### 1/5 — What a Joke

*2025-01-08*

A 3 year old made this app.

### 2/5 — Great concept in theory

*2025-01-07*

This app is pretty, and is very needed for candlemakers, however it needs about 20 more hours of QA before it should be released to users. Adding “days” to the test leaves the burning time as “processing”. Adding new candles to test spins forever and then you realize they were adding in the background. I can’t believe anyone would pay real dollars for this in its current state.

### 2/5 — Great, until…

*2024-12-06*

Great concept, as several have said, until you need more tests and have to pay or upgrade. Simply put, I “upgraded” twice and both time it never registered that I did. I can literally no longer use the app. It won’t let me.

### 3/5 — Good Idea but needs work

*2024-10-24*

I’ve entered all my supplies into the app, but it’s impossible to create a test as I can’t enter a fragrance. For other supplies where my lists are only 3 or 4 items it works fine, but my Fragrance list is quite long, and the button to ‘Select’ is off the bottom of the screen with no way to get to it.

It’s also missing some basic functionality like being able to add Fragrance Blends & Give your Candle a name.

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2024-08-04*

The concept for this app is great. It is very easy to use. However, I cannot select a fragrance or a wick for my tests. I think it is because there is a glitch and lists for supplies have a maximum number. For example, in the supplies section, I entered five suppliers, and 7 types of vessels. But in the fragrance list and in the wicks list I entered many more items than that, and the app does not allow me to select from those lists when opening a test. Hope the glitch is solved soon!

### 5/5 — So helpful!!!

*2024-05-15*

This app is so helpful for keeping track & staying organized all in one convenient place!  I’m so forgetful so no more losing paper for me lol!!

### 5/5 — game changer for candle makers!

*2024-05-15*

this app is gold for new makers! it helped me get my new business up and running (huge challenge overcome)! the app is super user friendly and you can record practically everything a candle maker needs do during the testing phase! cannot recommend enough!!!!

### 5/5 — Finally! I needed this!

*2024-05-15*

Highly recommend for any candle maker. This makes it so much easier to manage my burn testing.

### 3/5 — Great idea, but does not consistently work

*2024-05-08*

I’m trying to use the app today for a burn test and I’m getting the spinning wheel of death. I did use it once prior successfully, so far it does not work consistently.

**Developer response:** Good Afternoon Why Weight. I am so sorry for the experience you had. We have just released a new version of the app, that should fix this issue. Please do not hesitate to email, hello@mycandletests.com if you have any other issue. We use this app everyday and are always trying to make it better. Thank you!
