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.
Disappointed - used to be good
She clearly is an expert in her field. But the app hasn’t been upgraded in years. adverts of “best wine app” must be really outdated...
I lost all my saved info. And you can’t set your location (so prices and shopping suggestions are pointless). Website looks like it has potential, but I want an app.

Great app
Great app. When paired with subscription to monthly wine reviews (Cheap!) this is fantastic for purchasing good wines at prices at local liquor store. Love the shopping cart feature. I can show the bottle or LCBO # to store employees to find my wines quickly.
Crashes
As much as I’d like to love this app, it crashes every time I try to update a wine I’ve scanned.
Deceptive
If you want the score of a wine it says you need to register to become part of the community it’s free..... so you join only to find out it’s not free, free trial but then pay. Not sure how they got around apples policy as it does not say in app purchases in the store.
Very limited
Upon downloading I liked the look of the app but.... First two bottles I scanned could not be found. Searched a well known Australian brand by name and a very poor selection of their wines was represented. Just no point going further with this app.
Overpriced
The price is burning into my wine fund. However neat idea. Didn’t have the year of the wine I needed! Not for me.
Very pleased
The app has worked very well for me. Having LCBO wines and their stock levels at nearby stores is great!
Not free
It doesn't say in app purchases, but if you want anything you have to do a monthly subscription. Misleading. Moderately useful app information.
Great app very useful
I have tried several wine apps, this has to be the best so far. I mailed the company and owner to add a wine to database it was done within a few days with a thank you email.
App didn't work
The scanner works sometimes, but wouldn't give me reviews w/out joining their community. Even then I'd have to by a subscription to get the review.
Only app with label scanner and bar code reader
Plus Canadian prices and stock in Canadian stores. Fast and accurate.
My trusted App for everything wine
From wine reviews to best value purchases this app will guide you to enjoyable wine every time. It is easy to use, links with store availability and through the wine cellar allows you to keep track of all your wine and your reviews for future purchases. Even find food pairings to elevate your enjoyment to the next level.
Thanks Natalie and team for continuing to listen to your users and improving the experience with each release.

I already loved this ap but now now it's even better - it makes buying wine so easy!
Makes it so much easier to choose wine. Like taking your own personal Sommelier with you.
Very useful
Want to save time looking for good wines and finding the stores that have them? Or knowing the best wines at the store you are visiting? Here is the app that does that. Complete with reviews, and easy scanning of bar codes and labels!
