Acaia Coffee

Dear developers. Please, adept the screen as shown in the description of your app

I mean, what the heck. You guys got the best coffee scales out there, and constantly make new ones. Why not make a new app that could be as good as the scales? I got the pearl and have to have 3!?!? Apps. All the apps for use with the acaia pearl is horrible. Its like I’m flying a private jet and bringing along an old tuna sandwich from the gas station. Please use some time to make a new app that doesn’t look like it was made in the 1990’s.

Does not work on iPhone 7 plus / iOS 15.1

This should be the basic app that extend the usability of my Acaia Lunar? Why does it start in the social feed; which takes forever to load, and not in the remote scale? Why does it let me configure sort of half way recipes, that would be helpful if it actually presented to me while I brewed?

It’s trash not worth your time, very outdated, the interface of the app looks like it was made for iPhone 3G

This app is so clunky it’s incredible that it came from the same company making beautiful scales. It seems the company is not interested in putting out a better app. It would be great to just open source the app and let’s fix it.

I had no idea the app was this bad prior to the purchase of the scale. No excuse for app this bad when a scale costs $250. Will likely return the scale based off of how crappy this app is.

Can’t believe how terribly thought out this app is. And glitchy. Do better Acaia.

Refining your brew is much easier with this app: tracking the type of brew (espresso, pour-over, etc), the bean, weights, grind setting, ratio and so on is great. Rating your brew and making notes is also great. Having said that it’s a clumsy app with a design that looks about 3 iOS versions behind. Some features are very hard to find and very unintuitive, such as setting a new timing profile for a brewing method. I’ve also yet to discover a way to name the custom methods. In a word, the app is klunky. I’m hoping these folks take the Apple Human Interface Guidelines to heart and maybe book a UX help session at the Apple Developer Conference. They could turn this so-so app into an indispensable accessory for the scale. There’s also the Brewmaster app which is has a much better UI… but is missing key features found only in this app.

The Pearl is an amazing scale. Thought I’d check to see if the app provides any value add. Short answer, it doesn’t. The app is shockingly bad and I won’t be using it. Actually makes my life simpler as I’m tired of the “app for that” problem for all my smart devices. Having one less app makes my life simpler.
