I used to like and use this App a lot. For some reason, they changed the design in December 2022: The new Flavor Profile is not intuitive and far less informative than it used to be - it doesn‘t tell me much about the spirit anymore. And when you choose „View all reviews“, you can‘t even see anymore which spirit the users talk about - it is not shown on the screen. To change the choice of listing (alphabetical, score, etc.) it now takes several steps - in the old version it was accomplished much faster with a pull-down menu. All this is several steps back. I hope they adapt it. Do not update if you have the old version!
Ok, aber sehr kleine mainstream Datenbank
Nachdem ich mit Vivino recht gute Erfahrungen gemacht hatte, suchte ich etwas ähnliches für Whisky. Auf den ersten Blick bietet Distioller den gleichen Funktionsumfang, aber nciht ganz so durchdacht und mit einer sehr Mainstream-lastigen Datenbank. Die Suche erfolgt nur über Texteingabe. Nicht gefunde Whiskysorten könne gemeldet werden. Die Mitteilung enthält dann die Email Adresse und eine 1-Zeilige Beschreibung des Flaschentextes. Eine Fotosuche und -eingabe wäre hier wirklich hilfreich.
Zur Datenbank: Von allen Wiskys, die ich habe, wurden nur 5 gefunden. Auf Meldungen gab es bisher nie Rückmeldungen und die Flaschen wurden nicht in die Datenbank aufgenommen.
Save your money
The app is decent but I paid for a month subscription to see if I liked it and I still get pop ups asking me to join every time I use the barcode scanner. After the pop up goes away the app works OK but it’s a pain.
Another issue is when manually searching for a product I have to add it to a list then go back and tell it how many I have. You can’t change the inventory at the same time.
I may keep the app but will definitely cancel the subscription.
Disappointing changes
I am disappointed that Distiller simplified the at-a-glance flavor profiles in this recent iteration. Unless that information is still available in the paid version of the app, much of the value has been lost
Too permissive
App asks for too many privacy violating permissions. Please reduce and be more respectful.
Great concept but not very diverse
Looking through the whiskeys this app with show whiskey and when you select them for more info it then displays “no spirit found”. If you don’t have the spirit then why is there picture of it in your browsing section? And if the spirit is not found why does it show up in the search results when I type in the name?
Doesn’t seem very robust in browsing and searching functions.
Great booze guide
I love using distillers to prevent buyers remorse. But, I don’t agree with all the reviewers. This helps me with comparisons and tasting notes.
Cost too high
You either have to pay $50 a year or watch ads.
Authentication is broken
Sign in to the iOS has been failing for over a week. No support, not even a response. Terrible. Desktop and mobile web apps work fine.
Terrific for whisky lovers!
I only wish all apps were this user friendly and easy to use. Scan the label or type in search bar to discover the flavors and notes of a whisky before you buy it.
Charts, reviews and lists (user created) make this a must have app for those who may be new or to the experienced.
Plus the customer support is 1000%. I had a challenge with my new iPhone signing it and Matias was super helpful and patient.
Easily 5 stars!!
