Game Changer
I love this thing. I think it’s an incredibly clever appplication of physics, and I love that I don’t have to waste any beer to determine the density. I would recommend it to any home brewer.
Not User Friendly
I like the function of the Tilt app but many issues exist. First of all, you must be in the range of the Tilt Meter to look at all the data, otherwise you have to copy it to an Excel spreadsheet. Once it is in the spreadsheet, it is impossible to edit. Let’s say you didn’t get the Tilt started on time but you know the original gravity. Sorry, you can’t change it. If you try to add or delete readings from the data sheet it gives erroneous answers in the report page. If you edit data, you have to save it before you can go back to the report page instead of being able to observe the results on the report page and reverse them. Bluetooth range is supposed to be up to 25 feet. I have to be within 5 feet of my fermenter for it to work. This app needs considerable revisions in order to work for most home brewers!

Needs a fix
View doesn’t allow you to go from report to chart on iOS devices
Tilt Support
I needed help with a Raspberry Pi problem. Noah was more than willing to help me out with a software problem that turned out to be a problem with my computer and not his programming. Kudos
Where is the log saved?
The app seems pretty good, but where is the file saved when device logging is turned on? I can't find it on my phone, and when I try to email it to myself, the send button is greyed out.
Hardware is nice, app is junk
Buggy and cludgy. Try to paste a URL in the 3rd party cloud logging and you’ll understand what I mean. The company needs to invest in the app or get out of the business.
Awesome app
I love the app but I wish it had a widget for an easy view of the app progression to display the current measurements temps and ABV percentage. Is this available for the Apple Watch ?
Great Concept, hardware, app broken with newer Os version
UPDATE: Under iOS17 you can no longer paste URLs into the cloud URL fields. Developers appear have abandoned this app which is sad considering it's a good product. Time to sell my 3 and find something new because the heart of this product is the app and it's broken.
This is a great product with well made hardware. It even works fairly well through my stainless SS Brewtech fermenters BUT the app has not been updated in over a year and there are so many bugs now it's a frustrating experience at this point and I'm considering other options because reliability is important and the developers of this app have mostly abandoned it the last 10 months at least.

App Unstable with Multiple Tilt Devices
I love the product. Loved it so much that I bought a second tilt device for when I have more than one fermentation going simultaneously. I have a spare iPhone running as a dedicated logging device. The app now crashes roughly every other day. I have to check in on the logging device and restart the app.
Also. The instructions for setting up your own cloud service on the website are not the same as those on the associated Google doc. It’s very unprofessional and easily fixed.

Very buggy
Can’t get cloud service set up because I keep getting half of a window to enter information in. Also can’t seem to get Copy/Paste to work. This app is crap.
Needs work
Over a year in and copy and paste still doesn’t work. Supper frustrating if you want to use cloud logging.
Calibrating is also buggy. It randomly adds points to your uncalibrated SG. It’s usually fixed by deleting it a couple times and starting over, but again, frustrating!
I’m running the latest release as of 2/7/2021 on an iPhone 12 pro.
Worth having but it needs work.

Super useful but limited
The logging features are great and accurate. However, I would love to be able to have it send me an alert once my SG reaches a certain point (so I know when to rack to secondary or to change my fermentation temperature) and when it levels out (so i know if fermentation has stalled)
Can’t get the developer to respond to an inquiry
I don’t mind that there’s a bug or two. What I do mind is when I send an email and I’m ignored, then I send a follow up and I’m ignored again, then I send a second follow up and still haven’t had my concern addressed. I get it. You’re busy. I can see a day or two going by without being able to answer a concern but seven days without acknowledging my message is unacceptable in today’s Information Age. Just tell me you acknowledge you received my message(s)... if there’s no fix for my issue I understand.

Won’t fit
Well just be aware this device will not fit in a gallon jug which pretty much defeats the point unless you doing large quantity fermentation in larger containers.
Great product, lousy app
I love the Tilt, great to get a clear sense of what is going on in a brew and when it is really done. However, the app isn't any where near the same level. No help to guide through basic use like calibration. But the worst is the total reliance on "cloud" services. Supposedly it supports csv files locally, however it doesn't participate in file sharing so the is no way to get the files that it saves. There's an icon indicating "share" but clicking on it doesn't do anything. To collect data I had to write my own app for my desktop /tablet PC. I have no interest in any cloud service let alone a Google provided one.

Promising, but needs TiltPi Support
The app assumes you will only connect via Bluetooth. If you are running their TiltPi and cloud clogging, the the app becomes a lot less valuable.
It would be great to still use the app, do calibrations, etc and then connect to the TiltPi instead of rely on Bluetooth only connections.
Especially since I’m using multiple stainless steel Unitanks, it’s nearly impossible to connect to unless I’m right next to. My TiltPi has no issues connecting since it’s wired up right next to them.
And yes I realize I can connect to the TiltPi via Brewfather and web browser, etc, but that makes this app pretty useless.

App doesn’t log.
Have had problems with three beers now. It’ll log for the first day fine but then won’t save to the cloud afterwards. Tried redownloading the app and it works again but I lose everything that was saved prior.
Works good overall
Just a couple of minor issues. When clicking on View Cloud within app there’s no way to get back to Tilt w/o killing app and restarting.
Second, no way to delete csv files.

BEWARE Will not work on 9.3.5 device
Although the specs say the app will work on anything 9.3 or higher, I can not get it to work on my iPad running 9.3.5.
I have ensured that Bluetooth and location services is on. The Tilt connects to another iOS device and Android device without issue.
I also don't see a reason why locations needs to be activated to log my own beers, but that is not a technical issue.
