Love this app

I have had this app for years to help curate a (now) 1500+ bottle cellar. Whilst unsupported I just used my iPad version, it no longer synching to my iPhone. With the very welcome rebuild things have been brought up to date and finally the app is delivering on its promise.

Thanks for re-engaging and I wish you and your endeavours well.

Rip off

I am out of spaces paid for 500 twice now and it doesn’t work. Send 3 emails to company and no one responds. Don’t use they are crooks.

Could be a great app

I have used this app in the past with great success, purchase a large number of spaces when first ordering, hadn’t gotten to building the inventory for many months, it would not allow to me to go beyond the first ten allotted wines. I purchased 100 more spaces, confirmed by the Apple App Store, after numerous attempts to proceed it continued to deny access and despite numerous emails to the developer there is no response. Don’t waste your money assuming they are no longer supporting this despite being available.

Want my money back

Really disappointed that my purchase didn’t work no matter how many re-starts or refresh’s of the app I attempted.
What a waste of money

Response from developer

I'm sorry — restarting and refreshing was never going to fix it, because the fault was in the app. It was written in an older language that had become very hard to update, and for a long period I couldn't support it properly. New tools made a rebuild possible, and version 5.0 handles purchases and restores correctly. Open Upgrade → Restore Purchases and what you paid for will be applied — no second payment. If it doesn't appear, contact me from Settings → About → Email Support in the app and I'll sort it out; for a refund instead, Apple's channel is reportaproblem.apple.com.

Defunct product with zero support

This WAS a very useful app. It no longer works with newer iOS updates on my iPhone. Tech support is non-existent.

Love it

Love this app. Took me a while to get efficient at entering new items but got it now. Love that it syncs between phone, cloud and ipad. Bit of a shock seeing how much $$ i’ve got “tied up” in wine. 🧐

Used to be great, now appears to be unsupported

I loved this app, other than the limited picture storage but oh well. I dumped a ton of time into building out my cellar and documenting it here but when I went to buy more space it wouldn’t add. They were happy enough to take my money though. Guess I am moving on.

No longer supported

It would appear that the author of what is a neat little app left the stage some years ago and the app is unsupported. I needed to reinstall the app on my phone and it no longer recognises the spaces I have already purchased, ie the “restore” function does not work and I refuse to buy them again. My email went unanswered. Use something else!

Out of business?

Can’t link to my Dropbox database, no help from email link on app, and app help from the App Store links to expired domain. Looks like I’ll need to use a new app and re-enter a ton of ton, plus no history.

Not supported anymore

This app hasn’t been updated in four years and you can’t do online searches. Buy another app.

Response from developer

A fair verdict at the time, and I'm sorry. The app was written in an older language that had become very hard to update, and for a long stretch I couldn't say whether it would be supported again. New development tools changed that, and version 5.0 is a full rebuild: a redesigned interface, reliable purchases and restores, backup and transfer of your whole cellar, CSV import and export, and Find a Wine — a wine catalogue search that fills in the details for you instead of making you type them. If you'd give it another look, I'd welcome the feedback via Settings → About → Email Support; that route is monitored now.

No service

App worked great for a couple years. Then few months ago when I went to upload newest file to my iPhones, it defaulted to a may 2020 version. The Dropbox preview shows 11/21 but won’t download that version. I reached out to tech support but no response x 2. Also the internet search option no longer works. It seems this app has been abandoned by it’s makers.

Don’t buy now

This used to be good and useful but you cannot perform online searches anymore. The app owners don’t respond to queries and I imagine are not interested in upkeep - just want to take your money! Don’t buy.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry for the lack of response at the time. The app was built on an older codebase that became increasingly difficult to maintain, and support was not sustained to the standard it should have been. Improved development tools have since allowed us to rebuild the app completely. Version 5.0 restores wine lookup as Find a Wine, now based on a wine catalogue bundled within the app itself: it works offline and does not depend on an external service that can be withdrawn. Purchases and restoration also work correctly, and Settings → About → Email Support now reaches us directly and is actively monitored. We would welcome your feedback if you choose to try it again.

Lookup of Wines Does Not Work

This app used to look up wines via the internet when you typed in a name and filled in that info for you. Now the lookup no longer works and you have to enter everything manually. Not nearly as useful as it used to be when I first bought the app.

Used to be great

Too bad they let dust build on this old wine cellar, because being able to access their wine cellar database was what made this a killer app. Now some simple programming error (or they stopped paying their subscription fee to who ever was maintaining the database) causes an error when looking up wine. Either way, time to find a new wine cellar app.

Stopped working with the new iOS download

Don’t waste your money on this. I’ve spent hours filling in my wines (after paying for the extra storage) and after downloading the iOS 14.3 the data will NOT open. Can’t do anything with this app it starts to open and the just goes away.

WHAT THE F¥<%?!!

I just updated my iPhone to iOS 14.3 and now the app won’t open. I have the upgraded version and now 3 years of inventory is lost? No support, no nothing! Buy a different app. This one is worthless now. WAS a great app.
