Update broke key feature

Update 5/21/2025: another update is even worse... now none of the saved images shows!!! 😔 Please fix it ASAP!

Latest update from May 2025 2.0.43 doesn't shows old images for individual shots. Please fix it asap!

Crashes, no way to edit water and update profile picture does not work

The app constantly crashes and no way to edit water. Which makes it useless. The idea is amazing but implementation so bad.

Frustrating App

I can’t get this to work properly, sometimes I can add a photo from my library other times I can’t. Don’t even get me started on trying to edit a picture. Please fix the issues with Brewmaster. iPhone 12 Pro, latest iOS18.

Crashes very often

App crashes so frequently its almost useless. Please reach out to me if you would like a professional app thats as nice as the lunar scale.

Lousy user experience

Whoever designed the app may have some basic experience with graphic design, but definitely not with user interface design. Frankly all I wanted was to see what my pour rates were on a graph to practice pouring at 6-8 g/s. It was such a p.i.t.a. to do this. (((and that text soooo tiny)))

Really not even a diagnostic or basic screen just showing scale data like that BIG somewhere?

Has programming API been made available or documented? I’ll write my own.

Useful for espresso

Nice to have a log of my shots but the frequent app crashes are aggravating.

Needs much more descriptive tutorial

The explanation of the graph is poorly presented in the brewmaster section. It would be simple to just label each part of the graph and wrote a brief description of what it means/how to use it, but we don’t get that. This would be helpful for those using flow control devices

App keeps crashing

Fix this app or remove it. Has potential but not stable

Crashed and lost my data

After entering all the brew data, the app crashed without saving anything. I think it didn’t like me turning off the scale?
Saving photo doesn’t work.

App crashes when I try to access my Fellow Stagg EKG+

Bought the kettle with Bluetooth to turn on the kettle from my bed. Got it today, set it up, and the app crashes every time I try to access the kettle settings. Useless.

get a dumb scale

You'll spend more time fighting this app and Bluetooth pairing than you will making coffee.

I've already returned the scale once as it failed to pair to iOS. It worked for a month and then bombed out again.

If you know how to weigh and time your coffee, you won't need this app. But if you were already comfortable doing that, you probably wouldn't have bought a scale advertising connectivity and an app to help you. This app and scale do neither.

Broken appšŸ™„

Not really happy with this buggy app. Every time I click on the EKG icon it crashes wish I could actually use the Bluetooth feature as intended.

Decent app - fixed

Update: it launches and doesn’t crash, since last week’s update. This was broken for the iP 12 MP for about seven months, disgraceful really. But I’m glad it’s finally working!

Saves some steps in various recipes, a decent average app that finally works :)

Original review some months back:
This app hasn’t launched for months for me, crashes on start. iPhone 12 Max Pro, iOS 14.4 (nothing on beta) Support has responded and have only been frustrating. They say they have no problems, and have nothing much else to say PS - the scale itself is fantastic :) just don’t expect a reliable or even usable app

Version v2.0.36.967

The latest update has broken connectivity to the Stag EKG+. Every time I open the app and click on the kettle icon, the app crashes and closes. Please fix this! Thanks

Pearl 2021 update broke my app

The BM app was working just fine. I’ve never liked the UX, but it did it’s prime feature for my Fellow EKG+, which is that I could turn it on/off and control the temperature via the phone.

Now that I updated to BM’s latest ā€œPearl 2021ā€ update, it crashes when I click the Kettle Icon.

I’ve been using iOS 14.5 beta since December, and it was working fine until this latest Acaia update.

Hope you guys can release a quick fix.

Easy to use!

I think this app is super easy to use. It’s a great tool for tracking your morning brews! You can record your brew in real time and replicate your favorite brews.

Please hire us

Guys. You’re too good for this. This scale is gorgeous! I’m nerding out on the precision. But I paid $$$$ for a smart scale. And it just won’t connect. And yeah. We have 4 apps? Please please please hire my team at Crema.us. Yes! Crema. We are coffee nerds and we design and build amazing software. I’m not sure if you’re cutting cost but this is that final step of making your customers sing your praises!! I want to give you 10 stars. Not 1.

Deletes Brews

This app has always had issues with one of its core functions: logging brews without periodically deleting old logs. Seems like the newest update has made it even worse. Please fix guys! This is a well known, widespread issue!

Repeated Data Loss

This app is so upsetting that I hate not only the app but also the scale.

There have been too many times that I’ve pressed the ā€œSaveā€ button only to have my new brew entry disappear from the list in less than a second. At first I thought this had something to do with special characters like ā€œ:ā€, ā€œ(ā€œ, or ā€œ)ā€ in my brew name or bean name, but I think it happens most often when I have the app logged in to my account. It seems to happen less if I’m not logged in, but then I can’t see my previous brew entries. There have been other problems, but I feel it’s a waste of my time to list them all considering how long this app have been available and it’s still crappy.

If I knew the app would be this bad, I could have bought a much cheaper scale without an app!

Timer is off

The log a brew time was almost 2 min different than the scale. Noticed the seconds would periodically jump/skip. Also had an issue typing in a name for the brew, it would kick me back out to the graph screen. I’ll update my review once you fix.
