### 5/5 — Where’s the love?

*2026-06-25, version 5.9.5*

This used to be THE platform for wine professionals and wine enthusiasts to share their impressions and experiences; one bottle at a time. Unfortunately, the app has become increasingly more difficult to enjoy due to usability issues. This app needs some love by its owners so it doesn’t alienate its fervent users.

### 3/5 — app is going downhill fast

*2026-06-20, version 5.9.5*

app hardly works - very inconsistent and it's a shame because when it works it's a great community and a great resource when looking for feedback when purchasing

### 1/5 — Archived

*2026-06-17, version 5.9.5*

Broken and hasn’t been. Updated in 4 years. 349 reviews of wine lost 🫠

### 1/5 — Abandoned app

*2026-06-13, version 5.9.5*

App is no longer supported. Basic functionality no longer works.

### 1/5 — Mislabels Wines

*2026-06-08, version 5.9.5*

This app constantly pulls up the wrong wines when the label is clearly visible.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-05-18, version 5.9.5*

Used to be a great app for tracking wines. Unfortunately, the developers stopped updating the app several years ago. It has now deteriorated to a point where the apps core function of logging wine labels no longer works. Without this functionality the app is useless.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-05-10, version 5.9.5*

I’ve been using this app for years and it’s been great but now my following feed hasn’t updated in weeks and I can no longer tag people that I’ve shared a bottle with.  It’s a shame because I had over 2300 wines and now I’m going to have to start over in some other app

### 5/5 — Helps

*2026-02-28, version 5.9.5*

Great to have with me when shopping

### 4/5 — Question for the developer

*2026-01-31, version 5.9.5*

Why do wine varieties not show up on my taste insights unless i have 4 or more? That means i can never find them again unless i happen to recall when i drank them and scroll down the full list in chronological.

### 1/5 — No one responds

*2025-12-01, version 5.9.5*

I used to love this app. In fact, I have almost 300 reviews with it. Now, I can’t upload a pic. I’ve reached out several times and no on ever responds. It’s a shame bc I’ve been a Delectable user 10 years.
