Most functions don’t work well
Doesn’t scan more than one wine in 5. Search is missing lots of wines that I’ve bought recently in Vintages in LCBO. Not really sure what the point is if it can’t do these basics.
Poor selection of items
Very poor selection of items. Numerous bottles, not one found.
une bouteille sur 1 scan
perte de temps , seulement 1 bouteille sur 5 scan , tout mes produits sont de la SAQ , l’app comporte des glitchs , l’app se referme continuellement. par contre l’interface est bien fait par rapport à d’autres apps …
Wonderful-for Ontarians.
First things first: Natalie is a phenomenal taster. I’ve never bought a high rated bottle that didn’t deserve the accolade. It is true, though, that you have to pay an annual subscription of about $30 to get much out of it.
More annoying is the heavy Ontario-centric basis of the app. Most of the top rosés are from Niagara, but BCL doesn’t sell ANYTHING from Ontario. The prices, too, are from LCBO (ie cheaper than BC) even though the BCL prices are online and the app knows where I am. Okanagan wines are under-represented, presumably because Natalie doesn’t encounter them in Ontario.
EDIT: I don’t know if the search function has been improved or I just missed it before, but you can search by varietal, country, etc. The label scanner is rubbish, as others have said, so that option seldom works. Using Top 10 plus the search function gets you where you need to go most of the time though.

Buggy
Very buggy app. Camera scan great for the first scan, then doesn’t work after the first scan. It often get the wine wrong.
