This is a labor of love for me as a journalist: it has cost me personally more than $100,000 to create and keep updating this app ... so please be kind and patient ;)

Cheers,

Pros and cons of Wine Scanner & Expert Reviews app for iPhone and iPad

Wine Scanner & Expert Reviews app good for

This app is handy of finding detail on a bottle of wine just tasted - or scanning a bar code on a wine in the store for review before buying. Had some problems with freezing on the reviews after updating to iOS 6, but after applying iOS 6.0.1 update and reinstalling the app it works fine.
The Top 10 wines at closest LCBO feature has changed my life. You have to be subscribed to Nats wine reviews, but if you are it can sort highest rating/lowest price wine in stock at whichever LCBO location youre at. Found some great wines at great prices. Definitely worth the $24.99 yearly fee for access to the reviews. Thanks Nat! One feature Id love to see is an indication if the selected wine is in the Vintages section or regular stock on the shelves.
Really like this APP. Its better then the SAQ app. You can read all the blogs from Natalie there too. The only improvement, will be the scan, but this Is getting update all the time. Easy to pair wine with food.
This app is absolutely gorgeous and practical too. It is easy to navigate, easy to finds foods (and even recipes) and easy to find both great value wines and wines worth splurging on. This will be a great companion at the LCBO. Lis Travers Toronto
This is a truly great app. It is fast and efficient and allows you to find what you want in no time at all. You can use it to plan your purchases or to ckeck a wine when youre on the go. Great to find wine and food pairings or recipes. I just love to be able to scan a bar code off a wine bottle in a restaurant or take a pic and get all the info, no need to remove the messy wine label. A must have for any wine lover!
I use this app regularly. Its very helpful in sifting through all the wine product out there to find that perfect gem for whatever occasion you may be having

Some bad moments

I have simply deleted this app. It is not worth the memory it was taking up. It relies on Internet connectivity to access reviews but is very buggy and mostly just locks itself up. Pity, I would have loved access to Natalie MacLeans reviews.
Keeps saying loading. Cant search reviews. Ios6 may be the issue. Closing the app or power off the phone does not resolve issues.
Its a good app but all the scores / ratings for the various wines are missing. Having the scores would make it a great app.
It just scans the barcode and tells whats already printed on the bottle. Nothing new!
Wow, almost everybody was giving this app five stars. Finally a good wine guide for Canadians. As soon as I opened it I was pestered over and over to buy the upgrade , with a timer running , otherwise .... Give me a break please! When I searched wine reviews for red or white, which is organized by country on this app, Italy the 2nd largest producer worldwide is missing. Look under the recipes and the wrong beef is mentioned for bistecca fiorentina which is made from a breed not seen in North America. I could go on. Can you see my disappointment?
Ive paid my subscription but cant get this app to accept my password. Finally gave up
