Ratings and reviews

Seems like a massive missed opportunity for a searchable database on hops. Greatly missing the ability to click on flavour types and find similar hops sharing that characteristic. Can't even search for hop flavours, only names. Needs more fleshing out to be a functional app, otherwise it's just no better than a webpage. Edit: it's a good idea, just needs fleshing out like you say. For instance, when you use the filters and search for "pine" it also includes hops with "pineapple"

Great app. Informative. I would like a more self explanatory color code, but if you have basic knowledge on hops will not affect, even for a rokie . But besides that. I avoides you looking into many pages. The 2 tone green backgroung is cool for movement but does not have an informative effect.

I would prefer to see aroma, bittering and dual combined into a single list, but with filter capability to separate if required. Colour coding to identify aroma, bittering or dual when swiping through the list. Side-by-side comparison with aroma profile overlay would be good. A more advanced substitution calculation would be great showing which characteristics would change with a given substitution.
