Handy but overly complicated to use when compared to the desktop app. One issue tho. I'm unable to enter in the OG value in my recipe. It just won't save the number.

great app. Just wish I could add a second packaging step and have it calculated based on that per package type.. example- I have a 21L batch but I want to keg 19L at 2.5/volume carbonation.. the other 2L I want to bottle. the amount of CO2 is calculated for the entire batch of 21l not the 19l I am kegging so if I were to follow it, the beer would be under carbonated.. hope that makes sense
I can't trust this app, recipes or entire folders disappear randomly, ingredient values change periodically. It's fine for building a recipe but I have to store past recipes elsewhere. I'm looking for an alternative.
Apparently there is no way to export recipe data? Only make a copy within the app that can only be viewed in the app? This lock-in makes me very sad. It's enough that Apple and Google and Amazon are locking people into their eco systems, sad to see an indie developer doing the same.
Hi Brad, love the desktop version and the mobile app (desktop is better with more resolution for water adjustments). Will there be a future version which integrates desktop and mobile more closely, so a separate purchase is not required for both applications?
Update: BS version 3.0.8 has fixed the Brew Day timers! Not only are they working again, it appears that a paused timer will no longer issue an event notification based on the original unpaused schedule (old BS2 mobile bug). So the requirement to totally rewrite the timer code for Android was worth the wait :) I'd give it five stars if it could pull my inventory from the BS cloud. Cheers!
Completely disappointed with the lack of updates and feature. Beta tester without access to cloud. Subscription model instead of lifetime access really sucks. Not worth it anymore. Lots of great alternatives with import functionality.
App just deleted all recipes without rhyme or reason. All historical brews and all future ones too. Don't trust the app save hard copies if you want them to survive. Otherwise it works as expected but not deleting your users data seems pretty basic of an ask
Some of the worst UX/UI I have ever come across. For example pressing the Save button and then nothing happens. Then having to press Cancel to get back to a previous page. Weird brew day timer issues where I can't pause or resume properly. And some really basic features are missing. How do I make a copy of a recipe? How do I make a copy of equipment?
My recipes are magically deleted. Could never export them anyways because they want you to pay extra for their cloud service. So now they are just gone. The UI is atrocious. Can't believe I paid for this. This is supposed to be the industry standard and it barely functions. FIX THIS!
