User reviews

Doesn’t work

Can’t change starting gravity or volume. When I enter new number it always changes back to 1.048 and 11 gallons.

Works great on iPad

Well worth the $2.99. I’ve been using the desktop version that requires Abode Flash since it was developed. With Abode Flash being discontinued I bought this and it’s just as good as the desktop version.

What a waste of money

Really nothing to this app. Hard to use not much too it a huge waster of money

Works Great

I’m not sure why everyone has low rating of this. I find it works great, been using on my iPhone for years. Life saver when you’re at the store and find all they have is older yeast.

Too simple

Doesn’t allow dry yeast. Won’t allow multiple steps. Not worth the money. Disappointing.
