Although the tequilas are there, their flavor profiles are not. But if you go online, there they are. What good is the app then? ### 2/5 — Stops music with dumb sound effect *2026-01-24, version 12.2.4* It’s really annoying when apps take over your audio and cause your music or audiobook to stop playing just to play some stupid sound effect. Please fix this! ### 4/5 — Update Glitch *2026-01-22, version 12.2.4* Latest update makes the app freeze and close when searching and filtering ### 4/5 — Key Club Broken *2026-01-09, version 12.2.2* Since the update, can’t access key club points. Please fix. ### 4/5 — Update *2026-01-09, version 12.2.2* The most recent app update will not allow me to see my Key Club points ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-11-29, version 12.1.1* Kept getting error while using the app and now I can't even open it. ### 1/5 — App will not open *2025-11-18, version 12.1.1* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Good store, bad app *2025-11-14, version 12.1.1* App is very buggy. No longer able to scan in their loyalty program, instead you have to keep it in each time. Whenever you go back a level on a search, it takes you to the home screen rather than listing the alternatives in the original search menu. I would expect the app could be much better in 2025. ### 1/5 — Completely unusable app *2025-11-07, version 12.1.1* Tried to sign up, tells me to enter my email. Entered my email and clicked “sign up” and it asks me for a password, which I don’t have because I haven’t set up an account yet. I’d expect better from a big chain store like this. Makes me want to not even shop here and visit the smaller stores to be honest. ### 1/5 — Bug ridden! *2025-10-10, version 12.1.1* I had never had problems before this latest update. Terrible update, I won’t use it anymore. ### 1/5 — Favorites issues *2025-10-04, version 12.1.1* Favorites no longer show up after recent update ### 1/5 — App won’t work *2025-10-01, version 12.1.1* The app is broken and won’t open or work since the last update. Please fix. ### 3/5 — App won’t open *2025-09-19, version 12.1.1* You only see the rabbit and will not open completely ### 3/5 — Jose Cuervo Golden *2025-06-12, version 11.27.7* App not useful to my needs. Why? ### 3/5 — Easier to find products among all stores *2025-06-07, version 11.27.6* When searching for a product, please make it easier to view inventories across all stores. It’s difficult to have to switch to each store to view on app. If I recall, the web browser allows you to search multiple stores for product ### 1/5 — Make it better *2025-04-29, version 11.27.1* It crashes, has a weird sound when you open it. Every page has an ad. Can’t search for more than two filters. Come on. ### 1/5 — Search very disappointing! *2025-03-24, version 11.27.1* Tried to search by Dripping Springs Orange - get everything but this. Why??? ### 2/5 — Can you make it better and faster? *2025-01-28, version 11.24.3* The app takes too long too load and navigation between pages. It also need updating to more of a 2025 user interface. It feels 2010ish, like an app that launched when the first launched iPhone came out. It’s not horrible, just very slow and and outdated design. Also, maybe show your allocated inventory. Can you also add a section to show your in-store purchases (like the total wine app). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App won’t let me log *2026-07-29, version 13.0.2* I’m using the same password from the website and the app keep saying invalid credentials ### 1/5 — Wonky *2026-04-23, version 12.2.8* Terrible app all around. Gave my money to Total Wine. ### 1/5 — No Results *2026-03-28, version 12.2.7* Anytime I search for something I always get “No Results”. I can click on a brand they have listed and still get “No Results”. I’ve tried to use the app many times and it never works. So disappointing! ### 1/5 — Horrible app crashes *2026-03-23, version 12.2.7* Crashes any time i try to search for something. Overall bad app ### 1/5 — Ads kill the app *2026-03-21, version 12.2.7* Although the search function has not been great as long as I have used the app, it is the last update that has made me remove it. At first there was a nag screen that kept popping up when starting up and frequently thereafter that could only be closed by going to the app store to update (and then just return to the non-updated app without applying the update in order to use the old app). Finally giving in, I downloaded the update. Now it is treating me to a full page ad that has to be dismissed after every search. Good-bye app. At least the web site hasn’t been fouled up yet. ### 1/5 — Search Not Working *2026-01-31, version 12.2.4* When searching for any item it says “no results” ### 1/5 — Ads Killed this app *2026-01-03, version 12.2.0* The Specs app used to be relatively easy and straightforward to use, however they recently added in “sponsored” bottles in the search results which completely clutters the screen and degrades the UX of this app. There are popups on the Home Screen that are hard to click out of and take you to a search that only shows you the promoted items, even when you try to search something else. Additionally, they have audio that plays when you open it, which kills any streaming music. Frankly they’re losing my business based on the fact Total Wine and More’s app has a much cleaner UI and has ad-free search results which makes it much easier to confirm they have what I’m looking for. ### 1/5 — App Crashes constantly *2026-01-02, version 12.2.0* I love shopping at Specs but this App is the worst.. Won’t let you change stores without crashing and app has error messages. I’ve installed and uninstalled about a dozen times with the same result.. Fix your app Specs! ### 1/5 — Poor app with several glitches *2025-12-24, version 12.2.0* Even after the most recent update this app continues to have several functional deficiencies. I literally just abandoned my entire cart and made my purchase with their well known competitor. ### 1/5 — Error occurred *2025-12-07, version 12.1.1* Recently this app has been very glitchy and now I can even use it. I get an error when I open the app that says “Some error occurred while executing your request.” And cannot use at all on the latest version. Also when it was working, I cannot search for bottles from all stores around me. Instead the app forces you to select each store to search individually. Not ideal if you live in a large city with dozens of Specs. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love Spec *2025-09-19, version 12.1.1* Good old Spec!

They handed it perfectly and cared about me being a customer. I tried to go back and change it. To 4-5 Stars and I can’t. So I decided I’d post it here for ppl to see. ### 5/5 — Whisky Avenue *2024-06-20, version 11.22.1* Thanks Specs ### 5/5 — None Other *2024-05-17, version 11.22.1* The best of the best!
