What the analysis found
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 2
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Aggressive ad load
This app has had a turbulent life - it was once brilliant and then ruined by attempts to overmonetise it, betraying reviewers who provided it with rich content. Thankfully that phase has passed - the label reader works again on the free…
I declined all marketing cookies yet I got flooded with wine ads on browser and fb.
Too many ads — Too many ads it has been ruined
Paywall blocks the basics
I don't like this new update. It won't load the wine when I take the picture. It's just a blank page. The new layout seems clunkier and its harder to find the info about the wine I'm looking at. And on top of everything you only get to…
My 10yr cellar now hidden behind paywall, can’t trust the app anymore — I’ve been a user for over a decade. Have 100+ bottles in the cellar and almost 2k reviews. When Vivino first introduced a paid version a few years ago it hid useful…
Not worth it, paywall — They ruined this app with the premium features. They now hide everything behind a paywall so the app is useless. Time to find a better app.
What this app sells
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.

These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
How the automated analysis works
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
