Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fantastische App *2026-01-19* Seit ich Beanconqueror entdeckt habe, macht dass Kaffeetrinken noch mehr Spaß. Die App kann so viel und ist dabei super übersichtlich. Danke an den Entwickler, ich bin ein glücklicher Nutzer! **Developer response:** Hallo j._snafus, vielen Herzlichen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Schön zu sehen, dass dich BeanConqueror begleiten darf in der Reise des Kaffees :) Hab eine gute Tasse Kaffee Lars ### 5/5 — One of the best apps of its kind *2025-12-21, version 8.5.0* Quite complete and full of features. Would be great if on macOS is supported a proper layout as it is it’s a bit wonky. ### 5/5 — Fantastic brewing tracker *2025-12-16, version 8.4.3* This is a great app for keeping track of your brews and seeing how tweaking variables affects the brew. Easy to personalise to the variables you want to track with a nice summary list of all your brews to easily see the effect of your adjustments to help dialling in. Recommended ### 5/5 — Revolutionary *2025-12-06* I am beyond impressed with this app. It’s like somebody went into my brain and built the exact coffee journal I want but don’t have the ability to articulate. I have been literally telling everybody I know about this. The layout makes complete sense. I love the color palate and cute designs. It comes preloaded with all of the popular brewers. The features include everything I need to fully define every variable and input. It’s not bloated. It’s FREE?? This is an app I would pay money for but I hugely appreciate how accessible it is. I would much rather donate and have it remain free to people who just want to give it a try, because this really sells itself if you know literally anything about the infinite variables with coffee brewing. I have already found myself going back to my notes for numerous tweaks in my next brews. I could go back in time to every brew with any coffee and see exactly what I’ve done so I could get that same cup again, or so I knew what I did and could try another brewer to see how they compare. This app is of course only as good as you are at recording your info, but it has absolutely everything I need. My only suggestion for inputs might be to add a field for specifying what recipe I’m using, e.g. Hoffman V60, Tetsuo 4:6, or whatever custom pour structure I want so I can experiment. I can always put that into the notes but I would enjoy being able to go back in the future and compare what recipes I’ve given the highest ratings to, for example. A couple other things I’d love: -The front page is lovely, especially the “time since last cup” which is such a thoughtful touch. I would enjoy a few more options for a graphical/pictorial summary of stats. It would be cool to have a graph or table or even just a list where I could see what grinders I’ve used with what coffee, what grind setting for a specific grinder have the highest brew rating, etc. Really just a basic comparison of whatever variables I’m interested in. -The ability to create tags to improve filtering when I’m reviewing past brews based on what I’m looking for in the notes field. I would enjoy being able to search for specific conclusions like heavy/med/light body, high/med/low sweetness, etc. Any shot this will eventually include a roast log version? I would spend much more time trying to roast the right coffee if it was as easy to record as this is for pour overs. **Developer response:** Hello Yabitu Koba, big thank you for the lovely review and the time taken to write this! Happy you notice and see all the investment that has went into this app. Regarding your question of the recipe: You can go to Menu -> Brewing parameters -> Manage parameters -> Enable "Profile". There you have a new parameter which you can fill out like "Tetuso 4:6". Regarding the statistics: Its hard to match the needs/wants and have it still possible for all users to use it. I'd be happy to exchange more thoughts about this, in best via e-mail: info@beanconqueror.com Also regarding the roast possibilities, there is less traffic about this, and thats why the roast-section doesn't get much attention right now. If you got any more questions or ideas, I'm happy if you reach out :) Have a great cup of coffee Lars ### 5/5 — The best and most intuitive *2025-11-02* Have tried multiple apps. Beanconqueror is the most intuitive and the best. Best of all, it allows you to use a Bluetooth pressure sensor and a scale made by a combination of different manufacturers. 2 requests: iCloud sync of data and maybe customization of parameter colors on the brew graph. Thank you for such a wonderful app. **Developer response:** Hey tzegin, thank you very much for the lovely feedback! Regarding the iCloud Sync: I know this is an often asked feature, after BeanConqueror is developed on my own on my spare time, I can't give any promises. Regarding the parameters of the color of the brew graph, I'd like to get more information about whats the need about this, if you like reach out to me via e-mail: info@beanconqueror.com Have a great cup of coffee Lars ### 5/5 — Bitte Darkmode 🙏🏽 *2025-09-16* Wahnsinn was hier kostenlos geboten wird. Nutze die App täglich mehrmals und bin mehr als zufrieden. Gerne zahle ich auch etwas um euch zu unterstützen. Ein Darkmode wäre mir auf jeden Fall den ein oder anderen Euro wert ;) Vielen Dank für die tolle App! **Developer response:** Hallo Gafloix, vielen Herzlichen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Mit dem heutigen Release 8.4.0 gibt es nun auch den Experimentellen Dark Mode. Ich freue mich über die Rückmeldung auch gerne via E-Mail: info@beanconqueror.com Hab eine tolle Tasse Kaffee Lars ### 3/5 — One glaring feature missing *2025-09-10* This app really needs cross-device sync. I have read the developer’s explanation as to why it is difficult to implement. I think despite the difficulty, the apple platform will make it possible (i.e. with things like CloudKit), or even just a more automatic import export to iCloud Drive that you can do manually now. I would pay for this feature **Developer response:** Hello Dnbnaaa, thank you for the feedback and the request of the sync. Thanks also that you've already read the explanation. BeanConqueror is currently just done by myself in my spare time so its hard to keep things and strings attached in all boundaries. I hope this feature will make it someday to production. Regarding for the iCloud-Drive export: You could try to use Apple-Automations, this has been already discussed in the BeanConqueror-Discord, maybe this could be a good solution? Have a great cup of coffee Lars ### 5/5 — Best app for coffee enthusiasts by far. *2025-09-04, version 8.3.2* Perfect balance between sophisticated features (including Bluetooth connections with multiple devices) and fantastic user experience. After a long search for the ideal app to learn from my own brewing experience and using every cup I brew to get closer to the perfect espresso, I have finally found it. Amazing job Lars, kudos! ## Frequently asked questions about Beanconqueror ### What does Beanconqueror do?
