  • Great features and responsive developer

    I needed a good lye calculator and recipe handler and found this little beauty that does so much more. Soap genie will preview the different properties your oils will impart to your final product and will warn you if your soap might be lacking — too soft or too harsh, etc. Or better yet, use the automated calculator to help you build a better soap and optimize to whatever property you wish. Super solid and worth the money to go pro.

  • Love this app so far, but miss ability to sync across devices.

    Please add support to sync across devices please.
  • Cannot upgrade and ‘soon is already 1 month old

    I’ve tried to install app but since basic version is quite limited I wanted to upgrade. Unfortunately it’s failing for some reason. Since I m using iOS 13 and ‘new iOS 13 specific version should come out “soon”, I’ll wait. But this soon is already month old, so no upgrade and no new version. Disappointing.

    The updated version for iOS 13 has been out since 14 September (1.2.4). I'm not aware of any problem that would prevent you from upgrading to the full version. Please get in touch with me via kim.bauters@smarthound.uk so I can sort this out for you as quickly as possible.
  • Like the app suggestion on making it better

    I like the app. Put in a formula and it will estimate the results based upon a variety of criteria (hardness, bubbles, etc). What would be amazing is if the app allow you to change the formula and see the criteria update in real time.
  • Simply the best and getting better

    This is an amazing app. Rather than simply allowing us to choose oils and fats to soap with this app does so much more. Instead we can tell the app what type of soap we want - conditioning, hardness, creamy lather etc. - and it will make a recipe to suit the oils we have on hand.

    The developer is super responsive and his web site lays out a roadmap of features to be added. I'm really looking forward to the updates although the current version works brilliantly.

  • It’s Promising but only 5 Oil Choices

    Annoyed that I only have 5 oil choices to pick from when I use many other kinds of oils in my soaps... I don’t use castor oils and I don’t use cocoa butter so... can we have more choices?

    Developer Response

    Thank you for trying the app and taking the time to write a review. The basic oil choices in the free version give you the chance to try the app before you decide to purchase the full version. With these 5 oils you can make a number of different soaps, try out the fragrances, see how the recipe book works, etc. If you're happy with what the app has to offer, you can unlock the full version in the Settings screen. The full version gives you - among other things - access to over 80 oils, the ability to set oil prices, and the option to create PDF prints of your recipes. This full unlock is a one-time purchase. There are no subscription fees, and you get all future updates to the app. By purchasing the app you make it possible for myself, an independent developer, to keep improving the app and pay the bills. Many thanks in advance if you do decide to unlock the full version and I hope you will enjoy the app as much as all the other users already do!
