Bean Tracker 4+

For home roasting, it’s def a good app. I has all the necessary functions I need at this point. I’m using an electric non stick pot at home to roast coffee beans and using the app has been helpful. I’m still learning how to use it and how I can use it to my needs but I like it. There’s always room for improvement so 4 stars it is

I reviewed this app a few months back and gave it 1 star because I read about a roasting timer but didn’t find it at first. I was using it to keep track of my roasts and bean quantities and entering all my events ( charge, TP, DE, FC, FCE, SC, SCE, and drop) by hand. I finally hit the timer title and the timer opened. If the App description had noted that… so, now I use it during my roast and it helps me keep time tracking to the second. Better than any regular timer. I describe the whole profile of each roast down to Roater used, Heat level, fan level changes, events and as much data as I can to be able to come back at repeat the roasts. All in all I’m happy with the app. It would be great if it could use the timer times to determine development % but I have fun calculating that too.

Found this app very useful and easy to use. The time selection took a bit getting used but once figured out was easy. For different batches of coffees from same producer-estate I simply add a letter or number. Would be nice if there was a sorting function, and sometimes mistakes on weight entry are not corrected on the inventory weight when corrected in the roast tab. Wouldn’t mind a for fee version to get rid of adds. I have found timer functions on other apps are inconvenient and don’t care for it in the app.
