Better coffee, everyday
Can’t wait to try different beans and roasts
This App is just a slop, maybe okay to just keep a log, but not much else
Also the timer has no ability to start again. As in, if you start a timer by accident, it’ll just keep counting, even in the background and even if you completely wipe it from your RAM. And upon coming back to the app, it’ll have options (I think) to either resume the timer or input it manually. Sorry, but like, let me clear it and start again, it ain’t rocket science.
Also, unless you’re buying supermarket beans, you’ll most likely have to insert all the bean info yourself. Not that it makes a difference anyways. I told my was supposed to have hints of pecan, so the app wouldn’t shut up about pecan pies.

Hey, Firstly thank you so much for downloading and giving it a go! I really appreciate the feedback. I am so sorry you had these problems within the app, and I will do my best to fix them. Would you be open to maybe shooting over an e-mail about the issues? I'd love to have a little chat in more detail on how/why these issues occured, and how I can make it better for you? Here is my e-mail: info@brew-iq.app, looking forward to hearing from you :)

I’ve changed to brewing coffee via v60 using BrewIQ to track my brews and improve where necessary, it’s easy to use and I can’t wait to try some new different ways to brew other cultural coffees
Helped me learn more about espresso

Hey, Thanks for your review! I appreciate you taking the time to download BrewIQ. Firstly, I understand your issue regarding opting in twice. However, if we use apple native libraries, which is totally possible, it is just another hurdle to overcome - so it's easier if we keep it consistent across android and apple. However, potentially shortening that down to one action will certainly help with that friction, thank you :) The 'lots of fields' you mentioned are basic set up fields for BrewIQ to understand your set up and recommend insightful actions based of this. I hardly think putting your devices, beans, espresso machine and grinder is a lot of fields. Also, It isn't a chat gpt for coffee, far from it. If you ask chatgpt the same questions it lacks the comprehensive data sets that we have stored in the database for all machine models, grinders, bean variants and devices i.e V60s. The recommendation engine is built on these parameters, and also the ratings you give your brews play a huge part in finding your preferred tastes, which ultimate give you better recommendations. If you have some more time, I'd urge you to try it again. Please reach out at info@brew-iq.app if you have any further feedback :) Best, Marc
