ReFridge v1.1 - Update

ReFridge continues to evolve with a focus on clarity, usability and minimal friction.
This update improves core interactions and refines the overall user experience.

What is new?

  • Added a helpful popup when opening the barcode scanner for the first time, explaining that expiry dates are estimates based on product categories and typical shelf life

  • Redesigned the Recipes section with a more intuitive and cleaner interface

  • Reworked the onboarding experience to make getting started faster and clearer

  • Improved when and how the app asks for ratings to make the experience less intrusive

Improvements

This update is less about adding new features and more about improving how existing ones feel.

The goal was to:

  • Reduce confusion

  • Improve first-time user experience

  • Make interactions more predictable and smooth


Especially the onboarding and recipes redesign are steps toward a more coherent product experience.

Final Thoughts

ReFridge v1.1 refines the foundation laid in v1.0.

Small changes, but meaningful ones. Focused on making the app easier and more pleasent to use in everyday situations.
