I chose to get the premium subscription to help support it and grow it not because I needed it to do what I wanted. I only gave it 4 stars because it's not perfey....YET, for that it need a bigger user base. It doesn't have every bottle in it's data base but you can manually add whatever you need for now. The other reason I only gave 4 starts is I don't know about you. But anytime I see something with 100% 5 stars I get suspicious... Nothing is ever that perfect so I hope that shows you this is a real reviy from a real user who genuinely loves the app! **Developer response:** Leumas80, this genuinely means a lot, and not just because it’s kind. You nailed exactly what I’m going for: free that actually stays usable, and Pro as a way to support the mission, not a wall you hit. That’s the whole compass, and hearing a real user say it landed is the best feedback I could get. You’re also right about the bigger user base — that’s the game now. The library and the Hunt both get better the more people are in it, and stuff like search and adding your own bottles just got a lot smoother in the latest updates. Keep the feedback coming — you’re exactly the kind of user shaping where this goes. ### 5/5 — Great Resource *2026-08-04* This is a great app for crowd sourced information on finding and pricing bourbon. Mostly hard to find and allocated bottles. Best information is the sharing of the locations where bottles can be found. Looking forward to future updates and expanded features. **Developer response:** This is exactly what I was hoping to hear — the Hunt (the location-sharing piece) is the part I care most about, and it only gets better as more people drop spots. You nailed the vision. More updates and features are actively in the works, and a lot of what ships comes straight from feedback like this. Thank you for taking the time. 🥃 ### 5/5 — Best app yet! *2026-08-03* This app is so intuitive and it really puts everything together! Way better than OnlyDrams! **Developer response:** This made my day, thank you. “Puts everything together” is exactly what I was going for — one place for your bar, the hunt, and your palate. I’m a one-person team building this for the bourbon community, so reviews like this genuinely keep me going. 🥃 ### 5/5 — Quality *2026-08-03* This app has made my whiskey buying experience so much easier and has really helped me broaden my collections! Very easy to use and it has a lot of great features. **Developer response:** Thank you! The Hunt is my favorite part too — the more people logging spots, the better it gets for everyone. Glad it’s working for you. 🥃 ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-08-03* Love being able to track what myself and others are drinking with the ability to look at what I’m tasting compared to others. **Developer response:** Thanks for the love! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-07-16* One of the better whiskey apps I’ve tried. Love learning more about my tastes **Developer response:** Thank you Brob! Means a lot! ### 5/5 — Wow! *2026-04-21* This is what I’ve been looking for! **Developer response:** So happy it’s helping fit your needs!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Palate ### What is Palate?
