Around 4-5 days ago we noticed that some of our lifetime subscribers were being downgraded in our app when logging in. We could easily upgrade them again, but on every login it would downgrade again. We investigated and pushed up a real quick fix in 3.16 (launched 3 days ago). However, a day later we noticed that we had only half fixed the problem, and hadn't caught the whole issue.
Well we took a breath, fixed this properly (hopefully) but also took the opportunity to release a host of features we'd been working on. So along with a premium subscriber issue we also released this absolute banger of a list of features and updates into the app for you all:
Custom Lists
Our website has had them for a long time, but how to properly integrate them into our app took some finessing and love. But we finally figured it out and delivered this beautiful feature for you all. Custom lists, privacy options, cocktail adding and removal, all integrated. This one has been asked by you all for a while, and now its there!
Tasting notes upgraded
Tasting notes have, for a long time, been present but not properly surfaced or searchable. We've fixed this and put some love into it all. You now have a dedicated page for all tasting notes, we've given you the ability to delete a tasting note (how was that missing), and also added a little number pil to show how many you have if you've added one / some. Nice!
Cocktail imagery
We added the ability to add photos into cocktail comments a couple of months ago, but we've enhanced this feature so that you can now add a photo directly from the cocktail itself (without the need of a comment). We've surfaced these, and any comment photos, directly on that thumbnail section.
Search upgraded
Power searches (for premium members) are just so cool, but some of you were asking about surfacing your old searches, and if you go back, you cant find it again. We've fixed that now so you can view your old searches and results, instantly loading up the relevant data.
We also took the time to give a little love to our common search, with some loading indicators and more so the page didn't jar as much, and delivered a smoother experience.
Finally, we changed our app icons to remove the Christmas hat and added a nicer loading screen animation when you first load up the app. Fun times!
With all this stuff we're always tweaking and changing as we get feedback, and once the features settle a little. But for now, get the new update and enjoy the beautiful app experience! We always welcome any feedback!
