Tilt 2

About this app

The Tilt 2 app is the official app for TILT hydrometers. Use the app to log specific gravity and temperature data to the cloud such as Google Sheets or other custom cloud endpoint. We support brewfather.app, brewstat.us, monitor.log and Grainfather.com among others. (Visit their respective websites to get more information on setting up the app). You can also log directly to your phone or tablet and email a CSV to yourself or others. Note that when logging you will need to be within range of your Tilt or have a phone or tablet setup next to your fermentation vessel for automatic continuous logging. (Highly recommended!). You can also calibrate your Tilt and change units from degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius and from specific gravity (60°F/15.6°C) to degrees Plato.

Ratings and reviews

It works about 50% of the time. It can be doing fine and then all of a sudden it stops, then starts again. I'm using TiltPi by both bluetooth and web app. The bluetooth Tilt2 app works fine all the time as long as you are near the Tilt. The web app is the problem. Even the time zone keeps changing and some "Code-red" pops up instead of the normal interface. I about to just give it up and just use bluetooth.

The tilt really is a great device but, as others have pointed out, the app interface is a bit clunky. It's pretty troublesome to setup a custom log, but the default works fine. Personally, I always log to my Brewfather app and it works great. I also wish the tilt had a WiFi antenna so you don't need to leave a Bluetooth device next to it 24/7. My old phone has to sit plugged in on top of the fermenter, and the app occasionally closes while I'm at work. Overall, it's a game changer for brewing!

UX design is a step back from their previous app. I offer you my UX service for a new tilt or 2, trust me as a designer (and brewer) of many years it will be much more intuitive. It's hard to manage 3 tilts with the UI, the temp calibration seems to be missing, and working out what the secttions are for functionality is incredibly confusing. I love the tech and hope you take me up on my offer.
