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.
Wine Spectator is trustworthy
They do truly blind tastings.
The reviews are detailed and it also gives me an idea of when they will drink their best and how long to cellar.
It’s simple for anyone to understand.

App no longer loads my subscription as being active. No way to contact the company. Keeps charging me and no access.
Limited Coverage
I have found this app to be lacking in up to date reviews. Standing in the store my success rate (finding a review of 2021-2022 wines maybe 1 in 5.
Subscription Paywall
I already subscribe to print and digital, so was surprised to find the app also requires a separate additional subscription. Subscription fatigue is a thing for a reason. I understand the technical integrations on the backend make it difficult for the dev team to understand who is already subscribing to what, but luring loyal subscribers (or anyone really) from the App Store to slam into an immediate paywall is very bad customer experience. WS should know better.

1997 brunello argiano
Just opened a bottle this week the wine turn breakers red and not drinkable. So the Brunellos don’t hold as well as the French? I always thought brunello could hold For 30 years or more?
Easy to use & reliable
I have had this app for quite a few years and found it easy to use. And WS provides reliable reviews that are not overly inflated like some other review sites. Highly recommended.
Can’t login
Started new subscription online … but there is nowhere to put in username and passcode. It’s just selling the 2.99 subscription (no way to cancel / X out).
Love Wine Spectator!
This app is terrific!! Makes looking up wines to read reviews and see scores easy! Convenient for wine shops and restaurants!!
App will not load
I downloaded the app. When I try to subscribe, it just spins infinitely. This occurs on my phone and iPad. Not worth the frustration.
App doesn’t allow subscription
Just circles endlessly when trying to sign up for paid subscription. Useless.

Nothing for me
I get nothing out of this app. On the rare occasions (maybe 1 out of 5) that I find the wine I’m searching for, the newest vintage is 8 or 10 years old. Maybe it works for somebody but not for me, I’ll be canceling my subscription.
Terrible customer service!
My subscription expired but my attempt to renew on the app did not work. Called customer service to resolve twice. Unsuccessful because reps can barely speak English and could not explain a confusing array of options. Finally, I gave up. Renewing not worth hassle.
