Corkz: Wine Reviews and Cellar for Negative User Reviews
✓ Limited Australian Wine ListThis app is hopeless for Australian wines and don't bother with it. Some of the iconic Aussie wines are not listed. Just went looking for Vat 1, Tyrrell's best wine and known world wide and not found. This is not the first time and having paid for I am not deleting the app but delegating it to my junk file.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Complete waste of moneyI was looking for an app to record my wine cellar. To access this feature I would have had to agree to the most one sided agreement I have ever read. I have deleted the app..Version: 5.07
✓ Beyond uselessI work in a wine store and wanted this app for quick access to tasting notes and price comparisons. So far it's recognized one product and been stumped by approx. 20 bottles. Really wish I hadn't wasted money on this absolute fraud of an app!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Still not thereOnce a year I re-download the app and see if it has gotten any better. Nope. There are too many shortcomings to list..Version: 5.14.12
✓ Very disappointingWith no way to manually add a wine not found in the app's database this app is useless to me. The first 5 local (Australian) wines I pulled from my own collection to catalogue were not found so while I think the app has some nice features it is entirely useless to me and, I would imagine, to most Australians. I should demand a refund but it's only $3 down the drain after all..Version: 4.1.2
✓ A bit clunkyWorks well provided: a) your wine is in their database; and b) you don't mind having the wrong photo assigned to your wines. Would be great if you could add any wine to your cellar..Version: 5.12
✓ Ok app, but has potentialGood concept, but needs data/internet connection to access your cellar. Barcode scanning could use extra features like year selection. Could be better if it had a bigger database with B.C. wines..Version: 5.14.13
✓ New Layout makes it hard to see text fieldsLight grey boxes that are used to highlite a selected wine masks the text underneath with data such as ratings, drinking window, etc... In general the new layout provides less contrasts between fields and text making it overall harder to read on my iPad. Not sure what you were thinking with this new layout but would prefer that you go back to the older layout or allow the user to choose..Version: 5.14.25
✓ Still a Very Limited Wine DatabaseNot a bad program, but there is still a lot to be desired. No attempt was made to create a real database of popular wines. It is clear the designers are awaiting us to do their work. Not cool, but again, not a bad program..Version: 5.14.12
✓ Has potential but...It needs to be improved for the European user. I've tried using the bar scan over ten times now and not once has it recognised any of the wines--needs an improved euro-database! Send us an update already! I don't remember ever having one for this app..Version: 0
✓ Looks Ike it could be good but isn't!There doesn't appear to be any way to see tasting notes or other cellar information! It allows recording of this info but then doesn't display it back! Must be a bug to be fixed soon surely!.Version: 0
✓ Lot of potentialBe very clear--this does not currently support scanning CT! barcodes (ITF), only UPC/EAN. I know it says this in the description, but sometimes I only read comments and I mis-read one of the comments. I do like the Pedia--while you can certainly use Wikipedia or wine-specific websites via Safari to look things up, it is kind of nice having the basics available in a single application. And access to your collection (if it's in CellarTracker! already) is kind of nice, too. The speed seems like it could be improved--results seem to come up faster when browsing in Safari on the iPhone. It borders on being too slow to use (at least for me). Lot of potential, however, and I look forward to future versions..Version: 0
✓ Bar scanner does not workBar scanner on iPhone does not work and support does not respond with help. Used to be a good app but not so anymore!.Version: 5.14.30
✓ The wine world from the wrong end of the bottleThe app' inexplicably ignores the vast majority of the beautiful wines from Spain, from Portugal, from Lebanon, from New Zealand. Oh, should I go on..? It is worthless. It is poorly researched over a shallow field and inexpertly delivered. Don't bother downloading..Version: 0
✓ No longer worksI have used the app successfully for several years. But in no longer works. You can still scan the barcode. It brings up a list including the bottle of wine you are researching. But when you select the bottle from the list, the app crashes. This is now happening with every bottle of wine I scan. Please fix. The app is useless at this time..Version: 5.14.12
✓ Gone?Used this for a few years but I get only black screen when I try to open it now. Even the website won’t accept emails. Must be defunct. Will use a different app, I guess. Bummer.Version: 5.14.13
✓ Search is brokenThis is a good app, but search is broken right now.Version: 5.14.13
✓ Sadly crashed right from the startI had high hopes for this app and was happy to pay but it crashes..Version: 5.14.30
✓ Super SlowNeeds an update. It's become so slow. I can finish my bottle of wine before it finds it in the search. Adding and deleting from "my cellar" is painfully slow as well..Version: 5.14.9
✓ Good but needs a lot of workThe best thing about this app is the CellarTracker integration - and despite the flaws it's worth buying for this alone. I'm able to search for a wine, add it to my cellar or drink and rate it from my iPhone. However, the app needs *a lot* of work. The UI is ill thought out and often confusing. The design is irritating and has compromised usability for fluffy graphics that one grows tired of. The start screen is cluttered with useless info (what the app developer's favourites are) rather than prioritising the info a user wants. There's huge potential here - mainly as a CellarTracker client - and the developer could do a lot to improve it..Version: 0
✓ App ruinedWas great and could get prices. Very very buggy now and barely works. Horrible now..Version: 5.14.24
✓ When it works...This app has some great features and would get 5 stars from me if it worked more often than not. As it is of 20 wines scanned it found 3, I was able to manually find most of the others, but could only add about half of those to my collection. The rest of the time I could not add the bottle that I had found, due to errors preventing me. Intensely frustrating. I'd suggest waiting for some decent updates ( bug fixes) before purchasing this app.Version: 3.1.3
✓ Can't add your own wineCan't add your own wine if it isn't in the database. Of my sample of 14 wines the barcode found 1, 5 more were in the database, the remainder I can't add. Of the wines in the database there was very little info apart from the odd user review. This mainly seemed to rely on Wikipedia to give generic grape info. If I could have entered wine not in there database I would have given 3 stars for the potential of the barcode facility..Version: 3.1.3
✓ New Version Not as GoodThe older version was working well - it was pretty quick and the barcode scanner worked incredibly fast. This new version changed all that. It now takes much longer to load, sometimes making you think it hung. And the barcode scanning is a joke. It can’t even detect that there’s a barcode in the frame, let alone read it. Wish I could go back to the older version. It might be time to switch to Cellar Tracker app (which is the database Corkz uses)..Version: 5.14.16
✓ Save your moneyThe database hardly contains any standard Aussie wines or wineries. Not a very usefull app..Version: 0
✓ Black screen without networkI like the way I can keep track of bottles I own, as well as what I have liked in the past. They information is useful when I'm in the store deciding what wine to buy. Well, that did not work at all! Inside the wine store my phone has no network connection, and Corkz says it can't work without network. So all I get is a black screen. Why is my wine cellar not stored on my device? I need it to work regardless of network. There are still many places on this Earth without network availability, and my apps need to work there..Version: 5.14.12
✓ Mostly good...better if worked consistentlyGreat to be able to review your cellar or remove a bottle on the go. Easier to navigate for that than going directly to the Cellar Tracker website. But too many times removing a bottle from your cellar just does not work one day...but does the next. That one problem drops 3 stars because after all, isn't that the point?.Version: 0
✓ Don't bother!Downloaded App. and tested it's ability with 2 French and 1 Chilean good quality bottles. None of them were recognised. ermmm!!.Version: 5.07
✓ It is okay, when it worksThis app is always slow, relative to other apps, in terms of UI responsiveness. My day job deals with big RDBMS so it is frustrating for me not able to make use of the many fields there for my own use. Basically this app "encourages" you to write public reviews. It always take a long time to launch the app, and the lag is getting longer and longer. Finally tonight it won't launch, complaining about network problem: expecting status code in 200-299, got 500. I'm writing this review online now so I'm sure it is not my network problem. I wrote to the developer before but never got a response, time to look for an alternative..Version: 5.14.1
✓ Waste of money even during their .99 saleScanner function in app useless. You must search for and add all purchases through the cellartracker website. If you have a wine not in the database it's cumbersome to add through the website menus (designed in 1990's??) App seemed stable but not of much help other than what info it gleans from the website. I rate this app a thumbs down/ save your money..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Barcode Scanner Blank ! Doesn't workI want my money back. Bought to catalogue my cellar - waste of $$$$$.Version: 4.1.0
✓ CrashesWhen I open the app, it crashes. Useless..Version: 5.14.30
✓ Only worked for a weekIt was a bit less user friendly than most apps but I persevered in putting in my wine info in the quest to become more knowledgable about wine. However, since the first week it hasn't worked since. Just keeps giving an error message every time I open. Deleting and reinstalling will delete all the data I spent ages inputting! Useless waste of money..Version: 4.1.2
✓ A great app -- until the scanner stopped workingThis used to be a great app for looking up wine at the store or in a restaurant to get community impressions. However, you can no longer scan a bottle's barcode, and have the app pull up the wine, because the app returns the error 11:t "the scandit SDK validation failed. Make sure your app key is valid and check your account for available activations." Multiple people have identified this problem without response from the developers. If you don't mind typing in the wine information, which can be very difficult to get right, then the app is reasonable..Version: 5.14.30
✓ Needs improvingWorth buying to have a cellartracker client. But doesn't seem to have been improved much since I bought it - bug fixes only. Would be good to replicate more of the CT site functionality, eg a 'drink soon' list..Version: 0
✓ Nice use of the online databaseIt took a while but I really like the app now..Version: 4.0.1
✓ App doesn't work at allThe app shows promise but is unworkable at the moment. It cannot scan any bar codes and doesn't allow you to add any bottles to one's collection. It has crashed on every occasion that I've tried using it so far. A huge waste of money, unfortunately..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Can't add from appNice app but still has a long way to justify price. Unable to add new wines from the app even though it's on the online database..Version: 0
✓ Good, but some bugs remain to be fixedI've been an avid Cellartracker user for a while, so this app is the ideal companion. Or should be. There are still bugs or functionalities that remain to be fixed. For instance, when browsing my cellar by varietal, why are only the most popular varietals displayed? Why can't I browse Malbecs, Chenin Blancs or Viogniers, since Cellartracker can sort all my bottles by varietals, including the most obscure ones? Same problem with region browsing: somehow I can't even select Rhône or some Spanish regions, since most likely an accented character bug prevents them to be displayed correctly - this is an unacceptable bug for a 5-dollar app. All in all, this is a good app with a very nice interface, but it has bugs in urgent need of fixing..Version: 0
✓ Stuck on Loading...Stuck on the loading... screen. Unable to scan any labels!.Version: 4.3
✓ Doesn't workAvoid this app. Constant SSL errors in last 12 months. Do not waste time.Version: 5.14.3
✓ Very disapointedOften fail to open, doesn't work offline. Can't change the year of the wine if not in database, can't classify wine per color. I'm now searching for a better app because this one is very bad..Version: 5.14.1
✓ Used to workUsed it for many years. Nothing special, but functional. But completely broken since iOS 12 update. Update - now it works. Maybe a web or database glitch..Version: 5.14.13
✓ Was good - new version a step backThe app is a great idea, but the new organisation is not good. Where have all the other user's comments gone? Often I scan bottles which will give me right wine in the right winery but the wrong year, with no option to change the year. These little annoyances stop a good app from being a great app..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Looking for a dial up speed app?If you’re tired of your blazing fast iPhone you spent bank on to get 5g and a chip that could launch a rocket. If you long for the good old days of inserting a cd you got in the mail from compuserve promising 55 hours of free internet. If life just moved too dang fast, this app is for you! It don’t care that it’s 2021. It don’t care that you’ve curated years of wine bottles into it. Or you e gifted it to you family. The developer is over you, and well, they’re also on dialup so they can’t hear you complain because they are online and can’t pick up the phone. Please send a self addressed stamped envelope to “Bad Wine App, PO Box 999, Pueblo, Colorado”..Version: 5.14.25
✓ Baffled: not found any wineTo those who rate this app, why? I am totally underwhelmed. Of about 20 or so bottles barcode scanned, it hasnt found a single one..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Roll back to v4New interface in v5 is terrible. The changing blurry background in 'My Cellar' shows a bottle underlying the text on the left of the screen which makes the text harder to read. The right side generally has no text and a uniform background! I just had a bright white blurry label that made it very hard to browse the listings. My Cellar listings don't show number of bottles or pending delivery. When I search for tonight's selection, it's important to know at a glance if it's my last bottle or if it's still in my merchants long term storage and not within immediate reach. To find out, I have to select each wine which is an utter pain. This has been an indispensable app for some years but now that you've been forced into a significant update by direct competition, you've really muddled an otherwise good app. I would gladly stick with you out of loyalty, but you really need to look again at what makes an app useful, functional and attractive without compromising the first two. Until then, I'm off to the competition..Version: 5.04
✓ OverratedLots of work needed. Try to add cellar is buggy and cumbersome. Lots of crashes. App is now constantly crashing on startup, unable to access anything. Very dissapointing!!.Version: 0
✓ What has happened???Used to really like this app and used it a lot but now it just crashes ALL the time !!!.Version: 4.5
✓ Waste do moneyI bought this app which promised to be a way to manage my cellar In fact it is a marketing app to push you towards recommended purchases I can't see any way to enter my existing cellar. You have to select from a list of bottles already entered. The first three I tried are not listed so I have deleted the app Easy money for someone!.Version: 5.14.1
✓ Broken!Paid for this app now it’s whining about some app key when scanning. Fix this!.Version: 5.14.25
✓ Subpar at bestThis app has the potential for greatness, yet they fail at the most basic rudimentary functions. Get it together!.Version: 5.14.25
✓ Crash a lotDoes not work well with OS 3.0.Version: 0
✓ Doesn't track cellar holdings accuratelyGreat idea but my inventory is all screwed up. This has been a problem for a while. In addition is doesn't retain order notes when you add a bottle. You have to copy the order notes, save the bottle and then edit and paste your order notes back in and save it again. It's a work around but really? Anybody have a suggestion for a better app? This one stinks..Version: 5.14.13
✓ Inpossible to use in dark modeLoved for years, but wouldn’t download it now. With the new design, all the input fields are illegible if your phone is in dark mode.Version: 5.14.25
✓ Lots of potential – but I’m disappointed...(this is version 1.0.3)I'm a huge fan of Cellar Tracker. The idea of bringing the immense database and functionality of that site to my Touch was VERY attractive. However, in light of all of the potential, I find the App lacking. On the plus side: --I can search the database (lots of sort options available) --I can view my cellar previously created on the CT site (also lots of sort options available) On the down side: --none of the reviews on cellar tracker are viewable when ones searches --only a fraction of the wine data (sub region/appellation etc) featured on CT is not shown here --Once found, I cannot add the wine to my cellar (?!) Now there are lots of other things one can do on CT that I could understand the app not yet encompassing (actually leaving your own notes, linking up with friends, adding specific data once you "drink" the wine from your cellar for example), but the three things listed above seem like pretty basic pieces of functionality to me. I really hope this app is still being developed. It's a great first stab. The link to CT is such an advantage in my opinion over the other apps out there (and for this I'll give it 3 stars instead of 2). But as it stands, this app could be making this built in advantage work much more so than it currently is..Version: 0
✓ L’application ne démarre pas !!!! Erreur 503Incapable de démarrer l’application !!.Version: 5.14.30
✓ Good PotentialIt took me a while to work out how to use this ap. Generally good ap, but interface is a bit clunky. I like the scanning of wine label, but at times it wont allow you to correct details like year of bottling..Version: 4.1.6
✓ Stopped workingI had this app running on my iPhone 5 and now 7+ for 3 years and was reasonably happy with it. Unfortunately, it stopped working a month ago. Nothing has worked to resurrect it. I contacted the company, but no response. I give it only 1 star because i cant get the developer's attention. When it works, i would give it 4 to 5 stars..Version: 5.14.12
✓ Poor cellar trackingThis is my go to app when purchasing wines. The reviews of other users are usually helpful. However, the very cumbersome cellar tracking feature is not very useful. If you are primarily looking for a way to track your wines across multiple locations then you should keep searching..Version: 5.14.25
✓ CorkedUsed to be awesome. Now crashes constantly. Crashes when selecting a wine, errors. Full of bugs and gone mouldy. Sad, because it was brilliant.Version: 5.12
✓ FrustrationsWhile I like the scan function of adding to my cellar there needs to be the ability to add a wine name, year, etc. I am in several wine clubs and receive wines that are not released for retail. There is no way for me to add them to my cellar..Version: 5.14.30
✓ Zombie appSeems there is no longer any development of this app. Scan feature no longer works..Version: 5.14.30
✓ What's with this wine I buy?The barcode-scanning feature in this app is great....when it works. I'd say that roughly 50% of the bottles I try to scan are not recognized by this program. I've used it in a few occasions when I've had plenty of time to spend in a liquor store and I wanted some help choosing a bottle. Unfortunately, since so many bottles aren't recognized, I end up frustrated. However, when this app recognizes the bottle, things are great! I never seem to keep wine around long enough to take advantage of the "cellar" feature. All in all, I'll keep playing around with this app, but only because I already paid for it. I wish it had been free or at least cheaper, or better yet: that it just worked more often..Version: 4.0.1
✓ CorkzCorkz: to scan and search it is totally useless. When you can't recognize either barcode OR NAME of such basics as Pol Roget cuvée Winston Churchill or Moet Chandon Imperial you got Notting!.Version: 5.11
✓ Good app, but cd be betterI like to look at my bottles so it would be great to have an interface that is not all text. Also, pls allow tagging. I wd like to tag it with notes on when I last drank it. Finally, pls allow me to be able to sort by price, where I bought it from, where is the location so the bottle as I have multiple cellar locations.Version: 4.1.4
✓ If you are buying this to scan and identify wine, don’t.I bought this app to be able to scan barcodes and get details about the wine.. No bottles I scanned could be found in the database. You then press the helpful “Why not?” button and the app tells you that there is no central database for wine and that most of the wine they have information on is on the US and even that is only about 30% of wine. Fair enough. But I wish that little disclaimer was made available before purchase. Deleted it a few minutes after paying for it. I did not test the other functionality..Version: 5.11
✓ RipoffI wanted to store details of all the wine I have in my collection to create a database. This app does not allow you to scan and store wine in a database for you. It forces you signup for another paid "cellar tracker"..Version: 5.14.9
✓ Light app, works okNothing special but not much competition out there either..Version: 5.14.25
✓ Useless without editing abilityAgree 100% with BSquaredB's review. For example it recognized some wines but got the year wrong. No ability to edit a simple thing like the year makes this useless for managing a collection in Australia. Waste of money, sorry..Version: 4.1.3
✓ BugSince update i am unstable to enter any comments after “drinking wine” in iPad only. iPhone ok. Please fix! (Sorry but geeple sounds like they come from the “uncanny valley”.).Version: 5.14.25
✓ No longer supported... go to CellarTrackerSadly, this app is no longer supported and there are some issues with it. I have reached out at least twice over the past 12-18 months with specific concerns, questions, & issues. Not a single response. Not sure what happened because it used to be great! Don’t waste your time here. Just go straight to. CellarTracker (the database back-end to this app.) There were features here that I liked better than CellarTracker, but I’ll just learn how to use CT from here on out..Version: 5.14.25
✓ Doesn't work!It hasn't found one single bottle of wine I've searched for on it. I've tried even under brand names and it can't find them either. Waste of money..Version: 0
✓ Recent release brokenSee now loading then just get black screen since last update. Same issue on phone and ipad.Version: 5.14.30
✓ Crashes continuouslyDon't bother. Not worth the cash in it's current state. Buy a glass of wine instead..Version: 0
✓ Big flaw, should be easy to fixReally nice features and great user interface to interact with CellarTracker database. Barcode scan feature for drinking from your own cellar, however, is deeply flawed and corrupts the integrity of your entire cellar inventory. It scans your CellarTracker bar codes and finds the wine in your cellar, but instead of identifying the specific bar coded bottle, it randomly grabs any bottle of that particular wine. So, if you have a dozen bottles of a particular wine and you scan a specific bottle to drink, instead of logging that specific bottle as drunk, it selects a random bottle from the dozen of that type and you have no way of knowing what it has done until you examine your inventory and find that the wrong bottle has been logged as drunk. Very disappointing, not to mention time consuming to correct. Did they not test this feature at all? Too bad, because otherwise would be a very nice app. Please fix -- this can't be that hard to do correctly..Version: 4.5
✓ BulkyI want to record my likes and dislikes on wine I try. Easy and quick so i can go reference to see what I should pick up. This app has way too much info on prices and stuff i don't need. I added a barcode from a wine i want to remember not to buy again ...and i still am unsure ? It looked like i just bought a wine online? Wtf? Really?.Version: 5.06
✓ Not helpful0 of the 15 bottles I scanned at the store would show up. What is this app even about?.Version: 5.14.30
✓ OkOk. Bit frustrating so many of my wines are not in the database or don't scan. Otherwise ok.Version: 4.1.3
✓ App is not workingThe app is not working.Version: 5.14.30
✓ Disappointed in poor functionalitySearch & browser are unnecessarily slow and complicated, multiple copies of a single wine vintage in the database make it hard to find useful reviews. I want my money back..Version: 5.14.1
✓ Not great for South AfricaApp interface and usability is fantastic. Unfortunately the database of South African wines is fairly poor and I only managed to get 1 hit out of 5 searches. It should be pointed out that South Africa is one of the top wine producing countries, so this is a fairly big miss..Version: 5.11
✓ PoorCan't display accents, so Côtes du Rhône comes out as gibberish. Scanned the barcodes on half a dozen bottles from France, Italy, Chile and Australia, and it didn't know any of them. At least it's inexpensive, so I've not wasted too much money..Version: 4.2
✓ Barcode reading would be killer if it workedThis tool has great potential to be the killer iphone app, but my success with scanning wines bought from the LCBO (largest buyer of wines in the world) is about 1 in 20 bottles. The LCBO uses the bar code to sell 100% of its products, so the information is out there..Version: 0
