I recently spent about 5 hours setting up new shelving and reorganizing. I used InVintory on my phone throughout that process and was very impressed with how fast and easy it was to use. I know know precisely what I have an where everything is. The ability to access the collection via web to add details while referencing producer websites and my order history records is awesome.All but 2 of the wines were in the database and ~90% were recognized by scanning the labels. It was easy to add those 2 unrecognized wines manually, so I still have them recorded in my collection while InVintory is reviewing for their database.I noticed a few errors in the database while adding wines to my collection and used the “report” feature to request corrections. This leads me to my one complaint: the wine “type” attribute is not reportable. There are several wines in the database which are clearly “Sparkling” (it’s part of the bottle’s name) but they are identified as “Still” in the database. This renders the filter by wine type feature inaccurate. Hopefully this can be easily corrected.Overall a great app, particularly for being free. The pay-only features are interesting but IMO too expensive justify for a recreational/non-professional user.

Overall, I love InVintory, and I use it constantly. It’s a great app, and they’re constantly improving it, so it does keep getting better. That said, I happen to use the Deliveries function a great deal - tracking en primeur orders, for example - and that function, in particular, is a mess (on the iPad version, it’s been “under construction” for months… and months… and months). Seeing info about what is waiting to be delivered - price paid, date purchased, etc. - is klugey and unreliable. And it’s frustrating that linking between vintage info, including reviews, and bottle info (re already-owned wines) is sometimes one-directional and therefore requires a separate search in “Search Wines.” Still, with high expectations that they will eventually get it all “finished,” I am confident that it is the best wine cellar app on the market bar none. And I do love the many improvements they keep making. BTW, a small simple additional improvement would be to add a “Format” option under Analytics, so you can look through your collection by sizes if you’re planning an occasion and thinking you want the perfect magnum or d-mag or 6L for the event.

I have tried pretty much all the wine storage/inventory apps out there and they all have some sort of let down that makes them not fit for purpose. Not only is InVintory totally fit for purpose but their customer service is beyond terrific. I was looking to add some rarities from some small Australian producers which did not show up in the App’s search, so I hit the recommendation button. Within hours I have a reply from the GUY WHO OWNS THE COMPANY saying that they’ve added my suggestion and that I can now add it to my cellar. With an increasingly large and complicated cellar spread across 2 continents, keeping track of what I have and when I should start drinking it is beyond easy with InVintory, and the ease with which weird and wonderful stuff can be added to the database makes this app essential.

I started using the app to catalog my cellar which was not well organized. In doing so I found that if I made an error or wanted to go back and add data to an empty field the app showed its limits very quickly. Getting a wine logged is simple - scan the label and off you go for the most part. It didn’t take long to encounter a wine that wasn’t in the database. Gerard Bertrand Cap Insula Red Blend Languedoc 2017. Adding it was fairly straightforward though I only added 2 bottles which I had located first. Adding additional bottles requires starting from scratch. There should be a way to just edit the quantity field up. It can be decreased as wine is consumed but not the reverse. Also, adding multiple vintages of the same wine is a pain. I have 7 vintages of one wine and had to add each one as if it were a separate bottle. Please allow adding bottle count and adjustment of the vintage fields. I will add a star to my review.More to come as I add bottles!
