BeanList

I made BeanList because I kept forgetting which coffee bags I actually liked. BeanList is a simple journal for the coffee you drink. Snap a photo of the bag, and it reads the roaster, coffee name, origin, process, and variety right off the label so you're not typing it all in by hand. Rate it, add your own tasting notes, and move on. Over time, it turns those ratings into a flavor profile that's actually yours: which origins keep showing up in the bags you loved, which processes you tend to avoid, which varieties you're drawn to that you might not have noticed on your own. The more you log, the better it gets. Everything lives on your device. There's no account to make, no server, nothing synced or shared. What you can track: - Roaster, coffee name, origin, process, and variety, read straight off the bag photo - Your rating and tasting notes for each one - Price and date, so you know what you paid and when - A photo of every bag you log What it gives back: - A flavor profile built from your own ratings, not a generic guide - Best bets: the origin, process, and variety most likely to be a hit for you - A full journal you can search, sort, and export as a CSV whenever you want I hope BeanList helps you remember what you drank and start noticing what you actually like!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BeanList at none against Coffee Note's 1. BeanList also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
