Helped me figure out what I was doing wrong!

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.

Paywall

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!

Not for beginners

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.

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.

Pay Wall & Annoying Pop-Up

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.

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!

Don’t pay

Can’t cancel my free trial

Please include metric weight measurements in the recipes.

Amazing

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

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!

Something is broken

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

What happened?

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

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!!

Nothing works

This app came highly recommended, and I was excited to use it to help perfect my craft.

Unfortunately even after paying for the subscription nothing it working. I cannot chat with the bot, I cannot scan my bread or upload a picture.

Very disappointing and I’m not sure how to get my money back

Response from developer

Hey PNGWoods! We had an outage yesterday that caused our service to become temporarily unavailable. All issues have been resolved and things are back up and working as expected! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else!

Help

When I scan, it says that I have invalid credit. I paid the subscription amount and it says that I have access to all of the premium capabilities. I can’t find anywhere on your app. To fix this problem please help.

Response from developer

Hey Pip! Are you still having issues? I believe we resolved your issue via email. Please don’t hesitate to reach back out if you’re having any more problems!

App not reliable

Not user friendly AI already does much of this work that is free

App

This app is not free! I was only able to use it once. When I just tried, it is making me sign up for the subscription. 😡

Chat GPT is better and free

This app requires a paid subscription, it’s cheap enough so I tried it. For a month straight it said the exact same thing every single time I scanned starter vs discard jar (they look completely different on top). Every loaf was the same score and description. I believe someone started the app as a money grab with little to no knowledge regarding sourdough. Disappointing to say the least, waste of money to say the most. Use google images for free or chat got FOR FREE

Hey Bakeddaily! Really sorry to hear the app wasn’t to expectation. We’re always refining and iterating on the models we use for analyzing images. Appreciate the feedback and hope you’ll try again at another time. We have another big update planned!

Yea but no

The app cool but if you have celiac’s, theres no gluten free settings in the scan section to give you the fully complete diagnosis of your own gf sourdough starter. The app is still helpful but I kinda feel like I wasted my money since I got the app to help me with my first starter in the first place to see if I’m doing ok with it.

Hey LilMomma405! Thanks for the feedback. That’s a really good point. We’ll take it back and look into incorporating into our next release.

Unreliable

I scanned 3 different moldy starters and it rated 2 of them pretty high and the one that it rated low was only from a lack of visible bubbles. All 3 were different starters from different people and clear pictures.

Response from developer

Hey Krose194! Thanks for the feedback. We’re working to refine the models we use. Hope to have an update out shortly that should address more nuanced concerns such as these. Please continue to let us know how we can improve!

A kitchen essential!

I’ve been looking for an app like this. Finally landed on this one and sticking with it. Sourdough is a science and an art. This helps so much

Good for all bakers!

And it’s really fun to use. Been a useful addition to my repertoire

You literally only get one scan.

You get one single scan, everything else is locked behind paywalls. The feedback would be great if I could actually compare the before/after.

Response from developer

Hey B.LO.17! We offer a free, 7-day trial with full access to all features. You’re free to cancel anytime during the trial period without being charged. We hope you’ll try the app again and give it another shot!

This was the most helpful

I hate paying for apps. I never know if they will work as advertised but this one does. I’ve been trying in vain to make sourdough. Not knowing why my bread wasn’t coming out correctly. This app helped me with my starter and with the recipes I’ve been successful everytime I’ve used this app. I’m over the moon.
