## Review summary

Users praise the app for its broad wine data and fast search, plus usefulness for wine lovers and researchers. However, reliability issues persist: scanning misidentifications and post-update failures; stability problems after updates; UI changes harming marketplace usability; data gaps (distributor data, ratings) and privacy concerns with extra accounts; and pricing transparency gaps (duties/VAT not shown). Overall, strong data and usefulness exist alongside significant UX and reliability issues that need fixing.

### Pros

- Extensive, comprehensive wine data with fast search.
- Useful for wine lovers and researchers, including drinking windows and vendor information.
- Label scanning feature works and has improved after updates.
- Generally helpful and intuitive interface with valuable discovery features.

### Cons

- Label scanning often misidentifies wines and can be unreliable after updates.
- Stability issues after updates, including crashes and 'no longer loads' errors.
- UI changes degrade marketplace usability and data access (e.g., accessing distributor data).
- Data gaps and privacy concerns: missing distributor data and the extra account/data sharing requirement; limited access to user ratings.
