This is a recent issue, broken via update. ### 3/5 — Great app, but I fail to see the value *2026-07-05, version 4.6.11* I was looking for a way to simplify my morning brew. I can manage a pour over with the simple timer on the iPhone, but having some step-by-step notifications would make the process a little more “automated”. Unfortunately, to get any further usability you need to pay, which I’m not averse to doing, but the prices are far too high. I’m happy to pay a lifetime fee, but this is just too steep. I’ll either keep looking for something else or go back to the timer app. I’m happy for all of those that get the value out of the app. ### 3/5 — Scale time is bad *2026-05-21, version 4.6.11* I really hate the new feature that changes the time for a recipe when the previous brew took longer. Go back to the old way. ### 3/5 — Fault *2026-04-05, version 4.6.4* When the clock is counted down, the clock covers Dynamic Island ( another app ). ### 2/5 — High subscription fees, poor free features *2026-03-21, version 4.6.2* A versatile app with a heavy amount of detail if you want to go that deep. Free version lets you make a brew but you need a pro version to even look at your previous pours. $5 a month or $50 a year is way too much money for what I would use it for. ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2026-03-21* Would be nice to be able to edit the name of the step. Currently for a custom recipe its limited range of predefined values creates awkward combinations like “Prepare the following: push down the plunger”. And I still need to specify the mass for this step, even though it’s meaningless. ### 2/5 — Great idea, too pricey *2026-02-27, version 4.5.11* I love the idea of this app. It has many great features, but almost all of them (including espresso) are locked behind a subscription or a very pricey one time purchase. I love the idea but I wish I could have a more affordable option. ### 2/5 — Many numbers are too small *2025-10-18, version 4.5.2* I fired up the app this morning for the first time in quite a while only to find out there’s been a complete redesign. After navigating my way to, and past, the start Brew screen I was looking for, I got started. The new design seems less intuitive than the prior format. The most important thing I needed was the rate of water edition, as I had developed a bad habit of pouring over too quickly, but the numbers were so small I could barely see them. An all too common typical “redesign“ leading to typical disappointment and now my loss of confidence in these operators. ### 4/5 — Beautifull! Please add pressure sensor support *2025-10-18* I like the app. Just wish it would also support bluetooth pressure sensors for my espresso 🙏 ### 5/5 — Super pomocník *2025-10-17, version 4.5.2* Už několik let používám jako pomocníka při přípravě kávy a nikdy nezklamal. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad customer support *2026-08-11, version 4.7.2* This app used to be good. Now it gets freeze often and the developer doesn’t answer the emails. ### 1/5 — Timer does not update *2026-07-25, version 4.7.1* When using chemex, the timer does not update based on grams of coffee or amount of water selected ### 1/5 — Bad business choice *2026-06-14, version 4.6.11* I spent hours perfecting my presets. A recent update paywalled them completely. I do not care about history. Locking my hard work is unacceptable. Terrible business choice. ### 1/5 — Limited, UI is bad. *2026-01-01, version 4.5.6* Extremely limited, unless you buy a subscription. UI is not very intuitive, and the fonts wont fit the screen properly (iphone 14 Pro). I could connect to a BT scale, but the brew/tare process was confusing. No Hario Switch on methods. I find bean conqueror superior. ### 1/5 — "Free" *2025-12-12, version 4.5.4* App does not fit properly on an iPhone 14 Pro screen, parts of the text and selection boxes sit off to the right with no way to reach them by zooming or moving the view. My settings text is at default minimum size. I could not even test the Pro features because of this. Still searching for a decent espresso tracking app. ### 1/5 — Screen Glitch in recent update *2025-12-05* I have been a loyal user of Filtru, relying on it daily for tracking my espresso shots, but the latest update has introduced a critical bug that makes the app unusable. The issue occurs on the final "All Done!" screen in the dial in process for espresso shots. I can manually enter all my data, including the Rating and Additional Notes like Pour Consistency (as seen in the screenshot), but the final confirmation button (the one at the top right, usually labeled "Done" or "Save") is completely inaccessible. It appears to jump and stick to an inaccessible part of the screen, making it impossible to tap or finalize the entry. This glitch prevents me from completing the critical step of logging and saving my shot results, which defeats the entire purpose of the "Dial In" feature. I can fill in the shot details (18g coffee / 36g yield) but cannot finalize the entry. Please push an immediate fix for this issue! ### 1/5 — Türkçe dil desteği gelsin *2025-11-18, version 4.5.4* Türkçe lütfen ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-11-16, version 4.5.4* Llena de bugs, desde la ultima actualizacion el selector de ratios funciona terrible. Pierdo mas tiempo queriendo configurar los ajustes que haciendo un café. La desinstalé, era buena pero ya no mas ### 1/5 — Monthly subscription just to brew espresso *2025-11-15, version 4.5.4* What a joke. Another predatory subscription app to use basic features ### 1/5 — Nicht nutzbar *2025-10-17* Ich bin wirklich enttäuscht von der App. Eine gute User experience sieht anders aus. Habe für 5,99€ alle Brühmethoden gekauft, und nachdem ich versehentlich Batch Brew ausgewählt habe, seh ich die restlichen Methoden nicht und kann diese auch nicht in meine Schnelleingaben auswählen und übernehmen. Habe heute bei Apple die Rückerstattung beantragt. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Changed the game for me *2026-07-23, version 4.7.1* I have coffee every morning and the instruction it gave me for making a French press coffee was brilliant. I have a lovely coffee every morning now and it actually has lowered my caffeine intake throughout the day as a result. Great app ### 5/5 — Delicious every time. *2026-06-18, version 4.6.11* The best coffee app! ### 5/5 — Use it every morning *2026-05-23, version 4.6.11* Great app. Love how it helps me to brew my pour overs everyday ### 5/5 — Daily driver for years *2026-05-14, version 4.6.11* Been using Filtru for years and years now maybe since 2020! I found a bug and reported it first in X/twitter. Bobby immediately addressed the issue. Thanks for the hard work. Looking forward to see how the app evolves. ### 5/5 — Veteran Filtru User *2026-04-07, version 4.6.4* I’ve been using Filtru for at least 10 years. It has become a part of the day. My equipment has changed over the years but my app remains the same. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-03-05, version 4.5.11* I have made the best cups coffee at home and put some solid coffee shops in my area to shame with the guidance of Filtru! There are so many options and methods it's such a great way to learn more about the best methods for coffee makers. I have been using the V60 and Aeropress for this. ### 5/5 — Amei ♥️ *2026-02-15* Que programa incrível, eu usei com meu Aeropress e meu V60 não tem como errar o programa é como se tivesse alguém do seu lado lhe dizendo: coloque a água, agora pare ... continua e cronometra ... em breve pego a versão pró é intuitivo e muito fácil de configurar .. amei ### 5/5 — Great coffee brewing app with excellent VoiceOver support. *2025-12-28, version 4.5.5* Excellent coffee brewing app with a lot of flexibility and excellent VoiceOver support. The developer always tries making the app accessible and fixes promptly Whatever bugs may pop up and is receptive to feedback and suggestions on how to make the app even more accessible. All and all in great app that I use multiple times a day. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-12-08, version 4.5.4* I love the simplicity and how the step by step guides take all the guesswork out of brewing, so I get a great cup of coffee every single time. ### 5/5 — Great but sound effects broken? *2025-10-19, version 4.5.2* Sound effects seem broken in the latest release --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
