使用过程中会卡死，一样解决这个问题。
Last update was 1 year ago! Really?!
This app reminds me of the old Soviet Lada cars - its a barely functional, smoking mess. Standard journeys in pour over and immersion work fine, but hit any pothole and you are guaranteed off the road. It’s a shame, because the Gina itself is a BMW. Quality build, and onboard electronics that are great - except that there aren’t any visible instruments of course! This means that the app is the only way to access Ginas $100 ‘Smart’ features. It’s been 3 years since launch and my BMW Gina still hasn’t had a satisfactory Lada features update. In fact, the latest app version has gone from 1.5 to 1.0.7! Get with the program Goat Story! Users are well advised to put the Gina on a separate scale until you update this app - or better still, release an open source api and let the development community create a BMW interface for you!
My app loses the data from the cold drip brew halfway through the process so if I haven’t kept careful track of where I am in the brew, the brew is sabotaged. The Gina brewer itself is great but if I were buying again I’d get the non-smart version unless the app were to improve to the point of being functional for a longer brew. I have a joule sous vide and often use the joule and joule app to perform a cooking operation that takes several hours. The joule app doesn’t restart every time I navigate back to it and even if it were to do so it keeps track of what I am cooking and sends me notifications and would be able to reload all the data from the cooking action I was in the middle of. The Gina app forgets I’m in the middle of a brew and forgets all the details of that brew after ten minutes. So I could likely complete a faster brew method before the app sabotaged my brew, but the cold drip coffee brew is meant to take hours. My joule app clearly walks me through the steps I need to follow whether I am doing my own settings or following a recipe through the app. The Gina app doesn’t provide clear instructions and instead funnels you to videos with irritating elevator music in lieu of written directions. Thus if you want to double check one point in the brewing process it is hard to get that info off the app without having to rewatch the whole video.
I think there is a small problem with the app in iOS 14 I hope we getting new updates soon
What kind of Bluetooth device doesn’t have a button on it for pairing? Goat-story completely fails to mention anything about how to get your Gina prepared to connect via Bluetooth, they just assume it’ll happen out of thin air. Literally tried all of their bogus suggestions as to why it might have trouble pairing, which included powering off/on my phone, and deleting/reinstalling the app. Shocker: neither one made a difference because the Gina still wasn’t signaling to connect to Bluetooth.
- Need pour over select method brew - don't like bettery indicator - need background running
Everything about this app feels like I’m waiting for an old Windows 2000 computer to boot up. From app startup, to log-in time, to synchronizing with the Gina unit, it’s a wait-fest. The UI is also unpolished and a few buttons don’t respond on the first 1 to 10 taps. Get it together, Goat Story...
Absolutely garbage app. After restarting phone, reinstalling app, plugging in Gina to different outlets, etc, still unable to connect to Gina. Continue to get a “connection timed out” error. Absolutely disgusted with this product and company.
