The old version of the app from early-mid 2020 was far superior and more user-friendly. They decided to do the pro thing to get rich and now they've purposefully broken the free version to require more clicks to get to where you want to go. Opening to the personal notes page of a spirit instead off the actual information page is done to try to force you to get pro so you can put your own notes. My notes are in my tastes. I don't need a separate notes section and I certainly don't want that to open when I can't even enter any notes without upgrading. This app is going down the drain with the pro version being pushed at every opportunity within the app. This used to be 5/5 for my friends and I but we're bailing for the Flaviar app now. See ya.

This was by far my favorite app, but recent changes have made it less user friendly. It used to open with big, attractive font for each whisky in your list. It was easy to scroll through to choose what you want, then just touch to get more info on that whisky. Now the list is less appealing, it takes a long time to load, it’s very slow to scroll through (and I have an iPhone 12 Pro), and you can’t set a default way to list (eg by rank). Worst of all you can’t touch the whisky to get more info. If you touch from the list it now goes to a small screen showing just that whisky, but then you have to fiddle around with rating icons at the bottom of the screen to bring up the expanded whisky info page. It also has an add banner at the top of that page as well. It used to be a sheer joy to use, but now it’s only average. Revert back Sox months and you have a winner.

I love this app overall.

Suggestions for improvement:
- Add an option to have a list or log of previous checkins so you don’t have to search the specific name to find it and see your checkin(s).
- Make it less laggy. Takes a few seconds to be able to search every time I load the app.
- Add more filters, for example regions for scotch or more specific price points based on your area. Whiskey very widely in previous (like other alcohol) and the price range filter is not very sensible as is.
- Improve the “you may also like” lists to be more relevant. Often times they show completely different whiskey types than what I am even looking at.
- Improve the social component to where you can see what people are buying near you and how they like it. That way you can feel a sense of community if you don’t have friends that use this app.
- Be able to filter pro reviews by reviewer. As we all know taste is subjective, but it’s often difficult to sort by the pro ratings if they have only been reviewed by one “pro”/“expert.” Thus if you want to try something and see it has a low score, having multiple expert reviews (perhaps show the average expert score in the search window) and then have all the expert reviews viewable and collapsible once the whiskey or drink is pulled up.
