Please fix this. Update-I’m paying for this app and now it won’t even open. **Developer response:** The lockout is a bug, and I need to get you up and running. Try Settings, General, iPhone Storage, Drydown, Offload App, then reinstall from that screen (your collection will still be there). On the limit: Pro is 90 Sommelier chats a month, under a ceiling of 30 AI calls a day across all features. I should have made that clear before you paid, not after. Please email support@drydown.app if you're still locked out. ### 2/5 — App was great until it started crashing *2026-07-22* This app was awesome! So much potential. Then it started crashing, and now I can’t even open it. **Developer response:** That's a bug. Try this first: Settings, General, iPhone Storage, Drydown, Offload App, then reinstall from that same screen. It swaps out the binary and leaves your collection data alone. If it still won't launch, please email support@drydown.app, and I'll get it fixed. ### 1/5 — Garbage vibe-slop *2026-07-22* App is horribly put together, has no natural flow, and is a “scam” for what it provides with paid. You can use the free chatGpt more effectively for scents than this app since it blocks you from actually using its features more than a few times in a day. **Developer response:** You can bypass the rate limits with your own OpenAI or Gemini key in Settings: it ships free, and if you're running ChatGPT for scents, you've already got the key. Collection management and wear logging were never capped in the first place. If you've tried this and it doesn't do what you expected, please email support@drydown.app. ### 1/5 — Terrible Buggy Mess *2026-07-22* This app might be a contender for one of the most sloppily vibe coded apps I’ve ever seen. The UI is just terrible to look at not to mention hard to navigate and understand what I’m even supposed to do. It just also isn’t very responsive. Worst if all there were barely any fragrances in the database, which is crazy for an “ai fragrance advisor” lol. **Developer response:** Version 2.0.1 ships 24,553 fragrances, so if yours showed you roughly none of them, one of us has a problem, and it's probably me. Offload and reinstall from iPhone Storage. If that doesn't work, email support@drydown.app with one house that came up empty, and I'll go dig. ### 5/5 — Finally! I can categorize my fragrances in a fun and easy way *2026-06-20* I was looking for something to help me understand what scents I like and found this. It’s simple to use, and the best part is I can get recommendations for other scents I might like. Great app! **Developer response:** That's the app doing what I built it for: log what you actually wear for a few weeks, and the patterns surface on their own. Thanks for writing this! ## Frequently asked questions about Drydown ### How does Drydown identify fragrances? Drydown uses AI to identify fragrances by scanning bottles with your camera or by scanning barcodes. It can instantly recognize the brand, name, notes, and concentration of thousands of perfumes. ### What kind of recommendations does Drydown offer? Drydown provides personalized recommendations based on real-time weather, time of day, occasion, your mood, preferences, and your existing collection's Scent DNA profile. ### Can Drydown help with fragrance layering? Yes, The Lab feature in Drydown offers AI-suggested pairings with compatibility scores and goal-based combination suggestions. It also provides detailed application guidance for layering. ### How does Drydown track my collection? You can photograph any fragrance bottle to add it to your collection. Drydown allows you to track fill levels, purchase prices, and organize with custom tags and smart search by notes. ### What is Scent DNA in Drydown? Scent DNA is a profile generated by Drydown that breaks down your preferences, including top note affinities, brand loyalties, and scent family distribution, based on your logged wears. ### Does Drydown have ads? No, Drydown does not contain advertisements. The app is free to download and use, with optional in-app purchases for advanced features. ### What devices does Drydown support? Drydown is available on iPhone and iPad, with seamless iCloud syncing across all your Apple devices. ### How often is Drydown updated? The latest version, 1.7.2, was released on May 17, 2026, indicating regular updates to enhance features and performance. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.3.0 — 2026-08-12 This one's all about speed, especially on older iPhones. Scrolling your Journal and Collection is now much smoother: photos load in the background at exactly the size they're shown, instead of being decoded at full resolution while you scroll. AI scans are faster and far lighter on memory and data — photos are prepared at an optimal size before anything is analyzed or uploaded, and label reading got the same treatment. The app also stays leaner when your device is under pressure: image memory is released the moment iOS asks for it, card exports are sized sensibly on smaller devices, and heavy background work (like syncing across your devices) now settles in one quiet pass instead of many. We also fixed a bug that made the app quietly rewrite your collection's records every time it launched. You never saw it, but your iPhone did: extra storage wear, unnecessary iCloud syncing, and occasional stutters — all gone now. Your battery and your storage will thank you. And if anything ever feels slow, there's a new Diagnostics screen in Profile → About. iOS collects performance reports on-device; nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to share them with us — and if the screen is empty, that's a good sign. Something not working right? Tap "Report a Problem" on that same screen and an email opens with the details already attached — no digging, no explaining your phone model. Reports include performance data and app activity events only, never your fragrances, journal entries, or photos. ### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-03 Your Monthly Summary now knows the day. Open Analytics early in the month and you'll see last month's full recap: the complete story, not two days of data pretending to be a month. Switch to the current month, and it now reads honestly as a month in progress: how it's shaping up so far, and how your pace compares to the same point last month. The AI summary waits until your month has enough wears to say something real, and if a refresh ever fails you'll keep your previous summary instead of an error. Once your month reaches five wears, the summary turns visual: your most-worn fragrance takes the spotlight, with tiles showing your pace against last month, your usual time of day, your dominant mood, and your layering experiments. Every tile speaks full sentences with VoiceOver. The AI summary is also better grounded now – it works from what you actually logged, including each fragrance's notes, your moods, occasions, and the weather, and it won't invent details beyond them. Your private journal notes stay on your device and are never part of the request. Also fixed: the score breakdown behind your daily On Rotation pick now always matches the score it explains. ### 2.1.2 — 2026-08-01 More room for power users. We doubled the daily scanning allowance — big collection re-scan days are now fully covered — and raised the daily limit on Sommelier, Lab, and Advisor calls for Pro subscribers. We also cleaned up a few screens so the app is clearer about exactly how generous your AI allowances are. ### 2.1.1 — 2026-07-31 If you own a lot of fragrances, the wishlist Purchase Advisor was playing it too safe: nearly every bottle came back as "Consider." We recalibrated the scoring so it once again distinguishes between a great addition, a nice-to-have, and one to skip. Your taste-match now counts the way you'd expect, and your existing wishlist verdicts update automatically. Thanks for the feedback! Keep it coming. ### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-29 Building your collection just got easier. • New welcome scans: get started fast with 20 free photo scans to add your collection, on top of your monthly scans. • Drydown Pro now includes unlimited photo scans – import a whole collection in one sitting. • Faster, more reliable scanning: photo identification is quicker and smoother behind the scenes. • Clearer limits: when you reach a scan limit, Drydown now tells you plainly and lets you keep adding manually or upgrade for unlimited – no more confusing errors. ## Related topics [scentshelf perfume tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/scentshelf-perfume-tracker) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
