Thanks for giving Freeze Dry Buddy a shot, and congratulations on the new machine. We are genuinely sorry it locked up on you right out of the gate. After you log a batch, the app shows a short celebration popup, and on some devices that popup could fail to close and trap you, exactly as you described. We have tracked it down and a fix is on the way in the next update. We would love for you to stick with us. Please give it another try when the update arrives, and thank you for taking the time to tell us what happened.
Batch times out too fast
I knew I would be away from the freeze dryer for an extended period of time so I added an extra 24 hours dry time knowing I would have time to package it the next day. Yes, it’s a waste of time and electricity I am fully aware, but here is where my issue was found. When I went back to the app this morning before work to confirm that no additional weight had been lost over the last day planning on packaging over my lunch hour. it would not allow me to log an additional weight. It only allowed me to cancel the cycle or finish the cycle. It really needs an option to continue the cycle.
Edited to add: Once this is corrected I will absolutely be giving 5 stars.

I like what I see so far

We’re excited to have you here! There’s a lot to learn with freeze drying, and we're building Freeze Dry Buddy to make that process easier step by step. -Brandon
Great addition
One thing I would really love to see improved is the pantry option for bag counts. Right now, it seems set up as a simple 1 tray = 1 bag situation, but that doesn’t always work in real life. For example, I had a couple trays that needed 1.5 bags each, so 2 trays ended up making 3 bags total. I couldn’t really find a good way to account for that in the app, so my pantry count is off.
Aside from that, it’s been helpful so far, especially for someone just starting out with freeze drying.
