### 1/5 — I tried to use this and it’s so confusing

*2025-02-09*

Could be much better, very difficult to read or understand each step. And with absolutely no help screen or info screen or even the overall directions I had to delete it.
Do you click the step when you complete the action or click the step before you complete the action?

### 3/5 — It’s good but desirable features

*2025-01-16*

I’ve made a few breads using this app.  While it is nice to have the reminders and the formula set, I’ve noticed a few minor things that could make it much better.  Once you start your bread, it’s very difficult to modify any of the times.  Even trying to modify the name of the bread was a challenge as it doesn’t allow you to “save” but just adds another # to the current bread.  I like it but hope there can be updates to make it even better.

### 4/5 — Very handy! But…

*2024-03-28*

Is there a way to delete a bread from the list?
