## What is Agile Brewing?

Agile Brewing is an application written in Swift and SwiftUI, tailored made for the Apple platform. Handcrafted with an obsession over the details, Agile Brewing allows you to:

- Create "Bean Profiles"
- Create "Drink Templates" to speed up your brewing guidelines
- "Drink History" to easily display each drink and inform you on where you did well and maybe where you didn't do so well :)
- Pull shots of espresso or pour overs

With iOS 16, Agile Brewing utilizes almost every new feature exposed with SwiftUI 4.

Unlike other coffee applications, Agile Brewing has ZERO external dependencies, 3rd party plug-ins, or SDKs that may not respect your privacy.

### 4/5 — Some occasional glitches, but overall a useful app

*2022-12-07*

Would recommend.

### 4/5 — Pretty good, but missing a few important dimensions for shot tracking

*2022-08-22*

I like this app, & the design is nice & clean. One thing it’s missing which limits its usefulness is the ability to specify the grinder or brewer used for your drinks. Most coffee enthusiasts have different grinders for different preparations, & many use multiple brewers for different types of drinks. I’d love to be able to specify the grinder I used, the RPM etc. rather than just the grind setting. As it stands, there’s a gap in some of the knobs enthusiasts can use to track their brews. That said, the app is well made & the developer is still in the early stages, so I’m excited to see how it evolves!

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2022-08-13*

Not a fan of the subscription model for a glorified notepad app.

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for your comment. With version 1.0.2 and higher I have taken out all requirements for payment while I figure out the right approach. 

I'm new to the App Store and these 1 star reviews due to the pricing model really hurt me. I would kindly ask that you re-assess the application and if you are willing, to change your review.

I really don't think it's fair to one star the app because you disagree with the payment structure.

- Refactored all selectors that use Decimals to only initialize once, greatly improving the rendering speed.

### 1.0.7 — 2022-08-21

iOS 15 Improvements:
- Add keyboard toolbar for easily closing keyboard
- Force "Grind Size" and "Desired Ratio" inputs to menu picker

Beta iOS Improvements:
- Use enhanced TextField for "Additional Notes"

General UX Improvements:

- Attempt to speed up UI even more when quick scrolling
