Ratings and reviews

Timer is nice. I wish it was a lap timer because I have a fluid bed roaster and I change fan speeds. I have to remember to make notes in the comments. App is convenient and uncomplicated. Timer resets if phone rotates from portrait to landscape! That's bad.

A great way to keep track of beans. It would be nice to be able to use smaller units (oz/mg) as an option for smaller batches. Also it doesn't seem like you can change the bean type from your stock after you've saved your roast. I used the wrong one and had to correct it in the notes.

Poorly coded app with a lot of promise. Text doesn't fit nicely. And the biggest issue is the timer stops running if the app isn't open. That's just poor coding. It also removes the best feature, which is tracking your roasts. I really hope it improves.
