### 5/5 — Grest app

*2025-12-01*

This has completely changed my sourdough game.

I’ve realized that 72% hydration is the sweet spot for me as a beginner — every loaf comes out perfect and consistent. The real key is having a very active starter. I feed mine twice a day.

Also, this app doesn’t charge anything, which I love. With my 7.5-quart Dutch oven, I bake a double loaf, and it fills the pot perfectly.

Loving this whole process and loving this app

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — It’s great so far

*2025-01-23*

I love the calculator vibe it has.  It’s no frills but that’s why it appeals to me.  Don’t forget to save your notes progress or you’ll lose them like I did!  I wish there was a way to pay for it to avoid the ads on the bottom of the app though.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! I'll reply again if I get around to an option for removing ads. Thanks for the feedback!

### 5/5 — Great calculator

*2024-11-11*

It seems to work great. My question is, are you able to print out your recipe? That would be very helpful, eliminating the need to take screenshots & paste together.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion - you can now export recipes to PDF 😊

### 5/5 — Seems great to me.

*2024-09-17*

Some low ratings say the weight is off. I double checked 4 different hydrations and it was right on…some aside it was slow. On my iPad it’s instant response…it does exactly what I want…fast simple hydration calculator, also saves all this with you cook temp and times…

I like it much so far. I don’t see amy way to pay for no adds, is mu only issue, but that’s not big…

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!

### 1/5 — Great Idea Ruined By Greed

*2023-12-29, version 1.5.0*

In principle this would be a great idea. Unfortunately all the ads, usually with videos, cause it to continuously lock up. It’s like running a 2023 game on Windows 95. Frustrating and useless.

### 1/5 — The add is in the way

*2023-12-02*

The add is placed so that you cannot see or use the app.

**Developer response:** Could you please try the latest version?

### 1/5 — Wrong CALCULATION

*2022-10-16*

If you add the weight of flour, water and starter the final dough weight is so off 500-800g what kind of app is that hahah waste of time !! Garbage…used to be such a good app not any more

**Developer response:** Can you please update the app - this issue has been resolved. Would appreciate an updated response here - thanks!

### 4/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2022-06-23, version 1.3.0*

This app is very easy to use - perfect to get ratios for bread in a flash.

Why not 5 stars? well, it's the ads. It would be great if the developer provided an option for add-free for a small fee.

Otherwise, congratulations to the developer for functional simplicity!

### 1/5 — Version 12 a backward step

*2022-04-26, version 1.3.0*

Just upgraded to version 12 on my iPad and it is very slow to respond. The sliders are static and the ads are a pain.
Upgraded to v1.3 ... still very slow to respond.

### 3/5 — Only in Fahrenheit?

*2022-04-21*

I think the developer is missing out on the 7.5 billion who use Celsius.
