Multiple Rating Scales and half points

March 30th, 2008

We’ve supported 4 different rating scales (5 stars, 10 points, 20 points or 100 points) since we launched. One of our top requested features was the ability to rate wines using half-points. We finally implemented this.

Adegga multiple rating scales

We’re now working on allowing you to read ratings in scale you like (and not just rate). For now you can safely rate your almost perfect wine with 19.5 (or 4.5 or 9.5 or 95).

Set your default scale
To make it easier to rate a wine, you can also now choose a default rating scale in your settings. For example, if you choose the 20 points scale then all the places where you can rate will display this scale by default.

New Tasting Note Page

March 30th, 2008

We’ve redesigned the tasting note page and it’s now easy to manage your notes.

We only show 2 fields by default (rating and note) and all extra information (tags, food pairing and tasting date) is hidden by default to make the interface more simple to use.

Wine actions
We’ve also simplified actions on a wine page so that list actions (add to cellar, add to tasted and add to wishlist) are clearly split from the rating actions (rate and write a note).

We’ve been making little interface improvements when whenever we discover a problem. If there’s a features or an interface problem that is bugging you while using Adegga, let us know so that we can fix it.

New: Private Messages

March 28th, 2008

We’ve been working hard on getting a bunch of new features ready for launch (and that’s why we’ve been so silent). We’ll be rolling out this new features (and some updates) in the next couple of weeks.

To start we’ve launched today a new way to communicate on Adegga: Private Messages.

Private Messaging

Sending a new message is very easy. You can contact anyone directly from their profile page or you can compose a new message from your account.
