> Cider Radar connects cider drinkers with the people who make it: find makers, bars and shops on one map, scan labels, rate, and order direct. As of 2026-10-21, the map lists 2,328 cider makers and 2,401 cider places in at least 52 countries. Free on the web, iOS and Android. Ordering direct from cider makers is available on iOS, Android and the web app, with delivery in Slovenia.

Cider Radar is made by Skibin & Skibin d.o.o. (legal name: SKIBIN & SKIBIN, proizvodnja fermentiranih pijač d.o.o.), a company registered in Slovenia on 2022-09-30; the Cider Radar brand was founded in 2025; founders: Aleksei Skibin, Yury Skibin, Mikhail Moskvichev. Cider Radar is free to download on iOS and Android, and the web app at app.ciderradar.com runs in any browser. Users can scan a label, rate a cider 1–5 and on cider's own scales such as sweetness, body, tannin, turbidity and funk, and write tasting notes.

Coverage is strongest for cider makers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Spain and Australia. Bar, shop and festival listings are growing.
