Extremely useful, could be made even better – Massive Dev Chart Timer Review

Lets start by saying that from a usefulness perspective, this app is a 5. Keeping track of your time and agitation mid process is super helpful. Aggitation reminders are very nice and very useful. If you are on the fence about this, go for it. I found it worth while! Almost every step in the process is as customizable as it needs to be. I've given it a 4 as I think a few simple updates could make this app even better: 1. Make it easier to determine mix ratios for developer For those that mix things, like HC-110, just before use, the app assumes you are starting from a stock dilution (pre mixed type B for example). Make it easier to determine the proper ratios. It can currently be done by tapping the developer, then tapping dilution, then changing the ratio by hand, but you have to remember the dilution. This could be made more straightforward. 2. Show the aggitation marks on the progress bar Having little milestones on the timeline would make it easier to tell how your aggitation scheme will work. This would go great with my next one. 3. Make the timeline bigger While in sequence, have the active step timeline larger, spanning the full width of the screen. This would make it easier to read. I dont need to see my film type and dilution while developing. Put the name at the top, have the sequence steps as items in a list with progress bars for each. Minimize the progress bars for all steps not in process. 4. Have an option to prevent sleep while between development steps Between developer and stop bath, my phone goes to sleep. I realize i could change my sleep setting, but this would be a straightforward option that would prevent me from putting my chemically fingers on my phone mid development. 5. Put a brightness slider right in the app for "safelight" modes I don't print, but if i did, it would be nice to have the slider right in the app. It's still a brilliant app. These things would make it much better.
