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.

Works well for me…

I use to catalogue cellar and get reviews and it works for me

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

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.

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.

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.

Used to be ok

This app used to be fairly good. It hasn’t been updated in a while and some features don’t work properly. Online Search doesn’t work at all.

Help

Years of wine and pics and the app just blows up. I bought the increased storage and th support website doesn’t work

Appears not to be supported anymore

When I bought a few years ago there were not many wine cellar apps. This was better than the other one I tried. But even from the beginning it often did not find the wine I was entering from the online search feature. If it did it find it it usually was not a current vintage. Entering 2015 rarely found a 2015 (or even a 2013 or 2014) but more likely a 2009 vintage version.

Like someone else reviewed, the online search no longer works. The process is very manual and can take 30 minutes to add 12 different bottles.

There are probably better apps out there so I would look at those first especially since this app has not had an update in over 2 years.

With over 100 bottles in my collection and 50 different types, it will probably be too difficult to change at this point.

Deleted it

After it being one of my most used apps for years, it stopped working with IOS4.2. A reinstall will get the app working again but you will lose your data if you don’t have it on another device. With no update for two years, no auto iCloud backup, this app is deprecated and I have deleted it permanently. I recommend avoiding it.
