## What is Cola Compass?

Wonder which cola brand a venue serves before you go? Cola Compass shows you, based on reports from a community of fellow soda fans.

• Browse the map. See nearby venues with brand-colored pins indicating which cola brand each place serves.
• Search anything. Look up community-reported places or search Apple Maps for venues that haven't been reported yet.
• Filter by brand and category. Restaurants, bars, theaters, cafes — see which serve the brand you care about.
• Add a report. Tap any venue on the map, or search for one, and tell the community what they pour. Attach a photo of the cup or fountain if you like.
• Community-powered. Anyone can contribute. Flag content that breaks the rules or block contributors you don't want to see.
• Your data, your control. Manage, export, or delete every report you've submitted from a dedicated Your Data screen.

Works with iOS:
• Add the Home Screen widget for a glance at what soda's nearby.
• Ask Siri "What soda is nearby?" or "Log a Coca-Cola sighting at Joe's Pizza."
• Find Cola Compass venues directly from Spotlight search.
• Build automations with the Shortcuts app or the iPhone Action Button.
• Sign in with Apple to keep your contribution history across devices.

For soda enthusiasts:
• Per-variant ratings — Diet Coke might be rated differently than regular at the same venue.
• Shift variance — see if a venue pours Coke during lunch and Pepsi during dinner.
• Auto-translate venue names from any language to yours.
• Personal map of every venue you've contributed to, with first-discoveries highlighted.
• Earn milestone badges and pick a title to display on your reports.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-13*

No more asking, “Is Pepsi okay?” Cola Compass tells me before I even get there. Simple, accurate, and surprisingly useful. Five stars from a very particular soda drinker. 🥤

### 5/5 — “Is Pepsi okay?”

*2026-06-10*

For anyone who has ever died a little bit inside when a server informs them they don't carry their preferred soda brand, Cola Compass is the app you didn’t know you needed, but won't be able to live without.

### 5/5 — Know before you go!

*2026-06-07*

Is it wrong that I judge a restaurant entirely based on their cola options?? Love this app!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-07-29

Explore the community.

Tap any contributor's handle to see who they are — their bio, the venues they've reported on, the badges they've earned. Every report byline is now a shortcut into the story behind the data.

Fresh reports count more.

The community verdict at each venue now weights recent reports more heavily than older ones. A single fresh report can outweigh a stale majority. Old reports don't disappear — they just fade. Toggle "Recent reports only" to hide anything over a year old.

Brand heatmap.

Switch the Nearby map from pins to a smooth density gradient showing which brand dominates each neighborhood. Coca-Cola pockets glow red, Pepsi corners blue, and so on. Zoom out for the big picture; zoom in for the block-by-block breakdown.

Share a venue and it shows the reports.

Send someone a venue link and they'll now see the actual community reports on the web — brand, variant, rating, notes, dates. Contributor names and photos stay in-app only. Nice for talking someone into installing.

One-tap driving directions.

New car button in the venue toolbar. Straight to Apple Maps in driving-directions mode.

Merge duplicates as you go.

When you start reporting on a venue that's close to another one with a similar name, we now offer to combine your report into the existing venue instead of creating a duplicate. Data quality gets better as more people use the app.

Appeal a flagged report.

If your report gets flagged and hidden, you can now file an appeal explaining why it was legitimate. Moderator reviews it, and approved appeals restore the report to visibility.

Requires iOS 18 or later.

### 1.5 — 2026-07-26

Photos on reports.

Attach a photo when you log a beverage — show the actual cup or fountain, not just the brand name. Photos get screened for objectionable content before you can submit, and can be flagged by the community if something slips through.

Share a place.

Every venue has a share button that sends a link. Friends without the app land on a lightweight welcome page. Friends with the app open the venue directly.

Edit or remove a place you added.

Fix a typo, correct the category, or move the pin. Or remove the venue entirely if it closed. The place's original contributor gets an edit menu on the detail screen — everyone else's contributions stay intact.

Delete your account.

A new "Delete my account" option in More → Your data. Two-step confirmation with type-to-confirm. Removes your contributor profile and every device link, without touching reports the community relies on.

Behind the scenes.

Added crash and error reporting so we notice things faster. Server-side switches for known issues let us post a banner without shipping a new build. Same privacy posture — anonymous, diagnostics only, not linked to you.

Requires iOS 18 or later.

### 1.4 — 2026-07-02

A lot of new ways to use Cola Compass.

Report multiple beverages at one venue.

Some places pour Coke at the fountain and Dr Pepper in the cooler. Each is now its own report. Add as many beverages as the venue serves in a single submit, and edit any of them later — your observations stay distinct, votable, and verifiable.

See who first added a place.

Every venue's detail screen now credits the contributor who put it on the map — small recognition for the people who keep the data growing. Earn milestone badges for your own reports, venues added, and helpful votes received from other contributors.

Pick a title.

Earn a title from a badge and display it next to your handle on reports and first-discoveries. Cartographer, Veteran, Helpful Voice, and more — pick one (or none) from your display name editor.

Sign in with Apple, optionally.

Link your Apple ID once and Cola Compass remembers your contributions across devices. Sign out of iCloud, switch phones, reinstall — your reports follow you. Revoke the link anytime; your reports stay yours.

A Home Screen widget.

Add the "Nearby Soda" widget in small or medium sizes. Glance at what's around without opening the app.

Siri and Shortcuts.

"Hey Siri, log a Coca-Cola sighting at Joe's Pizza." Or "What soda is nearby?" Or "My Cola Compass stats." Build automations in Shortcuts that open straight to a place. The iPhone Action Button works too.

Spotlight search.

Type a venue name in iOS Spotlight and Cola Compass results show up inline with the brand they pour. Tap to jump straight in.

Place names in your language.

Venues added in another language now auto-translate to yours on the detail screen, with the original shown right below. No more guessing what 麦当劳 is.

More filter control.

Tap multiple brands in the filter row to combine them — Coke and Dr Pepper at the same time, for example. A new banner above Nearby and Search shows the variants from "What I drink" that are narrowing your results, with a one-tap clear.

Per-variant ratings.

When a place has multiple ratings across variants, see the breakdown — Diet Coke might be 4.5 stars while regular Coke is 3.8. Sort search results by community rating from the toolbar.

Shift variance.

For venues that pour different brands at different times of day, the detail page now shows the breakdown by morning, afternoon, evening, and late night.

Export and moderate your contributions.

Save a CSV of everything you've submitted via the system share sheet — Files, iCloud Drive, email, anywhere. See the moderation history for places you added, including any reports that got flagged.

Smoother voting.

Up- and down-voting on reports is now instant, no more flash.

Requires iOS 18 or later.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-29

Read what other contributors saw, in any language.

Tap the globe icon next to a venue's name or a contributor's note to translate on the fly — Apple Translation, on-device, instant after the first language pair downloads.

Rate the venues you visit.

A new 1-to-5-star rating on every report. Average rating and count surface on each place's detail page when there's data.

Better map pins.

Pin shapes now hint at serving type — a fountain venue looks different from a bottle-only venue. Color still tells you the brand family; shape tells you the format.

iPad gets the finishing touches: the More tab's Welcome tour and Community Guidelines now render inline in the detail pane, and the detail pane has a settings-style home view when nothing's selected.

Display name moved to the top of the More tab so it's easier to set or change.

"What I drink" filter is smarter — picking Diet Cola also surfaces venues from Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Dr Pepper families that are likely to carry it, not just venues with explicit Diet Cola reports.

App Store listing now available in Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Mexican Spanish, German, and French.

Requires iOS 18 or later.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-10

Beyond Coke vs Pepsi.

Reports now go deeper than the family. Pick from a curated catalog of products — Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite, Dr Pepper, A&W Root Beer, 7up, Mountain Dew, and more — and the map pin still colors by brand family so the visual story stays clean.

Set "What I drink."

A new preference in More → Preferences narrows Nearby and Search to places that serve the variants you actually care about.

Display names, optional.

Pick a handle in More → Manage your data and your reports show your name next to them instead of anonymous. Yours alone; we check at edit time.

Vote on reports.

Up or down arrows on each report let the community confirm or correct what others saw. Vote-weighted consensus surfaces the most-trusted observations.

iPad gets a real Search layout.

Sidebar of results, focused detail pane — no more iPhone-stretched form on iPad.

Plus: in-app privacy policy via Safari controller, anti-abuse improvements (location proximity warning at submit, vote deduplication, daily vote caps), and a faster modal product picker.

Requires iOS 18 or later.
