Pros and cons of Bloom Coffee Timer app for iPhone and iPad
Bloom Coffee Timer app good for
The timer works as it should. My only complaint is that if you email a parameter to someone else who has the application installed (or even yourself), opening the attachment doesnt truly import all the data: it only imports the name, and you still have to go and add times and names.
I thought I would have to invent this myself. Now I dont have to thanks! Works perfectly.
Simple and practical. Perhaps a wee bit too simple. Some pulldown menus might make life a little easier. But otherwise a lovely little app.
great app, but would like to download more profiles for different types of coffee, as well as the calculation of the amount of water and coffee brewing time in automatic mode, changing one variable.
Some bad moments
Bloom is great for any of you coffee connoisseurs out there. It includes all of the respected brew methods among third wave coffeeshops (except maybe Café Solo, used by Intelligentsia).
It is very clean and minimal and allows you to set multiple sequential timers for different brew stages. Smart. Just what I needed.
I would like some sort of coffee weight tracking; if I buy a 0.5 lb bag, Id like to know about how many cups that will make me, and how many I have remaining (similar to "Tea" by Mac Tyler).
This is a great app, it is simple and easy to use. It has an audible alert in respect to the timer which is convenient. The only thing I would like to have included is a conversion table for the units this app uses (grams). Maybe in an update!
Highly recommend this app for any coffee fanatic.
This program has much potential.
How come you cant add brew methods? (use existing symbols or make more, please.) Allow us to add and edit the parameters of added brew method.
That would be ideal, Ill give 5 stars when these things happen.
Hope to see updates in the near future, but love this basic version for its simplistic usability.
Really gorgeous and the perfect tool for the job. I really love that I can close the app and get a notification when my drink is ready! The timer looks simply fantastic. Highly recommend.
Really easy to use, nice audio prompts allows me to perfect the timing on standard drinks or my custom creations.
