User Reviews

Users broadly praise the app for accurate, biodynamic-based guidance on wine-tasting days and for bringing a calendar approach to understanding how flavors change. Many rely on it daily and some feel upgrading is worth it, especially for planning tastings and learning about the lunar cycle’s influence. However, recurring issues with in-app purchases and billing, persistent calendar accuracy bugs, and a paywall with limited data and older UI significantly hamper experience. Support accessibility also appears lacking. Fixing billing, calendar accuracy, and UI would greatly improve its usefulness for wine enthusiasts.

Pros

Accurate guidance on the best wine-tasting days using a biodynamic calendar.
Biodynamic calendar helps explain why a wine can taste different from day to day.
Useful for daily use and many users consider upgrading worth it.
Helpful for planning tastings and replacing a paper calendar with a convenient calendar tool.

Cons

In-app purchase and billing issues, with repeated prompts to buy again and failed upgrades.
Calendar accuracy bugs, including incorrect day types and time-zone mislabeling.
Paywall with limited data and an outdated, clunky UI.
Limited or unclear developer support for fixing issues.

I love this app and I feel it does give accurate info on the best times to taste wine, but I am confused if I need to buy the app yearly or if it was a one time purchase? I purchased it last year and in the menu it said “one time purchase” but it is asking me to purchase again. Thanks!
