Formulair

Super user friendly, a game changer app for me. Thank you!

He has created a very useable, effective app for perfumers. A personalised inventory with important data fields, a formula chart that can be configured any way you need to, with dultions, scaling. He has created a app for pennies, that rivals the thousands of dollars app. It is quite manual which I prefer. It does not come loaded with IFRA data or GC data, but all of that can be added as desired. and it is that data that really what you pay for in the expensive professional softwares.

Overall a very useful application. Quite easy to understand and well suited. Wished there would be more content already entered when you pay for the full version. Could be time consuming to populate at the beginning if you have quite a it of raw material. Pairing and correlation between raw materials could be a great improvement for future release!

App is great, but I am having issues syncing my laptop with my iPad.

This app has made my life 1000x easier. I don’t know what I’d do without it so I hope it stays available forever. Highly recommend to all perfumers!

Great for storing your library of materials, it would be nice to have an option for accords library option, and for it to be easily integrated into formulas, instead of reloading all your raw materials for the formula manually. Another suggestion is for a extensive csv library of raw materials to be downloaded for the full version. Love this app.

I haven’t purchased it (yet!) because I’m still working with the free version but this app seems very worth the money and very useful. I watched the tutorial on YouTube which was extremely helpful and only took about an hour. This app is going to save me so much time and money. My only complaint is that you don’t make an account for the app, it’s linked to your ICloud. So if I’m making perfume with another person and want them to have access to the same database on a different device, it’s hard to share the login information.

Clean, simple and very straightforward interrelational database. Anyone who has used iTunes can navigate this. Time-saving data entry tool that beats excel spreadsheets by a mile. Analytical features that help formula evaluations. When dealing with a large library of aroma chemicals this is a huge advantage.

If you love spreadsheets like me, letting go of control can feel weird. How can I be sure all my relevant info is available? How are the calculations done? How are updates? Well, all are much, much better than any spreadsheet I set up. The data hoarder in me is happy to add tons of notes to materials. The math nerd loves the clever ways formulas are calibrated. I don't know how the design snob ever felt comfortable with spreadsheets tbh. This app is gorgeous. Can you imagine if Apple made Contacts run this smoothly? Also, my weighing station doesn't have room for my laptop. With Formulair, I just use my phone to get the formulas. I update the Mac later. It's better than the best I could imagine. Documentation is also excellent, both on the dev's site and Sam Macer's YouTube channel. Easiest IAP I ever bought.

As much as I love the old-school practice of writing out formulas (the simple act of writing out a formula gives me the luxury of time to really consider if or how I should add a material etc), but I am of the very new-school, need-it-done-now, gather-information-quickly, produce-results generation. This app is thoroughly thought out, from the ground up, top to bottom and side-to-side with every feature helpful in the process of formulating. Each feature exists for a practical and useful reason, and no feature that really has no practical use and serves no useful function is eliminated so you'd really have to be a dumb-dumb to fail using this app. Side grip: I wish the settings were inside the app itself so I don't have to go to my actual phone settings to change advanced settings. But that's not even a bother once I figured out where those advanced settings were. The only CON: both the app and my desktop version crash constantly when deleting material categories or deleting materials.
