.0.2*

As a wine producer I find Decanter both entertaining and informative . If you love Wine , You will too !

### 1/5 — Why oh why

*2024-11-01, version 1.0.2*

I am unable to login to the app which is incredibly frustrating as I’ve been a member for years

### 1/5 — NOT Working

*2024-10-10, version 1.0.2*

Suddenly this morning I cannot sign it to view content.  I completed the login and password, then it does not sign me in and asked for the same information again.  I cannot even cancel my subscription because I cannot sign it.  Fix your sign in online!!!

### 1/5 — It Working

*2024-10-04*

Suddenly this morning I cannot sign it to view content.  I completed the login and password, then it does not sign me in and asked for the same information again.

### 5/5 — Spend more time re installing the app recently than i do reading it!

*2024-08-20, version 1.0.2*

This app has worked well for several years but has suddenly started to stop updating. The helpful technical team tell you to reinstall which doesn’t work and eventually correct it after several weeks. Last time Its worked for a few weeks and then stopped working again. 3 yrs ago this app was a nightmare and it looks like we’ve gone back to this very brand damaging behaviour!

### 2/5 — Useless if offline

*2024-08-07, version 1.0.2*

The content is great and it works fantastic if connected to the internet. They offer the ability to download the magazine but the app itself won’t work if offline so renders it useless. Please fix this. I posted this a year or so back and it’s still the same. You can download the magazine but if you are offline it doesn’t work. Can’t be that hard.

### 1/5 — Log in frustrations

*2024-07-07, version 1.0.2*

Near impossible to log in and stay logged in.
