About this app

PLEASE NOTE -- THIS APP IS FREE TO DOWNLOAD BUT THEREAFTER A PAID SUBSCRIPTION TO PLATTER'S DATA IS REQUIRED. A SUBSCRIPTION IS VALID FOR ONE YEAR AND INCLUDES ACCESS TO THE WEB-BASED GUIDE (WWW.WINEONAPLATTER.COM)

Since 1980, Platter's hardcover book has been the winelover's essential guide to exploring the world of South African wine, including reviews of over 8,000 wines by a team of expert judges and key information about more than 900 wine producers. This app is “Platter's in your pocket", with the latest wine descriptions and ratings, plus updated winelands travel information at your fingertips.

To note:
1. Platter's app has been developed for the latest phone software versions and all features may not work on earlier versions.
2. The app data is replaced annually at launch of the new printed guide. A subscription allows access to the data for one year from date of subscription purchase, whereafter you will need to renew your subscription.
3. Occasionally there may be wines that are not in the database. Usually this is due to producer non-submission or wines not being ready for review by our tasters. You are welcome to email us to check.
4. Users of the web-based version of the guide (www.wineonaplatter.com) can log in to the app using their current Platter's username and password.

Great content terrible build. You're meant to be able to start typing a brand/wine/region etc and trigger a dropdown list. It works about 50% of the time. When it does work many entries are often missing. Frustrating as it really hampers utility of what would otherwise be a great resource.

Very disappointed. Have been unable to open the app after updating in early December. Says "unfortunately platter has stopped". Deleted and downloaded again. Still the same. And I'm paying for a fulle year subscription!

app keeps on stopping when I select a wine. cannot get to see any details on the wines. wish I'd never bought the online version. I should have just stuck with the good old faithful hard copy.

Hi Tony, sorry for late reply. Uninstalling and reinstalling, then logging in again, almost always sorts the issues out. Otherwise please email to office@wineonaplatter.com and we'll assist.
