Is there a cider tasting app?

Cider Radar is a free cider tasting app for the web, iPhone and Android. You can scan a label to open a bottle's card with tasting notes and community ratings, rate ciders from 1 to 5 and on sweetness, body, tannin, turbidity and funk, keep a tasting cellar, and find cider makers and places on a map.

What Cider Radar does

  • Scan a label. Point the camera at a bottle to open its card, with tasting notes, community ratings and where people drink it.
  • Rate on cider's own scales. Rate each cider from 1 to 5 and on five cider-specific scales: sweetness, body, tannin, turbidity and funk.
  • Keep a tasting cellar. Build your own record of the ciders you have rated.
  • Find cider on the map. The map lists 2,329 cider makers in more than 50 countries (as of 2026-10-02), along with cider bars, shops and festivals.

Why cider-specific scales?

Cider varies on dimensions that matter for choosing the next bottle: how sweet it is, how full-bodied, how tannic, how cloudy and how funky. The guide on how to describe cider taste explains these words, and the cider sweetness guide explains why the same cider can taste sweeter to one person than another. For pairing ideas to note alongside your ratings, see what food goes with cider.

How do I find cider places with it?

The guide on how to find cider near you walks through using the map, browsing by place and finding cider by type, and where to find cider bars covers bars specifically. On the website, browse by country at ciderradar.com/countries.

Who is it for?

Anyone of legal drinking age who wants to remember ciders, discover makers and compare notes. The iOS app is available in 20 languages; the website is in English.
