Whisky Guru

v1.3.1 April 2026 Latest

↻Fixed: "Who said Slàinte?" — The likes dialog was always showing empty due to a query error. Fixed.
↻Fixed: manual check-in flow — Adding a custom bottle no longer jumps to the check-in screen on every keystroke. A brand is now required, and a dedicated "Proceed to check-in" button controls when you move forward.
↻Fixed: check-in update — Clearing the tasting note on an existing check-in no longer returns a validation error.
↻Fixed: error messages — Validation errors from the server are now correctly shown instead of crashing silently.
