Pros and cons of Brewseful app for iPhone and iPad
Brewseful app good for
Great App. But theres a little bug: When you rename an event and then save the preset, the name of the event gets reset to what it was when the event had been added in the first place.
It is simple, clean and nice. And free without ads, how sweet is that?
Beautiful, minimal UI. As others have said, parts of the UX are obscure and could be improved. I actually had a bit of fun figuring out how things worked...but only because the UI is so fantastic. Everything you need, nothing you dont. Great work!
Some bad moments
I have no idea how to use this app. It isnt very informative, and I cant find any details on how to set it up. :/
Ive been looking for a visually appealing, easily customizable coffee timer for a while and when I first saw Brewseful, I thought Id found it. I really, really wanted to like this app.
It IS visually appealing and easily customizable. It suffers from crippling bugs, however, that would prevent me from recommending it to anyone. The app crashes frequently and stops timing if you switch away from it, even if the app isnt closed. These two issues will mean a lot of panicked moments as you try to remember how much time was left on the clock and set another timer.
Add to this that the app frequently loses saved profiles. I found myself having to re-set my timings on an almost daily basis, to the point where I didnt even bother making separate profiles, because I knew theyd be lost by tomorrow.
I really do love the look and feel of this app. This is one Id be more than willing to give a second chance once the bugs get worked out. Until then, though, its back to Fjords ugly (but functional) Brew Control app.
This app is so simple and elegant. It makes me look forward to the ritual of brewing coffee even more than I do already.
I love using this app to make coffee in the morning! Or the afternoon, come to think of it.
Worlds more useful than the intelligentsia app, this app was obviously designed for coffee drinkers in mind. Very stable and usable for version 1.0. I expect a decent improvement in my morning cup. Thanks! One feature request would be to give the option to measure water in grams. My scale doesnt do milliliters.
This is a great start for this app, though I think it needs some improvements.
*Raise the limit from 10 minutes, for roasting longer times are often needed
*Allow the option if a count-up timer instead if just count down
*A help/guide menu would be great, it took me a while to figure out how to change several different settings
