## What is inVoak?

inVoak — Your Personal Wine Companion

inVoak is an all-in-one wine companion that learns your taste and puts it to work in the moment wine decisions happen — in the aisle, at the table, or picking a gift. It acts as your wine memory, cellar management, tasting guide, and anything you want to know about wine. With detailed information on wine and producers across the world, use it for anything from planning a trip to scanning a menu in a restaurant. If you love wine, inVoak is for you.

How it works:

It starts with your Palate Profile. A short 30-second survey helps inVoak learn your tastes. Then as you use the app rate each wine you try. Unlike other apps that show other user ratings, inVoak learns your taste from your ratings and gets better and better at finding a wine that you'll love.

Camera-first discovery. Point your camera at a wine label, a restaurant menu page, or an entire shelf, and get instant recommendations ranked against your personal profile. Each pick comes with a match score, a plain-English explanation of why it suits you, key tasting notes, and price context.

An AI sommelier you can freely chat with. Ask context-specific questions the way you'd ask a friend who happens to be a wine expert: "What should I order with steak tonight?", "Gift for someone who loves Pinot Noir, budget $40", or even "Help me plan a tasting trip to the Napa Valley that I will love". The sommelier draws on your personal profile and real-time wine data to answer with specific bottles, not generic advice.

The journal is your wine memory. Each wine you try or scan is logged to the journal, making it easy to look back and remember what you had. It has your ratings, structured or freeform tasting notes, the occasion, location, and food pairing. Your journal becomes a searchable record of your wine history.

Effortless cellar organization. Track the bottles you own with label scans, rack scans, or manual entry — vintage, quantity, purchase date, price, and notes. Non-vintage wines are fully supported. Ask it to recommend wines that are at peak maturity, or just pick out a wine for dinner.

Wine is social. Connect with friends to share taste profiles and journals. A Discovery Feed surfaces wines your friends rated highly, filtered through your own palate, and a Palate Match Score shows how compatible your tastes are. Virtually cheer your friends as they enjoy a glass.

The Gift Sommelier. inVoak takes the guesswork out of giving wine. Pick a friend, set a budget and occasion, and the AI generates gift recommendations based on their palate profile. Never wonder again if your host will like that dinner party gift.

Start free. The free tier includes most of the features of the app with some monthly limits to label and menu scans, chat, and cellar management. Premium unlocks multiple cellars, hundreds of scans and thousands of chats, advanced palate analytics, our smartest AI sommelier, full journal history, and priority scans and our fastest most reliable service.

inVoak is for the casual drinker who wants to drink better as well as the connoisseur — no spreadsheets, no point-score snobbery, just the right bottle for you, at the right price.

*2026-07-18*

Really enjoying the AI component of this app. It goes beyond simply identifying wines by providing detailed information on producers, regions, and flavour profiles that many other apps don’t always capture. It’s done an awesome job of learning my palate and has recommended several wines that I have genuinely enjoyed.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.4 — 2026-11-05

More insight into your wine.

• A new dimension to My Taste. Your ratings and tasting comments help inVoak learn whether you prefer youthful or mature wines, bringing that preference into your matches.

• Bottle-price estimates for everyone. See available price estimates when you scan, browse wine details, check your cellar or ask the sommelier, with no Premium subscription required.

• Cellar valuations kept current. Premium now automatically refreshes older price estimates for wines in your cellar.

• An easier way to try Premium cellar features. Eligible users can start a free 30-day trial from the cellar value or drinking-window controls, with nothing to cancel.

• Smoother scans and conversations. Better scan follow-ups, more reliable wine-list recommendations when you return to the app, and easier navigation in long chats.

• Restore purchases right from Premium Benefits, including when you arrive through an upgrade prompt.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-10-28

Tell the sommelier what you taste.

"Loved it", "too oaky for me", "great cherry but the tannin was harsh" — say it in chat and the sommelier notes it. A small "Taste noted" marker shows what reached your taste profile, with Undo. Each Journal entry now lists what you told the sommelier about that wine, and you can remove any of it.

Also in 1.4.3:

• The sommelier can take you places. Ask it to open the Atlas, Discover or search and it goes straight there. Cellar counts in chat are always current.

• Prices during a scan. Ask for prices while a bottle is still being identified and you get its estimate as soon as it is recognised.

• Service notices. Important updates about inVoak appear in the app, in your language, and can be dismissed.

• Smoother start-up and navigation. Fixes for a blank screen at launch and for rare mix-ups when switching accounts, scanning quickly or returning from the background. A scan with no producer is now described correctly in chat.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-10-20

Restores label scanning on iPhone and iPad after an issue in 1.4.1. The photo button now responds correctly, including after tapping the preview to focus. Thank you for your patience.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-17

New for iPhone Duo

Open up your wine experience with dual-pane Cellar browsing, Laptop layouts for Cellar and Atlas, and a Tent presentation for your Dinner companion. Browse your collection beside a bottle’s details, explore the map above a searchable winery list, or keep wine and meal advice easy to read at the table. Your selected bottle and in-progress edits stay with you as the layout changes.

Also new in 1.4.1:

• Tap to focus while scanning. Tap the label to adjust focus and exposure, with improved camera behavior that keeps attention on your bottle.

• Clearer personal Match scores. See larger percentages on label scan cards and bottle details in Cellar and Discover when enough taste data is available.

• Guided Tasting. Start from Journal, choose 2–6 wines, and explore them with sensory prompts, your own notes and Meh / Like / Love ratings. Pause and resume at your pace; finish the tasting to update My Taste with your ratings.

• Community insights. See ratings from other inVoak users alongside a separate count of cellars holding the wine, when data is available.

• A taste profile that learns more. Wines in your personal cellar now provide a gentle preference signal, while your explicit ratings carry more weight. Refined matching better reflects your preferences across wine styles.

• More reliable scanning. Improved wine identification, vintage handling and background updates help your results stay accurate and complete.

### 1.3.8 — 2026-10-10

• New: try Premium cellar features free for 30 days. See an estimated value and a drinking window for every bottle, plus your cellar's running total.
