Excellent content and functionality

I have been using the newly released app for several years and I think it's tremendous. The search feature is well done, allowing both casual browsing and laser-focused precision. I'm a fan of WS wine critics and scoring as well, so this app is ideal for me.

Declining app

This app has become less and less useful. Many wine rating searches turn up zero results. Time for me to abandon this app.

So far not impressed

I have yet to find a bottle in this app that I am drinking or thinking of buying. Just looked for Santa Barbara Syrah and got multiple bottles from only a few wineries. A. It more diversification would be appreciated.

Won’t let me sign in

Already have a web based subscription, but the app won’t let me sign in. Just promos an App Store based subscription.

Subscription does not work

App will allow you to subscribe but then it doesn’t recognize the subscription when trying to log in. Unusable.
