We've been squirelling away on our app to get a big new released out in time for you all at Christmas! It should be live on the app stores already but if not heres the update we just released on Android and iOS:

Theres a lot in this new release (2.70) and also sets us up nicely to advance the app in new ways moving forward. We're loving creating the best cocktail app out there. More coming soon!!

We've made a couple of small tweaks in all our menus. Alcohol percentages are now rounded, no-one needs to know there 15.83% of alcohol, no one pours that accurately :) On the web version of the menu the cocktails are now links to the actual cocktails themselves (they load up in a new window) so people can see a little more about each one.

We've also added onto our roadmap - bartenders version, so you can include the method, the amounts etc. Its coming ...

We've found a day to update our app for both Android and iOS. This was quite a big update as we had quite a few things we wanted to change:

Phew, take a breath before the weekend ..... now update that app, shake like you're a real bartender, and get making. Enjoy everyone!

Its been at least a week since I updated our changelog, and apologies as we've done so much. We've updated our app with 5 new versions with a host of small to large changes, along with a host of bug fixes as they come in! Thanks to everyone who's reported anything.

On the web front we've rolled out a slightly tighter spam bot registration protection, changed the ordering of level up posts to be on published date (we had it by created date before, which sometimes threw it out), we've got a new 'cluster' view on level up posts for posts within the same category / cluster, we've fixed a host of bugs and edge case issues that either bots were throwing up by trying to break the site, or users randomly found, posts now have a slightly better look for tables and more.

Behind the scenes we're now running a new backup solution for better security and protection of your data, we've removed some old servers that were helping with the old app, and done some tidying up!

Phew, its been a fun ride this past week. Now onto ensuring we get more great content out and more features that people have asked for. Especially on the app front!

Cheers all

We've just launched out Black Friday amazing deal on our site. We've got 50% off all our subscriptions for a week, massive savings all round. We've been so busy recently on our site and our apps, and we just keep on finding more things to do! Loving it!

Yes, you read that title right. We've just launched our new app over on Android, meaning it's not available to both Android and iOS users. It uses a common code base so we can now update both apps together keeping them inline, and offer the best-in-class cocktail experience to both platforms. We've got some big plans for the app over the coming months!

This of course doesn't mean we aren't still actively working on our website, and we've been busy putting together a new thanksgiving list.

Now we got over all the excitedness in launching our new app, we found time to update the app page on our site. Beautiful scenes here over at MMAC HQ.

Phew, after literally months of testing, tweaking, redeveloping and just trying to ensure v2 of our beautiful little app is perfect for you all, we've done a silent little iOS launch today! If you're on an iOS device you can find it here: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/make-me-a-cocktail/id1541820377

Android is coming soon!

We're gonna leave this one settle in a bit, keep an eye on the logs, how its used, gather some feedback from the wild, then tweak and bug fix anything that crops up. Once thats all done we'll get the Android version out for you. We're hoping we get it out before Christmas, so watch this space!

A little bit out there but we added our tech stack to be made public. Not really an update but its nice to be transparent on things.

We also added some sections to our uptime monitor to better represent areas of operation that could go down separately.

We created our amazing Cocktail Creator a good 6-7 months ago (at least), and have refined it since then with new themes, the options of styles, and refined AI stuff to make it even more powerful. We also opened it up to allow non-registered members to use it to a certain degree (read - 2 times).

But it was always nagging us that the page didn't quite 'sell' itself when you first hit it. New users could have been confused or not really understood what it was about (and it lacked a heap of SEO that could help). So yesterday we fixed that and just gave it a bit of TLC when you first opened it up. Better heading structure, more explanatory text, and some subtle iconography to help users. We love the new look, and don't think its distracted from the usability at all. Go us
