Leave a Review KombuchApp
Nice app; would like some more functions
I start using the app today and copied over my notes from my batches into the app. For the most part, I like the interface. However there are a few things that I would like to see added:
-a section to add ph/season/temperature conditions
-a (larger) space dedicated to making notes about F1 and F2. Right now, it’s just a small box above the photos.
-a general journal space outside of the brewing input space for writing down and ideas that might come about during the process.Show lesslivinginmusic

Hey there, thanks for using the app and for your feedback! It’ll be considered for future versions. Happy brewing!Needs to be able to sync on different devices
I have sent two emails through the app with no response. I have the app on my iPad and iPhone, but the info doesn’t transfer. It is easier for me to input on my iPad, but I want to be able to check it when my iPad is not handy, but I see no way to sync the apps. Most apps I have can be used on both devices with the data showing on both devices. I have the paid upgrade.Show lessSzalotta

Hello! Your emails were now replied to, sorry for the delay! The app currently doesn't support multi-device sync. It only stores your information locally in each device where you install it. Sorry if this doesn't meet your needs and thanks for the feedback, it’ll be considered for future versions of the app. Happy brewing :)Fun app!
Small update would be to allow different types of sugars to be tracked. I use sugar & honey in different amounts...columiacitykombucha
Good for Homebrewers!
Just began home brewing again, so excited to add some content to this app- might be cool to browse other people’s brews and flavorings/ have contacts. Maybe it does already and I don’t see that, but that would be pretty cool! Thanks so much for making this awesome app- looking forward to further developments!Show lessssjvss
Nice find
Was looking for a general project tracker to use for tracking my brews, but I found this instead. Looks like it has what I meed in terms of features.
***Edited to add that it would be nice to include days of the week anywhere dates appear, and that a place/tab to store recipes and notes would be great too.
The recipe area could use more customization options. Would be nice to be able to enter what kind of sugar and water was used, like for the tea. Helpful stuff to track!
I actually use this app to track three kinds of fermented drinks, not just Kombucha, and the recipe area doesn’t fit those other ferments great (Water kefir and Ginger bug). Could be nice to have more flexibility/customization there.
Overall fills its purpose, but a bit barebones.Show lessNoniCrabs99

Hello! Thanks for using the app and for your feedback! It’ll be considered for future versions of the app. Happy brewing!Need temperature and pH- good start
Good visuals and nice layout, but I would like to track temp/pH to help with improving my taste profile.
Also would prefer a way to have more than one type of tea/sugar listed as I like to mix those quite often, (20g black, 10 Oolong or green tea) etc.
Just started the 14 day trial for evaluation of the paid version. Will review again later.Show lesssolarisi
It is NOT a free app
This is ridiculous how you have to pay for a subscription to use this app although you can download it for free! What is the point of making the app free if you have to subscribe to use it!Tanii78
Developer Response
Hello! Thanks for using the app. There are no subscriptions in this app. The free version includes tracking features that you can use for free for as long as you want. Many people use only the free version’s features as that covers their needs. The full version is a *one time* payment that unlocks reminders, photos and 2F tracking. Again, you only need to pay for this once and it’s not a recurring subscription. Sorry for the confusion. I hope this clarifies the free app with in-app-purchase situation. Happy brewing!Good start
Update: Thank you for pointing out the recipe feature. Updated to 4 stars.
This app has serious potential. What I would like to see is the ability to change the measurement type in each brew log. Being able to add photos is nice, except there’s no space for a caption to remind myself of exactly why that photo was saved. Also a section to keep recipes would be nice. So ingredients and flavors could just be automatically added in the batch addition. Maybe a community section to share recipes, ideas, success, failure, etc. would be nice.Show lessUh huh.

Hello! Thanks for using the app and for your feedback. One of your observations that’s already available in certain way is the place to keep your recipes so you can add them automatically when creating a new batch. To do this, tap on the “Copy from previous brew” option in the ingredients section while adding or editing a brew. Hope this is useful to you. The rest of your feedback will be considered for future versions of the app. Happy brewing! Update: We’ve taken your feedback into account and the latest version of the app lets you add notes to every photo of your brews!Very helpful
I’ve been keeping track of my Kombucha brews by keeping manual notes of what I do. This app is a great resource to manage all my brews in one location. There are a few more features I would like the app to implement. I feel the price for the full version of the app is too costly. If the app sold for $3 I would buy it.Show lessDaveFriant
