While I agree with others that the content should come free with the print and online subscriptions, the app is very easy and quick to use in restaurants and other situations where you want a quick check on a couple of ratings. The app is very easy to check and the database is extensive.
Not great, but not bad. Does not have all wines and vintages but general information.
Handy. Does what it says it does, and is quick and free from obvious bugs.
When it worked Id give it 4 stars. However, for the past couple months it fails to search for any wines. Also, if I tap on a wine under the top 100 picks of 2014, the wine name pops up but the content never loads; you just get the loading symbol that goes and goes and goes. Since Im paying money for the subscription, it would really be nice if it worked. No app update or bug fixes since Jan. 2015.
Its fast, intuitive and hasnt let me down yet.
Not a week goes by with me using the WS app.
I was pleased to see an update to this app. The subscription fee was always making me wonder if I should continue. Well this update is great. Way more features and I love the news feed. Great work!
Looks hideous. Cant you come up with something better?
This app is so deep, I love how much better I can enjoy and understand wine. This is a must app for both the beginner and experienced wine drinker.
Wine Spectator is my go to for making great choices and purchased. This App is my shopping companion I dont buy without it. Great App for wine lovers.
Its a great idea, similar to Leafly BUT you cant really use any of the features without doing a 30-day free trail. Meh.
Had to pay just to save a list of favorites. No thanks.
They state the pro version is 2.99. However, if you read the terms, it says a monthly subscription of 2.99. Pretty deceptive. Removing.
I love the concept, but for some reason, the only wines available to me are an Australian one called "Blood of the Elderly" and one from California called "Capri-Sun Pacific Cooler." Do I have to buy the pro version to unlock the other wines?
2.99 a month? Virtually no info without a paid subscription? Dont bother!
I pay full freight for this content happily. But recent design changes have added more work for the user to find what they are looking for. What used to be a good autocomplete on a character by character text entry has, with the latest design, made the user work harder to find what they are looking for. Frustration. Bring back the old interface.
There is no other wine app out there that has all of this content. Although I am already a subscriber, I am happy to pay extra to have all of this info in my pocket at all times!
I use this app every time Im in a restaurant or wine shop. Really improves my chances of finding the right wine.
There are a few other ratings apps, but this, by far, has the best ratings. Paying 3 bucks is worth it if it means the difference between buying a great bottle of wine and a subpar one.
