### 4/5 — Good app simple needs a few things

*2024-01-28*

Good little app. Does the basics without having to login or anything. It’s quirky at times and with a bit of work could be simple and great. 

Pros
- follow the basic mead process well and does just enough to keep the basics 
- no logins or clubs to join
- gravity reading and tracking built into the process tracking

Cons
- needs photos of ingredients or just the brew
- segments primary from secondary screens and lists, just need one with a marker and filters 
- please add Kombucha to the list of things tracked along with ciders, Cyser, etc

### 1/5 — V2.2.1 not working
