Artisan Bread Maker

This app is great for keeping track of recipes and easily editing to create new recipes. The note capability is very helpful. I love this app and use it every time I bake bread. The app no longer runs on my old mini iPad but I still use it on my iPhone.

I bake sourdough breads. It does not have provisions for sourdough breads, hence the hydration calculation is inaccurate. It does not meet my needs but it will do for now until I find a better app that’s designed for sourdough bakers.

This app is great fir my new micro bakery. There are very few things I would change or add. I use this app on several devices around the bakery and it would be great if it used a cloud based experience that shared recipes across multiple devices. It is too easy to make changes to a recipe and not update other devices. Maybe even an option to replace duplicate recipes. Also, it is less important to me what the Finished weight after baking is as opposed to the recipe total weight. And in grams nit pounds. Although it would also be nice to be able to select standard or metric and have it auto convert a recipe. I love the ability to scale my recipes and would be even better if you could use a quick scale button instead of a slider. Or even a fillable scaling option. I also would like to be able to edit the name of a bread in the edit window without duplicating the entire recipe into a new recipe and then drleting the old. Some of the functionality of Breadcalc.com would be awesome to add into this app.

It’s a basic tool. It does enough for my needs without being too fancy. It feels a tad clunky in maneuvering from feature to feature. My biggest criticism is I haven’t found how to input decimals in the ingredient list. I’m new to the program, so it may be available to do, but I haven’t found out how to do it yet. I assume it’s not available though. For smaller batches it’s not a big deal, but on 20k and larger bakes, I would like to be more accurate.

Awesome I love it....

No ratio calculator? I can google these “techniques”. How about a calculator that actually equates grams. Fermentation time. Temperature. Waste of money. Too late now.

He app is useful for tracking bread recipes in a way that makes sense. He recipe scaling is very handy, and is the main reason I use this app. It would be nice to see the ingredients lousy expanded into a fuller database that allowed for volume/weight to be entered as well as some way to classify as dry or liquid so that oils, juices, milk, etc could be considered in hydration.

Update: Using the latest iOS on my 5s, the app no longer displays whole recipes: the recipe pages show all the amounts, but shows the name and identity of only the first few (unless you go into edit mode). Original review: I almost gave this four stars, because I have really embraced this app, but It does frustrate me. It should either supply a weight or allow me to define what various ingredients weigh per cup and per teaspoon, so I don't have to enter every amount in grams. I find it impossible to adjust the slider bar to within less than 20g of any given amount I want, except by chance, because I can't release it without jerking it. I have saved a screen shot of one lucky setting that I have made a favorite in my photo album, which I go to rather than trying to recreate it from the master recipe with the slider bar, and for another recipe I have created another recipe that was the same one scaled up. That would be a nice functionality, BTW, if when selecting to base a new recipe on an old one the app presented us a (non-tempermental) slider to base it on a larger or smaller loaf. (e.g. you might not want to make a chocolate loaf as big as the sandwich bread you based the recipe on). Anyhow, I use the app a lot, appreciate it and don't know of anything better.
