BEERMKR

The app froze several times. The machine was having problems with its vibrating motor. They made me pay for return shipping and also charged a restocking fee. I think this app and product will be good in a few years but i dont think they have the bugs worked out of it yet.

Love the BEERMKR and the app works well, but please do some testing with the iPhone with large text sizes turned on. Some parts of the app are almost unusable with accessibility large fonts turned on.

The app over all is great, didn’t take long to figure out the basics. Haven’t tried a DIY brew yet. However it would be nice to see a live chart on temp so you can see what targets have been hit and where the machine is moving next. As it is you can see current temp and the chart shown is not live. It would also be nice to be able to make adjustments on the fly, for instance I am currently brewing a Redwood IPA. The brewing parameters are already set and fixed. Today is the second day of primary fermentation and the temp is at 63F using US-05 which has a max recommended low temp of 64F. Would be nice to be able to bump that up a hair to stay in recommended range for this yeast. However once a brew is started I see no option to make adjustments. Also for some reason my BeerMkr is multiplying in the app. I started with one and now I see 5. They all have the same name and clicking on any one seems to pull up the same data so it doesn’t seem to be impacting anything and is probably just a bug that needs to be worked out in the next version. Those are the only tweaks I would like to see, otherwise it’s a pretty solid app. Cheers!
