### 4/5 — Very good app to accompany the club

*2026-05-27*

Overall, I’m pleased with the app, which has steadily improved over time. However, the one little thing that still kind of annoys me is that putting in text (like when writing tasting notes on a wine), the keyboard doesn’t auto-capitalize after periods (or ? or !) like most other text input in other apps do. If they fixed the keyboard behavior, I’d give it 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback and being a part of our community. We're thrilled you're enjoying our improvements to the app. We'll work to re-add the ability to add notes soon, along with some other app enhancements. If you ever have any other thoughts on how we can improve, send us an email to appsupport@firstleaf.com. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Scanning issues

*2026-03-20, version 2.11.5*

You’re scanning system does not work at all

### 2/5 — Freezes

*2025-12-19*

App isn’t working. Each time I tap something to do it just takes longer than a few minutes to even load. I cannot click on anything else because it didn’t respond. There are no updates so not sure what the issue is. Why can’t we just choose from your listed selection and pick what we want in our shipments. This is why I stopped using g it in the first place. Why not give more options inside of your app? Allow experienced wine drinkers to make their own selection and leave the apps automated choice selection for people who are newer to the wine drinking experience?

### 2/5 — App still is not working for me

*2025-12-09*

This app was awesome before the update. I am a club member. I can finally get into the app but it doesn’t show my upcoming shipment order at the top like it used to. I have to go into the web version and when I click on the wine it still won’t give me any info on the wine that’s being selected for me. I have to go and search the wine to read about it in the wine shop. Too many steps as it was much easier to navigate before. Please change the app back to the previous version

### 2/5 — Good customer service. Bad wine

*2025-07-10, version 2.3.0*

Aldi level wine

### 1/5 — Extremely Frustrated Customer

*2025-06-18, version 2.2.3*

I am extremely frustrated with you website, customer service and ability to help. 

I have tried to sign up, select wines and place orders with no luck. I have use three devices, downloaded the app and continue to get errors.  

I have tried everything that you support people have suggested with absolutely no luck.

The only reason I am even considering this service is that my daughter gave me a gift card but at this point, it seems a lot more work than pleasure to try to work with your company.

### 2/5 — Review

*2025-06-11, version 2.2.3*

Love the club but dislike the limited options on reviews. Can only like or dislike. For an app that claims to cater to your tastes it’s hard to know what qualify as a dislike for me.  I like most of the wines but don’t love them all. A true dislike is something  I would rate a 2-3 out of ten. There is no way to describe that in the app.

### 4/5 — Great Concept, but Bug Fixes Needed

*2025-06-07*

I love this concept of the app! But there were a few issues I ran into that could affect my will to stay with the app if they’re not fixed. I did attempt to scan a list of wines on a menu at a restaurant and after multiple attempts, the app never stopped buffering so I didn’t get to use that feature unfortunately. Also, I noticed in the app when I am trying to rate my wines there is a glitch that the app doesn’t process that I’ve rated a wine sometimes. when I switch over to a web browser, it works better.

**Developer response:** Hi! First off, we are so sorry to hear you encountered bugs when using the app but really appreciate you flagging the issues. Would you mind reaching out to us at appsupport@firstleaf.com so we can further look into what happened here with scanning + rating and get it fixed? Thanks!

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2025-06-02, version 2.1.1*

Not the greatest user friendly. I’m still trying to figure out how to review the wine I’ve tasted. It can be better

### 3/5 — Getting better, lost tasting notes

*2025-04-26*

Older versions of the app were slow to move through the interface, which seems to be getting a little faster. The biggest annoyance in the current version is that the functionality to add tasting notes has disappeared from the app (and I looked everywhere I could imagine). Ironically, it is still doable on their website. I do want to be able to input and read my notes, so this is a disappointment. I hope they restore this functionality soon.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback and being a part of our community. We're thrilled you're enjoying our improvements to the app. We'll work to re-add the ability to add notes soon, along with some other app enhancements.

### 1/5 — Such a scam

*2025-04-03, version 2.0.8*

It can’t cancel membership

### 3/5 — Almost feels like a scam

*2025-03-25, version 2.0.7*

I joined only a month ago. First shipment was fine. From the second it became clear that this is not a good choice. From a damaged shipment with broken bottles to getting credit for next order and then having to pay for it!!

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-06-08, version 2.11.6*

App is not letting me see my past or upcoming orders. Hard to tell what is going to be my next shipping date. Overall app is confusing.

### 1/5 — Can’t even login in

*2026-01-14, version 2.10.5*

It says it has to verify my connection before I login which doesn’t make sense and it won’t even verify. It just keeps a loading screen.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2026-01-05, version 2.10.4*

Used to work but hasn’t worked for about a month. I’m days away from canceling subscription.

### 1/5 — Didnt like

*2025-12-11, version 2.10.0*

All the red wines was nasty

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2025-12-05, version 2.10.0*

We try to open and it doesn’t work. It turns out as soon as it opens. The version is the actual one.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even open now

*2025-11-22, version 2.7.0*

The app was great until they updated it. Now it won’t even open. If they don’t get it fixed soon, I’ll be canceling my membership

### 1/5 — Not able to open app

*2025-11-21, version 2.7.0*

The app was alright, but now I can’t even open it, sadly I logged all the wines I liked on this app so now I can’t remember some.

### 1/5 — The app update

*2025-11-20, version 2.7.0*

The app was functioning great but, after the update the app went blank. I have not been able to login into or even to get the mobile app loaded.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-11-19, version 2.7.0*

It doesn’t work.  No opening up.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-09-14, version 2.7.0*

Poor recommendation

### 5/5 — Fantastic Wine, great flexibility

*2025-12-30*

We’ve really been able to get in a good groove of wine my wife and i enjoy with each bottle. The price is right, the delivery flexibility is helpful, and the customer service is responsive!

5*

### 5/5 — Am I a sommelier yet?

*2025-05-20*

Wine has replaced cocktails as my go to because of this app. The app makes it easy to find a bottle at the grocery store or order a glass at dinner. I’ve tried over 50 of their recommendations and I’ve yet to try one I didn’t like. Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Stella Rosso

*2025-03-12, version 2.0.6*

Great loved the taste!

### 5/5 — Great service ok app

*2025-01-22*

From all the wine subscriptions this is by far the most intuitive and useful. Thanks to them I finally have a clear idea of the wines I like and dislike. I’m discovering more wines than I would have by buying them blindly or by poor recommendations by store clerks. On to the app: you can’t make purchases of the wines you like which is a huge draw back. When I want to add wines to my subscription or outside of my subscription period I have to log on online on my computer (thankfully I have one).

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback. We're thrilled you're enjoying the club. Regarding the ability to purchase within the app, this is something we are actively working on and plan to launch in the next few months. We'll let you know once it's live, but in the meantime, let us know if there's any other ways we can improve the app. Cheers!

### 5/5 — The art of wine

*2025-01-22, version 1.1.7*

Learning how to enjoy new wine and learn about their region..The art and of Wine!
Cheers
