Acaia Coffee

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

It’s trash not worth your time, very outdated, the interface of the app looks like it was made for iPhone 3G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

You wouldn’t expect a premium device like this to come with such a low quality app. I only use it because I have to, but it takes the joy out of the experience.

I bought the lunar 2021 model thinking this would be a nice addition. But lo and behold I cannot make an account it keeps telling me app failed to register?¿? Furthermore I take it that this is only for pour over, does it do any other types of brewing French press arrow press? Having the ability to use and dial in for arrow press would be a ultimate bonus!! Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The screenshots on the app store are a lie. They show the app displaying on the full screen through the notch, however the app does not actually do this! I tested this on an iPhone 13 Pro, an 11 Pro and an X and all of them are pillarboxed. If your app doesn’t work as advertised on the very first phone with a notch then it makes me wonder if it ever worked.
