Added support for upcoming tvOS release. 1.32 12/10/2025 What’s New in 1.31

Region-aware catalog – You can now tag bottles with curated region lists tailored to each spirit or whiskey subtype. The new Region Picker appears anywhere you edit a whiskey (entry, edit, detail, search filters), so it’s easy to track Kentucky bourbons, Highland scotches, or Mezcal regions without typing every time.

Collection image self-healing – The app now detects broken or missing collection cover images, re-uploads them from the copies on your device, and refreshes the UI immediately. Collection grids, tabs, and detail views always load cached photos first and quietly fall back to Firebase only when necessary.

Faster, cleaner search – Feed/search results deduplicate thumbnails, debounce updates, and keep cached images in sync while the new region metadata is captured, so scrolling your library stays smooth even with large inventories.

Entry form safeguard – When starting a new bottle, the “Spirit Type” and “Whiskey Type” fields automatically reapply your defaults so flavor profiles, filters, and the new Region Picker never start blank.

Enjoy a more resilient, geographically rich WhiskeyMate! 1.31 12/04/2025 Version 1.30 adds 4 new and optional fields to the Bottle Entry view to capture Distillery Name, Distillery Number, Master Distiller, and a Single Barrel indicator.
