Can't sign in to the app with Twitter I signed up for the app with Twitter's authentication, but when the sign up was complete, it opened up the Distiller site and not the app. I have tried several times to login to the app with no luck. I also can't make a new password because I don't know what the current is because I authorized over Twitter. I would love to use the app but I can't seem to get it to work

Great content but app needs work The overall features and selection are great, however the app is slow to respond and buggy. Every new page takes a solid 2 seconds. During searches I have to type every letter slowly or else it misses some. There are only 2 features that would complete the app. The first is to change the rating feature to 1/4 stars, full stars are simply to broad. Second isthe ability to add your own whisky that is missing. There are so many new ones coming out all the time and understandably they cannot keep up.

Search function not working Search function has suddenly ceased to work. Have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Wondering if this is intentional as the web site is doing the same thing when using my PC.

It is a well polished app. Easy to navigate most of the time. The menu needs a revamp. It is like it is not made for mobile, more a webapp menu type transformed into a mobile size. The website on the other hand website is great. It is a nice website, more polished than the app. Wonder which one came first, the app or the site. It has no label scanning which is a negative for me. Database is OK. It misses a lot of independent bottling companies such as That Boutique-y, The Ultimate. I could find some other more known companies such as Pure Malt and Signatory but not as near the amount of distilleries they possess. I suppose this is due to their "Professional" review strategy. I would consider open public reviews to fix this. There could be a section for professional review a a social tab for followers and people you follow. Adding a label scanner would definitely help increase their DB. The process of requesting a missing entry or a review is very manual and since this is mostly done on a phone it make the process more of a struggle than of a smooth experience. I have not checked the DB for other malts mainly the whiskey section therefore so I cannot judge there.

Update has screwed it up! Used to be great but some update has disabled the search feature from operating correctly. I can utilize it if I can't find what I'm drinking, super disappointed.

Search function has stopped working Overall a really great app! But with the search functionality dead...it really makes the app lackluster

Review ability needs work A lot of variation between liquors calls for half and quarter stars for personal ratings.

Christopher Callens September 17, 2016

Sloooooow. also wish the recommender would just give me suggestions based off what I currently rated with a few randoms thrown in

Daniel Taylor August 4, 2016

Underwhelming It's just a web app. No point in installing when all it shows you is their mobile site.

Collin Howder September 5, 2016

Love it. App is very easy to use, and has a very asthetic feel. Tasting notes from distiller are usually spot on, and the amount of liquor on the database is impressive. Still, I see no mechanism to add new things. Also, no gin or vodka.

S McCarthy June 2, 2016

Just a web app. The content is really good, but it is just a web app. Could go to the web page instead..

Sam Farthing May 23, 2016

Good idea poorly executed. I can hardly get it to open after the most recent update.

Ercan Akkaya February 11, 2016

After update doesn't open

phil falkenholm March 7, 2016

Been looking for an app like this

Lukas Fil June 9, 2016

Great design, very useful app, but needs debugging

Britt S. July 28, 2016

Good app I appreciate the community involvement and the information.

Dominique Croteau July 29, 2016

Perfect for whisky lovers! My favorite whisky app!

Scott Brown April 3, 2016

Great network and reviews

Tim Annable May 12, 2016

Buggy

Jason Pribble January 3, 2016

Great content but app needs work The information, reviews, and UI are great but the Android app is slow and unresponsive. Also, it would be nice if a sort option was added to the search feature.

Michael Ouellette December 15, 2015

Great app, even better This app is a must have for anyone who enjoys good whiskey at any level. This app recommends some very nice whiskeys and I have found a few of my favorites through it. With the new update it is even better. I have been looking for a way to track the rums I have tried over the years and this is now perfect.

Frank Valerio December 28, 2015

Simply Awesome Thank you for acknowledging that Mezcal is a true artisan spirit. Your app is a valuable resource. Would be great if you had an option to buy bottles from within the app. Cheers!

Valeriy Zhykharevych December 23, 2015

Need offline version Great app! What is missing for my opinion - being able to store collections offline. Not always you have an internet connection. Additionally it would be great to be able to create different collections.

Blain Lefort January 24, 2016

Best app of its kind Looked at several apps today for bourbon and scotchl tracking. This is the best by far. I'd buy, and encourage the developers to sell, a paid app. Fantastic content and functionality!

George Georges December 23, 2015

Awesome app, really helps with finding new whiskeys without having to try bad ones

Gary Hinkelman December 15, 2015

BEST APP This is by far the best app around. Especially, for Whiskey, Single Malts, Bourbons, etc.

jim austin December 25, 2015

Great app, just got better with addition of tequila, rum and Cognac

Matt King December 13, 2015

It's OK but lots of distilleries missing Primarily got this as the whisky bible has disappeared off the face of the planet. I want to have my collection to hand but according to the app , distilleries ,Glen Keith, Braveval, Imperial and Blair Athol don't exist. Can't find ptarmigan 15 yo , dalmore 17yo , House of Lords /Commons and others.. I know it's impossible to list all years etc , but would expect to find the distilleries... Annoying as my collection is incomplete by 10 bottles.. how can I show off my rampant alcoholism accurately?

Ron Scott November 12, 2015

Beautiful app The ui is so nice. It looks great. Selection needs a lot of work. Until they improve it, I'm going to stick with Under The Label

John Mickus November 24, 2015

Awesome app! Wish I could share my ratings on Facebook, but all the included features are great. Thank you!

Matthew Franklin October 12, 2015

Not bad Looks beautiful. Simple. Just slow. Maybe it's my device (s4)?

Travis Vander Vegte October 7, 2015

Getting better Pretty good, accurate descriptions of certain products need some fine tuning.

Joe Plonka November 8, 2015

Love it Good community. Good resource. Well programmed app

Deny Morlino September 11, 2015

Lots of good info from other tasters available. Like the app.

Jim Kiernan September 9, 2015

It's like a fancier Untappd, but it needs some serious updates. I almost always end getting stuck on the settings page and have to restart the app.

Bryce Vandas August 3, 2015

Would be 5 Stars if there was a way to track Whiskies that you have tried in a list form. Similar to collection. I would like to be able to separate what I own vs what I have had while away on business etc... You can track it by doing a review of every whisky that you try, but I feel like there is probably a cleaner way of doing that.

Desmond Goh July 24, 2015

Not very comprehensive. The usual Peated gems like Lagavulin & Laphroaig are not even included.

Aidan Angus July 14, 2015

Might be my favorite app This app not only does an excellent job of curating top notch reviews of a very wide range of whiskies, but presents everything with an incredible user interface. This app is clean, fast, helpful, and fun! I wish I worked on it 😛
