### 3/5 — Bugs

*2019-02-17, version 2.3.5*

Long time without updates, there are some bugs with the integration with cellar Tracker.

### 4/5 — Fantastic app

*2014-08-10, version 2.2*

The ads are annoying and I would like a bar code scanner added. I would pay a few buck for that, but the $50 in app purchase is too high for what you get.

### 4/5 — Slight tweaks

*2014-05-31, version 2.2*

Great app for CT users, love interfacing with my collection visually. Seems like it should be easy to conform the drink page to CT's so we can enter all same info, or adding a reasonable search function. Keep up great work!

### 4/5 — Great addition to cellartracker

*2014-05-19, version 2.2*

Great visual addition to cellartracker.

### 2/5 — Unfortunate

*2014-03-10, version 2.1*

This app seems perfect with its options and capabilities. But what is the point when it crashes ten seconds after loading every time. This is not an exaggeration. Nothing can be done. With this fixed, this app is what I am looking for.

### 4/5 — Much Better

*2014-02-12, version 2.1*

Now works with 5.0 iPad 1.  Thanks developers.

### 1/5 — Upgrade is a downgrade!

*2014-02-10, version 2.0*

The previous cellarvu was basic but worked! I couldn't get this to open without deleting and re-installing and it still won't open with the 'preload notes and labels' option selected. 

Also this is a complete mess as regards cross- currency support.  My currency for price paid  is GBP£ but now it displayed multi bottle total value in dollars but with a £ sign.  And the total evaluation figure is about double what it should be in GBP.

Please can I have the old version back until you've fixed this one...

### 1/5 — Fail

*2014-02-09, version 2.0*

This app has replaced a previously installed app, which was basic but at least it opened.

I cannot get this app to load past the initial welcome scree; after a few seconds the app auto-closes.

Get this fixed please!

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-02-09, version 2.0*

Opens up then crashes a couple seconds later

### 1/5 — Broken

*2014-02-08, version 2.0*

The new download, replacing CellarVu, doesn't work on my iPad mini. It reverts to Home screen after trying for about 20 seconds to load.

### 1/5 — Does this work?

*2014-02-07, version 2.0*

Just upgraded and cannot get beyond the splash screen. It just sits there...

### 4/5 — Photo Stopped Working

*2013-11-13, version 1.1*

I've used this app for over a year without a problem. In the last month the photo add feature for wine labels stopped working. When I snap a picture and select "use photo" nothing happens. Previously you could crop the label before saving it.  Now it does not crop or save.

### 4/5 — Great...! Way to view your cellar!

*2013-10-28, version 1.1*

I have been using this app for over 2 years along with CT's web based system. It provides an excellent method for remembering your wines (pics) along with the cool factor of your home having its own portable electronic wine list. Well done!

### 2/5 — Needs to be updated.

*2013-10-26, version 1.1*

App worked well until iOS 7.  No longer able to add pictures of label.  Like the app to be able to see wine collection but an update is needed.

### 2/5 — Lost Cause

*2013-10-07, version 1.1*

Nice idea. Not updated - with any features or fixes - for years. The app is essentially dead.

### 1/5 — Update APP

*2016-10-28, version 2.2*

This was an awesome App until IOS 10. I have iOS 10.1 and it no longer works. I can't use this anymore.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2016-03-07, version 2.2*

The app is now broken.  Per previous user, it is not possible to login.   Get "no network connection" error.   Not sure what has happened as this was an awesome and stable app.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-03-04, version 2.2*

Can't even open the app. Installed three times and it won't work. Junk.

### 1/5 — For some reason Vinopal is down

*2015-06-12, version 2.2*

iOS 8.x never ceases to a,axe me with how it can destroy perfectly good app as much as it destroys the learn function it uses for ting with each update. Vinopal was great before. All my stuff has been in Cellar Tracker for 8 years and now Vinopal shows nothing and boots me out of the app. What's up?

### 1/5 — What happend?

*2014-09-20, version 2.2*

This was such a beautiful App, loved it. Now, it doesn't scroll properly and is slow and sluggish. 
Can you please fix it?

### 1/5 — Broken

*2014-04-21, version 2.2*

Used to work fine until they rebranded and relaunched. Now it won't even open up

### 1/5 — Crashes on open on iPad Air...

*2014-02-21, version 2.1*

Program opens and then after a couple of seconds it shuts itself down, every time...  No bueno!

### 1/5 — Crash

*2014-02-18, version 2.1*

The app crashes unable to keep it running

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-02-16, version 2.1*

With the new update, it crashes after 5 seconds. Please fix!!!

### 1/5 — Complete Fail

*2014-02-10, version 2.0*

This app no longer works. Just freezes on the opening screen then closes. Please get it fixed as it is now completely useless.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-02-15, version 2.3.5*

This app is what I’ve been looking for, for a long time, I’ve even paid for several apps that are not even close to this.
Pairing to cellar tracker is great.
Only complaints are that it’s not available for iPhone!!!
Also the map is terrible... I’m sure they can update that pretty easiy.

### 5/5 — Superb Wine App

*2019-08-19, version 2.3.5*

This is a visually impactful, fun and convenient way to view and research your wine collection on CellarTracker.  In addition to viewing your wines by label, you can quickly search and sort your collection by region, grape, vintage etc.  I also like viewing the number of wines in my collection visually on a map, which you can narrow from country to region to appellation, etc.  One of my favorite iPad apps.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-07-08, version 2.3*

This app is essential for a serious wine collector.  Easy navigation and ability to see reviews of holdings.  Thanks for creating this!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2014-05-17, version 2.2*

Just awesome, that is all.

### 5/5 — Vinopal & CellarTracker - great team!

*2014-02-23, version 2.1*

This was already a great app for viewing and sorting your CellarTracker wines. Now the new version makes it even better. The image upload has been fixed and the add wine and edit wine features take you directly to CellarTracker for optimal control. (I kind of preferred the CellarVu name, but I'll get used to it). Thanks guys!

### 5/5 — Great App. Needs only one thing.

*2013-02-15, version 1.1*

I use this app all the time, especially when entertaining or just consuming. It's super easy to browse through my bottles and find just the right wine for the moment. The only thing missing is the ability to add wine to your cellar. CellarTracker is still required for this function. Add that function and this would be the best app ever produced!

### 5/5 — Exceptional App for Wine lovers

*2013-01-27, version 1.1*

Some reviewers seems to not be clear that they need to have a cellartracker account (with inventory) before enjoying the benefits of the app.
It appears that the app only reports your wine inventory.  It would be wonderful if you could add support for searching any wine within the cellartracker database.  Great achievement. Congratulations.

### 5/5 — Great complement to CellarTracker

*2011-12-26, version 1.1*

This is a really cool app but I would think it most useful if you are using the the CellarTracker software which basically tracks you wine cellar (inventory) in the cloud. I would love to see this more tightly integrated with CT but I still find it very useful and it has so far functioned flawlessly.  Nice job folks. Great app!

### 5/5 — Great app.  Just needs a few tweaks.

*2011-09-18*

Great interface, very easy and intuitive to use.  Here are my suggestions to make it better:
-Have my ratings show instead of community ratings where I have one
-Ability to add bottles to cellar
-Option to sort from left to right instead of top to bottom

Small things really.  Love this app overall though.

### 5/5 — Solid Wine Application, powered by the best at CT

*2011-08-21, version 1.1*

I love this application and use it to manage my collection visually. I tend to use cellartracker.com most of the time as you need to add wines through that site and it is a force of habit.  If you profess yourself to be any kind of wine geek, collector, aficionado or connoisseur you are none of those without a cellartracker.com and CellarVU.  CellarVU is great at wine parties for those to see more about the wine they are drinking or to peruse a collection to select the next great wine of the night.  I love scrolling through every few weeks to get an idea of what I may have left in my collection.  Many times I see wines I drank already and can remove them to keep my collection up to date.  The note taking experience is not great but is a good start in the right direction, more flavors and aromas should be available or allowed to be written in.  A must for any wine nerd!
