As written about two months ago on their website Vinoteka compatible updates for both 10.11 and iOS 9 would be released yesterday December 21. See below for the complete text: "SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT24/10/2015 As Mac OS 10.11 El Capitan and iOS 9 have drastically changed, Vinoteka Mac and Vinoteka Touch also have to change!

You can nevertheless carry on using current versions on lower OSs. The VinotekaSoft Team" Considering the cheating info that two months ago all software was under validation at Apple, I already expected no new updates were released on december 21. I was right and it shows how these devs are lying to and fooling around with their customers leaving them in the cold. Worst is that they make no efforts to further communicate to us.. I use Macs since 1986 but never experienced this....

The story on Vinoteka conitues: Two weeks ago we got the info on Twitter that iOS and OS X apps were in review.

apps are under review, thanks for your trust. Second, we still need to polish the non MAS version

As the current review time is 7 days, I send @Vinoteka last week a message on the current status of the review. I never got a reply.

Yesterday they send tweets and info on Facebook with an important message:

Well, well. So at the end we can not use Vinoteka on both iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 and they fooled us with telling the apps were in review. Now they try to tell that “OS 9 and OS X 10.11 have drastically changed”

Ridiculous to believe their nonsense after months of waiting and I predict we get new info in December that they stopped developing.

crashes under El Capitan so be cautious

3.4.1 seems actually 3.4.0 which is the one is also listed on their website

After a lot of research, I decided that this was the Gold Standard for software of its type; so bought it at the discount price on the MAS. I was not wrong: feature after feature, sophisticated functionality after sophisticated functionality kept on coming! Only minor drawbacks: the documentation is great at describing how to make each part of the software work; but doesn't actually explain why. It did crash once when trying to edit (crop) a label image. But it really does do everything most wine enthusiasts want. Web integration is getting better with each release. This is the app to get for this purpose.

Wow. Overwhelming. Great (I think!), but overwhelming. I am a person with a great interest and moderate experience in wine, looking for an app that might educate me a bit, help me catalogue a few bottles, and maybe connect with others having similar taste. This app is more of a straight-up cataloguing app for somebody with a cellar of like 500 bottles. It seems to have a million features, including food pairings. For the most part, these features are not intuitively easy to use. In short, if you are hard core, you'll love this app. If you are a bit of a dilettante or you have fewer than 50 bottles in your cellar, then this is probably more than you need.
