Great App and Updates
Recommendations:
- schedules should default to the user default for Fahrenheit/Celsius when entering a segment.
- the firing schedule graph always starts at zero but in actuality your kiln temp is the current room temp. Being able to set a start temp would help with full scheduling planning.
Excellent app
I do wish there was a way to import inventory from a CSV. I’m maintaining it right now in google sheets and cannot imagine re-entering it all on my iPad or phone.
Loses projects!
Apple sign in not working

Hiya. Thanks for reporting this. This looks like a recent problem, but I can absolutely reproduce the problem, so I'll look at it and try to get it fixed just as fast as possible. In the meantime, the 'sign in with google' provider is still working, or if you'd rather, you can simply sign-up with any email address and password of your choice. If you let me know your email address (contact me via the contact details on the app store entry), then I'll let you know what I find out. Thanks for trying Kiln Helper! -- Jules
Not very good
It asks you to enter a kiln but won’t let you change the manufacturer from Paragon. Strike one.
It asks you to enter the glass type but won’t let you change it from Bullseye. Strike two.
Not sure if I want to invest any more time here.

Hi LemurianG. I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble. The app should certainly work just fine on an iPad, and although I can never say that there aren't ANY bugs, I'm pretty confident this isn't one of them. The only thing that's in common with the two problems you report is that they're both drop-down selections. These work in the standard way on iPads and iPhones - you click on the item you want to change (the word 'Paragon', or 'Bullseye' in your example). At the bottom of the screen, a scrolling picker will appear - you drag on that to scroll the list until the one you want is in the middle (highlighted in a different grey), and then press 'Done' (or, actually... just click outside of the picker). I'm afraid I've checked, and I can't reproduce the problem on my iPad, or my Phone. Is it possible that you clicked, and didn't notice the picker appear at the bottom? If you'd like any more help, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me - there are details on how to contact me on the 'App Support' link directly to the right of the 'Write A Review' button that you clicked to write your review. I'm sure we can get you through this - I can absolutely confirm that it is possible to select different options in the drop-downs, and thousands of active projects on KilnHelper attest to it. -- Jules
