Fantastic

Easy to use and Robust. I trust this now to organize all of my pottery creations and notes. One of my favorite features is the ideas stage which allows me to save inspiration photos. Then the idea can advance as I actually make the project, adding photos ,notes and stages along the way. Very responsive to feedback which helps the App continue to get better and better.

Buggy

Not sure why it’s so slow and glitchy, feels and looks unfinished.

Simple, effective pottery tracking app.

It makes documenting pottery projects straightforward and practical. I use it to record what I made, what worked, and what didn’t, so I don’t repeat the same mistakes. It’s clearly designed by someone who understands how potters actually work. Useful tool if you care about learning and improving, not just logging pieces.

Not working as expected

I tried installing the software several times on my iPad and it just doesn’t work. Not really sure what to try.
