Bean Tracker

Easy to use, some minor bugs, but captures most of the information I want. Bugs: when editing a roast entry the Review box does not show up for edits. When returning from a roast edit screen to the list of roasts the rating entries don’t show until you back out of the list and go back into the list. Suggestion: add a field for roast level result (city, city+, full city, etc.).

For home roasting, it’s def a good app. I has all the necessary functions I need at this point. I’m using an electric non stick pot at home to roast coffee beans and using the app has been helpful. I’m still learning how to use it and how I can use it to my needs but I like it. There’s always room for improvement so 4 stars it is

I haven’t really found any other application out there that is quite like this one. It’s a bit fiddly in that post roasting ratings. Don’t always appear. Also, recently, ads have started appearing at the top of the screen, which are extremely annoying. Please tell me how much you want for this and I am happy to pay to eliminate the ads.

App just crashes after adding my first bean and trying to open anything in the app.

Simple and easy to use , very useful. would be great if you can read thermocouples on a phidgetTo chart out how roasts develop.

I reviewed this app a few months back and gave it 1 star because I read about a roasting timer but didn’t find it at first. I was using it to keep track of my roasts and bean quantities and entering all my events ( charge, TP, DE, FC, FCE, SC, SCE, and drop) by hand. I finally hit the timer title and the timer opened. If the App description had noted that… so, now I use it during my roast and it helps me keep time tracking to the second. Better than any regular timer. I describe the whole profile of each roast down to Roater used, Heat level, fan level changes, events and as much data as I can to be able to come back at repeat the roasts. All in all I’m happy with the app. It would be great if it could use the timer times to determine development % but I have fun calculating that too.

Need to access clock/timer etc for real time use. Otherwise this is a small step above pencil and notebook.

Found this app very useful and easy to use. The time selection took a bit getting used but once figured out was easy. For different batches of coffees from same producer-estate I simply add a letter or number. Would be nice if there was a sorting function, and sometimes mistakes on weight entry are not corrected on the inventory weight when corrected in the roast tab. Wouldn’t mind a for fee version to get rid of adds. I have found timer functions on other apps are inconvenient and don’t care for it in the app.

PLEASE fix the issues with the in app timer. It’s virtually unusable as it stands and has ruined my tracking of many roasts at this point. PS (this is nitpicking) if it’s possible to reverse the automated order of the “bean selection” (or have beans with zero stock disappear as options) when you choose a new bean to roast, it would be far more intuitive. Feels silly that I have scroll through my entire history of beans (including depleted stocks) before I get to my latest purchase/roast every time. I know deleting them would be a workaround but that seems to defy the purpose of the app. If these things were resolved it’d be perfect!!

Solid app for basic data tracking. As others have mentioned, it would be great to have the ability to export data to excel to save/review. Otherwise it’s a good app that provides the basics for what I need! Thanks!
