Our in-house lab partner, OCN Digital Labs, affords us the capability to perform the highest quality digital film preservations achievable on titles that, in many cases, would otherwise deteriorate beyond the point of saving.

### 3/5 — Updated app and websites do not have access to post customer reviews.

*2026-05-03, version 7.5*

Updated app and websites (Mesuline) do not have access to post customer reviews on order purchases. Only whatever they send by email to my inbox.

### 5/5 — The best! 🤘

*2025-10-18, version 6.6*

I love vinegar syndrome. It is such a great label and they keep lost movies alive! I do wish the app had better support for the VSMC, but nonetheless, they always make it work when redeeming!

### 5/5 — Amazing !!!

*2025-05-25, version 6.2*

My new obsession. I spent $250 on their halfway to Black Friday sale. Truly beautiful artwork. Their restoration of cult films is inspiring . I am excited to find new films to add to my collection, and I really enjoy supporting them.

### 3/5 — Great App but has been glitchy since last update

*2025-03-02, version 6*

I love VS and I can’t emphasize enough how great their customer service is. However, I’ve noticed a couple glitchy things since the apps last update. 
1. When expanding the description of the product, the summary and details is cut off on the screen. I can only read half of each sentence. 
2. Products default to standard edition instead of special slipcover editions. I’ve almost ordered the standard edition multiple times now because of this and have had to be more diligent with making sure I’ve selected the proper edition before adding it to my cart. I’m afraid it’s just a matter of time before I accidentally order the standard edition as a result of this. 
Again VS is awesome and I love what they’re doing for physical media! Just a couple minor issues with their app is app! Keep up the awesome content!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-02-03, version 6*

Love having these ease of using this app to order some forgotten classics. One tiny issue, the product description is cut off in the app and your unable to read it. Hopefully a fix is already on the way. But thank you regardless for creating a great app!

### 5/5 — Mark of the devil

*2025-01-02, version 5.9*

The best it’s ever looked. Fantastic 4K Blu-ray. Awesome packaging.

### 5/5 — I love vinegar syndrome

I love vinegar syndrome

### 5/5 — Great App For My Favorite Company

*2024-11-02, version 5.2*

Vinegar Syndrome is the best, and the app is very well done. Easy to navigate and is the better way to shop and research on my phone compared to the web version.
