This used to be a pretty good app. Track collection, flavor maps, reviews. But I wouldn't know now because my account disappeared! Everything. Can't log in, says it never had an account under that email (even though I have old emails from them on that service) and it won't let me make a new account with a new email address. I give up, deleting and moving on. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS APP!!

I've been using this app for years, and it simply does the job for me. It's free of charge / you can create your own collection/ rate / compare with others and share collection with your family so they know what type of whisky you like. As they know your rating and taste, chances you will get the new perfect bottle for your birthday are quite high:)

Somewhat cumbersome and slow. Often takes multiple attempts to locate the correct bottle. I often have to manually add bottles of they're somewhat limited in allocation. Really want to add number of bottles for duplicates. For example, I have multiple bottles yet it only lets me add a single bottle. Can't manage my collection well without true quantities.

I love the layout, better than some, navigating is a pain and the search for following/ followers doesn't work, that comes back saying poor internet connection. I've emailed the developers and they came with they're working the issue, problem is I've had the app for almost a year and it has not cleared up. I guess what can you expect from a free app.

Being able to scan a label and get information on a specific type of whisky is very useful! I've found several types that I hadn't tried before but are now part of my favourites list. I've now revised my review to 1 star because I changed devices and there is no facility to log into your account; one an only create an account. Emails are unanswered. The app is now useless. All my notes and collections are gone.

I used to love it, but sadly it has deteriorated to the point of being almost useless. The app freezes and stops constantly, and scanner regularly fails to find new bottles. I am now looking for a new collection app.

The app helped me, a noob, buy a really nice scotch! The UI seems a tad cluttered, but it's still easy to use. Taking the label picture has a bug, causing the camera to defocus on shutter depress, which may have an effect on label recognition.

The idea is good. The app is decent. Search is terrible. Not bad to track your inventory but it needs to be easier to add bottles. If you enter a specific brand in the search that brand should come up first. Not several others and then that after. ie: I tried to enter a Bulleit Single Barrel and the BSB wouldn't come up and it kept adding Bushmill.

It is a great app to save the experiences and see how people think about the profile. The problem is that the performance is not optimal. Search is very slow. Adding a new item is often not working. Internet connection is often disrupted.

Great concept, Slow and erratic operation. This app would get 5 stars if it worked all the time and didn't constantly say poor connection. I still use it to keep track of my whiskey. You need to have a LOT of free time to use this app though.
