USELESS

I have followed the instructions given and initially I asked for the timing to be every 12 hours on my US eastern daylight time, but my feeding reminders were occurring in the middle of the night. Only when I did some digging did I find out that it had me listed as living in Helsinki Finland I have tried two starters one from a friend and one that I purchased online because neither one was working. I have been faithful in my feelings. I have purchased a water bath to be certain that the starter does not fluctuate in temperature since it needs such constant temperature attention and have failed twice the app helped for a little while and then it stopped helping I have no idea what caused it to stop giving me times for feeding even after I change the timing I am totally frustrated and it is ridiculous for a bot to tell me it certainly understands my frustration. Get a grip on reality because you cannot understand my frustration if you are simply AI. Don’t waste your money.

FIXED THE ISSUE. “Fernandough” and I are sad it doesn’t work 😥.

From the main screen when I enter my email to login, it gets stuck on that screen. It won’t go past that. There are no options to do anything on that screen, except enter my email to login, and it doesn’t work. Please fix this, because I was super excited for this app! ISSUE IS FIXED!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS APP! It is so helpful, and it’s like talking to a real person. The AI responses are always accurate and quick. Great job to the developers! Love it!

Informative

Informative but if I ask too many questions I have to wait 19 hours to ask again. Meh.

Response from developer

Hello AlyBee1964, thank you for downloading the app! I wanted to let you know we’ve improved this feature - we now use a monthly limit instead of a daily reset, which gives much more flexibility. If you're open to trying it again, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Florian Superbaking

Fixed the issues

I downloaded the app multiple times trying to get it to work and it just stuck on the main screen with no way to submit login however with some setting changes and reset the zoom on my phone I was able to get it to work and it works great!!

Response from developer
