Can I Edit My Collection on Apple TV? (tvOS Version 1)
Apple TV is a display-first companion experience in Version 1
Short answer
In tvOS Version 1, WhiskeyMate on Apple TV is designed primarily for display and browsing. You can showcase your collection, browse bottles, and use big-screen discovery features, but you should continue to use your phone (iOS/Android) or the web for editing and management.
What Apple TV is great for
- Showcasing your collection in a bar area or living room.
- Browsing and searching bottles quickly on the big screen.
- Discovery via Shared Collections and WhiskeyFeed.
- Planning a pour and getting ideas from Fitz while you host friends and family.
What to use iOS/Android/web for (today)
- Editing collections: create, rename, delete, change cover photos, and manage access.
- Editing bottles: add bottles, update details, mark bottles open/closed, and update notes.
- Managing Premium: subscription changes and account settings.
Why Version 1 focuses on display
Apple TV is best when it feels simple, fast, and effortless with a remote. Version 1 focuses on creating a polished, reliable big-screen experience that highlights the value of your collection data and makes it easy to browse during tastings and gatherings.
