I can’t believe this has turned into a cash grab, the developer of this app missed a great opportunity by being greedy. I’d consider paying $0.50 to a $1 per month or $10 per year for the ability to see up to date secondary pricing info but $3 per month or $25 per year? For that price there’s going to need to be some added features or benefits, I pay $1 per month for the OnlyDrams app because that $1 per month enters me into their allocated bourbon raffles. This will be the death of Bourbon Blue Book if they don’t adjust the subscription cost or consider adding monthly allocated raffles.

I like the app! I know some have an issues with the pricing but I feel the pricing is more than fair for the value added to my bourbon shopping experience. Haven’t used much of the other features honestly tho. Every time I use the blue book it seems to get better and better at taking whatever I type in and showing me what I want. It’s nice to see pricing on bottles at a micro level? I.e. seeing all the coy hill barrels is awesome. I guess my only complaints right now were 1) understanding where the data is collected, maybe it’s posted somewhere and I just zoomed right over it, idk. 2) load times are a little long when I first open it on my phone, but i understand there could be many reasons for that and might not even be a you thing. And last, ig the home page could look a little more modern, the blocks just look more like place holders. But maybe that a design choice and has nothing to do with my experience of the app.

I love the current update that allows me to rate a bourbon and save my tasting notes. I have anywhere from 2-3 drinks a month and can’t remember what I liked or disliked about a pour. Now I’m able to save my notes and look back to see my thoughts . The Bourbon Blue book has come in handy on several occasions. The wheel of Destiny is a fun way to decide on my pour. When I was looking at this app, I personally checked the 1 star reviews first. Clearly the majority of the 1star reviews are people just wanting FREE access and think a 1 month $3 fee is too much to justify using this app to determine if it’s right for them. It’s not for everyone. I chose the 1 month as a trial, but converted to a yearly subscription after..

Ignore all the negative reviews complaining about having to pay a subscription. You get what you pay for. There are lots of “free” sites and apps with pricing info and I have tried them all. They all are inaccurate with so many bottles. Secondary pricing is falling on many bottles almost monthly. BOURBONEUR is the only app that has consistent and up to date pricing. The subscription is not expensive and worth it. You will save the cost of it the first time you look to buy something off secondary. I have used this app to negotiate lower prices on many bottles. If you want real world pricing then get this app.
