CellarTracker: Wine Tracking

So good to know what it is that you have in your cellar. Sometimes you need that insight to make good choices.

I have been a paying customer of the freeware since 2006 and have found it very functional, if not elegant. Had high hopes for the new app now that they are making everyone pay, but have found it frustratingly worse than the old app on some basic functionality. A few examples: - the Consumption Note used to auto-populate when you started typing with previously used content, so you could quickly fill it in and easily make consistent use of the same notes that are frequently used. Now you have to type out a new one each time which is more time consuming and results in less consistency of use of the same description because to check what you have used before you have to exit the entire consumption process and then try to find one that would have the same description. By the way, inexplicably there is no easy way to search on consumption note in the app — if you search for language you put in the consumption notes, it does not show up in the search. - I store wine in multiple storage locations and homes. Previously if I had the same wine in multiple locations, if would force me to select which one I was consuming and if it existed in only in one location only then would it would automatically select the first one in the list. Now it just automatically selects the first one in the list, and doesn’t even show you from which location it is choosing — you have to click through to see if there are multiple locations to select from. Not knowing this, I have frequently selected the wrong location which has made a mess of my inventory. - identifying the errors was made harder because now when you pick “Consumed” it shows you the list without indication the location from which it was consumed, so you have to drill down into each bottle to see where it was consumed from (I. The old app, it showed you both the location and the Consumption note in the list. - when you select consume, it gives you an annoying reminder to go search for the wine and makes you click through it, rather than just taking you to the list of wines to search from. I know I need to search for which one I am consuming, but repeatedly assume that selecting the Consume button will take you to the next step of what you need to do, not give you instructions on what you should have done first instead. There are a number of other things that are not intuitive or easy to accomplish. The new version is a total miss, and maddening to someone who has voluntarily paid all these years.

Pretty but frustrating when they move capabilities from the previous app. Uninstalled and went back

Required app for all serious and semi serious wine drinkers.

I am so glad we use cellar tracker. So easy to use!! We no longer forget a wine and let it go past prime and we can see everything we have. We actually enjoy our wine more now!

We’ve used Cellar Tracker for years and not only does it keep our wine organized, it also gives us drink by guidelines & wine reviews from professionals and the community. I love the app so I can check what I have no matter where I am.

I have been using CellarTracker for years and really love its functionality. I use it to inventory all my wines as well as where they are all located. Definitely 5 stars!!

This has been a good app for the 14 years I’ve been using it for free. I’d be more than happy to pay some subscription (database storage isn’t free), but a $14.99/mo subscription is just too much for the average collector. Especially given the most valuable aspect of the app is the community reviews which are crowd sourced. Good luck to the owners, but I’ll be moving my collection back into a spreadsheet.

If you have twenty bottles or more just do yourself a favor and jump on in and use this to track your vino. As you buy more you’re thank me!

Not only is this the best app to track your wines, but their customer support is better than anything you’re gonna find. If you find a winery that is not in their database, they’ll help you get your wines added.
