Fix update

I’ve done over 25 brews with this app. Works great! Ever since the update though, the timer stops working properly. Once I leave the app and come back, the timer is frozen at whatever time I left at and won’t fix.

Mostly good...

Good enough to use on brew day. Still a little buggy so some things don't save or update and force restarting the app might help. Small ask would be to have the option of simple lines on the fermentation tracking graph, rather than filled areas that make it harder to see. Big ask would be a more open API for data.

Crashes constantly

It’s required to get the Grainfather to brew, however the app constantly crashes or loses connection to the GF device. The old app never had this problem… very annoying having to restart resume the session multiple times per brew. 🤨

Why is this app so hard to use?

I have a G40 to simplify my brew day. The last time I used this app about 2 months ago it was okay, now I can’t even figure out how to start a brew session.

Buggy

When it works it’s great but it is just so delicate and buggy and change on your phone just kills it. This often happens mid brew day
