BeerSmith 2 Mobile Homebrewing for Android
Please make number fields number only, it's tiring having to have to change keypads for amounts whether it's grain, hops or anything numeric. They shouldn't let you type qwerty into them. Cloud storage is very limited. Otherwise pretty good once you get your gear setup
I had problems editing a recipe and thought the app was broken. Brad responded quickly and pointed out my error...my recipe had no ingredients. I added ingredients and all is well. Will update again once I've put it to use.
This app has cost me hours to make a beer that I will never repeat. Water use is way off and I'm told the developer is aware, but still that way. Way better than I'm ever going to do, an extreme amount of detail, but not accurate and where it's off sucks ass.
I'm not sure why I payed for this. I already own a disk copy of beersmith and thought it would be nice to have the tools/information on my phone or tablet. This version doesn't even have something as simple as the water needed tool! What a waste.
Used to work great but now having issues. All of my recipes are gone, even ones stored on the cloud. Also I tried creating a new recipe and the categories had trouble loading. Once I finally finished a recipe and saved it, I went to go back into it and it said "could not load recipe-remove listing?" PLEASE FIX ISSUES!
Great app!!! Does it all, scales recipes to your size and easy to set up tour equipment profile. Could use more ingredients under misc.....lactose and other flavoring additions.
I'm really unimpressed and want my money back. Claims to offer the ability to scale recipe sizes but doesn't have a 7.5 gallon all grain equipment profile. So fine, I go to create my own and extrapolate between the 5 and ten gallon ones. But there's NO WAY to actually CHANGE the batch size of a profile to match the equipment! DURR that's kind of the whole point of scaling a batch - to change its size. Why on earth would I brew only 5 gallon batch sizes in a 7.5 gallon system? And when I try to add the 2.5 gallon equipment profile I enter all the info and then it just vanishes... This app is broken.
I have used BeerSmith for years. Very powerful tool. It just keep getting better with every update. I highly recommend it
At 1st this app was a little intimidating for a rookie like me. I used the tutorials and now I could brew without this app!
Brad, need to update. Lots of hops a grain missing, crashes like crazy. Expected more from BeerSmith.
The developer is very responsive when help is needed. I use this every brew day and for putting together recipes. Must have app for my brewery.
I am having trouble getting my recipes to load.
No table sugar in stand alone carbonation calculator. No water chemistry. Buggy on editing water calculator is off.
This app was good, but all my recipes are mixed up and some have been lost. I tap on them and it shows other recipes.
Love this app. Would like to see a brew log option added within each recipe to adjust it and track each batch outcome. Add multiple session data for each batch.
Perfect, wonderful app, couldn't be better. Actually it could! Would be nice to be able to subscribe to the recipe cloud from the app....
This app is nice and useful, but I want to organize the "my recipes" list order, and I can't. :/ I'll add that 5th star when I can.
Easy to use and steamline designed. From the recipe formulation and ingredients lists to the tools, well worth the small invest to your brewery.
Weyermann malt was supposed to display in mash/steep instead of boil on 2.3.4
Excelent useful tool, why go anywhere else, its all there for grain brewing
Must have brewing software!
Excellent app, extremely useful on brewdays when there is no PC at hand.
Cant brew without it!
Great. Love what you've done Brad keep up the good work.
Love the updates and always use this app to figure out recipes. ????
Save your money
Dont have portuguese
Cant load hops?
Awesome app...thanks
So easy to use and the extras are fantastic.
This app is near perfect. And I use it on every brew day. A few things I would love to see... 1. Water profile manipulation like on the desktop version. Us millennials do not have PCs ☺ 2. Be able to choose what IBU calculation to use for each hop addition independently. 3. Be able to export recipes to a text file to share on forums. 4. Mash efficiency calculation. May be there, but it's not obvious. I like to see the trend of how my brew day is progressing through measurements. Thank you again Brad for a great product!
This is a great app for your brew day, as well as just pulling out your phone to design a recipe add the idea hits, or just when you're bored.
From recipe designs to brew days, this app rocks. Great for beginners and more advanced brewers alike
Love this app. Would love it more if I could export a recipe in beer XML and share it with the Grainfather Connect app ;)
I 'must have' tool for any level brewer
Cant change gravity, bitterness, or. Olor in the recipe section
Great for designing recipes, shopping & brew day
Just updated to 2.3.4. Now none of my recipes will load. Contacted Beersmith and they told me about a bug that had been found and fixed, but had not gotten to me yet. Then walked me through the fix. Excellent.
I've been using the desktop version for years and the droid version is almost the same as of Jan 2017. Having my recipes in cloud storage is very helpful, and I can edit recipes when away from my PC. The built-in tools are very handy as is the ability to add add'l equipment & ingredients (with prices for my local store, even) I couldn't live w/o the last parts, making it essential for customs recipes, calculating costs, and even finding alternative ingredients for experimental variants of my recipes.

Never saves my equipment profile, constantly having to readjust units to metric,every time I create a recipe and save it then tells me it cannot load and suggests removing it. I have used the desktop version for years but this app is absolute rubbish. Many other brewing apps available which are free and have no issues like this for the money I expected more I will be getting a refund.
