Help with The Whiskey Club whiskey & spirits collection app.
Tap + Add Bottle to catalog a bottle by hand, or use Scan Barcode on the Add Bottle screen to look up a product automatically. Barcode lookups are best-effort: if nothing is found, just fill the details in manually.
How do I back up my collection?
Go to Settings → Backup & Restore → Export Backup. This creates a single file containing your whole collection, photos included, that you can save anywhere: Files, email, AirDrop, a cloud drive. Use Import Backup on any device to restore it.
Does The Whiskey Club sync between devices?
Not automatically. Everything is stored locally on your device. Use the export and import backup feature to move your collection to a new phone.
Can I get my collection into a spreadsheet?
Yes: Settings → Export to Spreadsheet produces a CSV file for Numbers, Excel, or Google Sheets. It's a one-way export for viewing and sorting: it doesn't include photos and can't be imported back in. Use a backup file for that.
Can I change the app's light/dark appearance?
Yes: Settings → Appearance lets you pin The Whiskey Club to Light or Dark regardless of your phone's system setting, or leave it on System to follow it automatically.
What's Procurements?
Your shopping list. Tap the badge on any bottle, in the catalog or on its detail screen, to add or remove it.
What's in The Ledger?
Bottles on hand, catalog entries, average rating, and the total value of your collection based on what you paid, broken down by type and by status.
Can I catalog spirits other than whiskey?
Yes. Everything works the same for any bottle: the Type field just won't have a specific category for it, so it'll land under "Other."
Why does the barcode scanner miss some bottles?
The lookup depends on public product databases, and smaller or independent distilleries often aren't in them. When there's no match the barcode is still attached to the bottle; you just fill in the name and brand yourself.
