Original release notes

Snap a photo of a cocktail menu and the drink comes back as a recipe. That is Recipe Import, and it takes a link or a video just as happily: ingredients and steps come back sorted, for you to approve before anything posts. We do the typing. The drink stays yours, in your words and under your name. The menu you photographed in June is a cocktail you can pour in January.

Featured Products puts a shelf on the homepage for the bottles behind the recipes you love, restocked regularly. When a drink calls for something that is not on your counter, the bottle is a tap away instead of a note to yourself.

Hundreds of new drinks have landed since our last update, including a whole non-alcoholic section worth pouring from, and search now reaches every one of them. Recipes that sat in the app without ever turning up in a search will turn up now.

The non-alcoholic section now holds all 855 of them, and only them. A few alcoholic drinks had been slipping into a list that exists to keep them out. Searching a drink with an ampersand in its name, a Gin & Tonic among them, used to come back empty and comes back full now. The category labels on a recipe match the ones you browsed to get there.

Everything moves better than it did. Your saved cocktails and every creator profile lead with their best drinks, the homepage no longer shows you the same recipes twice, and opening a category and scrolling no longer asks your phone to hold the whole bar at once, which older phones will feel most.

The cocktail categories load on the home screen again. They moved to a new address and older versions could not follow them there, so that row came up empty. This one knows where to look.

A recipe that features a brand we partner with now says so, on the recipe itself. Every shopping link confirms you are of age before it opens, and signing up is safer, because the password you confirm is the one you get.

Sign in with Apple goes straight through, skipping the name screen, and signing back in got calmer, with no red text before you have typed anything. Shopping links credit the creator whose recipe sent you there more reliably, and editing a recipe keeps every detail you added.

Smaller text throughout is darker and easier to read in daylight, and creator names sit whole in your search results.

A card on first launch catches you up on all of it, then lives on under Profile, What's New.
