Sipn Bourbon Reviews

Yea SipnBourbon has a good concept but falls short completely. Build a bar is broken most of the time it will not let me “add to bar”. It just clicks and nothing. :-/ then the worst part of all is you can’t add bottles that aren’t in the database. I collect bourbons that are new releases and/or new batches and I cannot even find them in the list. This is upsetting as there should be a way to add new bottles by the upc. So that the database could be more up to date. I have 30 bottles I tired to add but nothing was found. I had hopes for SipnBourbon but now I’ll just use total wine. lol.

I’ve been looking forward to having an app to track my inventory as well as to help make the right selection to add to it. Unfortunately there seem to be too many bugs in it. So now all I have is an app that won’t let me set up my bar and probably a boatload of unwanted emails since I had to log in using my email and verify it to start my bar. Guess it’s back to the drawing board to find a workable inventory app.

Sorry to give 1 star…but is likely the worst app I’ve ever used. Locks up constantly, cumbersome to use and poorly designed.

I like the interface, love how it looks, and I think this could be an excellent app. But right now (Dec 2022 on 14 Pro Max with iOS 16.1) there is a fatal search flaw. It lets you enter four characters in the search window, then the keyboard scrolls down while SipnBourbon searches, preventing you for entering new characters. Then when the keyboard returns, after each additional character typed the keyboard vanishes again and again. Since so many brands have multiple varieties, it makes using the search worthless. It’s probably a simple fix and I would love to update this review when it is.

App looks interesting but locks up every time when searching - usually will not even allow to fully enter name to search for. Defeats purpose and reason for using this.

SipnBourbon has potential. I like being able to build a collection in SipnBourbon to show off what I have but there are a few shortcomings.

1. I don’t see a way to list multiple bottles of the same thing. SipnBourbon gives you and estimated value of your collection but it’s worthless if you cant list more than one bottle of the same thing. I have more than one of Smoke Wagon UCUF but SipnBourbon only tracks that I have one.

2. I can’t add bottles to my “bar” in SipnBourbon by scanning the bar code. I keep getting an error message that “the shelf doesn’t exist”. So I have search manually.

3. When you search manually SipnBourbon updates after EVERY SINGLE LETTER YOU TYPE. When it does this the keyboard disappears while it updating then reappears. It’s extremely annoying.

This is as far as I got exploring SipnBourbon and I have decided to delete it. Maybe when it’s improved I will try it again. As I said it has potential to be a good app but the developers didn’t properly test it before launch.

This probably is a great app, but when it has to search AFTER EVERY LETTER TYPED, it gets very annoying to use. If you have a Search button, DO NOT search when I am typing the letters out!

I’ve been using the Sipn App for a while now and it’s been a great place for me to share my pours and read/learn about what others are drinking.

The online bar is a great way to organize my collection in a virtual format.

It’s been nice to see the community grow. Highly recommend!

Learned some new ideas from gents (and lady gents) from all around the country. People sharing their favorite finds, love it. It’s like Instagram for bourbon only.

SIPN is such a awesome place for bourbon connoisseurs like me and my friends. Love the feed from people who share the love of bourbon like I do.

Well done and easy to use

This is a great app for any bourbon and whiskey lovers! It brings a cool social/communal aspect to people with the same interests - Great Whiskey!

Great app for any bourbon connoisseur!! Great recommendations from others in the community! Thank you!

This is a great app for all the bourbon lovers out there.
