Please just give us an option to purchase the app without ads. ### 4/5 — Top mais ! *2026-03-17* Je pense que cette application est vraiment une bonne base pour déterminer les différentes parts d’ingrédients. Cependant, il serait intéressant d’avoir un glossaire mathématique qui montre les formule employées pour avoir vraiment une encyclopédie de la pâte. De plus certains paramètres sont figées mais pas modifiable ni expliqué comme la levure par exemple On explique pas pourquoi tant de gramme si tant d’heure à TA ou TC, si tant de gramme etc Je pense que si on corrige ça Ça sera le must to have ### 3/5 — Needs tweaking *2025-07-05, version 1.9.6* Been making pizza professionally for a while and always use cold fermentation with consistently great results. Now that I’m getting much busier and running out of fridge space, I need to cut proofing time down. Followed this calculator using IDY for a 24 hr RT rise at 68 degrees F and dough did not rise as expected. The taste was there, but the crust was flatter than I’m used to. I did notice in settings that you can adjust yeast recommendations up or down, but then what’s the point of using a calculator? I keep a very thorough log of my dough making process, so for me, trying to take the guess work out of it, this app was not what I was hoping for. ### 5/5 — Invalable tool for making pizza at home *2025-04-21, version 1.9.6* My dough amount changes depending on guest count and also my time availability is not the same ever time we decide to make pizza. This app resolves all these recipe questions and is super accurate. Thanks to the team that created it!!! ### 5/5 — Super, läuft stabil auf iPhone 12, sehr zu empfehlen *2025-03-30* Nutze diese App bereits seit circa zwei Jahren. Ich bin nur Hobby-Pizzabäcker. Die vorgeschlagenen Zutatenmengen für die anvisierte Teigmenge waren bei mir immer zufrieden stellend. Seit kurzem versuche ich mich an Sauerteig (-Brot und Pizza). Mal sehen wie ich die App dabei nutzen kann. Schaut ruhig mal in die Untermenües rein, da sind noch ein paar nützliche Funktionen versteckt z. B. Teigmengenberechnung für verschieden große/ geformte Bleche. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-01-05, version 1.9.5* Even a fool like me can make good pizza with this app. It’s free, which is amazing. But it’s aggressive with active internet checks, if it thinks it doesn’t have internet access it will soft lock, even though I’ve done nothing to prevent the app from accessing the internet and serving ads. But it is free, maybe they can’t afford a dev to fix that problem. ### 4/5 — Génial mais… *2024-11-14* La meilleure app. Mais ce qui serait vraiment top ça serait d’avoir un calcul de la levure qui fasse la distinction entre le pointage (en masse) et le levage (après boulage). Car c’est sensiblement différent… ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2024-09-15, version 1.9.5* Use this every single time I make pizza. So easy, the perfect app. ### 5/5 — Top *2024-08-25* Wir nutzen die App um Pizzn mit verschiedenen Hydration auszuprobieren und sind sehr zufrieden damit. Einfach eingeben was man haben will und schon spuckt er die Zutaten aus. Auch praktisch ist das speichern der Einstellungen mit versehen von Bilder. Benützte Rezepte nochmal zu ändern, also Notizen wäre nicht schlecht. Sonst einwandfrei. ### 2/5 — OK *2024-08-24, version 1.9.5* Works if you weigh your salt and yeast on a coke scale. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-08-16, version 1.9.5* Once you understand how to use it, then it becomes your recipe bible ### 5/5 — Thoughtfully created *2024-06-25, version 1.9.5* Love how you can toggle variables, always-on mode, etc. Clearly made by someone who loves making pizza. A diastatic malt powder option would be great. ### 5/5 — Doing all of us a great service. *2024-05-10, version 1.9.5* Thank you for going out of your way to make this great tool. It’s straight to the point and extremely helpful with developing my new dough recipe. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — GDPR Bug *2026-08-06, version 1.9.7* Finally gave up on this app used to be great but now I unusable it’s totally bricked for me with a message saying you are using VPN or Blocking Ads which I am no, there is no way for me to fix this my side I have no issues with a few ads but no settings I can change to make this work. Developer seems to ignore others in reviews here that say the same ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-07-18, version 1.9.7* Can’t use the app because the devs are obsessed with ad revenue, some BS about GDPR even though I can’t opt out of targeted ads anywhere in the app. They should just fix this and let people use it on a VPN or airplane mode. I’ll go elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Costs monthly *2026-03-02, version 1.9.7* It’s a .99c monthly recurring fee. ### 1/5 — GDPR *2025-12-21, version 1.9.6* Doesn’t work with an active pi-hole. App falsely claims GDPR cannot be accepted or rejected because of blocked ads. ### 1/5 — Won’t work without activity tracking *2025-10-30, version 1.9.6* When I asked the app not to track my activity across other devices after installation, it locked the app with an error message telling me I was bad for not accepting their data gathering. No way to use the app without personalized ads, so no thank you. ### 1/5 — You are on your own *2025-05-02, version 1.9.6* There are only measurements on this app. There are no directions whatsoever. Good luck? ### 1/5 — I’m not looking for my pizza app to say I have bad behavior for not installing their adware. Sorry. *2025-04-10, version 1.9.6* Moralize elsewhere. It’s a calculator app. ### 1/5 — Shady practice. *2024-04-23, version 1.9.5* Moved to a different app (ooni), dev has made it clear you have no right to privacy. I control what enters my network not you. Claims it’s for GDPR but also claims no data is collected or stored. Make no mistake this is about ad revenue under the guise of GDPR. ### 1/5 — App won’t work without complaining about ad blockers *2024-04-22, version 1.9.5* After iOS 17 the app doesn’t work. After the latest bug fixes April 2024 update, it now complains about ad blockers and dns and vpns. I use all the above to keep my devices safe from my data being collected, and bad ads serving malware. I tried turning everything off and it still complains. Why does an offline app with internal calculations need internet connectivity? If I could give it less stars than 1 I would. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2024-04-20, version 1.9.5* Used to love this app however now I get an error when opening the app saying that my ad locker is preventing the app from accessing the internet. It appears my pinhole is blocking the app from calling home, which is a shame. Not sure why this app would require a constant internet connection. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-06-30, version 1.9.7* Amazing app. Works very well. Makes pizza making easy. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-05-12, version 1.9.7* This app takes the quest work out of time and temperature. Those two items should be considered as ingredients as the are just as important as flour and water. ### 5/5 — Perfect pizza every time *2026-04-17, version 1.9.7* I love this app, I use a sourdough starter mostly but sometimes we don’t have the time! You can switch up to make sure you get the dough ready for any timings or yeast you have, so flexible. Only improvement I would make is a basic instructions in the help section for those new to making pizza: timings for kneading, bulk proofing, dividing in to balls, second proof etc. Ken Forkish is your man for a pizza recipe in my opinion, enjoy! ### 5/5 — Awesome Pizza App *2026-04-01, version 1.9.7* I have been using this app for quite some time. I am a pan pizza type and glad it has the pan option. Several option in the settings and can even save recipes. This is definitely a top pizza app and it’s free. However, I wouldn’t mind supporting an ad free version. ### 5/5 — Beste Pizza App *2026-01-06* Super zufrieden wenn man mal durchgestiegen ist. Nutze ich alle paar Tage und kann dann schauen was ich brauche je nach dem wie viel Vorlaufzeit ich noch habe wenn’s auch mal spontan sein soll. Super Hilfe klappt klasse. Danke! ### 5/5 — Perfection *2025-10-03, version 1.9.6* I have finally perfected pizza dough through the calculations of this app. I could have never done it without this. I love the added bonus of being able to save and name all the different recipes (ratios) I’m putting together. I love being able to keep track of weight of 1 dough, hydration, and type of flour I’m using. Thank you to whoever came up with this App! ### 5/5 — Met *2025-09-05, version 1.9.6* This is not only the best pizza app on the market, but I can’t live without it. It makes making pizza especially Neapolitan so easy to the creators of this app. I love you very much. ### 5/5 — Incontournable *2025-05-24* Je ne fais jamais de pâte sans PizzApp ### 5/5 — Great tool *2025-05-19, version 1.9.6* As you develop your dough it’s great to have an easy reference tool that allows you to reset your starting points, this allows for better consistency on your journey. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Indispensable tool *2025-05-09, version 1.9.6* What you should know is that this is less a recipe app than it is a yeast calculator. There are many variables you can throw at it including different kinds of fermentation- cold or room temperature as well as defining how long you will ferment in these fermentations. It uses bakers percentage to calculate your salt, fat, water, and flour. So, it’s helping you to build YOUR recipe, rather than it giving you a recipe.
