Pottery Log

So far I’m enjoying most features of the app and the ability to keep notes and photos of each piece together. It is so much simpler to be able to take photos with my phone and immediately organize, as well as easily compare glaze uses and combinations. A few issues I have run into: The thumbnail for each piece is automatically the last photo added. The search feature is dependent on capitalization. You will get different results if you search a word in lowercase vs uppercase.

So helpful and well-organized. Really love not having a million photos on my camera that I have to scroll through to find what I need! A few requests: —When you take a photo in the app, you can’t choose which portion of it to display. You can zoom but not choose what area gets zoomed in on. —When you search for something (eg “mug”) and then click on one of the results to look at the details and then click the back button, it clears your search. Please keep the search filter on! —Would love to see a stage added between bisqued and glazed. Right now I get my bisqued items and sometimes wait to glaze them which means there’s no differentiation between things that are actively bisquing and things that are finished bisquing but not yet glazed.

This app is so great and simple for tracking my pots at my community studio- I now know when I put something on the glaze shelf and thus which pots to look for when the kiln gets unloaded, and how long it’s been since I’ve thrown a piece /how long I have before it needs to be trimmed! My favorite feature is the search, so I can search a glaze and see all the pots I’ve used that glaze on. This feature does need one small fix, though! It is case sensitive, so if I sometimes capitalize the name of a glaze and sometimes don’t, I have to search both capitalized and not to see all the pots. This is especially frustrating with glazes with two word names. It would be great if that change could be made! In a dream world, it would be so cool if there was a way to add friends on the app, so that friends at my studio and I could easily share glaze combination learnings!

I have had this app successfully back up once, when I was switching from an android to an iPhone. After that I have been unable to. I have nearly 1800 photos but I have plenty of backup space to dropbox and I have plenty of room on my phone so that should be a no-brainer. I have contacted Jess before, The creator of the app and she has been incredibly responsive, but as of late I have not heard back from her.

Am going to delete this app. It freezes on both devices and didn’t record my photos.

Exporting does NOT work!!!!! It goes STRAIGHT TO WALMART!!!! What DECEPTIVE measures from the developer!!!

When I try to export, I get an error message and the app freezes.

App is simple and love the workflow arrows approach. It helps u document at each step and also letting u know where u left off esp if a few weeks go by & u forget. It can definitely help you replace that old cruddy notebook.😀 Request: - Ability to add/delete “stages”

Needs: To be able to zoom in on photos To edit dates To be able to change order of photos To choose which section of photo is shown. But a decent start to the app. Hopefully there will be some improvements.

Looks like a really great tool for potters who throw exclusively. I’m a hand builder so it does not suit my needs well. Would be great if there was an option to choose between thrown or hand built at the start.
