ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wine Guide & Encyclopedia holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wine Guide & Encyclopedia has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Geographic Encyclopedia's written reviews are positive against 0% of Wine Guide & Encyclopedia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Geographic Encyclopedia ships an update every 4 weeks, Wine Guide & Encyclopedia every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
