Best pottery app out there
Abba156b

Beeeeeautiful design! And super useful to manage all my pieces. Love how I can get it all done with just a few taps.


Easily customizable and very thorough

I’m so excited to start using this app for inventory. It’s well designed and intuitive, and I can add as many of my own materials as I want! And with photos of each stage if I want... this app is a potter’s dream. Plus I can even use it for my hand building, provided I document them at bisque stage. Thank you for this!


FINALLY a great pottery app

Awesome app! Very useful, thank you for the intuitive features!


Record your clay projects and history
TomPowers

I’ve been looking all over for an app that can record my clay projects and glaze combinations. Although not perfect, this one probably is as close as I would want it. If I could build my own I certainly would but alas I’m not that smart. The only recommendations I would have are that I am a hand builder and there is no option for hand building. Also I would prefer the glaze selection to have the ability to select multiple glazes and to be able to indicate which one was the first layer and which one is the second layer. Lastly, in a perfect world, I would have the ability to look up my projects by certain variables like, say, form or color of glaze etc. So when I need to find my favorite blue combo, I could just organize by blues. But I know it’s the first version so I’m sure there will be more options in the next version. Thanks for building it!


Amazing app for pottery
Tofiman

Wow, I don’t know how I used to make pots without this app. I would lose them all the time, forget which shelf or stage they were at, and not have photos of every stage for my Instagram. Thanks to this app, this isn’t a problem for me anymore! Woweeeee 6 stars if I could!!


Very helpful!

This app is exactly what I needed. It’s a great organization tool for keeping track of your ceramics! The best part is how you can add your own custom options (clays, glazes, underglazes, etc.) The only thing I’d suggest would be to be able to add the option to choose more than one glaze to the outside and inside of the piece. Also to be able to arrange the photos of your pieces so you can choose which photo is the thumbnail when looking through your gallery. Otherwise it’s a useful app!


So useful!

Love this app, helps me keep projects organized! Is there a way to sync from iPad to iPhone? Thanks


Love it but
MotivationEgg

Would love it if you could add multiple coats of glaze, usually I use one coat of a certain glaze and then another glaze on that :)


Seems nice so far!

I would like the ability to export and/or back up the information saved in this app. I would also like the ability to search -- both in the selectable fields and in the notes field.


Love this, clear & easy to use
parsley&dill

Thank you, your app is a wonderful way to catalog my pottery journey! Easy to use and I love how it tracks each piece through their journey. A couple enhancements that would be icing on the cake are iCloud sync so I can share my library across devices, exporting and selecting multiple glazes from the list vs single selection. Thanks again!
