Vivino for Windows Phone 8

Vivino (www.vivino.com) is the go-to vino app and service for those who enjoy fine grape potables after a long twenty-four hours of piece of work. It's very pop on iOS and Android considering information technology allows you to use the photographic camera as a scanner to log your collection, including ratings, tips and reviews. That data can so be shared on their network or posted to your Twitter or Facebook. It's similar to Untappd just instead of beer it'south for wine.

So why talk nearly Vivino now? Because in the coming week, give or take a day, the app is getting a significant makeover for Windows Telephone 8 and 8.one. Vivino is on Windows Telephone 7 already, equally we covered the app's release back in Feb 2022. Unfortunately, the app has had no further updates and like an un-picked grape, it slowly went sour. But that's most to modify.
