BeerSmith Mobile Home Brewing App Reviews

Please fix this problem

Really a great app for homebrewers!!! Only one problem, with the last updates the "back" button rest under the status bar so its not easy to use...

It is very good , quite complete for a mobile version... And now it works very well!

I intended to use this app on my phone and iPad and switch seamlessly between the two. But I am unable to save recipes from the cloud from either device. Apparently, you must have the PC/Mac version to actually save recipes to the cloud, and then they can be accessed from the iOS devices. That is not a useful syncing function to me. I wish that was clear before I spent the $8 on this app...

Doesnt cater to small batch at all

Lacks basic calculators like water need tool. Was looking for an all-in-one, this is not it. Description was not clear that ISO version is meant more for cloud linkage to your PC/Mac. PC version has all the tools (calculators) needed to brew, not this. More for on-the-fly recipe ideas.

This is a great compliment to the Beersmith Desktop software. I can create my recipes, do my calculations on my desktop then upload them into the cloud folder. Once, there I can carry my iPad out to my breeched and follow my recipe. The built in timers are really helpful so I dont need to switch between apps. This app doesnt do everything that the desktop software can do, so think of it more as a "companion" app. ( in my opinion)

Much cleaner looking and feels less cluttered. My favorite recipe and brew day tracker by far.

The update looks great but when I try to access the timer, it throws up a JavaScript error and then I cant do anything else in the app. Ill close it out and try to do it again to no avail. Turned my phone off and back on and still gives me errors. Can I revert back to the old version?

I use the desktop app every brew day and bought this app think it would be good to make recipes while away from my desktop. This app has a long way to go to be a companion to my desktop. For example my grain and hop profiles are not in the app. You would have to have transfer all your recipes to the cloud to edit them away from your desktop. Now that may sound petty but I would expect a more streamlined experience where my desktop softwares profiles and recipes were linked between this app and my software.

This app has been central to my homebrewing career and has resulted in two satisfactory beers and dozens of brand-new ideas and concepts. However, there are many ingredients and new hop varieties that I wish would be added to the database. For example, my most recent recipe used Mandarina Bavaria hops, a newer variety not listed in the app, and others such as Lemondrop and El Dorado that have become popular as of late in microbreweries. Adjunct-wise, Id like to see hibiscus listed and allow a visual estimate of how much of the red hue is given off. Otherwise, this is a pretty decent app.

Doesnt sync with desktop version, profiles and ingredients need to be moved over one by one. Cant seem to find key info like total water needed.

Love playing around with this software! Its so much fun to create recipes with it. The only thing I would change is to have a separate section for recording brew data or at least be able to access and edit brew data without going into the editing of a recipe.

After updating to this last version Im unable to use the back button on a recipe. It doesnt highlight the button on my iPhone 6!???!! Have to close and reopen the app. PLEASE FIX

Latest update ruined this app. I cant get it to copy recipes to my recipes, go back, cancel, etc. Hell, the ok button doesnt even work anymore. Please fix or refund your customers Beersmith.

Please fix!! I use this on all my brews for data recording and making life simple when Im brewing.... please fix the issue with saving my recipes and creating new recipes... Thanks!!

The buttons sometimes stop working...for example the back button when you go into a recipe, so youre stuck unless you exit out and restart. Got stuck when I saved a recipe locally, it wouldnt go back. So far a frustrating app. Needs some real basic updates.

I use desktop version of Beersmith for every brew, listen to the podcast, and even subscribe to, and read the newsletters. So I am usually a fan. This is why I ignored the bad reviews and dropped $8 on this app. While exploring I went into settings and there the program remains, stuck due to a malfunctioning Back icon. Even after shutting down and coming back, the program is locked in the refractometer page, rendering the app useless. Take some time and fix this Brad. It mars an otherwise brilliant suite of apps. "I want my $8 dollars", screams the paper boy as he chases John Cusack. But seriously, fix it.

I bought it and used it for quite a while. Now it wont work. They need to put out an update for iOS9 that actually works. Tried deleting and starting over. Lost all of my recipes. Do you think I might be a bit angry? Find something else to use until they figure out how to fix it.

The app just just stopped working...cant select anything or use the back button....fix it please!!!!
