Start with the job
Most "best wine app" lists compare apps that are not trying to do the same thing. One helps you buy, one runs a cellar, one teaches. So the useful question is what you want the app for.
I want to learn about wine
Winelingo (short lessons, games and a scanner that explains the bottle) or Wine Master (a free course with 460+ lessons). The learning apps compared.
I want to know if this bottle is any good
Vivino: crowd ratings for millions of wines. Winelingo vs Vivino · Vivino alternatives · Vivino vs Delectable.
I want to find a bottle and a fair price
Wine-Searcher: prices from tens of thousands of merchants.
I want to manage a cellar
CellarTracker: inventory, values and drinking windows.
I am studying for WSET or a sommelier exam
Cork Dork for flashcards, Wine Master or Winelingo's free practice tests for mock exams.
Not sure what you like yet? Take the free wine palate quiz first: eight questions about coffee, chocolate and lemons, no wine knowledge needed, and you get a white and a red style to try.

How we keep these pages honest
- Facts about another app come from its own App Store or Google Play listing, its own website or Apple's public data. The one exception is who owns Delectable, which comes from news reports of the 2016 sale. Each comparison table links its sources.
- In the tables, a dash for another app means its listing does not describe that feature. It does not prove the feature is missing.
- Every page shows the date the facts were last checked. Apps change; if a page is out of date, tell us.
- We did not install and test every app. We compare what each company says its app does.
- Where another app is the better choice, the page says so.
