Recommended to anyone who is serious about their DripCoffee. **Developer response:** Thanks so much! ### 5/5 — Great app! Beautiful graphical interface. Easy to use. *2024-01-06* Easy to use, beautiful graphical interface and helps make amazing, consistent coffee for both the amateur or professional coffee brewer. **Developer response:** Appreciate the review! ### 5/5 — So Much Control! *2023-12-07* This app allows the user to exercise so much control over their brews. It's amazing how simply changing quantity of water and when your pour it changes the profile of the coffee. It's a fun way to alter tastes without changing grind size, water temperature, or equipment. Highly recommended! **Developer response:** Thanks so much! Kasuya really deserves the credit for the technique. My app just attempts to make using it as user-friendly and approachable as possible. ### 5/5 — Still awesome *2023-11-27* I really love this app. I am going to try V2 and enjoy it even more. **Developer response:** Thanks so much! I hope you like the new features. ### 5/5 — Use FourSix 365 *2023-11-26, version 2.1.0* I use FourSix 365 every day and create several perfect cups of a favorite roast. I love being able to experiment with my pours and repeat the ones I love. ### 5/5 — Does the trick *2023-11-24, version 2.1.0* Beautiful and simple, does all calculations for me and makes my pour over a breeze! ### 5/5 — v2 is a major improvement *2023-11-24* I’ve been using the app for years now and was initially confused by the v2 redesign. After figuring out how to enter “pro” mode with the help of the friendly developer/owner of the app (hit the tiny dropdown arrow at the top of the screen), I can say that v2 provides more and better options for controlling my brew and it delights me to use! **Developer response:** Hi there. Sounds like you previously had FourSix Pro in v1. In v2, there is a “Guided” mode which is free, and a “Pro” mode that is paid, but if you were previously Pro in v1, it transfers to v2. All the functionality of Pro v1 is included in v2. To access it, you simply need to click the center drop down menu at the top where the little down arrow is. V2 doesn’t have a slider anymore, but you can still set the amount to any amount you want and make quick large adjustments by tapping the “Edit” button to type in any amount you want. Hope this helps, and don’t hesitate to reach out using the feedback button in the app! - Jon ### 5/5 — A “no brain required” tool *2023-11-23* As a longtime (30 yrs) pourover guy that has kept current on forums and YT, I didn’t think I needed an app to tell me the doses and time/volume of pours. BUT, how fun and easy it is! And of your plus don't drain ‘in time’ that is your cue to adjust grind size. I don’t use it everyday, but as a benchmark for new beans, still use it a couple times a month. Love it. ### 5/5 — v2 is a major improvement *2023-11-22* I’ve been using the app for year now and was initially confused by the v2 redesign.

I’m telling you you’ll get the most consistent cup every time. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-11-21, version 2.1.0* Love this app. Very useful. ### 5/5 — Morning companion *2023-11-21* FourSix helps me very morning to make great coffee and to compare different brews. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Good app *2023-11-20* Needs an option to edit notes, made a mistake with my measurements and can’t fix it now **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion. Notes work by recording the values used when you start the timer. The idea was that it should be an accurate record of what was used. If you made a mistake though, that is understandable. I’ll consider adding more flexibility in the future to make edits to the recorded values after completing a brew. ### 5/5 — Transformed my coffee *2023-11-19, version 2.1.0* And transformed my understanding of brewing. Not only is my coffee better, but it can be tailored to taste and volume easily. ### 5/5 — Daily Use *2023-11-11* Makes recipe adjustments so simple, easily adjusting variables, and the app takes care of all the timing and math. I’ve used FourSix everyday for a couple years, and am very happy with the latest major update. Even more efficient workflow and options to add notes and track settings easily. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-11-08, version 2.0.1* Super helpful and intuitive way to manage your brews! ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-11-05, version 2.0.1* I love this app. I’ve used it for over a year, and it helps me easily get my ratios ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Kein tetsu *2023-02-11* Falsche interpretation der 4:6-methode und fehlerhafte mengenangaben. Für den preis kann man sich mehr mühe geben. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the review, but I’m a bit confused about your claim that it’s an incorrect interpretation of 4:6. I’d be happy to look over any suggestions you have or sources where Tetsu provides a different recipe than what I have in the app. Please send your feedback to jon@foursixcoffeeapp.com. ### 2/5 — Pushing subscription for features *2025-06-03, version 2.6.1* Pushes subscription, upgrade to pro just to use basic timer. Would be willing to pay upfront for straightforward app ### 3/5 — It was better before! *2023-12-26* It’s got a nice new UI now. But the simplicity before was great. And now the ‘brew’ vs ‘pro’ modes- it defaults to ‘brew’ mode so I have to do a few more taps every single time I open it to get to ‘pro’ mode. It’d be one thing if it just had one mode and defaulted to 20g. But now it does that *and* I have to change modes. Kind of annoying. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The fact that the brew mode kept getting reset to guided was a bug that slipped in on the 2.2 update. I’ve since released a fix for that. So it should load the previous set mode now. If you have any other feedback please feel free to send it to jon@foursixcoffeeapp.com. I’m always very receptive to ideas for improvements. ### 4/5 — Dynamic Island *2025-10-27, version 2.7.1* Can you use the Dynamic Island, so that we can know the pour while we open a different app? ### 4/5 — Great update to the app *2023-09-27, version 2.0.0* Wonderful new look. I’ve tried many apps and keep coming back to this one. Love the new tracking feature Wonder if a couple of things can be implemented -Type in a value amount with the option to +\- -have a receipt go to 30oz or 850.49g -have the timer continue pass the set time. This is helpful especially with recording a certain brew… it it takes longer to brew, it currently does not allow that to be in the stats Thank you again for this great improvement in your app. It’s great! ### 4/5 — Total Time *2022-11-09* I wish we could see total time elapsed even if paused on the free version. Nice app nevertheless **Developer response:** Hey thanks for the review. If you like having more control and dialing in your brew, unlocking Pro lets you turn off the auto advancing timer. When your drawdown time exceeds your set interval time, the progress color turns red and the timer continues counting. So you’ll know exactly how long both your interval and total time really is. Feel free to reach out if you need any more help. ### 5/5 — Master the 4:6 Method with Ease! *2026-05-03* Based on your prompt, here is a polished version of the review you can use for the app store. I’ve structured it to highlight how the app translates complex coffee theory into practical skills. ## Master the 4:6 Method with Ease! ★★★★★ **The ultimate companion for your morning brew.** This coffee app has increased my brew skills and coffee knowledge by tenfold! Before using this, trying to track the math and timing for Tetsu Kasuya’s 4:6 method was a headache, but this app makes it completely effortless. **What I love:** * **Instant Calculations:** You just pick your coffee weight and flavor preference (sweet vs. bright), and it handles all the math for the 4:6 split automatically. * **Perfect Timing:** The built-in timer tells you exactly when to pour and how much water to add, which has made my consistency skyrocket. * **Worth Every Penny:** This app is absolutely worth the money I spent on it. It’s rare to find a tool that actually makes you better at your hobby this quickly. If you’re serious about pour-over and want to dial in your brews like a pro, get this app—you won’t regret it! Since you've been using the app to master the 4:6 method, have you started keeping notes on your different coffee bags in the app, or are you mostly using it for the timer and ratio help? **Developer response:** I’m choosing to take this review at face value and that the sentiment is genuine and from a real person despite the fact it was written by AI. So thank you for the review! ### 5/5 — My favorite coffee timer! *2025-11-09, version 2.7.1* No unnecessary UI frills, to the point and the correct control to make a perfect pour. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-10-16* If you want consistent coffee and the ability to keep track of small tweaks without the guesswork, this is the app! **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Best pour over timer app *2025-06-05* If you’re a coffee nerd like me, this app will be a god send to help you track and brew perfect cups every single morning. Each thoughtful update brings ease and sophistication to my uncaffeinated mornings. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind review! ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lightweight, functional, tweakable *2025-03-08* Everything I could ask for. Always happier to support home brew projects than corporate ones. If it weren’t for this app I probably could never be bothered to try the 4:6 method. Also, the developer is an incredibly awesome human being. Went out of their way to accommodate me, despite my objections due to my use case being very narrow. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind review. Always happy to receive feedback and ideas on where things could be improved. I actually think your use case wasn’t that narrow, as I find myself making small tweaks to the amount of coffee sometimes too. The stepper is definitely ideal for that, so I’m glad you reached out because I think it’s an improvement for everyone! ### 5/5 — Notes Feature is excellent *2024-09-07* Have been using this app for a long time now. The notes feature is life changing! haha **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and for sticking with me for so long 😄 ### 5/5 — Simple and straight forward *2024-07-17* Simple, concise app, easy repeatability for coffee **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the app. ### 5/5 — Thank you for the great app! *2024-05-04, version 2.3.2* I was an early adopter and I’m still using it today! ### 5/5 — Essential for pour over fans *2024-02-02* Perfectly designed UI, clear, concise, indispensable part of my pour over routine. **Developer response:** Appreciate the review. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2024-01-18, version 2.2.2* Makes my pour over experience super easy! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
