Wine Scanner, Ratings, Cellar for Android
This is potentially one of the best wine apps for Android for Canadian users. It has everything one needs in selecting a decent wine: useful reviews, plenty of detail on the product, even a photo in most cases. Where it completely falls flat is when one gets to the part where you attempt to find out which store LOCATION the wine is available at. It gets utterly lost, offering store locations not even near where one happens to be. The other issue which has nothing to do with wines is the way the app refuses to exit fully when not needed. Instead it hangs around until one turns off the phone. The web based app works beautifully. But then that's not what mobility is all about.
Honestly I don't know how this app can be rated 3.7, I have a Galaxy S6 and all it does it time out, it looks like it would be great, but it doesn't work!
On par with the best
What a great app for someone like me who enjoys wine but isn't particularly a connaisseur! I love the pairing function !
Wow, I've never felt more confident buying a bottle of wine than with the help of this app. Now I'm sure I'll like everything I buy!
I'm the person that goes into the wine store with no idea what to get. This handy go to resource takes the guesswork out of your wine store errand, and actually makes it fun.
Won't let me put quantity of wine to zero after I have drink it! Please fix.
App is a bit on the buggy side, this could be a great app.
Fantastic, and a big improvement over the previous version. It looks like a proper Android app now, and adds better navigation, a cleaner look, and a label scanner in addition to the bar code scanner. It's pretty slick. Great for keeping track of your cellar, your favourites, and your shopping list. If you tried it before and were disappointed, try it again; it appears to be a complete re-write.
New version of the app is best yet. Scanner works great on labels and bar codes. My cellar option tracks purchases and consumption and is superior to Vivino.
I use this app almost every time I buy wine. The new features and layout are much better. Check out the "Advanced Search" options.
Wonderful upgrade to the app. The new Wine Label Scanner looks fantastic and will be fun to play with. There are tons of features to explore in this app.
Solid app designed by people with a wonderful enthusiasm for wine.
Excellent - less time looking, more time enjoying!
I don't go to the LCBO without it!
I've been waiting for a wine app that works. I don't have a stocked cellar, I just like to try different wines and this app helps me find them all.
Great wine app, my new favorite.
Can't believe this is a free app! Fantastic!
Very cool.
It looks great, but has never ever worked on my Android phone- it actually freezes my phone for minutes at a time. Developer. please fix!
"loading content" went on for over an hour, and then I stopped it. Tried searching manually, and the search just never stopped.
Some good info on pairings and such but the Barcode scanner didn't find many of my wines.
Bought my Samsung S2 and this was the 1st app installed. Works great .. BTW it worth it to subscribe to Nat's reviews as well.
Buggy Barcode functionality; inputs to My Cellar needs to be more User-friendly, e.g. price field, difficult to edit corrections in My Cellar.
A great resource for wine fans. Lots of fun stuff to read.
I scanned a bar code while in a wine shop. All I got was an order form. FAIL
Need to pay for a monthly subscriptiob use the barcode scanner, which is the reason why I want to download this app in the first place. Uninstalled.
Nice App Hate the subscription.
This app has it all. Highly recommend. Easy to navigate and smooth. I'll probably be buying a lot more wine now :)
Finally on Android! Looks and works as well as the iphone version I've been pining over for a year. Thanks!
Works like the iPhone app but it's at Android! Waited for it to come out. Finally. Thanks!!
Perhaps the very best wine app out there. So much information it might take you a couple of bottles to digest. Wonderful, well thought out. There are even "Funny Wine Quotes". Cheers !
I am thrilled with the Natalie MacLean app for Android! Scan bar code of a wine, you get results and reviews from previous years as well. Brilliant!
For those of us who love wine but are not connoisseurs or sommeliers, Natalie's Wine Picks takes all the guesswork out of the selection process.
I installed this app on my Droid X2 mainly because of the barcode scan feature. However, this feature rarely works for me and all I usually get is a grayed-out oval on the scan screen (the border shows what the camera is actually "seeing"). I tried all the "helps" and even contacted Natalie's website with my question but I really didn't get an answer or a fix. My camera is auto focus and I have a shopping barcode scanner app installed that works flawlessly. I'm not the only one with this problem. UPDATE I just received an update (9/10/12) and it seems as though the barcode scan feature is finally fixed. I now believe this is certainly one of THE BEST all around wine apps given its features and utility for the wine lover. I gave the app 4 stars since some features are limited in the free version which isn't unusual, but the monthly subscription fee vs a one time "paid" version is a turn-off for me.

Shows Toronto always as nearest location for wine. Even with wines I've purchased that day in Ottawa. Sent an email. Was told to set my location on the Web site. Informed them still didn't work. No reply.
This app is a must when shopping at the LCBO. Just scan the barcode and you can read Natalie's review before you purchase. I find the reviews accurate and I'm seldom disappointed with my selection.
Search function glitchy. Barcode scan found object first time and then nothing a second time, for the same barcode. Uninstalling this app as specific search is key.
