Ratings and reviews

There is SO much on the app and the best part is: you control it all. What do you want to keep track of? This app has a feature for that. Want to turn features off or dial them back? Yup, that's an option too. You can start very small and basic if that suits you or open it all the way and have all sorts of metrics to track! I've only been using it a day but it beats the rest I've tried by miles.

I've been using this app for months and it's been great! But since the most recent update my acacia lunar scale continuously disconnects and reconnects and is unusable. This happens about 90% of the time now, and I've even tried rolling back to an older update of the app with no luck (also i ended up deleting all my data by doing this, just FYI for anyone). The acacia scale connects to the acacia apps no problem, so think it's probably something specific to beanconqueror itself.

I don't typically review apps, but this one deserves it. I found it through James Hoffman's video, and it's everything I've ever wanted in a coffee app. I previously used Excel when tracking brews, but that lacked any data on the flow rate I get from my scale. Now, I have it all in one beautiful location. I especially love how customizable the parameters are so you only see what's important to you. Incredible app!
