Finally, a good iPhone wine app - Cor.kz
After a lot of work, a bunch of us have come together to release an iPhone app to help us with our wine addiction. Cor.kz (found at http://cor.kz) is an application for your iPhone that provides you with the only mobile front end to the massive CellarTracker wine database. We found ourselves having a hard time using the web front end to CellarTracker, so we decided it was time to build a front end that was native to the iPhone and much more friendly.
Now its only been out there for a few days, and we've already seen it installed by wine enthusiasts in over 20 different countries. If you've been following me on twitter, you probably think I'm an alcoholic because you've seen my tweets about drinking wine. Well, our app enables you to share the information about your favorite wine with friends on twitter, thus as I've been testing the app it appears that I'm drinking 10 bottles a day.
Even if you don't have a CellarTracker account, you can still search the massive database to find the community information about a particular wine. I find this is most useful in a restaurant when I'm trying to determine which wine to buy for dinner. Cor.kz will even show you detailed label information to insure that the waiter brings the right bottle of wine.
Anyway, this app has become a labor of love for us. I've added a few more screenshots to my flickr account. If you have questions, feel free to ping us at support@cor.kz .
I'll be blogging about the whole iPhone dev experience in the next couple days. It has been eye-opening to say the least.
Now I'm off for some more wine....
