I might as well give it a go

Thanks John, Purchased this last night for Android.

Looks like a good tool instead of carrying around the Bible however I do have some reservations.

The Irish Section seems to have been cut down from the last version I have which is the 2010.
I wonder if anyone can confirm or deny the following from the 2012 printed version.

Basically some have been cut altogether and others have only the Balance note inserted with the Nose:, Taste: & Finish: missing which for me is a bit disappointing.

I just happened to notice it on the RB 15yo and the expensive Greenspots so decided to do a bit of a comparison between the App and my 2010 printed version on Pot Still & Single Malts. There seems to be a few missing but I did not delve too deeply as it was easier to spot the missing tasting notes.

So the list is as Follows where only the Balance comment has been inserted and none of the other tasting notes.

Now there are plenty that were not included in the 2010 version also as highlighted in Green comment but for a soft ware version should they be including all tasting notes from previous editions as obviously there may be space constrictions on the paper edition but surely this should be maintained as an in-depth record. Say for the likes of the super premium Midletons should they not be retained all through the series as they were in the 2005 editions and previous?

Any comments?

I have not really gone through any other parts of the Bible but hopefully they are not as culled.
