How do I find and follow other users?

There are several ways to find and interact with other users.

  • Search - from the home screen, click on the search bar and make sure you're on the 'Users' tab (the other tab is to search through your collection of bottles).  Once there, you can type in any name or username you want and select the user(s) you were looking for from the results on the screen.  If you just want to find other users to follow, you can check out the Advanced User Search feature that lets you search for users with a certain number of bottles or followers.  For instance ' Show me users with more than 10 followers."  You can also add parameters to your search to add even more specificity to your search.  For instance: 'Show me users with more than 10 bottles and that have more than 5 [bottles] of Macallan.'

  • Followers/Following - to see who is following you and control who you are following, simply click on the menu at the top left of the home screen and select 'Profile.' Once in your profile, clicking on 'Followers' of 'Following' will show you the users that are following you and that you are following.  Once someone is following you, click on their profile in your 'Followers' screen and give them a follow back!

  • Top Trovers - On the bottom right corner of the home screen, you'll see 'Activity.'  Click on the 'Activity' icon and you'll see the 'Top Trovers' screen.  These are the top 20 WhiskeyTrove users by bottle count.  You can click on their profile and follow them.

How do I add a bottle to my collection?

Adding a bottle is easy!  Just click on "Add Bottle" on the home screen.  You will then have 2 options:

  • Scan Bottle UPC Code - WhiskeyTrove will use your phone's camera to scan the UPC code of your bottle.  If your bottle information is found (it usually is!), WhiskeyTrove will populate an image of the bottle, the brand and the name of the particular whiskey type.  Then you select the 'Type' of whiskey you are adding.  While you are welcome to scroll down and hit 'save' to add the bottle to your collection, you can also add more bottle details to enhance your experience.  These include barrel type, tasting notes, how you enjoy this particular whiskey and more.

  • Add Bottle Manually - If the UPC code scan does not work, or you do not have access to the UPC code, you can easily enter the bottle's information Manually.

How do I access my collection?

When you first registered for WhiskeyTrove, you set up your Collection.  Your collection is where you store and organize all of your bottles. There are several ways to access your collection:

  • Home Screen - Your collection appears prominently on the home screen.  You can use your finger to scroll across the shelves in your collection (more on shelves in a minute!). Each shelf icon has a number at the top right-hand corner to let you know how many individual bottles are on each shelf.  You can click on any of your shelves to see the bottles on each shelf.  Further clicking on each bottle brings up the Bottle Details for that particular bottle. Clicking on 'View All' brings up a view of all shelves in your collection. 

  • Menu - You can also access your collection through the menu (located at the top left-hand corner of the home screen).  Selecting "Collection" will direct you to your collection.

How do I customize and organize my collection?

WhiskeyTrove was designed to replicate the fun of organizing and displaying your collection, just as you would in your own home bar.  To that end, there are several ways to customize and organize your collection.

  • Customizing your collection - When you registered for WhiskeyTrove, you were asked to set up your collection. Don't worry if you want to make changes, because doing so is easy! Simply access your collection as outlined above, and click on the edit icon at the top right of the screen.  From here you can:

    • Change the image/icon for your collection

    • Change the name of your collection​

    • Organize your shelves by:

      • Renaming them​

      • Deleting shelves you no longer want

      • Selecting whether you want the shelf icons displayed within your collection to be a bottle image (this will be the bottle at the top left hand side of the shelf screen) or text displaying the name of the shelf

      • Add shelves to your collection

Don't forget to hit 'Save' to finalize your changes!​

Once you're done making your changes, there's further customization available.  

  • On your collection screen, hold and drag your shelves into the order you want them displayed on the home screen (with the order starting at the top left icon)

  • Within each shelf, hold and drag your bottles into the order in which you want them displayed.  Remember, the top left bottle will be the one used for the shelf icon. 

  • Within each shelf, you can also sort bottles alphabetically or in date order by clicking the icon on the top right-hand side of the screen.
