Beware - updating loses favorites

Latest update wiped out all my favorites - way to go LCBO. Not only that but now have to create an account and provide an email in order to create a favorites list! Does the Gov of ON get to track my shopping preferences!?! No thanks.

Dont update!!!

I should have read the reviews!! Favorites wiped without any warning. And LCBO will not get to mine my email address in order to use the app. Will be deleted.

Update: 4 stars to 1 star

Since the update Ive lowered my rating. Concerns about data mining and frustration about no warning all favourites would be lost on update. I notice the positive reviews are by people who never kept favourites on the old version and dont have issues about privacy.

Piece of junk

New is not always better...this new version is useless for product searches, favourites have disappeared and theres no reason to need my email address unless your phishing!

Inventory update

Love the location aware inventory.

Update cleared all my favourites

Grrrrrr

Lost all my favorite, hard to navigate

This is a bad update, theres no migration for favourite list and user will have to rebuild favourite list! I also found the new app hard to navigate, take some learning curve to get use to it.

Awesome!

Finally LCBO!! Huge improvement in this update.

Hate it

Where are my favourites?

A much needed refresh

Finally the app doesnt look like it was made in 2005. I love how my favourites are on my home screen. Makes it so much easier to find new products. Looking forward to new updates. Keep killing it!

Favourites gone!

I get updating an app but to also take away things I had marked as favourites is a real pain. I had a lot of wine saved in there.

In principle, great app

In reality, less so. I cant count how many times my favourites have been wiped out. But I can tell you that once again, thanks to the syncing with lcbo.ca presumably, my favourites list is again empty. What was that wine I liked again? Oh, you dont remember either? Great.

Location

According to this app, the closest lcbo for me is in GTA. I live in London Ontario. How ridiculous.

Needs work

First of all, to all the people saying they lost their favourites, the app stated, "save all your favourites in an email and send it to yourself so you can load them back into the new app" Anyway, these links lead to the online website where you sign up/in and load your favourites from the back up email you made. But when I switch to the app, my favourites are not there, even after deleting and reinstalling the app. (Update: when adding in one favorite in the app the rest of my favourites showed up from the ones I saved on the online website) Something missing I was hoping for was a star ratings for your favourites which will hopefully be included in an update. A couple smaller quirks is I found my store location by address but it showed on the map in a different location miles away. Although showing half the bottle in favourites is stylish Id rather see the whole bottle. I will update this review as I use the app more and things change.

Old version was so so much better

Who ever approved this new version should be fired! Search only allows single location - cannot search radius. You will Waste time clicking all locations - which you cannot access unless you give up your email and contact details. A brand / country may not show up as being available unless you click around...good luck to all those who last year would have had to try with this app today to find which location had Crown Royal Northern Harvest. You will lose all your favourites.

Great App

The new app is much nicer and more pleasing to the eye. A lot more functionality and easier to navigate. I find it responds faster as well. Very clean look. I lost my favourites but not a big deal. The new look and feel improves the experience.

Where have all my Favourites gone?

Very disappointed, I had a collection of Favourites from 3 years...like many recent reviews, the update wiped out all that info. Way to go developers!!! Way to think outside the box!!!

Easy to use and saves time

Beautifully crafted app, clean and well organized. Enjoying the features, maps, searching, didnt realize how much LCBO carried. Favourites are now saved indefinitely and remembers them to wherever I install the app.

Beautiful design

Love how everything is so simple now.

Wrecked a fun ap

As has been noted why the hell would they wipe out the existing favourites ? Ive been saving them for years I have no interest in registering , for what ? So the LCBO can track my every move Screw it Ill never use the new AP and am switching to the competition lol
