Built a blind tasting app, want input from serious tasters

Thank you!! Hopefully they accept me for next year!

I assume that if the host loads the wines, the idea is not to do it completely randomly as in one 20 year old Amarone, a young Sonoma Pinot Noir, a Chilean Merlot, etc.? So it would be useful for a themed tasting in that case.

But what is the advantage of using a phone vs paper? Or am I showing my age - I don’t live on my phone so maybe it makes sense to people who do. Not trying to be discouraging at all, because on some level the idea is kind of fun, but if I invite people over and they spend time on their phones, I don’t invite them back.

I can’t even remember the last time I’ve used a physical pen except to endorse checks.

Very promising app! Thanks for sharing.

A couple of potential tweaks:

• When toggling the required grid, it would be a smoother experience if the score was tallied off of it
• Recognizing that tasting is subjective, there is potentially some additional scoring that you could implement based on Vivino or CellarTracker tasting notes (if easy to pull in via api)
• I would recommend switching up the order of questions to first focus on the tasting notes. That will provide a bit more recent info for deducting the wine’s origin and variety

Super cool concept, will host a tasting using it and give you additional perspectives.

Thanks for the feedback!

• “When toggling the required grid, it would be a smoother experience if the score was tallied off of it”
  Not a bad idea!

• “Recognizing that tasting is subjective, there is potentially some additional scoring that you could implement based on Vivino or CellarTracker tasting notes (if easy to pull in via api)”
  I have tried many times to pull data off these platforms but their API’s either dont exist or they are ridiculously expensive.

• “I would recommend switching up the order of questions to first focus on the tasting notes. That will provide a bit more recent info for deducting the wine’s origin and variety”
  The questions can be reordered to any order so you can set the tasting notes to be the first question if you like!

Did not realize! Thanks!

Also sorry to hear about the API
