### 5/5 — 3+ years and counting!

*2026-07-16, version 1.0.8*

I hope this app never goes away cause it’s by far my favorite for tracking all of my pots! No crazy drop-down menus to create, my pots never disappear from the app, and I can put notes wherever I want. Love the search feature and though I do wish it wasn’t case sensitive, but it’s not a deal breaker!

### 1/5 — Everything in log lost

*2026-02-26, version 1.0.8*

So devastated - everything in the log is gone when I updated phones - it didn’t back up to the iCloud - just disappeared - five years of work gone

### 4/5 — Helps me remember all my pieces in progress

*2025-05-15, version 1.0.8*

I love that this app helps me keep track of all my pieces and what stage of the process they are at. I have one suggestion though. I would love to be able to organize my finished pieces so I can easily find what I want, or have the ability to ‘favorite’ my pieces so I can quickly access them without scrolling through all my finished pieces.

### 4/5 — Searching feature issues, but overall a great app so far

*2024-06-02, version 1.0.8*

So far I’m enjoying most features of the app and the ability to keep notes and photos of each piece together. It is so much simpler to be able to take photos with my phone and immediately organize, as well as easily compare glaze uses and combinations.

A few issues I have run into: 

The thumbnail for each piece is automatically the last photo added. 

The search feature is dependent on capitalization. You will get different results if you search a word in lowercase vs uppercase.

### 4/5 — Love this app!

*2023-02-28, version 1.0.8*

So helpful and well-organized. Really love not having a million photos on my camera that I have to scroll through to find what I need! A few requests:
—When you take a photo in the app, you can’t choose which portion of it to display. You can zoom but not choose what area gets zoomed in on. 
—When you search for something (eg “mug”) and then click on one of the results to look at the details and then click the back button, it clears your search. Please keep the search filter on! 
—Would love to see a stage added between bisqued and glazed. Right now I get my bisqued items and sometimes wait to glaze them which means there’s no differentiation between things that are actively bisquing and things that are finished bisquing but not yet glazed.

### 4/5 — Wonderful app, with one fix!

*2022-09-08, version 1.0.8*

This app is so great and simple for tracking my pots at my community studio- I now know when I put something on the glaze shelf and thus which pots to look for when the kiln gets unloaded, and how long it’s been since I’ve thrown a piece /how long I have before it needs to be trimmed! My favorite feature is the search, so I can search a glaze and see all the pots I’ve used that glaze on. This feature does need one small fix, though! It is case sensitive, so if I sometimes capitalize the name of a glaze and sometimes don’t, I have to search both capitalized and not to see all the pots. This is especially frustrating with glazes with two word names. It would be great if that change could be made! 

In a dream world, it would be so cool if there was a way to add friends on the app, so that friends at my studio and I could easily share glaze combination learnings!

### 3/5 — Love this app but cannot back up

*2022-08-29, version 1.0.8*

I have had this app successfully back up once, when I was switching from an android to an iPhone. After that I have been unable to. I have nearly 1800 photos but I have plenty of backup space to dropbox and I have plenty of room on my phone so that should be a no-brainer. I have contacted Jess before, The creator of the app and she has been incredibly responsive, but as of late I have not heard back from her.

### 5/5 — Useful!

*2021-05-17*

This app is great, super useful especially for taking photos before and after glaze firing. I haven’t had any issues with it. So far the only odd thing is that it wants to use the top of a vertical photo only. Also it would be nice to be able to organize and categorize each entry. But overall so much better than photos alone or paper notes.

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2021-02-06, version 1.0.6*

Am going to delete this app. It freezes on both devices and didn’t record my photos.

### 1/5 — Export???

*2020-12-06, version 1.0.6*

Exporting does NOT work!!!!! It goes STRAIGHT TO WALMART!!!! What DECEPTIVE measures from the developer!!!
