### 3/5 — Please update app

*2025-05-31, version 2.12*

I’ve had this app for many years now and have saved approx 70 + different whiskies I’ve owned over that time.  However please update the app as every time I record a new whisky the app freezes/crashes and I have to shut it down and re open it.  The app records the whisky but having to do this every time is very laborious and frustrating.  Otherwise would happily pay to use the app daily.

### 4/5 — It does the job

*2025-02-11, version 2.12*

Whilst okay, unfortunately I’ve had lots of experience with wind apps that have more smarts in identifying bottles by the photo.
So it serves, but rudimentary.

### 3/5 — Additional feature

*2022-11-02, version 2.12*

The ap is good for creating a list but that is it. It would be nice if it’s database could include more whiskeys to make it easier to add new ones. Also, other ways to sort info. Plus if it could check for doplications.

### 2/5 — Tried it ...

*2019-08-31, version 2.11*

I tried to use it, but the fact that it hasn’t been updated to fit a 2 year old iPhone screen bothers me. Add to that the lack of a way to contact the developer and the empty, non-mobile friendly website and it’s clear this is an unsupported hobby. If I’m going to log a bunch of data I’d like a bit more than that. At least I didn’t find any bugs.

### 3/5 — Lots of bugs

*2018-01-25, version 2.11*

In theory this could be good. It’s a very basic app that I wish had a little more complex features. I would love to filter by spirit type so if I wanted to just show bourbons, for example, it would just show those. A purchase date would be cool as well. As for the bugs; I added 22 whiskies today and I’m the app crashed around 7-8 times. There wasn’t one thing I did that I could pinpoint what did it. Also after adding an entry, when the app goes back to the log, the “add” screen is jumbled on top of the log page. It goes back to normal if you close and open the app but for a paid app you shouldn’t have to do that

### 3/5 — Hurrah for long overdue update

*2017-11-12, version 2.11*

So pleased that the developers have finally updated the app to make it work with iOS 11. 
Was gutted when I thought all my hard work was lost. 
How about another update, one that includes a numerical count to help keep track of the number of whiskies tried, perhaps even a filter to separate the ones tried/owned/sadly missed etc?

### 2/5 — Do not buy until update

*2017-07-21, version 2.02*

Can only store 5 types of Whisky... Unless you pay for the full version, but developers need to update the app for compatibility.

### 3/5 — Please update!

*2017-04-27, version 2.02*

The following review still applies but I'd also like to amend it and ask the developers to update it since a warning is showing up now saying it won't be supported by iOS anymore. I doubt that will happen given the lack of attention this app has received in the last three years...but here's hoping!

The app is still largely wonderful, but suffers from a couple significant annoyances. Most immediately, the latest version had a big wherein the app crashes every time you try to take a picture with the camera. This, in addition to the pre-existing bug that shifts a photo taken from the camera roll to the upper left (leaving a black bar on the right and lower edges unless you carefully zoom and position it), makes utilizing photos extremely difficult at best. 

It is sorely in need of a password recovery function, although that's a much less-frequently required element.

### 3/5 — Good but multiple bugs

*2016-07-09, version 2.02*

Good and complete app but some bugs mainly with photos functionality...

### 4/5 — Great App - needs a few more filters

*2016-03-03, version 2.02*

I like it a lot, but would like to be able to filter more than "All" and "Own It"  Would be nice to filter on types of whisky (Bourbon, Scotch, Irish...)

### 4/5 — Good app

*2016-01-01, version 2.02*

This is a pretty good app that did exactly what you need for a digital Whiskey log. Nice that it allows for some customization. It's been a long while since it was updated however so it'd be nice to have an update to fix bis and to update the UI.

### 1/5 — In App Purchase bricked app

*2014-12-15, version 2.02*

I was promoted to buy the 2.99 upgrade so I could add more than five items. Did so and since then have not been able to use the app! Tried the old reboot and even deleted the app and reinstalled it again. No go!

### 1/5 — Just Wrong

*2021-10-26, version 2.11*

You do all the work to get to your fifth entry and then you find out you have to buy the full version to add more than that. That’s just wrong.

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2021-01-26, version 2.11*

At first I thought brilliant a free app to log your whisky history. You list 5 then they want £2.99 ☹️ why bother.

### 1/5 — From LOVE to horrible disappointment

*2019-09-07, version 2.11*

I have used this app for years.  I have sampled and logged dozens of scotch, whiskeys and bourbons.  I’ve referred back to it when I forgot a name of something I’ve had or if I’m looking to buy a bottle of something I’ve enjoyed previously...  Until recently when I had to replace My iPhone and for whatever reason, My iCloud backup didn’t work.  I had to redownload the app and log in.  But it has been years since I set up My profile... I don’t even believe it asked for an email when I set it up originally.  But unlike most apps that usernames and passwords get automatically saved to Your iCloud Keychain, Whiskey Log didn’t.  It’s literally the only app I lost anything in during this process yet it was the most important aside from My photos and contacts.  I emailed the developer and He searched for different emails I would have used during the setup.  I’m pretty sure I wasn’t ever prompted and He confirmed as such after not finding Me under any of the 3 email address’ I have ever used...  One of My biggest passions and Years of logging all lost...  I went from loving this app to being horribly disappointed with it.

### 1/5 — Free for about five minutes

*2019-02-16, version 2.11*

You can only log five whiskey types then you have to pay $2.99. Not very fun in my opinion.

### 1/5 — iOS11 Compatability

*2017-09-22, version 2.02*

It isn’t.

### 1/5 — Up date needed

*2017-09-19, version 2.02*

Don’t work with ios11 all my whisky log has gone years of wasted time need a update now not happy

### 1/5 — You HAVE to be kidding me!

*2016-08-12, version 2.02*

This app has been great during a 1-2 week test run so I bought it. 10 minutes after the purchase and after loading a TON of previously handwritten tasting notes, it crashed. All content lost.

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!!

*2015-10-02, version 2.02*

This app does not work on IOS 9.  Just crashes.  Refund has been requested.

### 1/5 — Can't open!

*2015-09-16, version 2.02*

I used the free product to try it out. Updated to the full product and now it won't work! See this has happened to others! What a scam!!

### 1/5 — Can't open it after the in app purchase

*2015-01-18, version 2.02*

You must purchase the upgrade in order to log more than 5 whiskeys. So I upgraded. And now I can't open it at all. I'm at a whiskey tasting and I can't use the darn app. Aaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!!!!

### 5/5 — Uploading and Downloading is Broken

*2025-08-12, version 2.12*

Awesome app, but uploading and downloading the whisky log is broken as of July 2025.

### 5/5 — Great app that’s still in the works

*2024-10-14, version 2.12*

I love this app. It serves all my needs of tracking my own whiskey journey. Yes it’s still in the works, yes it can be better, but it’s the most straight forward no nonsense whiskey app I’ve found so far, and I ain’t ever gonna delete it. I’m excited to keep adding whiskeys.

Download this app and give it a whirl. It’s great and only getting better.

### 5/5 — Fabulously easy

*2022-04-10, version 2.12*

A fabulously easy way to store your library, what you have had & want to have. 

Very straight forward & self explanatory.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2021-05-08, version 2.11*

I love this little app. Allow me to track all my whisky really easy to use

### 5/5 — The BEST Whisky Log App

*2019-05-18, version 2.11*

This app just arrived for use for the IPad and I had it on my iphone for several 
years. I’m not sure why the makers don’t put a search Engine or find ways to make any money off of it. That being said, I see it as the best log out there. Best looking, easy to use.
The makers have updated it through out the years. So don’t worry about your info being erased. Thanks a million guys. Please add to it. Partner up with auction sites or something. Why? Because I want the App to continue and grow. 
Can’t say enough. It’s simplistic but none out there match it in ease of use and it looks great. If you have a collection or simply want to keep track of what you want to get and or have tasted, this is your app.

### 5/5 — Awesome app.

*2017-11-15, version 2.11*

So happy to see this app updated for iOS 11. No, this app ismt perfect, but it meets my needs without any extra useless fluff.

### 5/5 — What I need

*2017-11-10, version 2.11*

SO glad it’s back. This app fits my needs well. It is a very helpful tool for keeping track of the whiskies I’ve tried. It may not be fancy, but ability to add pictures, ratings, and notes is exactly what I want. 

When it went dark with the OS upgrade, I thought I lost my notes forever and there was no comparable app available. I’m sorry I lost the ability to log the dozen or two whiskies tried during its absence, but am pleased to be able to keep on logging!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2014-12-23, version 2.02*

An excellent app for keeping track of all of your whiskey tasting notes and ratings. Well supported, with several nice enhancements over the past few years. The online backup and ability to share your database are great features!  Recommended for any whiskey lover!

### 5/5 — Good Job

*2014-03-10, version 2.02*

This is a great app that makes it easy to record, make motes add photos and sync across devices. Good job.

### 5/5 — Very sleek and user friendly

*2014-02-18, version 2.02*

The interface is really nice, I like being able to put in little or a lot of info for what Ive tried. And you can backup your info. Exactly what I was looking for!
