Pros and cons of iWine app for iPhone and iPad

iWine app good for

Well done. The most recent update improves by making % of grape varietals easy to add. Should have ability to search wines in a data base like droid app. Or bar code lookup (that actually works). Does the job.
Another great iWine update... The ability to display total worth of my collection is great! I also love, love, love tracking by purchase date - an excellent update!
Simple to use, keeps track of our wine great and never have any problems with it. Its worth it!
Well worth the cost. This app is easy to use and has great features. Just started using it and I cant come up with any criticisms, so i give it 5 stars!
Does what it says. Looks easy and organized. Just what I was looking for.
Takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it the app becomes easy to use. Suggestion: have some method of navigating up and down the wine list besides scrolling. Overall, the app works well and is quite useful.

Some bad moments

After ios7.1.1, no longer functions. Lost all wines and cannot restore from dropbox backups. Total dbase meltdown. Update: problem w regions input - did restore old file - app owners say are fixing... Maybe stay away til new version?
I had high hopes for a very basic, simple journal that would allow me to upload a photo of my label and ability to add tasting notes and info. Totally buggy software. I spent 10 minutes trying to get one wine added and still could not get all basic info added. Very disappointing.
Terrible. Inconsistent menus, not intuitive, and after second try couldnt find my first and only entry!
