Product updates

What changed in WineGate, release by release. The web app updates the same day; the iOS and Android apps follow after review.

  1. Every auction in view, one-email invitations

    Ending soon now shows every running auction, and inviting a company takes one email.

    • Camera — A single scan frame for label autofill
