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.

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.
