Does many things better than the new app
I’ve been using CellarTracker for over 10 years, long before there was an app. Is this app great? Not at all, the website does many things way better, especially when managing multiple bottles. But this is nice for finding a specific bottle to open, and for removing it from your cellar. I write this review to contrast it with the new app. That one is far less focused on your cellar and more on wine in general. (I’m expecting that they’ll be selling ad space to wineries soon.) It’s less of a “cellar tracker” and more of a “cellar filler” and wine guide. While I don’t expect this app to be further developed, I’m hoping they incorporate this feedback into the direction of the new app. Or at least keep this one functional.
Little Improvement.
I really want to like this app. Even with the latest release, this app is very limited and does not provide many features. The UI still seems quite dated and is not very intuitive. I find Vivino to be much better as a free product. If you could provide price, transparency, user reviews and expert tasting notes, I would see, and even pay for, value.
Straightforward, capable database
I’ve loved this app. I’ve voluntarily paid since the beginning of use in 2019. I’ll admit I paid what I considered a reasonable value for the service, $40 a year or equivalent of a decent bottle of wine for me. I don’t need reviews. I don’t need a “community”. I don’t need “drink now” assistance or photos. I just need the database function and that is solid in this app. I dread the day the old app is cut off and the upgrade to the new version is mandatory. I will not pay the excessive rates they expect. My cost would be 10x higher per year which far exceeds the value for a database function. I’ll drop it when that occurs. It’ll be a pity, but I can’t imagine the server space for my data costs that much to maintain.
New app has poor UI
The new version is downright painful to use. Luckily, the old version is still functional and saves the day. If they turn the old version off, my 500+ bottle cellar will go back to existing in Excel.
It’s good for some not for all
I have been using it for some time. It’s excellent for tracking inventory. As far as valuing your cellar or drinking windows it’s not very accurate. I’ve emailed (as another review online suggested) to have values adjusted for market and only received lip service and a refusal to adjust the prices. Almost across the board the values assigned by cellar tracker are lower than wine searcher or any prices I’ve seen on the shelves. It is good for charts and keeping your own notes on wines and it used to track the price I paid for the bottles (as a cellar total $) but I can’t find that now so you only get their cellar value and have to look at each individual bottle to see what you paid and total it yourself. Correct me if I’m wrong. I will probably pay the $60.00 annually because there is just enough benefit to it.
Much better than the “new” version
This does what one wants, the new one is garbage, tries to be social media not a serious wine program
Bummer
I’m not a fan of developers that get you to invest hours of time loading data into their app and then start charging $40 a year for a service they used to provide for free. I used to be able to view ending drink date to avoid bottles aging out in my cellar. Not anymore 😞
Excellent app
Easy to use and much better than the new version.
Dated and Clunky
The interface is dated and clunky and is in dire need of a UX developer. The only feature that really seemed useful was the Ready to Drink list and now that’s a subscription feature, so the app is literally just a simple list of the wine I have. I could just as easily use a spreadsheet.
What happened to Corkz?
Hey, I love CellarTracker, although the Corkz app had a much better visual graphics orientation. But recently, it seems like the Corkz app no longer connect to the database for CellarTracker. Did you guys have anything to do with this? Is there any chance that we your customers could convince you to reverse whatever happened?
Please maintain Legacy
As soon as I saw the updated Legacy tag on the Icon I thought, “its only a matter of time before they stop supporting this app.” Please keep this app available. I agree with many of the other comments that the UI of the new app is just plain awful.
Useless App Now
I was a big fan of this app but now every useful feature costs money and in my opinion too much money for the features offered.
I have used this app since 2/12/2019. Am happy with this product in general. I would appreciate the ability to scan PDF files into each wine portfolio. I would think access to those PDF files would gained in the “Learn more about this wine” heading. Because space on your servers may be an issue, a third party storage connection could be used. For example DropBox. Any 3rd party vendor of your choice may be looking for that opportunity. Or have it be a choice for a user to have that option.
Dissapponting
I used CT for 8 years. Prolly the best app out there when I started my cellar. Since then I’ve had to pay a yearly ‘voluntary’ assessment and if I missed the payment by one day then I lost data (voluntary - hmmm). Through the 8 years there’s been few changes/upgrades/improvements and now they want to charge me $160/year to use it. I’ve started looking at other apps with better evaluations (CT’s were always off), more comprehensive wine info, free critics ratings, easier functionality, much better graphics and 3D models of my wine room; all for 60% of the cost. If the designer is interested I suggest you hold off on the mandatory costs, upgrade your app and then ask for money. It’s hard to make a tough management decision that risks today dollars.
I like it but,…
My one complaint, my cellar consist of racks in various rooms, and each rack with 50 to 60 bottles on each rack, totaling just under 400 bottles. Finding that bottle is a game of hide and seek. Take a look at how VinoCell does storage, much better. So why am I here , I like the bar code scan, in this app, but I hate the storage option. Fix it and I’ll likely send a payment and move to this app.
Older but better
A much more intuitive version that does what you actually want. The new search features such while using this older version makes it easier to see what you actually have in stock instead of giving you options to choose that you don’t even own
Disappointed - looking for alternatives
Sad you removed features from the prior generation app in order to charge a subscription fee for them. Poor customer message in there. These features included: - best drink-by date for your cellared wines - best consumption window - restaurant style wine list It costs you nothing to retain those existing features, but then again, if you’re desperate for a buck…
Resourceful app, but needs updates!!
I use the app to read quality reviews from consumers who seem to be avid wine drinkers with experienced palates. The general rating for each wine gives me a good indication of the quality of the wine. I do find many wines to have a lot longer shelf life or prime drinking window than most people share. The latest version needs up update asap! There is a horizontal thick bar that comes halfway down the reviews when reading them. It’s clearly a glitch. I’ve deleted and redownloaded a couple times to see if it’s something else. No luck. Secondly, when using the search bar, I wish it would remember my previous searches below so I can simply click on it again if needed. I do go back and forth to compare different wines and vintages and would love to see this feature. If you are a developer, please listen to your target audience and make these subtle yet cleaner and more streamlined changes and updates. Thank you!
Time for a major update
It gets the job done in the sense that a Model A Ford will get you to the wine shop in town. But the app is clumsy, difficult to navigate, and has a terrible user interface.
Altbackenes Interface und langsam
Die App scheint die brauchbarste im App Store zu sein, um seine eigenen Weine unabhängig von Verkäufern oder Händlern zu katalogisieren und zu bewerten. Allerdings ist das Interface unglaublich altbacken und die App insgesamt wirklich extrem langsam. Hier wäre eine Aktualisierung wirklich angebracht, dann wäre das eine App, für die ich gerne auch (einen einmaligen Kaufpreis) bezahlen würde.
More efficient than the new app
This app is great. I’ve got 650 bottles. This is by far the best I’ve used. Please keep supporting this version.
Basic
May as well use a spreadsheet, at least that you can sort and get a visual.
Needs an update for iOS 16.4
Been using Cellar Tracker as a paying customer for years. With the 16.4 update to iOS and iPadOS, the Cellar Tracker banner, which is usually locked to the top of the screen, now intermittently appears in random places on the screen when scrolling through a list of wines. Not a dealbreaker, but it gets annoying after awhile.
Worth the price
Since it’s free, that is. App is a pain to use. Not very intuitive. Label identification doesn’t always work and difficult if it gets it wrong. Hard to drink a bottle too. Hard to change details, name particularly. Lots of unwanted features, at least for me. Would gladly pay for a more intuitive interface. I just want to buy bottles, store them, take tasting notes sometimes, drink or remove them. Want easier to identify location in app. Easier to search cellar.
Won't open when offline
This is actually a pretty good app, but scored only three because it won't open at all when offline. Need offline function if you want to look at 'My Cellar' when not connected.
App seems legit. Customer service is rude
Just be aware.
Needs work
Need some usability and UX updates. Banner stick in screen when scrolling. Been using this for awhile and updates are way to slow for modern app offering.
Good, functional, needs updating/tweaking
I am a paying customer and have been for quite a few years. It’s very helpful to manage my recently growing inventory. A few things to improve: - A sort by delivery date. When I get a lot of new wine in, I’d like to be able to sort the new stuff out so I’m not considering it to drink while it is resting from travel. - Really need a flag, tab, a sort, to keep track of wines that have been Coravined. Right now the only way to do that in the app is to put a bottle note in, and can’t sort on that! - I find they have 99% + of the wines I get already identified. However, I agree with other comments that when you do get something not already identified, the add new wine process is cumbersome and time consuming, and you usually have to go the website to do it. - I have talked to them before about this and it hasn’t been done yet, but being able to copy an entry on the app would be a great time saver. When you get different wines from the same winery or place and all you really need to change is wine info, cost and location, copying all the other information per entry would be very helpful! I hope the developer is watching!
Poor support
Recently unable to perform online search for wines. Emailed support without any reply. Poor support. I suppose they don’t need any more app purchases...
No international settings, about as friendly as a hungry alligator
Firstly there is no way of changing date format or currency symbol used, so you are left with US date and $. Navigation is dreadful, and after hours of using it I have discovered I can do most things, but finding the links to achieve something simple like amending the number of bottles of a particular wine in your cellar is non intuitive. Looking up by barcode and label is great for recent purchases, but it failed to identify about half of my 41 different wines. Although free it asks continually for donations, which I would do if it worked better, but not as it is.
Brilliant Cellar Manager
I’ve been using CellarTracker for about 15 years. First online, and then with the app as well. They are a powerful team, easy to use, with invaluable community wine reviews, and a simple, effective UI. Bravo!
Incomplete
Instead of letting you enter data on wine that it doesn’t know about, this app makes you send off the picture to the company for possible addition later. So I wasted an hour starting to enter my cellar contents but gave it up since I couldn’t make a complete inventory. Potentially great app, but useless in the end.
Steady and functional — works as advertised
Have been a user for ten plus years to keep track of my cellar of 800 to 1,000 bottles. The database of wines is enormous and its a rare bottle that isn’t there — usually a very small producer. When to drink and user reviews are great features — most comments are from folks who are serious about wine. Updates are infrequent and there’s no frills and no splash just steady functionality
Not that great
They will let you add some wine for a while Then will not be able to add anymore until you pay 40 / year Not bad for a free app
Good - not great
Slow navigation between screens. Needs some combination between offline data and live data. Find myself using the full version of the website on my phone before this app. Only single-currency (US$) - really needs fixing as multi-currency support is getting uglier to implement by the day. Great tool though if they speed up useful development.
The best wine inventory app
I’ve been using this app for about 10 years now. When I first got the app it was about the only thing out there. They’ve kept it updated it still the best app out there. Aside from the many pros about this app the only con I can think of is that when you’re adding multiple bottles of the same wine, such as when you buy a case of something you have to put all the bottles in one bin and then manually move them to the individual bins. If that’s the only drawback, this app is perfect for me.
Bad UI, unable to add sort options, crashes too much.
Vinocell better UI and graphics.
Great Complement to the Website
Overall a great and handy app. Really like the scanning ability and general shortcuts. Really wish I could see my purchase price versus community value though without having to drill down.
Way too complicated !
Not sure for who this is meant for, but I’ve tried and tried to figure out how to simply add some of my existing bottles and also manage location and this is way too complicated... and once you enter some data it’s impossible to edit, deleted, correct, change... not sure how you guys do it but I won’t last much longer trying (tried the app and web version)
Great but...
... it's more like the mobile website than like a full app by its own. It would be great to have a cached version when no network (as it is sometimes the case in a cellar...)
Customer service is awesome!
When do you ever get a personalized email almost immediately after raising an issue? You will with Cellar Tracker. Even better, I raised an issue that was a glitch which they promptly responded to acknowledging the glitch . . . Then four months later I got a second email from them (unsolicited by me) notifying me that the glitch had been fixed. Really a breath of fresh air to receive such attentive responses.
Inaccurate
It properly scanned the barcode but identified the wine as a Shiraz from southern Australia. It actually is a Ruffino Chianti Classico.
Great app...but
Please allow the option to search tasting notes based on the value. Otherwise, very nice app.
Hopeless search function
Completely unable to cope with even most minor typos. Not suited for smaller devices
Great app, free to use but donated to support
Great app. Can you add an option to change the default sorting. I use this mainly to track wine location in cellar by shelf (bin labels in app) and would like to see my cellar in app always sorted by bin
Useless
I didn’t even leave in on for day...useless
Great app
I have tried other cellar management systems and find that this one is the best by far. Easy to use and allows you to search your inventory using many criteria (individually or together). Love the feature of adding wines using he barcode. You can even print a version of your cellar to look like a restaurant wine list... Easy, practical, and innovative. Highly recommend.
Great functionality but performance must improve
The functionality of this app is amazing / exactly what I’ve been looking for. Problem is, it borders on unusable because of how slow it runs. I’m on an iPhone 11 and each “click” operation takes at least two seconds to make it through to the next screen. Come on guys, there must be a way to speed this thing up and make it the premiere wine enthusiast app out there.
