BeerSmith 2 Lite

Every time I open BeerSmith I get the "upgrade complete, restarting application" thing going on. Running this on my Nexus 6P

Thanks Brad. App now works as it should. Lots of options and great for brewdays.

Thanks Beersmith, you made my brew day happier.

Makes it nice to have your recipes with you all the time. Brew day timer is great as well

Yes it is fixed. Your are a champion.

Great app, but every time I open it I get the "upgrade complete, restarting application" problem. On a Nexus 6.

Works well because my brew house is not near my main PC. Works great along side the full PC version. Only downside is every time I log in I have to change the settings back to Metric, they don't seem to save!

Beersmith for the PC is a program I don't know how I brewed without before and now the "lite" version for Android had become that as well. I put parentheses around lite because this app is incredibly robust and chalk full of useful tools for calculations and conversions. A must have for any serious brewer.

It allows me to see my recipes so I don't have to run back to my computer or waste paper printing them, but there are 3 major things wrong with this app: 1. It never gets updates 2. There should be a better system than this lite/pro setup. I already own the full fledged beersmith application on desktop, why force me to go back to my computer and re-cloud upload my recipe any time I need to make a tweak? Perhaps email address or key validation in-app could show who owns the desktop app and the "full" app

Works excellent on both my devices, Galaxy Tab 10.1 with CyanogenMod 10.1 and Galaxy Nexus 5. I create a recipe on my computer, transfer it to the beer smith cloud, and running through the brewing process with mash and boil timer on the Tab.

Love having this on the fly when I'm not at my home computer. Can mess with current recipes, edit, and create whenever I get ideas.

The most recent app has caused this app to frequently delete all of my recipes and settings. Really disappointing as it was a great app

Timers on Android do not work at all. I've traded a few emails with the developer and he claims to be working on it, I can't begin to fathom that a simple timer is that hard to code.

Great app, but no timer sounds after last update on Galaxy Tab 4

I'm a pc beersmith user, had the app since it came out, upgraded as soon as I could to full version. I wish we could have more than 15 cloud storage slots, us long time users have a lot of recipes to transfer over it would be nice to be able to do them all at once. Thank you so much for the hard work you've put into this program. Makes brew day a dream

Pure awesomeness!

It is my recipe editor. My ingredient shopping list. My brew day timer. My brewer's calculator. Most useful APP i have ever purchased.

Very useful even though its a lite version where you can only view recipes. Good tool to use when brewing, but I'm missing the possibility to set temperature when calibrating hydrometer.

I would love to make changes to my recipe without having to go to my laptop. I'd love to ditch the laptop, but can't without a full version. Otherwise, I love the program. I've had the desktop version for about 6 years!!

Think you can copy a recipe from your desktop through any other method than the Beersmith Cloud? Think again: you can't even copy a file over USB. I don't want to use the Beersmith Cloud, so this is basically just a set of calculators. You can get those for free in other apps. Probably quite useful if you do have the Beersmith Cloud. But not for me.

Five stars when recipe's editable. Cheers great app.

Locks up/Force quits Galaxy Nexus

Great app to go with the software.

This app will NOT let you view your own recipes from your computer unless you use the cloud service. If you want to use more than 10 recipes, you have to pay $15 for a beercloud subscription. What a joke. Rip your customers off by not letting them load the files locally. IT'S A TRAP!!!!!!!!!! He hooks you in with the $4 app, wont let you edit stuff, and then has the audacity to require you to use the cloud service to view your own recipes. The integration here is unacceptable. Word to the wise: Get BrewAide and use a Dropbox folder for your recipes. Works like a charm. I love BeerSmith for PC but this is a joke.

Makes for a nice simple way to manage your brewing without lugging the laptop into the kitchen. The timer works well and it's nice and convenient for checking what you're doing.

It is the best mobile brewing software and connects my beersmith recipes via the cloud. And it's only gonna get better when the full version becomes available

No more printing! Integrated timers! I have used Beersmith since the beginning nearly a decade ago and always opted to print my recipes because no app seemed to give me all the details I needed from my recipe. This is the perfect companion on brew day!

This is a great subset of the Beersmith 2.0 PC version. It has all of the tools you would expect to be used on brew day away from your desktop PC, and it fits the needs of both beginners and all-grain users. It will allow you to store recipes locally, and if you really feel the need for cloud storage and access, you can use the subscription cloud service offered by Beersmith, but it's free for up to 10 recipes. My option is that the cloud storage isn't worth it, but your needs may be quite different from mine. I would recommend saving the annual subscription cost for cloud storage and use local storage, or maybe Dropbox if you want free cloud storage. You will have to copy your recipe file from Dropbox to where the Beersmith lite app stores he local files. Contrary to what some reviewers have claimed, this is NOT a scam to get you to pay for the Beersmith cloud storage service. As I mentioned, there is both an option for local storage as well as cloud storage. The cloud may be easier to use, however, to keep any changes synchronized and in the same place. Otherwise, learn how to copy and move files from the PC or Dropbox to the Beersmith recipes folder and save some money.

Review updated to 4 stars. Thanks for addressing the timer issue! Have run a couple of batch simulations and am happy to say I'll run this exclusively on my next brew day. A few little quirks left, but it's a matter of preference and semantics. Great work.

Used it a couple weeks ago and it worked perfectly! I love not having to bring the laptop out to the garage on brew day! Having access to the cloud was just icing on the cake. Thank you Brad for another great product.

GRAMS. I still have to print my recipes to weigh my grains and hops.

I've been waiting for this for a long time. I love BeerSmith and this is a welcome companion. Looking forward to the full mobile version. Keep it up Brad!

Have to buy the desktop app and access recipes through cloud. Stupid.

Works well because my brew house is not near my main PC. Works great along side the full PC version. Only downside is every time I log in I have to change the settings back to Metric, they don't seem to save!

This app is great I can access all my recipes from my phone or table using the cloud. There is also great support for the app with fast replies to email questions. I appreciate all the help thanks.

This app is like the companion to the full blown program, much the same way as your phone is typically a companion to your full blown computer. I've used this on two bees thus far and it sure makes it easy to get that info quickly. Also great when going to the brewshop for ingredients. I can't wait until the recipes become editable!

Poor performance, and not nearly enough functionality at this cost. Registered users of beer Smith desktop should have gotten this for free. If it works well and had more functions would have been happy to buy it.
