Sourdough Hydration Calc User Reviews

Grest app

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

Thanks for the review!

It’s great so far

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.

Response from developer

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

Great calculator

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.

Response from developer

Thanks for the suggestion - you can now export recipes to PDF 😊

Seems great to me.

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…

Thanks for the review!

Great Idea Ruined By Greed

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.

The add is in the way

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

Response from developer

Could you please try the latest version?

Wrong CALCULATION

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

Response from developer

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

Exactly what I was looking for

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!

Version 12 a backward step

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.

Only in Fahrenheit?

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

Operates Extremely Slow

Using iPhone 11, iOS 15.4, after I begin entering data the response to my entry become extremely slow. Not worth using the application.

Response from developer

Speed has been improved - could you please email me at WinogradApps@gmail.com to let me know when it's slow for you? Is it slow just on sliders? Try using the arrow keys or manual input if that's the case.

very poor update

App is now very slow and buggy, why not create a paid version? with no ads and possibly some improvements?
People that needs just a simple calculator will appreciate.

Cool tool for sourdough

I’m going to try this, but I would love to be able to set the hydration % and for it to tell me the water weight needed. Especially good if I’m doing an odd number of loaves. I like getting the weight of resulting loaves the most so it can balance variable leaven rates that I move around depending on temperature.
I guess another cool feature might be to be able to juggle multiple different loaf prep? If you were looking for things to do? Thanks! I really appreciate the app.
