VinoCell - wine cellar manager 应用的评论

I’ve been using this app for many years and is the best app for tracking and documenting wine. Very flexible and the support is fantastic.

For my wine tasting needs which are not very sophisticated, I would like to be able to select the fields that have meaning for me.

Had it for several years. First input takes you long time to enter if you have many different wines. After the initial load it is easier to keep up - wine, wine out. They have never updated wine critics list Many changes over last several years.

I have been using this APP for ten years and have inventoried and managed a large and diverse cellar of wines with over 5000 bottles in stock. I have almost never lost a bottle and I know where to find the ones that most need to be drunk now. Using the group feature, I can set aside wines for my wife to grab whenever she wants without making a mistake. And, the cloud backup gives me confidence we get it right. We have used the app to manage a cellar in one home, control the inventory when we moved to a new home with half the wine in a storage facility and then move two more times. The app is very flexible and can be used to manage complex cellars and storage scenarios. Thanks Andre! Great product!

Totally difficult to use, once you know how to work it, it gets the job done. Not all features work right. Poor onboarding, poor information hierarchy. Not worth the money. I would be nice to view all the shelves at once. I don’t like using it will wait until I find something better. Should just creat my own. Another thing I can’t understand is how I can google the wine and find it but it does not find the same wine through the app search.

2024 edit: ...still a very solid app, suited to purpose. Would not object if developers put an app link to donate, to support continued development. Original review circa 2020: ... this app is hands down better than everything else out there, by far.

One of the best cellar managers I’ve used. So many parameters to track wine by. I think there’s a lot of value in this app. One improvement I would like to see is when you got to “statistics” and select “subregions” that the list of subregions becomes clickable showing you a list of those stored wines from that subregion. Ie: selecting “Sonoma valley” then lists all the stored wines from Sonoma valley.

Please refund my purchase and delete my account. This is 2024. Your app needs to scan barcodes or recognize photos.

As a data junkie, I have been nerding out on this. I do wish, like others have mentioned, that there would be an add from scan option. That would be peak! But I do like the ability to access from the cloud on browser as well as import and export by csv file. I love seeing a bottle placed in my shelves.

Needs an update!!! I've been using it for a few months now. Things that can be improved are the instructions on how to do things. The creator made videos but they are woefully lacking. Perhaps the biggest issue is the lack of being able to print reports. Even simple things like a list of wines by type cellar location and drink by dates can only be viewed in the app and even then you still need to drill down to get all the info you need. The cellar layouts are unique but probably won't fit everyone's needs. Logging in wine and placing is simple and complex at the same time. Somewhat awkward then it needs to be. I wish they updated it much more often. It seems this perhaps is just a part time project. I've put a lot of effort into putting data in. They need to add label and bar code scanning. Update Feb 16, 2024 Needs an update with popular features many others have.

Terrible interface does not find any wines. Need to type everything in manually. I could just use a spreadsheet. Tiny font. Just terrible.

There are so many details embedded in this app. I don’t know what half of them mean (but I’m learning!). You get alot in this app for the price. I sent an email to Customer Service with a question and they were very helpful! Highly recommend!

The search function is archaic at best and many reasonably popular vineyards are missing. Starting from zero this would have taken days to get my inventory into the app. Not worth the frustration.

Everything you need to set up and track your wine collection. Simple to use and set-up and my wine has not been more organized.

I don’t have a particularly large collection of wine, but for an individual and a regular single-family household, I have a lot of wine. It’s stored all over the place and sometimes it’s difficult to know where exactly it is. This application allows me to say what I’ve got where it’s from all the really important nerdy details about my wine, but also where I’m storing, it was on my household how many bottles I have. If they thought of everything when they built this app. The one time cost is well worth it and it’s a great gift and recommendation to other people who are wine lovers or simply have a lot of wine that they like to guests are they like to drink and enjoy.

The database has far too many gaps, making the entry of new wines incredibly manual and time intensive. There are free apps with far better databases, barcode look up, etc. Look elsewhere

Don’t waste your time on the free apps. Pay the price and this app won’t disappoint you. I just wanted to keep track of the wines I’ve tasted and add some simple tasting notes so I could buy the good ones again. Now I’m adding pictures of the labels, adding pro ratings and notes, links to the wine makers website and attaching PDF brochures. I’m now inspired to start building my own wine collection again. Happy drinking! Added: I’m using this app to track about 100 bottles, but I think it would be useful for even smaller collections. Definitely, it would be worth it for larger collections! The developer is responsive to requests for enhancements, and minor bugs… but I don’t think there are any bugs left in this program.

I have being using this app for several years and its is the best..!!!

This is my go to app of organizing my cellar of about 300 bottles. I really appreciate the detail and also the flexibility this app gives me in organizing and recording my wine. The app is also very refined compared to most apps. It just works!

I have been using VinoCell for years now. I manage private wine cellars and have several clients I have told to use this app. I’m like a salesman. Haha. The customer service is unheard of, they email you back so quickly with an answer. No automated stuff either, a REAL person! This app will do absolutely EVERYTHING!! It’s so customizable and simple to use. Most my clients are not techy and find this so easy. It’s even put me out of business with a few clients because they found they could manage their wines without me now.

This app is impenetrable. Duplicative steps that drop data. It requires multiple steps to 1) add a wine ... not a bottle and then 2)a completely different edit to add the number of bottles. Then try to edit any errors. You'll pull your hair out and want to smash your iPad with a hammer.

Nice little app

Not an app for the weekend wine enthusiast, it’s more geared towards the massive collections. I have an 80 bottle wine fridge and there are no settings in the app for a shelf, only stacks or bins. FYI, some of us don’t buy wine by the case… A single row option would be nice. No auto fill, I have to enter every detail over and over. Every change requires going in, clicking edit, going into that menu, clicking edit then doing it all in reverse. I’ve been trying so many of these apps and have yet to find one that’s intuitive and simple. Spent an hour trying to figure out how to enter 3 bottles of St Emilion and ready to eat my $8 and move on

I spent a good three hours just trying to enter 10 bottles of wine and assign them to slots in my cellar. 2 out of 10 came up in the database—I had to type in a ton of details manually for the others. Assigning bottles to shelves and slots is an exercise in futility. Even trying to increase the quantity to multiple bottles is way more work than it should be. This app feels very outdated and clunky. I found that Vivino has a cellar function so went to that instead and just put the rack number in the notes. Much easier.

Save your money. This app may have been great years ago but it doesn’t compare to the apps these days that can scan the label and input all the details for you. Having to enter everything manually is a huge pain, especially if you are starting from scratch. For that reason I would not recommend

I find this app very useful and quite easy to use. It does exactly what it says - allows the user to build up both an inventory of their wine and also a record of tastings. There are many options that allow for easy searching of the database.

This is a wonderful app! It took some time to initially input the detailed info on our wine collection but well worth the time and effort. Very reliable and helpful in tracking our wines by regions, grapes, price, maturity and placements in our wine chillers. I highly recommend this app.

I switched to Vinocell from an app I used for 15 years and have not looked back. Super functionality for day to day usage. Nice graphically. Rich functionality. Flexible search. Graphs could be a little more rich but I'm sure they will get there. I'm amazed this was on the market and I didn't know it was out there. Nice job and well thought out.

There is much to like about this app once all your data is loaded. But loading bottles takes a good bit of time. The absolute worst is when you try to place a bottle on a rack or relocate the bottle from one place to another. It is neither intuitive or easily accomplished. These folks need to hire a UX designer badly.

So broken. Can’t place anything in a cellar location. Slow to load. Obvious that no one maintains this.

This is a great app but lacking basic search by camera functionality available on free apps. From my perspective, lack of this functionality makes the app not usable. Would pay extra for this function. Sent the developer feature request June 2019 and their response was that this feature is coming within few months, here we are in 2021!

For most enthusiasts this application is overkill. It is probably the most complete database wine management tool available. Some of the ‘web link’ functions were cumbersome or did not work at all. If you are looking to have a book chapter on each wine this app is for you. Most of us looking for a simpler page level database; year, winery, name, geographic origin, inventory, cost, value, tasting notes and maybe an auxiliary notes field.

Easy to use and simply tracks all your wine and allows easy adds to a cellar of multiple shapes

This app doesn’t find my wines. All the entries are manual and you can’t even scan the barcodes. I want my money back.

This app was a bummer. It has a ton of features but I purchased it due to the reviews talking about the cellar visualization. Essentially, you put in the specs for your wine rack (for example, 10 x 10). Then you are supposed to be able to assign a bottle of wine to a specific spot in the rack so it’s easy to find the bottle you’re looking for later. Unfortunately, when I go to assign “location info” to a bottle, the app is unresponsive. It looks like this app hasn’t been updated in awhile, so it likely is a compatibility issue with the latest version of iOS 14. Unfortunately this was the most important feature for me so the app is pretty useless now.

To add to all the frustration of manually entering all the data, the app won’t let you visualize location of the bottle in the cellar.

Wine search is terrible. Barely has any wines the other apps have. The virtual cellar is a neat idea but poorly done. Overall just move on.

I wish the images a customer saves is uploaded to their server and standardized so that when one searches the database, it allows us to import standardized data. Something like what the Vivino app does.

Scanning of labels, bar codes, etc has been around for a decade now on smartphones I clouding other wine finder apps. For whatever reason this app requires you to manually enter all the details, or google search style enter the name and vintage to find it. In 2010 this would be fine... it’s 2020 going on 2021 and this app was nearly $10. This unacceptable.

This wine storage app is solid. It isn’t perfect, but with a little work you can get a lot in this. You can separate out all the different places and configurations and include other things if you choose. I had a few hundred bottles on hand and it took me a while to get it all in, but think any tool would require that work. Needs improvement on the database and sharing info based on label pic and stats. I like it though.

I have been using this app for a couple of years now. It is the best wine inventory app I have found, and it has a lot of great features. However there is one key feature which I would really like to see added-the ability to scan a wine label in order to access that wine’s info and add it to my inventory (similar to Vivino). This is a feature that would save me a ton of time when adding new wines to my cellar, and I would happily pay extra for it!

Would be great if i could just scan the bar code to get all the info to load on each wine.

This app is really quite good. Takes a bit of tome to learn and the videos are not that helpful. But once you get the hang of it , it’s really quite powerful. Would be nice to be able to scan bottles instead of searching and this would be a great addition. Excellent for keeping track of wine that is stored.

Can’t believe it is 8 dollars, it’s so inferior to the vivino app, which finds your wine with just a picture

Vinocell captures all the data you could imagine about wine. Entering the data is a confusing and lengthy process. Definitely not intuitive. Despite being on Apple platforms it doesn’t take advantage of the graphics capabilities. Lots of room for improvement.

Very helpFul site. 5 stars.

I’ve now had this app for several years and I use it all the time to select what I want at the moment or when I’m out buying wines. I am still not using all functionality, and I am still very pleased with the app and my usage. I’m about to add my distilled spirits to the app. Original review below: Bought this several months ago and entered the info from my small collection (less than 100 bottles, but growing slowly). Relatively easy data entry, lots of categories for information; more than I'm using at the moment. Occasional terms have odd English titles, but nothing that can't be easily discerned. Tutorials are good; accent of speaker is not a problem. User support has been quick and helpful. My iPhone and iPad are synced, as is my PC. Glad that I bought it. C'est tres bon!

This is a fantastic app to keep track of your cellar and tasting. I would love to see them add a visual recognition of the labels when you snap the picture. I highly recommend this app for anyone with more than a couple dozen wines.

Love all the features wish there was more quality control (or any for that matter) when it came to inputing wines.
