Sorry it’s been so long since we’ve issued an update. We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, and a fairly major update is nearing completion. We’ll be greatly improving the usability of the settings page… and adding the long awaited UPC barcode scanning functionality (for devices with cameras).
There are a few caveats there, and during this process we’ve learned quite a bit about bar codes and the role they play in wine distribution. The short version is: don’t expect to be able to scan highly unusual wines or very small producers. Many of them don’t use UPC codes at all, and the ones that do often reuse a single code for each vintage of a wine. Still, it’s better than nothing, and it’ll probably only get better with time.
Anyways, we’re deep in testing but should be wrapping up in the near future. I’ll post a little more when we submit it to Apple.

Bar code function would be great! I noted that RedLaser site mentioned cor.kz and I hope this can happen soon. I use CellarTracker a lot, bought cor.kz but never use it. Barcode capability would change that.
Will this function integrate with CellarTracker’s label printing? Also, is there an ETA?
