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.

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.

When you scan a barcode for a bottle it shows you the Storage Info, Bottle Size/Id, Purchase Information and allows you to Edit or Consume. There is no way to get to the actual Wine/Vintage details/Comments for a bottle from that screen. If you hit the "< Bottle Details" chevron it takes you back to the Home screen. Ideally the top section that contains the bottle image and wine title would be clickable and take you to the wine itself so you can see the latest information on your bottle. I agree that Edit/Consume are the most common actions desired when I scan a bottle, but I'd really like to get to the Wine Info in a single click after I scan a bottle. Updated to attach a screenshot of Bottle Details:

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!

Cellar Tracker is built to help me track my cellar. PLEASE give me a way to record my own thoughts on a bottle that I just drank — rating and comments — WITHOUT making this public for every other cellar tracker user to see. It’s PRIVATE if I want to remind myself that my wife thought this wine was a little too sweet or that I drank it at my cousin’s birthday party… but that information will definitely be relevant next month when I’m trying to decide whether to open the next bottle of it or something else. And it’s frankly nobody else’s business that I liked Wine A but not Wine B. It’s fine if some CT users want to exhibit their reviews like social media “influencers”, but it feels really really sketchy to make that mandatory.

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 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.

I use the app primarily, and the desktop app for writing tasting notes. The current app immediately lets me find wine in my cellar. Now, the home page tells me stuff but to do anything useful I have to go somewhere else to find wines in my cellar. I don't understand the point of the home page.

From Jonathan I've swiped down several times in both the In My Cellar section and Ready to Drink sections, but the numbers have stayed the same. I guarantee you not all my wines are ready to drink. https://secure.helpscout.net/conversation/2315525170/391780?folderId=6955752

It would be neat to have capability to see where wines are from in a map to help inform regional taste profiles

Cellar Chat deletes chat history after a 30-second conversation... I have to re-explain my request after having left the app even temporarily...

When searching for wine within any given category and sorting by score, it would be extremely helpful to set a minimum vote filter. This way, the wines with 1-2 votes and scores way too high can be filtered out. In general, scores are more statistically accurate with more votes.
