CellarView Wine Cellar Tracker holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Wine Cellar's written reviews are positive against 14% of CellarView Wine Cellar Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wine Cellar ships an update every 3 months, CellarView Wine Cellar Tracker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
