From the Client
Condensing the enormous James Halliday database of tasting notes down into a usable iPhone app was a huge challenge. We selected Outware as our partner because they felt like a good cultural fit for our business and really grasped our commercial objectives. The Wine Companion 2011 app has been incredibly well received and is currently number 1 in its category and has reached number 4 in the overall app store charts, with the latest version averaging a 4.5 star rating. We're delighted and are currently working with Outware on multiple new projects'.
