1.1.3 is a bug fix release focused on making the refreshed Sip experience more reliable. This update improves wine search, enrichment, prediction, journal persistence, and profile summaries, with smaller fixes across bottle details and App Store assets.

1.1.2 makes Sip much sharper once you’ve rated a few wines. Tastes now gives clearer summaries, better structure preferences, and stronger favourite and least favourite grape signals, so it’s easier to see what actually suits you. This update also makes bottle handling more reliable. Add Wine now has better barcode and bottle matching feedback, richer wine detail cards, and a manual wine-link fallback when search doesn’t find the right bottle straight away. You’ll also see improved region mapping, more reliable sync behaviour, refreshed screenshots, and a new app icon.

1.1.1 sharpens Sip after the Predict launch with clearer Profile confidence and post-rating feedback, smoother barcode matching and save flows in Add Wine, and better prediction and search detail throughout the app. This update also refines sweetness and oak handling in your taste profile, fixes clipped favourite-grape pills on Profile, and refreshes the latest App Store screenshots.

1.1 adds Predict so you can search, scan barcodes, photograph bottles, and scan wine lists to see how well a wine matches your taste. This update also adds barcode and bottle search to Add Wine, and makes your Profile summary and structure preferences more reliable and easier to understand.

This update fixes a bug in the Add Wine search and makes your Taste Summary in Profile more reliable
