### 3/5 — A shame it’s only in English

*2020-07-21*

So many soap calculator out there are multilingual. kind of surprising this one isn’t

### 3/5 — Wrong Data for Palm Kernal Flakes

*2020-03-18, version 1.5*

The values for Palm Kernal Flakes are incorrectly entered. All of the values are shifted down one space starting with iodine. It looks like it has a 227 for lauric, which would be insane! Ruins all of the recipes that include this oil. Hopefully they will fix in an update soon!

### 2/5 — NOT thesame as soap calc

*2020-03-02, version 1.5*

I don't like it.   It does not allow me to caculate Lye to water ratio....  hard to read too.  I wish i did not made the purches.

### 3/5 — I can’t find a list of recipes I saved

*2019-12-11*

I just purchased the app, I love how it works and suggest the safer recipe however once I save recipe I can not go back unless I delete the data so I can add new one. You need to add a favorite list so we can save our own recipe and go back to it rather than screenshot each one. Thank you.

### 2/5 — App Support, Where Are You?

*2018-06-25, version 1.5*

App Support link does not work. I have a question about adding fragrance oil. Otherwise, app does calculate fine, I just don’t see where I can add the fragrance oils.

### 3/5 — Lye calc not accurate!

*2017-08-27, version 1.5*

This app doesn't factor in the 90% purity of KOH.  It will calculate less causing issues with dual lye soap recipes.  Please fix this issue.

### 4/5 — Possible future updates?

*2016-02-13*

I purchased this program about a month ago and use it daily and find it very nice to work with. I think a couple user add ons would enhance the OS for better functionality, as there a few things that bugs me S follows; 
- Being able to print the recipe as per the final page and not as a html code.
- being able to delete old recipes that don't work and able to edit a saved recipe; and
- having a total oils use in kg/g/ounes/lbs T the beginning to give you %'s etc

Failing that a good program....thanks

### 4/5 — Love it

*2014-12-29, version 1.2*

I love this app. It helps me out a lot. There are a few other ingredients that I hope they will add to the app one day. *fingers crossed*

### 2/5 — Good app when works!

*2014-07-02, version 1.2*

I love this soap calc app more than any of the others I have but it constantly stops working! After I get the whole recipe in I can't calculate because it crashes! Constantly uninstalling and reinstalling!

### 4/5 — Really nice, but not able to add Lemon juice

*2014-06-06, version 1.2*

Really nice job, but when inputting my favorite recipe I can't input lemon juice, which is used to lower the Ph. Throws my calc off. Sure wish developer would add that and vinegar as options.  Pretty pretty please....

### 2/5 — Stopped Working

*2014-03-31, version 1.2*

This program was working fine for the first three times I used it, now it will not even start up, very upset about this, what is going on, I want my money back if it can't be fixed!

### 3/5 — App is hung

*2014-03-11*

This app worked like a charm for well over a year but all at once the app will not open for iPad or iPhone. All are stuck in the start up page.  There are no updates for this app not does there appear to be a way to contact the developer to report bugs. Other users have similarly reported this problem in the reviews but there seems to be no way to resolve the problem.

Update:
Was able to use again by turning wifi OFF, then go to the app. It should work again then go back and turn the wifi on again. Can't explain why this works but it saved me. I didn't lose any recipes and have been able to create and save new ones!

### 3/5 — No Support!

*2014-01-19, version 1.2*

There is no support from the developer. The main reason I purchased this was for the resizer which does not work. The is a slide bar at the bottom next yo the oil weight. I would assume if you have 80 oz of oil should be able to slide the bar to adjust. Not happening and no way to get support.

### 3/5 — Useless

*2014-01-12*

It used to work but now it is useless and won't open. The developers website is no help either. Fix the bugs or return payment and I will delete the app and use another calculator...........4 days later it is working again. I hope it keeps working but will ensure I email copies of my recipes.

### 2/5 — Updates keep preventing it from working

*2014-01-10, version 1.2*

I never know when I will be able to use this app since the updates keep impacting it.  I love it (when it works).  However, I typically find it simply just hangs wen trying to open it.  Pretty frustrating since I save my recipes in this app.

### 3/5 — Won't open anymore

*2014-01-09*

At first the App worked great now it won't open at all. All my recipes are stored in there and are now lost.
Fix or refund money!

### 1/5 — Can I get my money back?

*2014-01-03, version 1.2*

I have not been able to use this app since I purchased it a few days ago. When I bring up the app on my phone or iPad...absolutely nothing happens! It doesn't open. Very disappointed. How can I get my money back, to spend on an app that actually works?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Just terrible

*2018-08-18, version 1.5*

I just got this and I can not recommend it. It only allows you to calculate water as % of oils (which isn’t a good idea to begin with) and other numbers it recommends are outright insane. 
One of the things I do when looking at a soap calculator is I run simple, tried and true recipes I’ve used through it to see what happens. On a 2 pound recipe it recommended 100 oz of fragrance oil and 2 + pounds of water! 
Tl;dr: use the soapcalc website or do your own math. This app is bad

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2017-06-29, version 1.5*

This doesn't have any options for essential oils and the calculations are way off.

### 1/5 — Can't trust

*2017-04-03*

It's hard to trust a calculator that tells me I need 422g of fragrance for 650g of oils!

### 1/5 — Why has this app stopped working?

*2014-03-31*

This app no longer works on my ipad. I've tried deleting and reinstalling, but it still only show's the front screen. Is this because there is a new paid version available?

### 1/5 — App does NOT work

*2014-03-31, version 1.2*

After spending money on the pro version of this app, I realize I wasted it. The app does not go past the title page and work. Do not buy this. There is no developer help. if you click on the link it goes to two-pages with blank wikis. So I'm not happy that I wasted my money.

### 1/5 — Crashes often

*2014-03-29, version 1.2*

This app is great when it works but crashes often.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-01-10*

Don't buy this app. It doesn't work. 

The app starts with a splash screen and then nothing happens. There is no way to contact the developer either. 

I will be contacting apple for my money back.

### 1/5 — Crashtastic

*2014-01-10*

Crashed on both my iPad 2 and 4S phone. Useless and I would like a refund.

### 1/5 — Won't open very disappointed

*2014-01-04, version 1.2*

Once again it won't open  very disappointed

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-01-04, version 1.2*

Some features never worked, like the sliding bar for ounces, or scrolling between oils while building a recipe. Now it won't open at all. Since I will never see a refund, I'll do my part to prevent others from wasting their money.

### 5/5 — Soap calc pro

*2018-10-23*

Love this App, quick and very simple to use, it's never let me down in years of cold process soap making.

### 5/5 — It's do my job

*2015-12-01, version 1.2*

I really like it but please solve some ios9 bugs

### 5/5 — Slow

*2014-01-02, version 1.2*

App does not open

### 5/5 — Best soap app!

*2013-06-25*

This app has been my god send ever since I started making soap...a Must!

### 5/5 — Stopped working!!

*2013-03-30*

Use this app all the time!! All my favorite recipes are on here. It has stopped working!!!!!! Help!!

### 5/5 — Not functioning

*2012-11-07, version 1.2*

Slider to resize only works when you are in grams mode. Visual bugs when you save a recipe. No option for percentages. Oh well.

### 5/5 — Functionality not there for me

*2012-06-24, version 1.2*

I like being able to formulate recipes on my phone. But I am not able to access a list of saved recipes. I don't think it's user error -- there simply isn't a way to get out of the recipe I saved. I can alter it to come up with new recipes and email them.

### 5/5 — Soap Calc Pro is great

*2012-02-25, version 1.0*

This app is great for creating new soap recipes. I wish the Water as Percent of Oil would go a little lower than 20% because I usually use 16.5%. I think it is money well spent.

### 5/5 — 10 Stars!

*2012-02-24, version 1.0*

If you make soap you will love this. Enter your fats in grams or ounces. Tap on a fat for all soap properties (great information). Calculates water and lye plus several qualities your recipe will have such as bubbles, hardness, creaminess, cleansing, etc. Looking at results allows you to modify your recipe   Name and save your favorites. Adjust for superfats. More. Well done.

### 4/5 — Great program.. Needs some tweaks

*2016-05-24, version 1.5*

I've been making soap for a couple of years now and use this calculator a lot. I really like it!

I think it needs some tweaks, though.

First, it needs to separate my recipe from the auto balanced one by using different colors, or better yet by putting the auto balanced recipe on a separate page.  I was in a hurry this morning and mistakenly used the auto balanced lye amount instead of the recipe amount (I haven't made soap in a while).  I might not have made that error if the auto balanced  recipe was separated from the actual recipe.
Second, the auto balanced recipe should try to calculate using the same total amount of oils as is in the entered recipe. Auto balance is always low, so I have to adjust it up. It is an unnecessary PITA to try to adjust the recipe.
