Reviews for iBrewCoffee - Coffee Journal

Great app, quite customisable, and has all the features I wanted. Recommended if you're into keeping score. Very satisfied.

My favorite coffee app so far, have brewed over 250 cups and tracked them in the app and it works wonders. Probably the best app available for this kind of thing if you don't want to create a spreadsheet for your daily brews!

I am getting into the habit of journaling again - this time with my coffee brews. A great tool for those who experiment with their beans and methods.

The best app in it's kind I could find so far. Of course, it's not perfect, although it does its job nicely and the UI is tailored pleasantly. Personally, I was surprised by the number of available equipment options and roasteries from the stock.

i like the app, its a way for me to simplify the "trial and error" while learning to make good coffee. i just dont like that some sort of community and ability to interact with other users doesnt exist. adding my friends and comapring our brews would be a very good thing. " have you tried the new brewing technique? check your ibrew i sent it to you"

Everything was good until you signed out. Everything will be lost, and this is a strange way to force you to become a premium member. It's like they betrayed you for money. Even if I wanted to pay for this app now, I would never do it because they might sell your data for a higher price to third parties.

Let's you track coffee, roasting, and brewing. Very nice app lets you track a lot of information. You can get as detailed as you want. I like that you can enter the type of coffee you have, and then brew are linked to that type of coffee. Tried other recipe based apps and to change some things means generating a new recipe and recipes aren't linked to a certain type of coffee. In this, brews are linked to a specific bag of coffee and you always know what you're dealing with. Makes sense I hope

I understand paywalling sync but basic features such as >15 products, >3 local pictures, and >15 PDF data export for $4.99 a month, $34.99 annually, or $134.99 lifetime is outrageous. Unlimited local data entry should be free or a reasonable one time purchase price as there is no overhead outside of development costs. Furthermore, there should be local data import/export in standard formats such as csv or md. This is all hidden before registration. Good design, horrible monitization. Hard pass.

So far so good. Online pricing a bit steep but at least the offline features are reasonably priced so i got those. The app is great for its intended purposes. A couple of things i would add 1. A recipe option. So far been using it as equipment option. E.g. using the JH 1 cup V60. Creator: James Hoffman Link/url/video: xxxx Steps: 1, 2, 3 etc 2. Filter by brewer type (v60, origami, etc) 3. Screen customization hide . E.g tds, extraction yield which i dont use

Tbh, I really like how it works generally. Simple and easy to use. A few things bothered me though. 1) The price (That's slaughter) 2) Anyway to link the product to the brew method? Combination of products and methods yield different outcomes. 3) More details for the brew method (Bloom or No Bloom, if Bloom, what's the duration, how many pours etc.) That's my humble opinion, will keep supporting it.

Interface feels a little clunky/cluttered sometimes just due to the huge amount of data it can keep track of. It would be nice to see the data summarized and aggregated different ways, like what coffees were rated highest for a given brew method, or to quickly see what grind size has given the best rating for a given coffee.

This is so close to greatness. I don't understand the details that it lists up front for each added coffee. Do you select a coffee by identifying it's altitude/variety or do you identify it by the name the roaster sold it under? I bet most people choose the latter, but you can't see the entered name of a coffee without clicking into it. You hit the wrong one? Now you get to repeat that until you eventually find the correct one.

I have three different coffee tasting apps I'm trying out and so far this one has been the easiest to use and provides exactly what I need. a lot of easy features that work well in the mobile app including slide bars for taste.

I've just started my coffee journey and i will say this is extremely helpful. The customization is amazing but what I really love is the detail. It's a great app for tracking progress and really seeing your pallet grow. I don't normally leave comments but I wanted to for this app. I see other people complaining about the price but $45 AUD is nothing compared to the amount of money I've already spent on coffee. If you want a cheeper option, get a notebook. I think the features are worth it.

I went from using a note app to this and it's been scratching the itch for organization and ease of use. I love being able to creat a bean profile and then being able to register different brews in it. I've started paying attention to fine details in tasting notes since using the app and it's been fun!

Great app but way too expensive for local functionality. We should be able to locally store as many brews/products as we like. Totally useless for anyone wanting to use it as a record of all their brews. And no one is going to spend the crazy high price just to store more locally. I understand cloud backup being charged at a higher price, but not basic functionality. Update: changed my review rating after changes to app pricing model. This is now worth the money to support the best coffee app.

Very good app. Lots of options although not fully customizable. Unfortunately it's linked to only one device so when you switch phones you loose your whole archive, unless you pay a subscription. It doesn't make sense to me just for the new device every two or three years, so I won't keep using it, but other than that it's really good.

I like this app. I can key in all the information that i used to write in my coffee brewing journal. This app even plots the taste profile for me, and allows me to compare, at a swipe, the different coffees that i have brewed before. Within each type of coffee, i can compare the results from my previous attempts and brew methods easily. The layout is very easy to read. I would give it 5 stars if it could also plot the SCA TDS/ Extraction graph for me.

This is a very nice app. I have a couple suggestions that the devs may consider implementing. It would be nice if there was an option to display the image of the coffee bag more prominently. Possibly where there is an image of the bag that takes up a large portion of the card and then right underneath the roaster (+country) and origin are displayed. Then you can click in to see more details. It would also be nice if we could group the entries by country of origin or country where the roaster is

Useful app. Nice interface, I have not found major bugs. I do not agree with the chosen pricing model, luckly the important features are in a cheap one-time purchase. Some features are missing: cupping as a brew method (a quite important one, I'd say, to compare one coffee to another) and water recipes in the equipment tab.
