Fixed store reliability scores, cleaner launch screen, smoother retailer dashboard, and assorted polish across the app.

First-run guide to help you get started, clearer empty screens, in-app help and a bourbon glossary, plus retailer tools and reliability fixes.

Build 60 — biggest update yet. Please hammer these: - Retailer dashboard: log a bottle in stock, toggle "open for tasting," mark sold out. Earlier crash on bottle-select is fixed — confirm it holds. New: tier badge shows on the bottle you pick before logging. - Navigation: back buttons everywhere should work now (no black screens). New X-button to close the spot-logging sheet. - First-run intro carousel + in-app help (? icons on main screens) + glossary under Settings. New users will see these — tell me if anything reads wrong. - Empty states: fresh account should see helpful prompts on My Bar, Wishlist, Hunt, and Palate tabs instead of blank screens. Try to break it. Anything weird, screenshot + tell me.

Reliability & polish update. - AI features restored and faster - Cross-device photo sync improvements - Bar Scan handles large images more reliably - Hunt spots can now be confirmed by other users - Cleaner bottle data across the database - Crash fixes and behind-the-scenes reliability improvements Thanks for testing. Bug reports welcome via the in-app feedback option.

Smarter Bar Scan, fewer mistakes: - When the AI is uncertain about a bottle, we'll tell you upfront — look for the "AI uncertain" tag on review tiles so you can double-check before adding - Honest matching: if our AI can't confidently identify a bottle, we won't pretend to. Goes straight to review with the raw label info we read - Refined AI instructions to reduce confident-but-wrong identifications Bigger bottle database: - 17 new bottles added including Booker's Phantom Pipes 2025-04, Boone County Amburana, Cream of Kentucky, Heaven's Door Revival, Jameson Black Barrel, New Riff 8 Year, Skrewball, Traveller, Whiskey War Barrel Proof, WhistlePig FarmStock and more - Now tracking 7,159 bottles total - Penelope Toast proof corrected to 100 Stability & polish: - 23 new tests for scan accuracy - Backend pipeline improvements Thanks to Brock, Darin, Chris, and David for the feedback that drove this release.

Build 55 — PALATE 001-010 - PALATE Founder badge system — first 10 contributors get numbered founder badges - Shows on Profile + share card - Reserved numbers retire with the holder

Build 54 — better bottle management - Quantity field — track multiples of the same bottle - My Bar "Store Picks" filter chip - Editable Store Pick + Open for Tasting toggles on existing bottles - Fill-level slider now appears when adding an Open bottle (no more save-then-edit) - Search bar "x" clear button now properly clears the typed text

What's new: - Bar Scan: New "Best Guess" mode — when we can't identify the exact bottle, you'll see a clear yellow indicator and lower confidence instead of a misleadingly confident match. - Bar Scan: Tap "Search manually" on any wrong match to find the right bottle. Every correction helps the matcher learn. - Notes: Add free-text notes to any bottle in your bar — barrel numbers for store picks, where you found it, gift stories, whatever you want to remember. - Database: 7,142 bottles now (+68), including Johnnie Walker, Glenmorangie, Talisker, Ballantine's, Aberlour, Glendronach, and other major missing brands. - Database: Real proof values for 19 BTAC entries (George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Eagle Rare 17) replacing placeholders. - Privacy + reliability: Stronger auth boundaries on submissions and corrections; Sim noise no longer pollutes crash analytics. - Bug fixes: Soft-deleted Hunt spots no longer appear on discovery screens; map shows real spots instead of fallback seeds. Thanks to our beta testers — especially the Pittsburgh / Western PA crew — for the feedback that shaped this release.

Bug fixes and improvements: - No duplicate Hunt submissions in low-signal areas - Delete your own Hunt spots - Improved Bar Scan accuracy + new-bottle flow - Fixed stale spots on discovery screens - Readable confirmation messages throughout the app - Stability and crash fixes Thanks to our beta testers.

Build 50 — critical crash fix Fixes a crash on app launch that was affecting users who opened Build 49. Store seeding logic was hitting a permission check and not recovering gracefully. Now properly gated and hardened. Also hardens Remote Config initialization — the app now boots cleanly even if the Remote Config service is unreachable. No new features in this build. Pure stability patch on top of 1.0.4.

- New US map on the Hunt Is Live screen with accurate state outlines - Smoother onboarding — Start Hunting and Skip now advance reliably - Confirm-password field on signup prevents typo lockouts - Compact My Bar layout — your bottles show above the fold - Daily pairing suggestions refresh at midnight - Paywall and store-name cleanup
