Has to be better than the hard copy

Please do something, at the moment this is just a look. No better than the hard copy. Additional features like favorites does not work. So much potential as you already own the rich content. You can do so much better 🙏🏿

Platter App 2020

Very disappointed. I’ve been using the previous version for years with great joy but was now forced to subscribe and pay for the 2020 version. Used up 5 free searches now I’m urged to subscribe!? What? Also, user interface not as good as previous version. Boschendal Elgin Chardonnay not even rated. Info on estates and producers very poor. I’ll not be recommending Platter App to friends any more like I used to.

Historical Reviews

I’ve been a subscriber since the App was launched and find it extremely helpful as a guide when shopping for wine.

I do however feel a bit done in, as - unlike those who purchase the book yearly - a lot if historical reviews seem to ‘disappear’ with every year’s update. I also feel that there is lots if interesting information in the hard copy that could/ should be included in the app. If this is not possible, why not offer a package deal whereby subscribers can get the book at a much reduced price annually?
