- Fix app crash — removes a buggy feature (swipe to advance stage) that seems to have been causing app crashes for a number of users. (Once I can fully debug the issue, I'll try to get the feature back out, but I wanted to fix the app crashes for users ASAP.) - Improved crash logs to help with debugging future issues - Swipe left/right on the "In Progress" picker to more quickly switch between "Ideas", "In Progress", and "Completed" sections

My go-to pottery tracker

Not as feature-rich as some, but I like how quickly i can enter pieces and track them through firing. The tagging is as you would expect it. Once i got my studio glazes set up, it’s fast and I can record pieces on the fly so I don’t forget them. This app has never crashed on me. I like how it stores photos separately from the phone’s library.
My main wish/suggestion is that there were a way to make the default home view customizable by tags. I keep track of my bad work, but would prefer to mostly see my better recent work in the initial screen. Would save time when searching for references and glaze combos. Thank you for a really great tool!

Loving Perch Pot!

I’ve just started using Perch Pot and I am LOVING it! It’s easy to use and enables such a comprehensive view of what you’re working on.

I’ve been taking pictures of my work through all stages. This app lets me save them so no need to scroll through months and months of photos to see which glaze I may have used.

So handy

I’m really enjoying using this app to track my pottery projects. I needed something to help me keep track of all the different stages my projects were in so that I wouldn’t forget them - and this does that easily, simply, clearly, and effectively. I like being able to had photos and to have my catalog of glazes, clays and techniques saved and easily added to each project. Thank you for providing this useful app, I really appreciate it.

Hard to use for me

Not sure why but it’s difficult to use.

Keeps crashing and not responsive

The app has been crashing for no apparent reason. I don’t even have many photos but it crashes or becomes unresponsive after i have it open for more than a minute or so. I’m sorry but I cannot use it the way it is now, it’s buggy.
