COENA Wine List on iPad – Version 3.1.0 Release

We’re excited to announce the release of COENA Wine List on iPad – version 3.1.0.

This update is all about making your experience more reliable, modern, and visually refined.

Whether you’re a sommelier, restaurant owner, or guest browsing a wine list, version 3.1.0 introduces meaningful improvements that make managing and presenting your wine list smoother than ever.


Smarter and More Reliable Synchronization

One of the biggest updates in this release is a brand-new back-end synchronization technology.

Following the deprecation of Realm SDK, we didn’t just rebuild the old system — we designed something better, smarter, and more resilient. We know how critical reliable synchronization is in restaurants, especially when using consumer Wi-Fi routers.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Automatic sync on the welcome screen

    As soon as your iPad displays the welcome screen, the app now triggers a transparent synchronization process in the background. This process only happens when an Internet Connection is detected. This prevents all devices from syncing at the same time when the wine list is updated and reduces unnecessary network traffic in the restaurant.

  • Manual sync options for owners and staff

    You now have two easy ways to control synchronization directly from the welcome screen:

    • Single tap on the Wi-Fi icon → checks for any updates to the wine list, drinks, or meals and downloads them instantly.

    • Double tap on the Wi-Fi icon + confirmation → performs a full reload of all data (erasing and reloading, just like when you log in for the first time).

This new sync engine ensures your iPads stay up to date — without you having to worry about when and how it happens.


Optimized for iPadOS 26

We’ve tested and adjusted the app to run smoothly on the latest iPadOS 26, so you can upgrade your devices with confidence.


Bigger, Better Images for Producers and Domains

Wine is about stories, places, and people. In this update, we’ve increased the maximum image size you can upload for producers and domains to 10 MB.

This means richer, higher-quality photos on each wine’s fact sheet, letting you showcase the heritage and character of your producers in even more detail.


A Cleaner, Sharper Wine List Design

Presentation matters — both for sommeliers and guests. In 3.1.0, we’ve refined the light mode design to make your wine list more elegant and easier to read:

  • Titles are now bold for better readability.

  • The gray background behind mini-maps has been removed for a cleaner, more refined look.


Upgrade Now

COENA Wine List on iPad version 3.1.0 is available today. Update your app to take advantage of these improvements and continue offering your guests the most elegant, modern wine list experience.

 

At COENA, we believe that technology should elevate hospitality. This release is another step in making wine list management effortless — so you can focus on what matters most: your guests and their experience.
