I wish I could say I fully love this app being that I paid for it. At times not everything shows up ie fragrance weight. Many times the liquid and lye are also absent in the formula even though I indicated it on the recipe. Today, I keep getting errors when I want to edit my recipes. Needs improvement guys.
