Complete waste of time

Horrible app with no real purpose. Asks you to create an account! Why do you even need my email?
I was dumb enough to create an account. I have no clue how I could delete it.
The worst part is the app has no real features and the features that exist are horribly designed!
My bad for not checking reviews first!

Love interface, but...

every time I try to log a measurement, the app crashes and I lose the data. Calculations work.

Edit: logging works now. Updated to 5 stars.

Sleek - Easy to use

As a former barista using this for my at home setup, it was exactly what I was looking for. It’s a clean, sleek app that’s easy to use and does exactly what it says it does. The dark mode is beautiful and my tired pre-coffee eyes appreciate it as well.

Gorgeous interface & useful tool

I am a coffee fanatic and coffee shop owner, my team and I use this app to help dial in our coffees especially when we have palette fatigue. It is always great to have this tool to make sure our coffees are properly extracted.

Beautiful & Accurate.

As the owner of a coffee shop, we dial in daily and being able to use this app simply & efficiently is awesome! And it is beautiful to boot. Highly recommend.

Updated review

Originally I called this app “okay “ with three stars. Here’s why I updated it to two stars-
Latest update deleted all my notes/recipe details. New notes are not saved at all. The title punctuation bug still exists. Normally, I would delete/reinstall app in attempt to fix it but this would probably delete all my entries. Per developers response, I contacted them via email but never received a response back. I understand this app is put out by a small group of coffee aficionados and do appreciate efforts.This is why I gave it two stars, not one. The app still calculates coffee extraction easily, and is free to use, but its usefulness stops there, without notes. Fortunately I have hand written notes to rely on. If the developers fix the apps failings I will be glad to further update this review.

(Original review)
App gets the minimum of jobs done in a nicely simple way. I use the Atago unit at home and don’t need competitions equipment/app cost or seeming complexity. Please fix the punctuation bug and allow more room in “notes” area (also- notes should have option to be visible on startup page). Recipes should be able to be re-ordered on same main page.

Response from developer

Hey fam, thanks for you feedback. Sorry we are a small team that offer this app for free bc we use it our selves, if you ever have input or suggestions please let us know and we can take care of those, that is what most of our users do. It is a streamlined app in comparison to our competitors bc we found that the most basic thing we used was the measuring aspect. Since we are small we try to respond to everyone who messages us & we want to provide a quality product. We will be releasing an iOS 13 Update and we trying to implement the suggestions on the Notes Input... Thanks again for using our app, we hope that it satisfies your needs better in this next release.

The best coffee app and it’s free

Use this every day for dialing in at Eightfold Coffee. Such a great app and great customer service

Great app but can’t find the notes

Hello!

First of all, I love your app. Thank you for making it. It’s the probably the most useful tool I have as a barista!

I have one issue though. I can’t view my notes that I input when entering my recipe. I’ve been writing down all the recipes in the notes and now cannot find them. Maybe I am just being blind. I have all my notes stored for all the coffees we have ever had in the cafe so if they are lost I’ll be quite disappointed.

How can I view them?

Thanks

Yes it’s free and not like VST

I own a VST refractometer and I found that paying 70$ for an application is ridiculous. This one make the basic parts but it’s all right! Thank you for this and looking for new features in the future!!

Ditching VST app for this

Really great aesthetic. Simple and easy to use. Forget the clunky VST app!
