Brewguide 4+

Works but could be better

First of all, please combine all your apps. I don’t want 5 separate apps. Second, it needs to be easier to find recipes. There’s no apparent way to just browse everything that’s available. You have to know exactly what to search for. Also get more guides on there. Maybe reach out to brewers for recipes.

Crashes

Brewguide is THE reason I got this scale. I built out my brew and saved it. Crash. Tried to edit the saved brew. Crash. Want to delete it. Crash. Help?

Well, at least I know why it crashes. The app allows editing some fields like Brewer, that are also offered as an enumeration (where you pick one). If you edit the fields, the app crashes when you try to load the recipe.

This is bad, but the recipes cannot be deleted, which is worse.

Crashes when saving Brewguide

I have yet to properly use this app due to it crashing. Downloaded Brewguide to use with the new Acaia Pearl S, which is stated to be the only working app for it. There are only 2 guides in the app, neither of which are for a Chemex so creating one is the only option. Unfortunately after creating a custom guide, the app hangs and crashes when trying to save. No guide saved, back to square one. Tried again and same thing. Also, when creating steps for the guide, the water gram value automatically resets to zero if you go back in to edit steps. The Acaia Pearl S is a great scale and I’m looking forward to using its full potential. Unfortunately this app needs work and is too early in its infancy stage to be usable.

Developer Response ,

We are happy to inform that there are now Chemex specific recipes - and there should be no issues saving custom. There are also many other improvements since the version that you rated. Please try our latest version and give us some feedback based on that one.
