Thank you for the feedback. Here is what it changed

Thank you

The last few weeks brought a lot of new members to Cellarion, and with them a lot of feedback: support tickets, posts in the Community forum, and notes sent with the Give feedback button on the features in early access. Some of it was one line. Some of it was a page long, with screenshots or a link to the exact wine fridge. All of it was useful, and most of it is already live.

Between 10 and 13 October we shipped eleven releases, 1.255 to 1.265. Almost every change in them started with something one of you wrote. We don't name anyone here, but you know who you are. Thank you.

The preview channel was your idea

Early access, the switch under Settings → Early access that shows you larger changes before everyone else, exists because a member asked for it. It opened on 10 October, and in three days the feedback from it has already reshaped the features in it. This is what is in early access now:

• One page for each wine and vintage. Testers have already reshaped it: less in the way at the top, your bottles summed up in one line, every other vintage one tap away. New this week: fold any section or card down to its title, and the page remembers what you folded on every device you sign in on.
• Move bottles to another rack. When you replace a rack with a wine fridge, all its bottles move across in one go and keep their order.
• Bottles head to tail in a wine cabinet, base forward and neck forward in turn.
• Bottles lying sideways. For each shelf of a wine cabinet: one bottle across the front of the others, as in many slim fridges, or every bottle across, like a bottom bin. A ready-made shape for the Kingsbottle Atelier Duo comes with it.

Some of these will go live for everyone soon. Once a feature has settled with the testers, it leaves early access and reaches every member, and whoever sent feedback on it gets a thank-you in the app. If you would rather not wait, turn early access on now.

Nothing is stored differently in early access, so you can turn it off at any time and keep everything you entered. How early access works.

What else your feedback changed

Your cellar list and your ratings

• Show on cards. Choose what appears under each wine in your list: your rating, the price, bottle size, region or purchase date.
• Ratings in your own scale (stars, /20 or points) in the analytics table and dashboards, including averages, filters and the CSV export.
• Every rating counts on the Analytics page, also the ones you give when you finish a bottle.

Mistakes, imports and racks

• Delete several bottles at once with Select → Delete. Undo is right there, and deleted bottles wait 30 days in Recently deleted.
• Imports read your price column under many more names, in English, Swedish, French and German, and tell you when they found a price column they could not read.
• Rename a rack from every view, including the 3D view of a wine cabinet.

Photos, the camera and the look

• The camera focuses. On some Android phones it never came into focus, so barcodes could not be read and labels came out soft. Now it asks for autofocus, finds a lens that can focus up close, and you can tap to focus.
• A drawn bottle for wines without a photo, in the wine's colour, with the producer, the name and the vintage on its label, instead of a flat block of colour.
• A proper home-screen icon on iPhone and Android.

Support and the wine registry

• Close your own support tickets once your question is answered.
• Star grades are kept apart. Some producers grade an Auslese with one to three stars, and each grade is a different wine. A member's import showed us that Cellarion treated them as one. Now it doesn't.

Coming in the next update

The drink window reads end to end. When a wine's early years and its best years overlap, only one phase is marked as now, the same one its status names, and a phase of a single year reads as that year.

Keep it coming

Three ways to tell us something:

• the Give feedback button on any feature in early access;
• Support for a bug or a question, answered in the app and by email unless you turned that off;
• the Community forum for ideas, where other members can join in.

We read every message. Not everything can be built at once, and some things take longer than a day, but a lot of what Cellarion is today started as a line from one of you. Thank you.
