## What is Cherries?

Know what your classic is really worth.

Cherries values enthusiast and collector cars from real, recent auction sold results and live dealer listings — and shows its work. No vague "book value": every estimate comes with a confidence level, a price range, and the exact comps behind it.

Value any car, free. Search a make and model or paste a VIN — or, on Plus, point your camera at a VIN, plate, or title from anywhere in the app. Get an instant estimate with a condition breakdown (Concours to Project), the market trend, and a build sheet decoded from the VIN. Ask Cherries AI to explain any number in plain English.

Track your garage. Add your cars, log service and ownership history, and watch your collection's value move over time — with cost basis, each car's contribution to your gain, and a garage view that treats your cars with the respect they deserve. Your car's factory build sheet lives right on its page: the original window sticker, every factory option with its code and price, specs and safety ratings.

Every car gets its story. The Car Story is a timeline per car — the day you bought it, service entries, photos, wrench days, road stories and milestones, in one chronological record. Post kinds built for car people, with starting templates so you're never staring at an empty box.

Stay ahead of the wrenching. Model-aware service schedules tell you what's due and when. Log the work in a proper sheet, tie it to the schedule item it completes, and the history stays with the car.

Watch the market. Follow the models you're chasing and browse live enthusiast auctions — what's bidding now, with ticking countdowns, and what just sold — without leaving the app. On Plus and Pro, market movers rank the models drawing the most attention, with the evidence behind every move, and price alerts arrive by push and email. Know a sale we're missing? Report it — reviewed submissions join the market record, credited as user-reported.

The Paddock — a community that actually knows cars. Model-specific rooms, a real feed with replies and notifications, photos and videos that open full screen, and events worth driving to. Make your profile yours: display name, bio, links, and a featured car from your garage. Share garage milestones if you like — prices always stay private.

Built for provenance. Generate a shareable Cherries Report, a Certified Cherry valuation, your car's factory build sheet as a PDF, or an insurance-ready vehicle report for a listing, an insurer, or a buyer.

Private by design. Optional app lock: require Face ID or your device passcode before Cherries opens.

Free to value cars and build your garage. Plus ($6.99/mo) and Pro ($17.99/mo) add price history, market alerts, market movers, camera capture, a larger watchlist and garage, full VIN build sheets, and more frequent re-valuations. Subscriptions are billed to your App Store account and renew automatically until canceled.

Cherries values are estimates for information only, not appraisals or investment advice.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-25

Your cars, told as a story — and the app is easier to live with.

THE CAR STORY
• Every car now has a timeline: your posts, service entries, photos and the day you bought it, in one chronological story
• Post kinds built for car people — build journal, wrench day, road story, spotted, milestone — several with a starting template so you're not staring at an empty box
• Discover search actually searches: collectors, communities and posts

YOUR GARAGE
• Your car's factory build sheet, stored with the car — the original window sticker, every factory option with its code and price, specs and safety ratings — plus a Pro PDF export in the same document style as the insurance report
• Scan a VIN with the camera from anywhere in the app, not just Add Vehicle
• Contribution to your gain: every car ranked by its share of your collection's value change
• Log a service in a proper sheet, and tie it to the schedule item it completes
• Garage and insurance PDFs now genuinely save to your phone — they open the iOS share sheet instead of silently doing nothing

HOME
• Home is about your cars now, not other people's — what changed, what moved
• New alerts and messages announce themselves as they arrive
• Live auction countdowns tick, screens pull to refresh, and numbers flash when they change

PROFILES
• Edit your profile: display name, username, bio, links — and pick a car from your garage to feature
• Garage cards on profiles are tidier — no more empty photo placeholders for cars without pictures

MARKET
• Report a sale we're missing and it actually goes somewhere: submissions are reviewed and, once approved, join the market record credited as user-reported — and you can see your own reports' status right on the card
• Market movers speak in moves now — the percentage and the evidence behind it, on the board and in the drill-down alike — and mover cards now show the model years actually at auction ("mostly 2008s")
• Watchlist cards on dealer-priced cars show what's listed right now in the spec being watched, instead of auction results from other trims

RESEARCH & ASK
• Redesigned Ask screen, shaped like a chat app: starters and commands live in a quick tray above the message box — and mid-conversation, behind the + beside it
• Every "Ask Cherries AI" button now actually opens Ask, even from inside an open sheet
• Research leads with your own cars: your garage and watchlist are one-tap lookups

SECURITY
• Optional app lock: require Face ID (or your device passcode) before Cherries opens. It guards the app on an unlocked phone — it is not a password on your account, and you stay signed in either way

DESIGN
• One consistent look for every tab strip, filter, chip, switcher and close button in the app, in the same style as the bottom navigation bar — and every on/off switch now shows "on" in gold
• Sheets no longer throw the keyboard over their own controls when they open

Plus a fix for a checkout link that could land on a "page not found", bigger tap targets on the controls that were under Apple's minimum, and a long list of smaller repairs.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-16

The Paddock grows up — and your garage gets a camera.

THE PADDOCK
• Tap any photo or video in a post to view it full screen — swipe between shots, videos play right in the app
• Notifications: know when someone likes your post, replies, or follows you
• Reply threads on comments, a Liked list so you can find your way back, and links that go straight to a post
• Optionally share garage milestones with the community — your call, and never with prices

AUCTIONS
• New Results tab: what just hammered, updated live
• Rebuilt filters that use native iOS pickers — and actually filter

YOUR GARAGE
• Scan a VIN with your camera to add a car
• Redesigned Edit Vehicle, Service, and Settings screens — sectioned, phone-first, native pickers throughout
• The insurance report got a new form and a document-grade PDF

MARKET
• Market Movers rebuilt: every move now says why, with cleaner rows and tap-through to the cars
• Watchlist values appear the moment you land, with honest trend spans

Plus: bigger touch targets everywhere, refreshed typography, quieter animations, alerts you can set right from a car's page, and dozens of fixes. Removed the podcast tab.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-12

No release notes.
