### 1/5 — New app - very bad!

*2026-02-14*

I was a satisfied (paying) customer for many years - new update is very bad. Cancelled my subscription.

### 1/5 — Very annoying

*2026-01-25*

The new release of the RP-App is incredible bad. More than a half of functionalities like vintage charts etc are gone

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-06-23*

The content is fine some of the reviewers are good.  Articles could be a little more frequent and interesting.  The wine reviews are often behind for exclusive mailing release wines which makes it less useful.  But ultimately the app is useless, it stalls out and I need to restart my phone just to use again.  That doesn’t happen with any of my other apps.

### 2/5 — Quirky app and diminishing returns on reviews

*2025-02-08*

I grew up on Parker and naturally gravitated to their app.  Over time, I have found their content less useful.  The app was always buggy, forcing me log in. I found that their barrier to copying content precluded posting content in my personal  app (Cellartracker which was great) made it less useful for managing my cellar.  I decided I wanted to pause from the subscription, ( I was on auto renew) which is not possible on their app, nor on their website.   Customer service was responsive and advised my auto renew had been cancelled promptly. What I did not appreciate is they cancelled my membership even though I had more time in my paid subscription.  Anyhow, I think their time has passed.

### 1/5 — Log in EVERY TIME?!?!

*2025-02-08*

Is it possible to give zero stars?! If the content was not so very rich this App would never stand a chance. Please for the love of god fix your app. It’s buggy, quits unexpectedly and the need to log in every time is beyond annoying. And latest update….doesn’t work at all. Cannot log in period. Don’t waste your money.

### 2/5 — Log in EVERY TIME?!?!

*2024-12-26*

If the content was not so very rich this App would never stand a chance. Please for the love of god fix your app. It’s buggy, quits unexpectedly and the need to log in every time is beyond annoying.

### 1/5 — Does Not Recognize Subscription Anymore

*2024-04-14*

Suddenly, the app does not recognize my active subscription. Have deleted, re-installed, logged out, logged in, etc… Can no longer see wine reviews. On the website, everything works. Something changed in the past few days. Needs to be fixed please.

### 1/5 — App keeps shutting down!!

*2020-10-21*

I cannot access any articles and the app shuts down when I attempt to log in! Deleting and asking for a refund. What a disappointment!

### 2/5 — Log in every time!!

*2020-06-16*

Why do I have to log in every time I open the app? Please fix this

### 4/5 — Parfait, nécessite un abonnement.

*2020-02-25*

Une base de notes de vins incontournable. Nécessiterait une sélection par mots clés pour les propriétaires dont l’affichage des cuvées s’étale sur plusieurs pages...Exemple: si vous tapez « Jadot » dans la recherche générale, vous allez avoir 1900 notes sur 18 pages.... 
il vaut mieux chercher directement « Jadot Corton » si c’est les notes sur leurs Cortons que vous cherchez.
