### 2/5 — Хорошая идея с плохой реализацией

*2015-05-06*

Это приложение с хорошей идеей совершенно бестолковое. Главное замечание в том, что полезная информация в приложении - это перевод Гугла без каких либо правок и редактирования. Другими словами, статьи о вине и винном винограде взяты с зарубежных источников и грубо, и криво переведены Гуглом. А ведь это единственно важный элемент приложения. Остальные функции легко заменить любым другим приложением, которых огромное множество в AppStore. Очень не советую скачивать / устанавливать это приложение. Я крайне разочарован.

### 2/5 — Français bof

*2013-06-04, version 1.0.7*

L'application semble intéressante mais dans la description des cépages la lecture est très difficile.  Le français n'est vraiment pas une qualité dans cette app.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2013-01-12*

Previous versions worked great. This version crashes when you try to open. We lost our entire wine database.  Hopefully a patch comes soon and the data is salvaged.

### 2/5 — Rating

*2011-11-19, version 1.0.1*

Should have a list explaining different wine on the market along with places ciltivated.

### 1/5 — Lost years worth of data...

*2017-03-31*

DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!!

Like the other reviewer, I got this app, expecting it to have a small library- but there was an update recently that LOST ALL OF MY WINES!  All of them.  Incuding wines that we got on vacation.

Gone.

Thanks for nothing.

Edit, I did as instructed, but did not work. I do not use the cloud, so the new set up does not work.

**Developer response:** This user clearly wanted to affect the App's reputation and ratings through false statements.  And like other reviewers,  the did not follow the migration instruction (PDF link) to recover their wines. This was necessary to improve the App and finally support iCloud. Their data is not lost, they just ignored the instructions and blamed the App instead.   

DOWNLOAD THE APP !!! and see for yourself

### 1/5 — Очень плохо

*2017-03-31*

Обновилось и все пропало? Где все вина за несколько лет? Вы нормальные? Прочитав комментарий на свой отзыв, я удивлён. Вы что сделали? Вывесили инструкцию? 1.ее нужно сначала найти. 2. Нужно иметь комп с iTunes, которого у меня нет. 3. Нужно поплясать с бубном и путём каких то хитрых компьютерных манипуляций и подменой имён файлов заставить новую версию принять старую базу!!! Нужно было автоматизировать этот процесс с минимальным вмешательством пользователя. P.s. Коллекция старых вин бесследно исчезла!

**Developer response:** Эта оценка абсолютно неверна и, очевидно, является попыткой повлиять на репутацию приложения. После поддержки iCloud Winebook предложила инструкцию PDF для отслеживания и восстановления старых вин. Данные пользователя не исчезли, он просто проигнорировал инструкцию по миграции и обвинил в этом приложение.

### 1/5 — Donnees perdues

*2016-12-31, version 2.0.0*

Perdu mes entrées des 3 dernieres années Sans raison. Pas contente. App très decevante. Ne vais plus l'utiliser.

### 1/5 — New version is worthless

*2016-12-22*

I've used this app for years. The new version deleted all my years worth of data, and even if I had any inclination to use it again, it will apparently only let you store 10 wines. Definitely finding a new app!

**Developer response:** This review is completely false and clearly an attempt to affect the reputation of the App. After supporting iCloud, Winebook offered a PDF instruction to track and recover your old wines. The user's data has not disappeared, he / she simply ignored the migration instruction and blamed the application instead.

Of course, the App will let you store 10 wines because it's a free version. You need to pay for unlimited wines. You don't work for free, or do you?

### 1/5 — После обновления исчезла моя винотека!!!! Как так??

*2016-12-18*

После обновления все исчезло.. Два года собирала коллекцию своих вин. (((((

**Developer response:** Вины пользователя не удалены. Мы предлагаем учебный миграционный PDF-файл для отслеживания и восстановления после обновления iCloud. ICloud использует другое хранилище и было необходимо, чтобы вывести Winebook на следующий уровень.

Игнорируйте этот отзыв. Миграция старых вин действительно существует, и iCloud con теперь хранит тысячи вин, не замедляя работу приложения.

### 1/5 — mr

*2016-12-17, version 2.0.0*

The latest version crashes, dont go pro its rubbish, there are better apps out there for free.
Dont waste your money

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-02-14, version 1.2.4*

Upgraded to pro so that I could use the bar code scanner. It doesn't work, totally useless.

### 1/5 — Free version

*2015-07-03*

Cannot figure out how to add inventory, don't waste your time with this app.

**Developer response:** False review. Winebook is actually one of the best wine inventory Apps in the market. The inventory is intuitive and very easy to use.  Even an inventory widget was created to enhance the App.

### 1/5 — Useless since iOS 8

*2014-10-05*

Loved it before but now it freezes 100% of the time. Dropdowns don't populate causing it to freeze and crash. Can't enter new wines or rate wines that were already in the app. Useless.

**Developer response:** It's been years since this error was fixed.  Winebook now works flawlessly with many new features added since then.

### 1/5 — I could compile more information using Notepad

*2013-04-08*

Doesn't provide much more than organized sections to enter data.  Went to look for a cab...it pulled up one.

### 5/5 — El mejor app de Vino en español!

*2013-12-08*

Para principiantes y fans del buen vino les ayudará a aprender. No tiene precio!

### 5/5 — Winebook

*2013-02-03*

Просто и удобно в использовании, подробная градация по странам, регионам, винограду

### 4/5 — Lost everything

*2013-02-04*

Just downloaded the latest version an I lost everything. NOW WHAT. I lost 3 years of wine information. They should give us the Winebook Pro for free it won't bring back the lost information but it would help ease the pain.

The latest update on January 31 returned three year of wine inventory. Thank you for fixing the problem.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2012-12-25, version 1.0.5*

Found it easy to use.
Only thimg missing: the ability to transfert a wine's description to another device (iPod/iPad).

### 4/5 — Great app, shame can't import from " lite" version

*2012-10-11, version 1.0.4*

I started using the lite version, but there are a number of grape varieties missing on that version, so I upgraded, but there isn't any facility to import data from lite to pro. Apart from that, it's very good, easy to use and let's you track your wine cellar make notes etc. nice feature you can take a photo of the bottle, for easy recognition later. My advice, try lite if you are in doubt, but don't record too much info before upgrading. Only 4 stars as you can't import existing data.

### 4/5 — Great free wine app

*2012-09-03, version 1.0.3*

Nice little free wine app, however one item thats missing, which I understand is in the pro version is the ability to add your own grape types .. as its missing a few types. Would be a great free app if this was included. Do not need to add the extra info about the grapes in the free app, ( all the grape types that is), just the chance to add new ones. 

Worry that if I upgrade, will lose my wine list. Need to have a working up grade path, even if its only a method of emailing the list, or exporting and then importing.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2012-03-15*

Good easy to use app to keep track of wines. Unfortunately doesn't include Shiraz as a type.

### 3/5 — Fix barcode!

*2015-10-16, version 1.2.1*

This app has some potential. I like the inventory features. The Barcode scanner doesn't work so we have to manually enter the information. Time consuming! Please fix...

### 3/5 — CLOUD!!!!!

*2013-03-31*

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, put this app on the Cloud so that I can use it on my phone when away from home and my iPad when home. Hopefully doing this will also help users from losing all of their inventory data!!!!

PLEASE!!!!!

### 2/5 — Weak

*2020-10-02, version 3.3*

Just downloaded. First attempt at using. 
No instructions or guidelines on how to use. Had to go “poking around”.  Would not allow picture upload from the app’s own camera. 
Limited space for user notes on wine. 
I’ll continue using........for now.
