CellarTracker: #1 Wine Tracker

It does everything you need and that’s just the free version.

I have been using this app for many years. Yes it’s great to be able to store and monitor your Wine cellar. Every quarter I would do a stock take and for some reason I would be way out … bottles that I had consumed were still listed. I now find out this is a bug and has been known about for years and it’s still not fixed!! How hard can it be? I spend hours every quarter reconciling something that I have an app that’s supposed to do that.

I could go on and on about why this app is insanely poorly designed and maintained, but I'll try to keep it short and structured. Firstly, the app is insanely slow. It's not responsive, with lag time up to a few seconds at time, probably due to how inefficient the database queries are. Secondly, it is littered with weird bugs, like how some of my user-created stores keep getting deleted, and once it does get deleted, every wine that I labelled with said store gets turned into default, which is "Taste". I thought this was rather unacceptable. Same with how sometimes when writing a review, the whole review writing block gets pushed all the way up and gets stuck there, which does not let you see what you're writing. The list is quite literally endless. Thirdly, there's not enough useful features, not like those AI bs which I despise, but stuff like sorting every list in my wishlist (not sorting the wines within each list themselves). Or how there's no user ratings at all, unless you make a public rating/review ish about it. There should absolutely be a private rating, for sure. And what about deleting or editing a store? God this app is in the 2000s era for how much it refuses to evolve over the years, in terms of actual usefulness. And yes, the list goes on. Finally, editing a wine entry requires FARRR too many clicks. The UI needs some serious reevalution imo. Rather than making things look fancier, maybe focus on real utility. But beyond that, focus on fixing the lag, bugs, and unresponsiveness. I'm honestly surprised this gets all the rave and so far I can't find much criticism anywhere, not on reddit, forums, not on here, not anywhere. This app, as far as good apps go, is such a seriously bad one. I'm already too committed to this at this point, and my wine lists are growing with too many details attached. But I wish I had picked a different one from the get go. This pops my vein the majority of the time. And considering I'm a paid member, please fix the app, thanks.

The fact that this tracker is mobile is a massive bonus. The ability to upload photos of your wine if it is not on the database is also a bonus. I can take my phone into the cellar room to lookup which wines are ready to drink and where they are located. Works brilliantly.

Works perfectly for cataloging your wines comprehensively simply by taking a photo of the label. Additionally contains pricing and best time to drink.

I love this App. I’ve tried a few different cellar organizers, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. Ease of use, functionality, look and feel. I don’t write many App reviews but felt like this one deserves the time.
