Scotch Whisky Auctions comes to your iPhone and iPad! Our app lets you bid on items on our auctions and keep track of items you've already bid on. You can also add items to your watchlist, allowing you to keep tabs on how they're doing without bidding, and track items that you own that are active in the current auction. And you can subscribe to Push notifications, which will send you a message when you're outbid. (Please note that we can't guarantee Push notifications will reach your device so we recommend you check on bottles you're particularly keen to win as well.)
