Let’s find your wine. Pocket Somm helps you choose from a wine list—or find a wine direction when you don’t have one. Start with what you’re eating, the occasion, or the kind of wine you feel like. SCAN A LIST Photograph a wine list or import an image or PDF. Compare up to three compact picks with price and a short note about fit, pairing, listed region or approved producer context when available. Expand a pick for region, grape, body, tasting notes, pairing guidance, and sources. General style expectations are labeled, and missing details stay clear. Choose your color, budget, and bottle or by-the-glass preference. Adjust the current list without scanning again. NO LIST? GET IDEAS Describe dinner, a gathering with friends, or a style you enjoy. Get grape and regional directions, food-pairing context, and useful words to ask a shop or server. These are styles to look for; bottle prices and availability need checking. USEFUL CONTEXT, CLEAR LIMITS General grape and regional tendencies stay distinct from verified bottle information. A built-in library of reviewed sources supports the style and pairing guidance, including offline use. When bottle details are missing, an optional web-search link helps you look further; external results are not automatically added to the recommendation. When a request or list does not provide enough detail, Pocket Somm helps you clarify instead of inventing a wine story. THE PEOPLE BEHIND POCKET SOMM Pocket Somm began with brothers-in-law Tim and Joe: a sommelier and wine distributor, and the relative who kept sending him wine-list photos. Preferred producers and wines come from Tim’s personal portfolio. The app’s broader style guidance does not imply he has tasted or endorsed every bottle. REMEMBER WHAT YOU ENJOY Save a wine for later or record what you ordered. Add notes and bottle photos, revisit your lists, explore wine regions, and refine your taste profile. Saved-for-later wines stay distinct from wines you’ve actually tasted. ON YOUR DEVICE Wine-list text recognition and recommendation matching run on your device. No account or advertising. Requests, saved lists, notes, photos, and taste preferences stay in app storage. A public wine-context feed downloads automatically without sending your list or taste profile. Web-search links open a browser and send the wine query to a search provider. Voice and weather are optional and can use external services; the privacy page explains those providers, local deletion, and the limits of device backups and provider logs. Confirm the wine, vintage, serving size, and price with the restaurant or shop. Pocket Somm does not sell alcohol.

Verdict

The call

True Food Kitchen and Pocket.Somm both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Pocket.Somm's written reviews are positive against 51% of True Food Kitchen's. Pocket.Somm also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). True Food Kitchen's advantage is ratings volume (7.2K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
