### 5/5 — Somm Me Up

*2023-03-08*

Love this app and testing my taste buds against Somms’ notes. Great way to track preferences and tap into friends’ favorites ;)

**Developer response:** This review title is 🔥🔥. Thank you for the kind words!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2023-03-08*

I have always had a hard time remembering which wines I enjoyed and the name of the bottle. Somm Says allows me to catalog each wine I try and rate them in order of preference. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Also, did you know that you can add your friends so you can keep track of the cool wines your friends are drinking and loving. Tap on any profile picture and request a friend to have an even better time picking the right wine for any occasion.

### 5/5 — Interactive wine night

*2022-07-19*

We had an fun interactive wine night and because it’s a game, we had prizes! It took a second to understand how to play but if your read the directions, you’ll be fine. Very fun.

**Developer response:** Awesome! You're going to love the new Recommendation feature that just launched with 1.12. You can now go back into any of your past and request a recommendation. When you get to the summary page of your next game, look out for a change to have the sommelier give you a personal recommendation.

### 5/5 — Love it !

*2022-03-01*

We had fun 😊I’m not a wine novice but throughly enjoyed this app with friends and family.

**Developer response:** Thank you! We are a small team and appreciate your support. The team strives to build a fun, educational, and social game to play with friends around a great bottle of wine. They'll love to hear your feedback as well. And, it's getting even better... We've got tons of incredible features coming in the next few months. We're launching the ability to add friends so you can see the wines they love (great for bringing the right bottle of wine over to a friend's house), a blind tasting mode, and something we call "Guess the Price"! Lots of great stuff coming just around the corner. Stay tuned.

### 5/5 — Turned me into a wine fan!

Great games and taught me a lot about how to taste and appreciate wines. Can’t wait to play more.

**Developer response:** Yay! We now have more than 450 unique wines from 65+ professional sommeliers. You're going to love the upcoming ability to request a recommendation directly from the sommelier following a game. It's a great way to tap into incredible wine knowledge from the comfort of your own kitchen.
