I could go on and on about why this app is insanely poorly designed and maintained, but I'll try to keep it short and structured.Firstly, the app is insanely slow. It's not responsive, with lag time up to a few seconds at time, probably due to how inefficient the database queries are.Secondly, it is littered with weird bugs, like how some of my user-created stores keep getting deleted, and once it does get deleted, every wine that I labelled with said store gets turned into default, which is "Taste". I thought this was rather unacceptable. Same with how sometimes when writing a review, the whole review writing block gets pushed all the way up and gets stuck there, which does not let you see what you're writing. The list is quite literally endless.Thirdly, there's not enough useful features, not like those AI bs which I despise, but stuff like sorting every list in my wishlist (not sorting the wines within each list themselves). Or how there's no user ratings at all, unless you make a public rating/review ish about it. There should absolutely be a private rating, for sure. And what about deleting or editing a store? God this app is in the 2000s era for how much it refuses to evolve over the years, in terms of actual usefulness. And yes, the list goes on.Finally, editing a wine entry requires FARRR too many clicks. The UI needs some serious reevalution imo. Rather than making things look fancier, maybe focus on real utility. But beyond that, focus on fixing the lag, bugs, and unresponsiveness.I'm honestly surprised this gets all the rave and so far I can't find much criticism anywhere, not on reddit, forums, not on here, not anywhere. This app, as far as good apps go, is such a seriously bad one. I'm already too committed to this at this point, and my wine lists are growing with too many details attached. But I wish I had picked a different one from the get go. This pops my vein the majority of the time. And considering I'm a paid member, please fix the app, thanks.
Thank you for the detailed feedback. We are sorry to hear about your frustration with usability of the app and take like reports like this very seriously.On performance: the app is backed by a very large, long-lived dataset with real-time synchronization across platforms. That does not excuse perceived latency, but improving responsiveness remains an active and ongoing area of work.On bugs: each of the issues you mentioned have since been fixed in the latest version of the app, and we continue to ship incremental improvements. We are highly responsive to bug reports, and if you ever encounter unexpected behavior, please report it to support@cellartracker.com so we can investigate promptly.On features: you mentioned wanting to sort every list on your wishlist, could you clarify what you mean by that? As you noted, sorting wines within lists is already supported. We actively collect feature requests and workflow improvements (including private ratings and reducing steps to edit wines) at feedback.cellartracker.com, where you can upvote existing ideas or submit new ones. This forum directly informs our product roadmap, and many updates originate there.CellarTracker is not a short-lived app, nor is it built around trends. It is continuously evolving with a focus on long-term reliability, data integrity, and a serious love for wine. Thoughtful feedback like yours helps guide where we focus next.
