Solid Replacement for Coffee Cellar
I used to track my coffee in an app called Coffee Cellar, but development stopped a few years back and it vanished from the App Store. This app, CoffeeNote, by a different developer, does basically the same thing, with some notable differences (and improvements). The aesthetic is very nice and clean, and fits well with the newer iOS design language. The rating system also goes very in depth, which I like. All in all, a solid app.
A few suggested improvements:
1) more categories for coffee information. For example, I like tracking country of origin, region, farmer/producer, (E.g., Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe, misty valley natural).
2) some basic search capability. Once I add enough coffees, it'll be hard to track which ones I liked the most. It would be nice to filter by star rating or name, for example, when I'm at the coffee shop looking to buy a pound of coffee and I can't remember if I liked the day's offerings.
3) swipe to delete would be a nice addition. The delete button is buried inside the edit menu for each cup of coffee.
4) data export or cloud saving. My biggest beef with Coffee Cellar was, after the app was pulled, and I bought a new phone, the app data was inexplicably not backed up and I lost two years of saved coffee info. It would be nice to periodically export this into an excel file or some other save file.
