### 2/5 — Outdated

*2021-04-16, version 6.9*

Very outdated. States tastings are half the price they actually are. It’s only nice because it organizes the wineries for you.

### 3/5 — Deals only OK

*2019-04-02, version 6.4*

Easy to use to find wineries and open times. Paid the $10 to see deals, probably Not worth it if you’re going to specific wineries. I won’t get my $10 worth. I did it because I was interested in a deal at one, but the deal was if you buy a case of wine. I’m looking for a deal app, not the kind of person buying a case of wine to save $25. :/

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2019-01-05, version 5.58.34*

4 out of the 5 vineyards we tried to use the app didn’t recognize or “officially partner” with it so it was a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Stupid App

*2018-10-21, version 5.58.34*

You pay 10.00 then get the discount if you have a signature or infinite visa?? What a rip off

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2018-10-09, version 5.58.34*

I paid to unlock the deals and the only one I wanted to go to (Sterling Vineyard) was not there even though it’s on the website. I’d like a refund because this was useless.

### 1/5 — Misrepresents itself

*2018-10-01, version 5.58.34*

All over the place this app and its website talk about FREE DEALS!!! Not until you try to access one of them do you find out you have to do an in-app purchase to get those supposedly free deals. This is flat out misrepresentation; how did it get into the App Store?

### 1/5 — Beware!

*2018-09-11, version 5.58.34*

I have called several of the wineries listed as having savings. The wineries have never heard of the promotion being offered by this app.

### 1/5 — No longer free

*2018-08-21, version 5.58.34*

One used to be able to receive free coupons for tasting.  But no more!  Now they want you to buy tasting pass for it.

### 1/5 — NOT HAPPY.

*2018-08-13, version 5.58.34*

Used to be free to access the deals. Now need $10. Not worth it when most are 2 for 1 deals that you can get passes for anyway.

### 1/5 — Waste of $

*2018-07-20, version 5.58.34*

You have to unlock to view the deals and the 2 for 1 tastings are few and far between. Some offer 5-10% discounts or an additional free pour only if you purchase wines, some at least 3 bottles. I’m very disappointed that I purchased!

### 2/5 — Not happy.....

*2018-07-17, version 5.58.34*

I want a refund.  I bought this because it promises deals and discounts but for some of the wineries, the discounts or deals are the same that the wineries would give you WITHOUT having to buy this app such as Caymus.

### 1/5 — Total Scam

*2018-07-03, version 5.58.34*

I paid $10 for the app to save on my tasting at the Castello di Amorosa winery and when I got to the front desk they said they don’t accept the app. Do not pay for this app!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t Activate - better for free

*2018-07-03, version 5.58.34*

I activated the deals within the app. Half the deals require some sort of Visa signature card to activate; others require you do a specific level of tasting or buy a full case of wine. Additionally, it can’t find some of the larger vineyards I’m looking for in Napa. For free, it’s fine, but I’m really regretting spending that $10 right now.

### 1/5 — $10 to see any of the deals

*2018-06-01, version 5.58.34*

This should be considered a straight-up paid app. Nothing free offered. To access literally any of the “deals,” you are required to pay $9.99. Feels like a misrepresentation, which is a bummer because the older version sounds like it was actually useful.

### 1/5 — Beware No deal unless you pay up front.

*2018-05-28, version 5.58.34*

It sounds like a great app with discounts but you have to pay $9.99 to "UNLOCK" any such savings without knowing what the deal is first. Not really a free app IMO.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Napa is back.

*2022-04-12, version 6.10*

Napa is back.  When are the coupons going to be turned back on?

### 1/5 — Too many faults

*2021-06-03, version 6.10*

Awful app
Too many faults.

### 1/5 — No deals

*2020-08-30, version 6.9*

Got the app to find deals on wineries. There were no deals and very confusing as to how it was supposed to save me money.

### 1/5 — A Con....

*2020-06-17, version 6.8*

Wants you to spend $9.95 to “unlock” EVERY discount.

Refuses to guarantee that their “discount” applies in the COVID era.

Wish I could give a ZERO.

### 1/5 — Don’t get this app

*2020-01-12, version 6.5*

I downloaded this FREE app to see what it was all about. Then it quickly pushed me towards paying $9.99 for nothing. It took my fingerprint as permission of payment without me being fully aware of what happened . I then explored their app and their so called Winery visit deals are not very good and nor do you need to pay for this app for winery deals. I tried to cancel within minutes of accidentally paying and there no no app support and very very very poor app. I contacted iTunes and told me they could do nothing. This app is a scam....do not waste space on your device and get charged for nothing.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2019-09-30, version 6.4*

App keeps crashing. Every time I click to open a page the app crashes and closes.

### 1/5 — Winery deals not great

*2019-09-19, version 6.4*

Winery deals are not great because most require a retain type of Visa card.

### 1/5 — Buggy!

*2019-07-25, version 6.4*

Handy when it works, but crashes constantly! Look forward to it when it’s less buggy.

### 1/5 — Fake discounts do not bother

*2019-07-06, version 6.4*

I ended up paying the $10 for an advertised discount at the wine train and after i got it, it just sent me to a third party site where i needed to spend another $60 to get the discount. Totally not worth it! Stay away from this app. It should be banned.

### 1/5 — WRONG INFO!

*2019-05-27, version 6.4*

All of the information I found on here was wrong in comparison to what they had at the wineries-varieties, prices, tasting fees-everything. Bad info. Crappy app!

We saved so much with this app and Abe the opportunity to wine taste many wineries instead of a few because of the two for one deals.

### 5/5 — My trip to the wine country

*2017-09-24, version 5.58.11*

### 5/5 — I'm a planner

*2017-09-24, version 5.58.11*

Great source of information and advice about wineries and much more. The '2 for 1' offers were much appreciated, If only we had the time to try them all!

*2017-09-24, version 5.58.11*
