WithWine app - New version now available for download

Shared by WithWine • May 08, 2024

Hi there,

WithWine was born in 2014 because Richard had a vision for making it easier, more compelling, and more enjoyable for more people to buy more wine, more often, direct from wineries.

In Jan 2015 we released our first product, the WithWine app. It was iOS only and had its limitations but you told us we were onto something (If we did X, Y & Z).

From 2016 to 2021 we completed X, Y and Z. In 2022 we decided it was time to get to work on the original vision so we got started on v2 of the WithWine app and released it in November. This time around it supported both Apple and Android, Wine Clubs, emails, push notifications and even Apple Wallet. We were really proud of it... until we decided it needed to be better.

So we scrapped the entire codebase and started from scratch.

Today, we uploaded the new version to both the Apple and Android app stores. And we're so proud of it.

It's prettier, quicker, and... better.

We've always worked on the thesis that if we make wine easier (and more pleasurable) to buy direct from wineries, we'll be making it easier for you to sell direct.

There are no annoying "loading" spinners - it's super zippy! We received feedback that we needed to lean more heavily into imagery - so we made the winery profile feature a full screen image splash back rather than a tiled background image. Wine lists/flights are displayed beautifully on your Brand's profile screens. Everyone's shop page has text search. The Updates tab has been re-designed and delivers your email content (with push notifications but without Spam and Promotion filters getting in the way) to app users beautifully. When you do a club run, the customer's History tab is populated with the wines that are on route, with "Buy More" buttons at the ready. Customer credit balances load up seamlessly and automatically. Oh... and the login screen is cleaner and easier to use.

We could go on.

Anyways, it's up on the App Stores and available for your customers. We love it. We hope you do too.
