Viewing single bottle broken

This has been the case for multiple releases now I have sent many emails to support address. No fixes and no responses.
App ruined
MartyY16
Was great and could get prices. Very very buggy now and barely works. Horrible now.
New Layout makes it hard to see text fields
Aruba99
Light grey boxes that are used to highlite a selected wine masks the text underneath with data such as ratings, drinking window, etc... In general the new layout provides less contrasts between fields and text making it overall harder to read on my iPad. Not sure what you were thinking with this new layout but would prefer that you go back to the older layout or allow the user to choose.
Inpossible to use in dark mode
dynedain
Loved for years, but wouldn’t download it now. With the new design, all the input fields are illegible if your phone is in dark mode
Needs updating

This is/ was one of my favorite apps but last year took a strange turn downward when it got a makeover. Text in the review field is invisible when typing, on both my iPhone and iPad. And the average price paid no longer shows up. That was a great help when shopping. Would give 3 stars but added a star for how great this used to be, and hoping the app gets back to greatness.
Broken!
Cool Apps Rock
Paid for this app now it’s whining about some app key when scanning. Fix this!
No longer supported... go to CellarTracker
LLinMI
Sadly, this app is no longer supported and there are some issues with it. I have reached out at least twice over the past 12-18 months with specific concerns, questions, & issues. Not a single response. Not sure what happened because it used to be great! Don’t waste your time here. Just go straight to. CellarTracker (the database back-end to this app.) There were features here that I liked better than CellarTracker, but I’ll just learn how to use CT from here on out.
Limitations
Babjlb
Overall I like this app. My big concerns come in from the lack of ability to add a wine that does not appear in their database or to adjust the year of the wine (it will be in the database for 2016 but not 2017).
Three-in-One App

All in all this app is an easy 5. This is one of my favorite apps; I use it regularly. I could see it being useful for anyone from the hardcore oenophile to someone just getting into wines looking to find hidden gems, develop their nose, and save some money while they're at it. The app has a ton of functionality for those who need it but the interface is still really clear and intuitive. My only recommendation would be to add a vintage chart and update the Apple Watch complication. As it is now I just supplement this app with Wine Spectator's free Vintage Chart app. Also I don’t really understand the purpose of the Apple Watch complication. It doesn’t seem to do anything. Cor.kz is really three apps in one: it helps you quickly find great wines in the store at the best prices, remember the wines you've tried and what you liked or disliked about them, and keep track of the wines you have at home and when to drink them. It also has a neat little guide to wine terms, varietals, and regions that's actually quite comprehensive. The first function allows you to search by scanning a barcode or entering the name. Unlike other reviewers, the barcode scanner has worked really well for me; it actually seems to scan faster than a lot of dedicated barcode scanning apps. On rare occasions a barcode doesn't come up with the wine I'm looking for, but if I search for the wine by name right after that, the app has a neat feature where it will offer to remember that barcode for that wine; so I never have to enter the name twice. Once you find the wine, the app lists some prices online so you can know if you're getting a good deal. Cor.kz also helps you remember what wines you've had, and what you liked or disliked about them. It's a really helpful feature when you try a lot of wines and want to be able to find it again later. It's also a great feature for people developing their wine nose too: by practicing picking out the individual notes and recording them you get a better sense of what you like and how to read wine notes or tell a sommelier what you like. The third function is its cellar tracker (or really its integration with Cellar Tracker). It does the job very well, helping you recall what you've got at home when you're at the local wine shop or wondering if you need to stop by there before heading to a friend's for dinner. When you're at home it's still useful because it gives you an idea of whether the wine's ready to drink or should cellar for another year or two.
