They more less abandoned the Mobile app. Do yourself a favor. Go with Brewfather
Hard to use, mostly due to clunky UI. Still the best brew app available...
I use it professionally and it is an amazing app. I wish all the desktop features were available on the app but I'm sure over time it'll happen. Thank you!!!
Good for ballpark estimates and storing recipes. That's it. FG estimates don't account for yeast's maximum attenuation or necessary cell count, so writing recipes that use adjuncts like sugar or honey have to be calculated manually, otherwise you'll get a false estimated ABV and FG due to the app calculating attenuation in the 90th percentile. Mash profiles also don't affect estimated FG at all. I could write a recipe that mashes at 152 and one at 160 and they'd have the same FG.
A little bit different than desktop version but good enough for me......thanks guys
Mobile version is quicker to get used to than the PC version for the average homebrewer. Would definitely recommend.
I'm a long time BeerSmith user, started with version 1.3 I figured it's high time I moved to using a tablet rather than a bulky laptop. I kinda wish I hadn't. Clunky slow interface, local search doesn't work when using nested folders, can't import BeerXML, can't import equipment profiles or water profiles, no export, no backup/restore. Unless you use the cloud function, you're humped. There are free products that do all of these things, yet we're held captive with paid software. Not impressed.
Very helpful with calculations and conversions! Opens the recipes in the cloud but not as flexible in recipe adjustments compared to the desktop version.
First of all, I've been using the desktop version 2 - never upgraded to version 3. I got a tablet, so I decided that I'd get the Android version. After struggling a bit, I figured I can send profiles and recipes from one to the other using the "Cloud" which allows to share 15 recipes for free. I was also able to copy my equipment from the Desktop version to the tablet (transfer a recipe with the right profile to the cloud - check the profile details within the recipe and save to your mobile instance). So people that complain it's not possible to go from one to the other, please try and check online info before complaining. I think the 15 recipes for the free cloud account is good enough to get you going. If you want more, you should get the full cloud account. This being said, the UI is not the greatest - I agree. I guess you get used to it after a while, but It's not the case for me yet. I'm used to have the desktop brewsheet printed where I can check off things and write readings so it's easier to follow. But, the essential info is there and that's the important. I do think it's a good tool that needs getting used to it. It does allow me to plan and execute my brew day using a recipe I developped on the Desktop verstion - that's all which is important. Therefore, I guess it's an allright tool for me.
Some of the worst UX/UI I have ever come across. For example pressing the Save button and then nothing happens. Then having to press Cancel to get back to a previous page. Weird brew day timer issues where I can't pause or resume properly. And some really basic features are missing. How do I make a copy of a recipe? How do I make a copy of equipment?
