Thank You Beta Testers!

As we approach our upcoming launch of the new mobile app, we at CellarTracker want to express our gratitude to this community for the invaluable role you've played in shaping the new app experience. Your keen insights, passionate feedback, and unwavering support have been top of mind throughout our development process. With your input, we have a new, modern, responsive, and user-friendly mobile experience that retains the spirit of what makes CellarTracker special.

We plan to continue relying on the wisdom of the community to guide future improvements to CellarTracker. We will continue using feedback.cellartracker.com as our primary forum for collecting, organizing, and communicating about product feedback from the community. We value your contributions to this platform tremendously and are committed to building in public with you all.

Retrospective on Our New Mobile App

We’re so excited about launching the new app! Here are some of the biggest reasons why:

- Streamlined add and consume bottle flows with beautiful search results

- Flexible cellar exploration with new sorting and filtering support

- Easy access to community wine recommendations and reviews on Home and Activity screens

The product has come a long way in the last year, thanks to your feedback. And we’re incredibly excited about how much better CellarTracker will get over the next 10 years with your help 😍

Sneak Peek Into What’s Coming Soon

While we're thrilled about our upcoming launch, we're equally excited about what the future holds. We're keenly aware that some important suggestions are not available yet. We want you to know that your voices have not been lost. Here are a few major features you've been vocal about that are on our roadmap, coming your way soon:

Streamline accept delivery, relocate, and undrink with re-designed wine cards

Include bottle details, consumption history, location, pro scores, and more in a re-designed wine details screen

We also have some small improvements in the works that collectively will make a big difference.

- Remember the member’s last camera mode (label vs barcode)

- Support autocomplete when a member adds/edits a bottle, purchase, or consumption note field

- Add sorting and filtering to global search

- Aggregate collection list cards into a single card per wine name

- Browse label images from search results

Lastly, we aim to work on a compact view of the collection list wine cards, coming soon.
