Feature Requests, Bugs, and More

Visual option to show where my wine is in the cellar so I don’t have to count bins or rows etc. could be simple grid or complex 3D with label images. Just some way to replicate the design of my physical cellar into digital app.

The AI still seems to struggle with basic questions. I asked it regarding gaps in my cellar such as different regions and styles of wine that I should consider adding, which it did answer to a point, but then when I asked for suggestions, it gave me a listing of wines in my cellar. This happened not once, but multiple times after I rephrased or repeated the question. For instance, after asking the AI to narrow down according to what might be available locally (we are very limited), it again just gave me options that I already own. It never did really seem to be able to answer the question in a meaningful way. This might just be due to the use of a smaller LLM for the AI compared to some other sites? I have had quite helpful interactions with ChatGPT asking almost exactly the same types of questions. I know the AI component is in beta right now so this issue might already be under review.

It is sad that the functionality to display my wines in the wine list format has disappeared from the app. It is one of the best features of visualising the content. Luckily it still works on the web but it was really nice to browse through the wines on my ipad using the app. Thanks!

This is not a functionality idea, but something that is very important to me as a user.

From Chris: Enhanced Drinking Window Info: Would be amazing to show graphically for each wine the bell curve of the optimal drinking winding assuming proper storage. It could update dynamically based on both critic and user ratings.

while I totally benefit from the input of other oneophiles, would prefer if CT focused on things like easier bottle additions- barcode or UPC - Awesome resource for wine lovers, thanks!

I have 90 bottle wine cellar which has 9 shelves. It would nice if I could tell app how many bottles a shelf can store and then easily find shelf(s) that have free spot when adding new bottle

There are lots of wines that do not have a vintage year but do have a finite drinking window. (Most Champagnes and sakes, for example!) Currently, these wines have complete nonsense in the "drinkability score" and "drink by" window. For example I often see bottles whose "drink by" window ended before this bottle was actually bottled. It is incorrect to say that, e.g., ALL bottles of Veuve Clicquot NV have the same drink by window. A bottle that was bottled last year will improve a little and then last longer than an NV bottled 10years ago. Instead of showing wrong information (and, e.g., adding lots of noise/mess to my "drinkability report), CellarTracker should do one of the following: A) remove "drinkability score" and ready-to-drink windows from NV wines B) Add a concept of "NV but bottled on date X" (perhaps the purchase date if the true bottling date is unknown) and for NV wines calculate drinkability and drink-bys based on number of years since bottling date [preferred] Thanks!

There doesn't seem to be a way to do account sharing in the new app like the old one, or if there is it's too well hidden. Here's the support page for account sharing as of now. https://support.cellartracker.com/article/56-account-sharing

Initial fears are this is turning into a mini Vivino. Cellartracker is for the real wine drinking, inventory management utmost, viewing friends cellars and other reviews 2nd. The new app feels too much, too busy, too many pictures, too many suggestions, colour and bling over core inventory management functionality. Please don't lose sight over what made this so good. Vivino should not be viewed as direct competition.

I want to be able to create a new wine within the cellartracker mobile app. This is currently only available on desktop web and I'd like to be able to do this within the app when I'm adding a wine to my cellar that isn't already on cellartracker.

From Jonathan: by Grouping (using Microsoft's terminology here) I mean something akin to the "Summarize" feature you have on the website. When browsing a list I can summarize / group them by region, varietal, etc. Sure. I hope you can also add groupings, or at least note category / group totals somewhere - those are very helpful. And I still really wish I could sort / group pending wines by Store. That's huge for me for inventory control and when receiving pending bottles.

I have tried really hard to get used to the new app. I am the only one that finds every action to be more steps and less intuitive? Adding, consuming, and reporting all seem to be more complicated. As one example, the “add another wine” doesn’t go to the search bar anymore, creating the need for a couple extra clicks to find it. I’ve gone back to the old app and really hope it doesn’t disappear. Anyone else feeling similar or am I just a weirdo?

I would like to open the app and immediately start typing to find a wine in my cellar. My most common entry point in the previous Android app was the text box in the "my cellar" tab with the magnifying glass. I could immediately start looking up any wine in my collection just by typing. In the new app, I have to tap on "in my cellar" and then start typing. This is needless friction when there's ample screen real estate to add the search bar back in.
