Reviews
Useful but getting dated

I use this in conjunction with the desktop BeerSmith application. It is really useful on brew day, especially the timer. That said, it is really looking dated. Hasn’t been updated for the screen size of current generation devices, etc.
Works great!

Love being able to view my recipes on the go. Transferring them via the cloud is simple. Would like to see it expanded for the iPhone 5 screen in the next update. Great app Brad!
Glad to see it finally here!

Works great so far that I can tell. BeerSmith has always been on the ball with their PC product, I don't expect any less with the mobile version.
Awesome companion app!!

I have been using beersmith 2 for a while now and this is just what I've been looking for. I can pull up my cloud recipes anywhere without needing a computer and the brew day timer means I don't have to leave my laptop near my brewing equipment!
Fantastic Tools!

I like the idea of the app and not necessarily having to drag out my laptop to utilize just a few tools and make adjustments during my brew session. The hydrometer adjust, refractomer % attenuation are fantastic to have at my finger tips.The reference tool along with all it's ingredients and data is also very helpful as well as the unit conversion tool. However, I would like to have a few more of the BeerSmith tools at my fingertips like the yeast starter, hop bitterness, boil off and dilution tools included with PC version. This is a great start and great software to make your brewday a lot easier and keep you on track. Keep up the good work and I'll be looking forward to the next release!
Love it.

Works great! I love being able to do my recipes on my computer put them in the cloud and be able to have a portable brew timer.
Better than I expected

I've used Beersmith for over a year and I'm still amazed how powerful it is and how much better my beer has improved because of it. I have been waiting for the mobile versions to come out so I can make more effective use of the Cloud. What is very cool about the app are the Tools. Even though you can't (yet) edit recipes, you can make mash & infusion calculations on the fly. That alone is worth the price of the app. Thanks Brad! Looking forward to the full version!
Just what I needed

Beersmith desktop software is great, and now this mobile version builds on it. I can access the recipes from y desktop, via the cloud, from my phone while I'm in the backyard brewing. And there are WAY more tools here to help me along when adjustments or measurements need to be made.
Awsome

Sooo, I like everything but the recipe screen. I love you brew sheet, and use it a LOT. Would love to have electronic version of it. Items I'd like on the recipe screen are check boxes, notes, collapsable sections (Yeast starter, Water, Grain, Mash, Boil, etc, etc. ) AND push notifications for brew timers, i.e . friday morning - Yeast starter for Sat brew. Export and/or sync back to my desktop for notes. Inventory push to the cloud, so I know what to buy when I go to the homebrew store. Custom processes sections, where I could just put in a list of steps for my brew system. Photo notes or url link to notes (Evernote for example). Anyway, well worth the $4, Thanks Brad/et al.
Nice

Lots of useful tools. Great ability to get your recipes from the cloud. I would give it a five star if there was a calendar sync as well. Maybe in time. Worth the money.
