Ohio Liquor (OHLQ)

This app recently must’ve had some kind of update because it worked flawlessly for me for about a year now I can’t get it to even pull up liquor for the entire State and all I get from their tech support is runaround. There’s obviously a problem with the app as for right now one star don’t get it.

I’ve been using this app pretty consistently over the past month to find bourbon all over the Columbus area and I’ve noticed a couple of things. Sometimes I will see that a store has an allocated bottle on the map that says “in stock” or “limited supply” but when I call the store or show up in person it will not be available. Most of the time this is due to either a broken or stolen bottle which doesn’t get officially sold. I’ve seen bottles on the map that stay this way for weeks at a time which is frustrating. A faster way of getting this issue resolved would be nice. If possible I would also recommend the app includes a feature that shows what limited allocations stores are getting each week and what time they come out as it is hard to keep track of every store’s drops currently. Either you have to call in or visit the store and ask which is kind of a waste of time in my opinion. Finally, it would be nice to sort for availability of bottles in a certain radius of my location, that way I can see if a bottle that is in stock isn’t only located hundreds of miles away from me. Just a few suggestions but otherwise I think this app is great.

This app is super easy to use. The store map is really fast and helpful, especially if you enable your location. It makes it quick to see what’s in stock nearby. Product search is streamlined and simple. You can use it as a guest, but if you create an account, you can save your favorite bottles to custom lists, and your lottery entries show up (if you entered from an account). You can also share lists with friends or import their lists, which makes finding bottles quick and easy. Whether you’re a collector or just casually browsing, this app makes finding bottles at OHLQ more efficient and honestly, kind of fun.
