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.
I follow and use Vinoteka for years now and really love their software despite the fact that since 10.10, syncing to iOS became a nightmare.
As i was just to set up my 10.10 systems for 10.1 when I read about Office 2016 not being compatible with 10.11 at all. (I depend heavily on Outlook Mac )
Then I took a peek on other software I use which had no update for a while and found a tweet from someone who tweeted to Vinoteka about their app crashing on 0.11: https://twitter.com/raphaeI/status/649996867690987520
Last but not least I had a look in the French MAS where also two other people wrote about Vinoteka NOT working in 10.11.
Above made me write my warning., yet I ask you to contact Vinoteka support themselves and ask the same.
What feels very strange its that their former founder Elodie Morin-Rager is not more working at Vinoteka and that the last beta of their iOS app was released 206 day ago (March 2015
My guess is that they are out of business but I hope I am not right. If not I will make me sincere apologies for this conclusion !
We all obviously need to be careful. I got the usual auto response to my support question yesterday. Quick replies have never been their specialty.
I too like the software or the most part - although it's not very Mac-like in places.
Anyone any ideas of the best alternatives, please?
On iOS VinoCell might be a good alternative: https://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/vinocell-manage-your-wine/id521577043?l=en&mt=8
I send them an support e-mail too and also got no response.
Lat but not least I remember they have posted in the end of 2014 some pictures of Vinoteka 4 for Mac, but they are not anymore on their website anymore. Vinoteka 3 for iOS got stuck since last march.....
Thanks too for the VinoCell link.
What about Cadent's?
We could also use CellarTracker, which is where I get the details from anyway.
I just like the idea of a desktop application locally.
I'd also begun to think about putting it all into FileMaker Pro until something better becomes available.
Did you buy it on MAS or from their website. If former you can file a complaint at Apple. Anyhow I think we must bundle our strength to solve this or at least to get some info from Vinoteka.
I have got no reply from Cadent either.
Wrote again to Vinoteka using the info@ email address which they supply.
I bought from MAS; but are they under any actual obligation to update to 10.11 - I wouldn't have thought so?
'…we've submitted new update … with … Mac OS El Capitan … so that both apps work properly again…. All you need to do now is wait until updates are published (stil for free as usual) and everything will be back on track.'
Current status: Both OSX and iOS versions are waiting for (Apple) review. I asked them why they did not already release the non MAS version but that remains unanswered....
Last but not least, IMO no dev is forced to update his software to be compatible with the latest OS, as long as the specs are clear it doesn't. But what would you do if you make software for a living ? ;)
I have been involved in software since the early 1980s and never understood developers who are slow to respond, or fail to do so altogether. Or just let things lapse without explanation. Perhaps they just lose interest?
I agree that it seemed as though VinotekaSoft was acting like that. Indeed, their 'WinePlace' initiative still seems a very long time in coming. Who know what their balance is between staff and resources vs ambitions.
But let's hope that the software on which we all rely is about to be successfully updated and will work without fault on iOS9 and 10.11
It does so much more, seems to have a very bright future and has truly excellent support. Eric there couldn't have been more helpful getting my exported Vinoteka data into CT.
I still wish V. well; but their features and updates and now lack of responsiveness have just been too unfortunate.
