### 4/5 — …now what?

*2026-06-21*

Get feedback. Love the tips. But there’s no follow-up. “…this will help determine the best time to feed…” “ok, then what?” Make me a schedule I can put in my phone to tell me what to do AND WHEN. And how about remembering/logging what I was told to do/did last time and building upon that. Seems like each scan thinks it’s a new starter each day… this is an ongoing process. What me through it. $30/yr isn’t expensive, but I get all my other info/help for free so……

### 5/5 — Helped me figure out what I was doing wrong!

*2026-05-25*

The app (especially scans and ensuing tips) helped me figure out where, when, what I needed to adjust to get better rise out of my sourdough and helped me learn to recognize signs on my own.

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2026-04-07, version 6.0.0*

I hate when apps don’t advertise a subscription based service in the photos or descriptions— not to mention the paywall keeps popping up with a timer. NAH buh-bye!

### 1/5 — Not for beginners

*2026-03-07*

This was advertised as a helper for beginners, starting with the starter. All this is is a recipe database. There’s 1 starter recipe, that’s it. Not worth the money. Because of the false advertising, I contacted support through the website (there are no account options in the app to cancel or contact) and have bo heard back. I want a full refund due to the false advertising, AND it overcharged me by $13 compared to the advertised price.

**Developer response:** Hey there! We responded to your email and messages, but they might’ve gone to spam. We’re really sorry to hear the app wasn’t to expectation. But it’s much more than just a journal! You’re able to scan, rate, and chat about your sourdough starter, dough, and loaves as well. Not to mention free calculators.

We hope you’ll try us again! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions.

### 1/5 — Pay Wall & Annoying Pop-Up

*2026-02-25*

This is the most annoying app I have ever downloaded in my entire life. Despite not being mentioned in the description, you do have to pay a subscription for all of the features, aside from recipes. Recipes are the only thing you can access free. At first, it appears like you can use it without a subscription, but everything you click on results in a pop-up, trying to force you into the sub subscription. Apparently the developer does not understand that there has to be something I love about the app for me to want to try out the upgraded features. But overall, it’s absolutely annoying. The pop-up that comes up has a little countdown, and you must look at the premium upgrade until it counts all the way down. You cannot just close it immediately. And it persistently pops up. I can get recipes on the Internet. There’s absolutely no reason to use this app. And if there’s no reason to use it, there’s definitely no reason to upgrade.

**Developer response:** Hi Bobette134! Thanks so much for the feedback! In case you missed it, we offer a free trial of all features so that you can try everything before committing. We also offer feeding calculators for free and are actively working on improving the free suite of tools.

That being said, the AI-powered tools are expensive for us to run, so we’re unable to make them free. We’re hoping costs will drop as model performance improves!

We hope you’ll try the app again in the future!

### 1/5 — Don’t pay

*2026-02-22, version 5.3.0*

Can’t cancel my free trial

### 3/5 — Recipes in grams

*2026-01-19, version 5.2.0*

Please include metric weight measurements in the recipes.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-31*

I've been making sourdough for years but this app is a game changer. And so is their customer service. I was having an issue and they were prompt in fixing it and letting me know they fixed it. Now my loaves 10/10 every time

**Developer response:** Hey leedc2790! We recently experienced an outage in our service. Everything should be back up! Please reach out to https://noworrieslifestyle.com/contact if you have any other issues!

### 3/5 — Something is broken

*2025-12-27*

It won't let me ask any questions, even though I pay for the app. It tells me I have an invalid credit? It also has a weird entry for the journal. It asks for the starter ratio, but in decimal? I don't know how to fill that in and I can't ask the chat but

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2025-11-30*

I love this app and use it all the time. Unfortunately, my starter died when I was on vacation.. Now that I have a new starter going, I’m trying to use it again, it’s not able to scan pictures. I tried to do the chat to see if I could get some help, but it doesn’t answer me. I do pay for the app so if it no longer is gonna be able to scan pictures, I’d like to find out about canceling my subscription

**Developer response:** Hey mrsjoshd! We experienced an outage on Sunday for a few hours that has since been resolved! Please let us know if you continue to have issues. Thanks again!!
