Tilt 2 12+

Great concept. Still a few kinks to work out

First off: I LOVE data. Being able to watch my fermentation, know where I’m at in the process, and automagically know my ABV without having to take samples constantly is AWESOME! Kudos to the team that put this together!
That said, I believe there a still a “use ability” kinks you could (and should) smooth out:

1) API cloud keys are LONG and easily mistyped. I should be able to paste the string in the app (that I just copied from my browser on the same device). I should never have to type that string. Ever.
The fact that I can’t paste in to a field in the app is extremely frustrating.

2) this gripe is a little more difficult to implement. It would be great if you could add a small amount of writable RAM to the Tilt Hydrometer device and enable two way interaction between the app and the device. The RAM would then enable the app to write calibration points in memory so that if an app device crashed another could be brought in to continue the session.
Real world example from my current session: I was using a Fire Tablet mounted by my fermenter to log to my brew session on Brewer’s Friend. The Fire tablet decided to die and I brought in an old iPhone to replace it. It picked up the tilt and started logging to the session with no issues, but my readings are skewed now because it didn’t do the calibration.

All in all a great device that has made my brewing experience so much better! A few tweaks and it’ll be epic!

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback. We're still working out the kinks as you mentioned and are committed to making the app exceed expectations. A new version should be out shortly to address copy/paste issues. This has been corrected for both iOS and Android.

Regarding your second concern, we are working to implement an app syncing feature so that you can quickly copy settings by either logging in or typing in a short sync code. I agree it's inconvenient to hand copy settings from one iPhone or Android to another.

App Unstable with Multiple Tilt Devices

I love the product. Loved it so much that I bought a second tilt device for when I have more than one fermentation going simultaneously. I have a spare iPhone running as a dedicated logging device. The app now crashes roughly every other day. I have to check in on the logging device and restart the app.

Also. The instructions for setting up your own cloud service on the website are not the same as those on the associated Google doc. It’s very unprofessional and easily fixed.

Great Concept, hardware, app broken with newer Os version

UPDATE: Under iOS17 you can no longer paste URLs into the cloud URL fields. Developers appear have abandoned this app which is sad considering it's a good product. Time to sell my 3 and find something new because the heart of this product is the app and it's broken.

This is a great product with well made hardware. It even works fairly well through my stainless SS Brewtech fermenters BUT the app has not been updated in over a year and there are so many bugs now it's a frustrating experience at this point and I'm considering other options because reliability is important and the developers of this app have mostly abandoned it the last 10 months at least.
