Usually helpful sometimes frustrating

Sometimes searching by categories comes up with little or nothing. Eg, put in parameters of Sparkling, France, and all grape varieties and got nothing but roses. No non-rose Champagnes. Really. Have had this happen before. It would also be nice if it worked in horizontal format on an ipad.

Trash

This app has been useless since the update. NEVER loads past the loading screen even tho I've tried opening and closing the app, deleting & re-downloading multiple times, and even downloading it on 3 different devices;(iPod touch, iPhone 4, & iPhone 5c)

Average

I use this as a way of seeing if something is "listed" or simply available in a gov't store or if I have to search out independent shops for product. And shop hours. That's it. The inventory listing are super inaccurate and need to be reworked or removed altogether. There's little point offering in-store quantities if no one using the app can trust them. The filter section in searching for products is nearly unusable on my 6+; lots of screen space but words are cut off with '...' when they easily could have fit. There's very little in product knowledge either. Most items are blank or you simply have to know the product already. The ability to save a product to a list is nice. It reminds me of wines I've tried in the past. However, the app could go so much further than this by offering suggestions based on purchases and possibly notifications if a favorite product which has been sold out becomes available again. The product reviews are useless. There's nothing I hate more than populist Yelp-style reviews of products. Maybe list things by how popular they are and also critics reviews, much more useful and informative than anonymous reviews. That's all I can think of for now. It's time for a whisky.
