Ratings and reviews

Looks promising. The layout is a bit cumbersome. Lacks intuition. Strong database of vintages and awareness of one-off and niche whiskeys. Ability to create multiple lists, too. However, scan a label or barcode does not fully work. Scanning appears to recognize but clicking just takes you to an infinite "loading" screen. Too bad.

Looks like a good app but doesn't work on Samsung's Android phone unfortunately. It will download and install, you enter details and get a pop up confirming sign up was successful. And that's it app stops working can't progress any further!!! Tried "forgot password" route and then get a popup informing me "no account with that email address" registered??? Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and sign up process again. Unfortunately just another useless app. App appears a waste of time.

Disappointing. Difficult to use. Suspect sign up email will be sold to spammers and Phishers. I uninstalled it.
