However, I wish it had 2 additional features…I can’t write notes about the wines I’m researching and thinking of purchasing without writing a review. If I already tried it I wouldn’t need to document the research. I have to use another well known app to make my notes. The second is that the app does not summarize your favorite wines by wine shops. Everyone knows buying in cases optimizes the shipping costs/bottle. So I have to use another excel spreadsheet to track which shops are carrying my soon to be purchased wines so that when I make a case I can order. Other than these issues I love this app!!! ### 4/5 — Greta app *2026-02-14* Although wine classification is very subjective, the app brings good guidance on choosing. I like it. The only negative comment is about prick in Brazil. It does not shot the prices or the most common sellers and generally shows discount prices. ### 3/5 — Local search has degraded significantly *2026-02-06, version 7.10.2* I used to be able to narrow my search to my state and, by un-selecting the check box that included stores that ship to my state, I could force the app to display several in-state stores that carry my searched wine locally. Now it seems that without a paid subscription, this function has been overridden to only show me out of state stores that presumably pay for preferred placement. Yeah, I get that, but I’m not about to drive to New Jersey to get a bottle I want for dinner tonight. So the app has now become useful only to get a general idea of average prices nationally. ### 4/5 — 빈티지 선택 오류 *2025-12-02* 와인을 빈티지별로 비교하는 부분에서 빈티지를 선택하는 부분이 스와이프가 되지 않습니다. 개선 바랍니다. ### 3/5 — Unless without a subscription *2025-10-17, version 7.7.1* Maybe if you’re looking for the best delivery price, it’s a good app. Without a subscription, no tasting notes so it’s useless to me. I’m finally done as the subscription is too expensive for the value. Deleted. ### 4/5 — This is wine searcher engine *2025-10-10, version 7.6* It has not mis a beat love it and it gives good options, highly recommend to wine lover ### 4/5 — Château des Rontets *2025-10-03, version 7.6* Je cherche en belgique, uniquement un revendeur visible… ### 2/5 — Assinei a versão pro mas não aparecem as ofertas *2025-09-26* Cobra mas não entregam ### 3/5 — Used to work well *2025-06-28, version 7.1* I have used wine searcher for a number of years. A couple of months ago it stopped working. No changes in my iPhone 16 pro max. Sometimes would search the wine but never show shops or other information. Had a subscription, cancelled it and deleted the app. ### 4/5 — 와인 셀러 정보가 다 날아갔네요 *2025-06-28* 셀러 관리 기능을 잘 쓰고 있었는데, 며칠전부터 홈페이지에서 셀러 메뉴로 들어가면 에러 페이지가 뜨고 앱에서만 표시가 되더니,오늘 앱에 들어가보니 셀러가 비었다고 나오네요 ㅜㅜ 그동안 저장한 정보가 다 날아간 것 같습니다. 버그 픽스 및 복구 예정이 있으신가요? ### 4/5 — New update feedback *2025-05-23, version 7.0* Love the new update but please fix the Cellar Tracker integration. When you click 'shop' from CT, it now doesn't search or pull up the wine in the new version of the app. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Latest update makes me want to cancel *2026-06-20, version 7.16.1* It’s rare that an update actually makes an app LESS useful. It’s even stranger when the developer goes out of their way to remove a feature instead of just leaving well enough alone. The latest update reduces the ability to set a search radius - used to be you could choose 5, 10, 20, whatever miles - and instead only allows two options, in state only or “near me” which sets a hard radius of 50 miles. 50 miles is useless to people who live in major metropolitan areas - say, NYC, a huge market for wine searcher - when the city is about 10 miles wide and the vast majority aren’t driving. Same for Chicago, San Fran, wherever. Anyway, it makes the app somewhat useless for me so I’ll be cancelling my subscription until the search radius is settable again. ### 1/5 — Total scam *2026-03-06, version 7.12* I was hopeful, but ultimately astonished that they do not control any of the people that participate. I reached out to Wine-Searcher directly and asked for help when they failed to ship me a case of wine that I ordered. They said I need to take it up with the shop I ordered it from. Offered no support no help. I subsequently tried to pursue the individual purveyor to no avail. $700 down the drain. Do not use the people associated with this app under any circumstance. ### 1/5 — New version 6/3/26 *2026-03-06, version 7.12* Plenty of timeout issues and bad gateways… ### 1/5 — Verify verify verify *2026-01-18* Verified 100 times and it keeps coming up. Giving you 1 star and a review so you know I’m not a bot **Developer response:** Sorry to hear the frustration this has caused. We would like to investigate exactly what’s happening with your account and fix this for you immediately. Could you please send us an email at feedback@wine-searcher.com? This will allow us to pull your specific logs, figure out why the system is flagging you, and get your access restored. We hope to have the chance to turn this experience around for you. ### 1/5 — Pro not working *2025-11-23, version 7.10* I upgraded to Pro and it still doesn’t give me the Pro results. Dumb. ### 1/5 — Please fix *2025-11-07, version 7.8* The app is a mess right now. Can’t click favorite stores. The filter refreshes everytime. Have used the app for many years and enjoyed it, until recently. Pls fix. ### 1/5 — Changed app *2025-10-18, version 7.7.1* App was formerly 5 stars. The latest change to the app is dismal. Whichever rocket scientists thought the changes were a good idea need to be fired. Thank you for your attention to this matter. ### 1/5 — Unstable Platform *2025-07-15, version 7.3* The platform used to work well but nowadays is very unstable ### 1/5 — Practically useless for searching for wines! *2025-05-27, version 7.0* Hard to believe that the one thing in the apps name, is the thing it really can't do. Let's say you want a Very Dry Merlot. The app can't help you with that. It can help you order one of their Merlot's but you can't filter for sweetness or anything else. It SHOULD provide a list of wines from everywhere, based on what you're searching for, and you could then find who sells those wines. But nope. It only shows what they're selling. We want an app that's a "Consumer Reports" for wine, but I haven't found one yet. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t show the same results as website *2025-04-14, version 6.15.5* You don’t get all the results if you’re not willing to pay.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top!! 👍 *2026-08-06* Top!!👍 ### 5/5 — Wine searcher *2026-07-12, version 7.17* Excellent. A site much used by me. Incredibly informative & seems v accurate. ### 5/5 — Go to wine app *2026-06-18, version 7.16.1* I have been using this app for years. Best for finding the wines I am interested in ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-14, version 7.15.1* I’ve been using this app for years. It’s really easy to use and has been very helpful end looking to buy, drink now etc and it’s free! ### 5/5 — Excellent site *2026-02-15, version 7.11* This is probably the best site for finding the best price on your favorite spirit or wine, it has become our go to for the best prices ### 5/5 — Very good !! *2025-12-27* Almost all labels you search for come with reliable reviews and accurate market prices; additionally, many labels include detailed information about regions and vintages. The only downsides are few app crashes and price in Brazil that is quite expensive. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-10-03, version 7.6* Love the fact this app gives the prices of each wine. ### 5/5 — Waste of time *2025-04-16, version 6.15.5* Fails to recognise most wines in French supermarket ### 5/5 — Amateur wine lover/drinker *2025-03-28, version 6.15.4* The source for me for all wine related insights, reviews and pricing ### 5/5 — Vino Bravo! *2024-11-26, version 6.14* Wine Searcher opens up beautifully! What a Score! And always near my heart in my pocket. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
