I'd like to give more than two stars on the products that I love. also when you leave one of your favorite locations or liquors and if you have more than one in the list it over writes those to the last one you were in. This also needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — Not ready for the real world *2019-08-14, version 1.1* Let’s you search for the liquor but won’t allow you to see what stores have it available. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2019-08-08, version 1.1* Will not let you register despite following instructions. When you’ve made one search, no matter what you enter next, you only get your original search. Very, very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Not ready for release *2019-08-07, version 1.1* Error message despite meeting password requirements. Cannot create an account. Stores not listed in order of nearest location. Was looking forward to this app, but looks like it will be pretty useless. ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-08-05, version 1.1* Typical of DABC. Pretty useless. Crashes frequently, doesn’t really do anything useful to finding products. ### 1/5 — Won’t work with VoiceOver *2019-08-05, version 1.1* When I try to search for products, I cannot while I am using the screen reader VoiceOver. If I manage to find a product, I just hear “Image.” I guess that blind people don’t matter. ### 1/5 — Just crashes *2019-08-01, version 1.0 Beta* Can’t do much when all it does is crash.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Typical State of Utah Dev *2025-08-25, version 2.0.0* Scanner doesn’t work. Location services doesn’t work. No one cares what the State Store # is. Who keeps track of that? When I select my favorite bottle of wine and the list of stores is the store number, it becomes useless, or at least becomes inconvenient to have to google the store number. Take the time to really build this app. If Utah DABC can’t put in the effort y’all should just turn it off. ### 1/5 — Pretty bad *2022-05-14, version Version 1.7.4* Mostly freezes when you try to do anything. I got frustrated pretty fast trying to place a special order after being instructed to do so through this mess by the store staff. ### 1/5 — No filter options makes it useless *2022-03-30, version 1.6.31* I actually think the website is pretty good to search for particular items, but it isn’t very compatible with mobile browsers. So when I heard that the DABC has an app, I was super excited. Downloaded the app just to find it is completely useless. There are no filtering options to narrow down a search, so you’re stuck scrolling through thousands of line items. If they fixed this, it could be a pretty decent app. ### 1/5 — Simply does not work *2021-08-26, version 1.6.31* The login part does not work. I verified my account and password in a separate browser and it logs in fine. Using separate browser I get different search results as well. Not sure what this do for anyone. It’s essentially worthless ### 1/5 — The newest update broke the app. *2020-12-14, version iOS App 1.6.2* The app is mostly useless since the new update. Most of the text is gone in the UI. When you do get the the liquor list you want it’s all black out, and almost impossible to see. When you find what your looking for, and try to click where to buy it does nothing. This app is completely unusable. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-11-27, version iOS App 1.6.2* Ok, I tried this app to create a favorites list. Most everything I tap says I need to log in but I can’t for the life of me find any way to create an account! I see search, locate stores, scan, settings but see no where to create an account! If you click login, you can sign in but no way to create. This may be the single worst app I have ever seen. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-11-10, version iOS App 1.6.2* It’s like if a high school student was making their first app. Or if you could make iOS apps with PowerPoint. Seriously, you mark up the products you sell by 88%. You can’t hire a real app developer? ### 1/5 — Misleading *2020-04-28, version 1.4* The app says each store has a certain inventory but it’s very incorrect. The app says it’s always more but the stores are more often than not sold out. ### 1/5 — 😡 *2020-04-02, version 1.4* Said you had 48 bottles of crown royal peach at Wall Street liquor store but they said they had none ### 1/5 — Inventory *2020-03-19, version 1.4* The inventory is not even close this app is crap ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-03-10, version 1.4* Easy to find products. ### 5/5 — New update is great! *2019-08-05, version 1.1* I love having the prices and locations. ### 4/5 — Favorites *2023-09-09, version 1.7.7* I love the ability to add favorites! Favorite items, but also favorite stores. The search feature is a little cumbersome as some of the product names are truncated or abbreviated. To search a single item may take several attempts. I would love the ability to special order directly from the app from the search page. ### 3/5 — Always shows discontinued *2026-02-23, version 2.0.0* The app is close to the android version. But the apple app doesn’t seem to care about the preferred stores and always show the discontinued products. It’s also slower than the android one as well. ### 3/5 — Good but could be great *2020-02-01, version 1.4* It’s awesome you can find all the unique inventory but i I cannot seem to create a login to rate stuff ### 2/5 — Can’t Search by Category *2021-10-05, version 1.6.31* I wish they’d add a way to search by category, like rum, whisky, tequila for spirits, or lager, stout, ale for beers. Nothing too in-depth, just the basic categories. The search function doesn’t work right: when you search for “Rum” it only comes up with Bacardi. Searching for “tequila“ comes up with nothing. Easy fix, I’m guessing. ### 2/5 — Dark iOS setting not compatible *2020-12-13, version iOS App 1.6.2* Blue font dark background means you can not read a dang thing if your phone settings are dark!! ### 2/5 — Favorites? *2020-11-04, version iOS App 1.6.2* Saving bottles to your favorites no longer works. Why? ### 2/5 — Colors need to change *2020-11-03, version iOS App 1.6.2* Can’t read locations or any of the blue on black background text. Search function also needs improvement and allow to sort by category. ### 2/5 — Pretty bad app *2020-05-04, version 1.4* I would like to see what’s on sale, there’s no place to view that. And also, my favorites list overlaps and when I try to click on something it freezes. I tried to delete my favorites and start over, but it still has 2 items overlapping and can’t click on them. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
