Wish I had bought this years ago. Love the features of the combo of the dens and refractometer. Wish it had notes per reading and could be synced with other brewing apps.
App is crazy counter-intuitive to use and the easiest method to record information is to connect it to an electronic hydrometer the app makers want to sell you.
For a $350-400 tool, I expect this app to be free and self-contained. They could store all your batches in iCloud, but instead are trying to upsell you on their own cloud storage service. Then they split the functionality into three separate apps so they can sell you three subscriptions. I would think twice before buying another Anton Paar product.
I like it more and more every time I use it makes brewing a pleasure
Awesome device! Worth the money honestly! Only thing I wish was available is an online account where you can pull the data up on your computer and save info. Also would be nice to change the date format as well. I usually take the data and convert it to a line graph and save it to the brew log, for a quick reference.
All I get are “out of range” errors. Complete trash. No instructions anywhere.
Oh my gosh this bestest aaaaap ! Holy krap man
Purchased SmartRef to work with my easy dens. It stopped working and now gives an error that saying my free readings expired and I now have to by a monthly subscription for it to work. This is NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE WHEN YOU BUY IT. It's now a brick on my desk.
Not as easy to work with is the old App was
