### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-03, version 1.4.5*

Can’t even connect to the kettle. Not serious at all

### 3/5 — Good but lacking one feature

*2026-07-28, version 1.4.4*

I love my Fellow Aiden, this app does a lot really well. I like the granularity and ability to specify temperatures and pulse numbers/times.

I generally enjoy dialling in coffees I’ve sourced myself so
I don’t mind not having drops in the UK.

The one feature I’d love is a ‘Brew Now’ option in the app. Quite often I leave the machine setup for babysitters and I have to try and predict what time they’d like the coffee ready for. If I’m wrong I have to then use the app and set the brew time for 15 minutes time, then pray it syncs. 

Please add a brew now option! I don’t want to spend another 10 minutes of a concert or meal out describing how to use the dial, find the right profile etc…

### 2/5 — Works fine but so much potential

*2026-07-24, version 1.4.4*

No brew now option from the app, can’t tell if the schedule is going to run without error without looking at the actual coffee maker. 
This app has a lot of potential but leaves so much to be desired.

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2026-07-23, version 1.4.4*

Why? You can’t start it from the profile screen? Or anywhere in the app??? I was trying to think of an analogy for this stupidity but literally couldn’t think of anything as dumb. Just dumb. And a coffee maker this amazing and you ruin it with something this dumb????? Wow. Just wow. Shameless stupidity by the devs of this app.

### 1/5 — Where’s an update?

*2026-07-13, version 1.4.4*

Turns off my scheduled brews constantly. Which is basically the whole point of the app. So it’s pretty useless software.

### 3/5 — Works but needs some love

*2026-07-12, version 1.4.4*

Schedule seems to only work if you turn it on the day before. Wish it just had a “Brew Now” feature, I could see myself using that function over a scheduled brew.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-07-11, version 1.4.4*

App is terrible. Locks up all the time. Keeps needing to be reinstalled

### 1/5 — Confusing instructions….

*2026-06-26, version 1.4.3*

I just purchased a new Stagg EKG Kettle and the instructions only direct you to “update the Kettle with Fellow app”. Well I downloaded the app and after multiple attempts to get it working and trying to figure out why the kettle wouldn’t connect, you learn through Google that the Kettle doesn’t work with the Fellow app. Instead you have to download a separate app called “EKG Updater”. For how good Fellow’s branding and products are I would assume a QR code, better instructions in the wrong app and the instruction manual, and a single app experience would be something they would strive for.

### 4/5 — Fellow’s hardware is great! Their software is just “fine”

*2026-06-13, version 1.4.3*

Fellow product hardware is some of the best, most intentional product design out there in the coffee space. Their software gets the job done, and looks like they’ve finally—after years of owning an Aiden—started fixing some of the worst, most annoying bugs in the software. And for that, I’m grateful!

One request, it’d be amazing if I could add notes to my profiles (like special grind settings or other little extra details). And if those could be stored locally, or via iCloud rather than on fellows servers that’d be great.

### 1/5 — Total garbage

*2026-06-13, version 1.4.3*

Why on earth do we need an app to make coffee? Only in SF would they ruin the entire experience by creating a ridiculously complex coffeemaker that you can’t even use properly because the app refuses to link to the coffee maker & the manual controls are terrible.
