Pair It! - Food and Wine Pairings App Reviews

Awesome

A must have for any wine lover

Rip off

What a waste of money. Tells you some recipe ideas but whenever you search for a recipe it comes back no recipes found. So basically you get a list of wines and what to pair with it. You can find this free. Save your money and buy a bottle of wine instead.

Not worth it

Recipes are oddly specific, wine suggestions are confusing and extremely broad. Dont buy it.

Extensive content, great navigation - delightful app!

This app combines a huge selection of wines with an even huger (!) selection of foods to provide an expansive collection of wine pairings! I especially like the phonetic spelling for the wines (maybe we can get this for the hard-to-pronounce foods too?), and I found "Chef Bruces Picks" are good starting place.

cool app!

Great app if you love food and wine! its easy to use, fast, and fun to explore new wine and food combinations. The Swirl feature is my favorite :) it lets you swirl your phone to get a new pairing suggestion every time. Cheers!

Nice little app

Im not one to get caught up with brands and reviews, so I dont want to waste my time looking up some review for the exact wine Im looking at at the store. I just want to have a general idea of what that varietal or region tastes like, then bring home something new and enjoy it over a home-cooked meal. And for that, this is nearly perfect. Hopefully it stays that way and never, ever, EVER adds a Twitter function.

Very helpful

Finally, a truly helpful wine pairing app. Bravo!

Best wine app yet.

Intuitive design and packed with information, this is the best wine/food app on the market and Ive tried them all. Get ready to learn. Then get the Wine Enthusiast app and head into the marketplace.

Robust and Thoughtful

This app is encyclopedic in the information it offers, sometimes overwhelmingly so - the only reason I didnt give it five stars is because the sheer number of pairing suggestions per food item can make it hard to make a decision. That said, most of the suggestions, no matter how many there are, make sense. My favorite parts of this app are the "Swirl" function, which gives a random pairing suggestion - its fun and educational - and the chefs pairing suggestions, which are more specific. One of the best wine apps Ive found in the App Store. Highly recommended.

Recipes?

So far Im 0/6 on recipes when I click the "Find Recipes" tab. Tried fish, beef, chicken, salads and many more with not a single "recipe" found. Otherwise a decent app when it comes to understanding pairings. It would be nice I can get a recipe out of the pairings.

Where are the recipes?

There are titles or suggestions of recipes, but very little recipes themselves. The suggestions are also too gourmet - example wild boar showed up several times in suggestions. Ive been searching for Chicken with Wild Mushrooms cooked with Pinot Noir with no luck when I look. What good is listing recipe suggestions if the are not easily found? The app developers need to take a look at Steve Jobs thinking - make it simple!! Please keep swirl result so it shows up when you leave and then return to swirl page. I dont want to have to go through all the swirling again to get to where I left off. A list of all possible swirl results would also be nice if one didnt want to swirl.

Wish there was an iPad ver

I only wish youd make a version for the iPad ... And that some of the recipes were available ...

Too Bad

Too bad the latest update will not open on my iPad!

Wine lover

I found the prior version useful but since installing the last update on Saturday it will not open! Fix this!!

Latest version wont open

I used this app for my work at a restaurant and was hoping the new version would be even better but it turns out the app doesnt even work. Hope it gets fixed soon :/

It works

It crashed after update but all you need to do is delete it, and then reinstall.

Horrible

Can I give the update zero stars? Used to use this app extensively, now it wont even open. Whos the genius responsible?

I use this all the time

I was having problems with the first update but was instructed to delete and reload. It finally loaded but was not functioning properly. This last update seems to have fixed the bugs and it is working wonderfully. The redesigned app looks great and is easy to use. I have always referenced this app when choosing a wine and will continue to do so.

Pair It not working again

Would give 5 but since second update cant open on my iphone 3gs therefore wont rate more than 1 since cant leave empty and my wife for whom I purchased this is not at all happy. FIX THE UPGRADE again !

Great update!

Beautiful design and amazing info make this my goto app for wine pairings.
