Tea for Negative User Reviews
✓ The App is NOT What You Think!The description is misleading. The 'Encyclopedia' does NOT contain Earl Grey or English Breakfast; you have to add them yourself manually :) what is inside the delivered reference is minimal; there is more info if you just Google it. As for brewing, there are no instructions at all (as in best time for each type of tea). Again, you enter the brewing time, and the app starts a simple timer (you can use Apple Clock much easier). Basically, an App that pretends what it is not. Save the $2 for a decent cup of yea elsewhere :).Version: 2.01
✓ Very disappointedNo Encyclopedia included which is the reason I paid for it. Just a glorified tea timer. Don't waste your money..Version: 2.02
✓ DisappointmentSince getting a variable temp kettle, I have been looking for a tea app that has brewing guide (temp and timer) and/ info. I've tried several apps but most are limited to company's tea selection. I wanted more of a general app that's got all the basic tea and blends as well as exotic blends etc. I think this app would be better if they categorise and subcategorise it. There's not even a simple green tea or green jasmine tea. The database isn't very big. Although it allows you to add your own tea but it's not really a guide..Version: 2.02
✓ Please fix!Where did my encyclopedia go?!? Put it back..Version: 2.02
✓ HmmmmmFor some reason,this app doesn't recognize any of my teas. Right now, Taylor's of harr. Scottish breakfast tea is not recognized. I would like to see what teas ARE in the database!.Version: 2.02
✓ CrashesI just purchased. When I tried to enter in my notes the app crashed. I thought maybe it was a fluke so I quit the app then reopened. Well, several times this happened. Asking for a refund. Wish it worked. I really enjoyed the rest of the app..Version: 2.02
✓ DisappointedDefinitely not 500 types 30 at most and I have to type all the info for the teas that I drink. Either update to include all major brands and types or refund my money !.Version: 2.02
✓ Needs More DevelopmentI added some teas on my IPad as it's easier to type on than the iPhone, expecting that these Teas would show up on the iPhone as well. They did not. I've tried every way I can think of to sync them but it simply won't work. Very frustrating..Version: 2.02
✓ So close to being finished…but not quite yetI am new to tea and purchased this app to help me track preferences as I learn my way around tea. The app is nice but lacks two very basic features. The categories are limited. One may choose “Black” tea. But there are no categories such as Assam, Darjeeling, etc. Also there is no category or search feature. That will not be an issue for me but a true tea lover would find the app fill with a random list of teas. Defeats the purpose doesn’t it? Lots of potential. I hope this is not an orphan app. Just a few more features would rejuvenate it and make it a perennial favorite..Version: 2.02
✓ Basically uselessThis app is basically useless. It doesn't contain the tea encyclopedia that it says it does. I haven't been one that his drank a lot of exotic teas in the past and thought that this app would help me by giving me a background on the tea, the amount of tea I needed to use, the temperature that I needed to hear the water to, how long I needed to steep it, and how many times I could reuse the tea leaves, but it does none of that. You basically have to look it all up and enter all of the information in there. Like I said, it's basically useless!!.Version: 2.02
✓ Update broke the appI've used this app for several years and would have rated it 5 stars, but the newest update broke it. Now the only quantity is "bag" rather than grams. Any true tea snob would only use loose-leaf tea. I also can't go back and change the rating in the history tab any more. I usually don't have the app open when I'm drinking my tea. I want to be able to come back later and input my ratings. PLEASE fix these things!.Version: 2.02
✓ App is awfulVery bad app, don't know why people have talked it up you have to type in every tea yourself. There are maybe 20 types of tea in it, not 500. I would like a refund!.Version: 2.02
✓ Looks nice, but shaky behind its nice presentationNice interface, but unstable: it'll crash when starting a new brew, and if it doesn't, settings will likely be reset. Timer implementation isn't all that great either: it'll work if you're looking at your phone or if your sound is on, but beyond that, chances are that you'll miss the timer. Tried my best to like it, but nope..Version: 2.02
✓ Almost there...If the individual tea notes were searchable from the main page (instead of JUST the tea names), this app would be near perfect! then one could search for key words when in the mood for a 'spicy' or 'fruity' tea!.Version: 2.02
✓ CrashSome nice features in this app. Being able to add my own notes is very important and this app offers that feature. However, every time I attempt to enter text the app crashes. So, for me this app is basically useless. Paid for junk..Version: 2.02
✓ Keeps CrashingI liked this on my old iPod but got it on my new one and it crashes when I try to type info..Version: 2.02
✓ Coming from a tea lover....This a really isn't well designed at all. Maybe it's because I use bagged tea mostly, but I found in incredibly frustrating to navigate and to actually save settings. From the description I thought that it would come pre-loaded with the information that you needed for the aforementioned 200 teas. Overall it isn't a good buy; glad I got it on sale..Version: 1.02
✓ Could be betterI like being able to catalog all of my teas, but the last updates seem to have broken the search feature. It also doesn't seem to have a settings menu any more..Version: 2.02
✓ Where's the information for each tea?Lovely idea. Nice graphics and user interface. But where is the information about tea?! When added a new tea I don't see what expertise the app provides? It seems to be a gorgeous library for tea ( as long as you have time to manually enter them all). Am I missing the point? An other cup may help :).Version: 1.02
✓ Basically just a nice looking timerDon't get me wrong, the UI design looks nice, but it's basically just a timer with the ability for you to leave a note. A tea diary? There is no info on tea! No origins to choose from (China, Ceylon, etc.) No styles to choose from (Green, Black, Oolong.) No brewing temp suggestions. No steeping suggestions. No tea vessel selections (Gaiwan, Yixing pot). Pre-steep rinse yes/no button… I could go on and on. What about using your camera to take/save/share pictures? I hope there are plans to add more to this app in the future. As an early adopter, it's an added bummer to see the price lowered twice already—and it just came out. For a great timer app check out Due..Version: 1.02
✓ TeaIt was a good app but now there is no Encyclopedia shown on iphone 5s.Version: 2.02
✓ Cool but needs moreI would like to see this as an iPad native app. I think the infusion time should be able to be longer (at least 30 mins). Also would be nice to have 'teaspoons' and 'tablespoons' as measurement options. But all in all its a nice app!.Version: 1.22
✓ Where did the add a tea + sign go?I added one tea and then the plus sign was gone???? How do I add more teas??.Version: 2.04
✓ Nice app, limited useLooks really nice, easy to navigate, but at the end of the day, apart from making a database of your own teas, it doesn't really do that much. Why on earth would you want to keep a record of the number of cups of tea you've had - or indeed find out how many "brews" you have left in the tea caddy? A nicely presented app, but of minimal use..Version: 1.23
✓ Lacks "archive"I have one significant gripe with this app: It lacks the ability to "archive" a tea from your collection when you run out of it. That is, if you're using the inventory tracking feature, the tea stays in your list even when you've used all of it up (and, in fact, the quantity will keep going negative if you keep brewing it!). You can delete the tea from your collection, but this also deletes all your history of brewing with that tea. I purchased this app because I wanted it to help me track my tea collection, but without an archive feature it's pretty close to useless for that..Version: 2.02
✓ CrashesCrashes whenever I try to edit the number of bags I have..Version: 2.02
✓ Good concept but flawedWhile it would be a good app to keep track of tea, it crashes regularly.Version: 2.02
✓ Crashes every time I add notesI purchased this as a tea journal. The interface is decent, but it crashes immediately after I type any character. I've reproduced this behavior many times without exception..Version: 2.02
✓ Good timerI'd like to see more out of this app. I appreciate the fact that there are brewing temperatures and an inventory tracker included. As a tea lover, I like anything from a really strong Assam to a Japanese gunpowder tea but I'd like to see tea serving suggestions. Or more definitively, recipes. Like how to prepare a good chai, iced sweet tea, etc. The world of tea isn't just one hot cup of earl grey after another. It's such a universal beverage that it would be a great thing to actually have more information included. I'm a fan of having information right at my fingertips through various apps, it would be great too if this app were more informative like an encyclopedia included about teas as well..Version: 1.02
✓ Not bad but needs a lot of workI find this a frustrating but nevertheless useful app. It is frustrating because it is extremely difficult to edit anything, including past events. For example, if you brew a tea for 30 seconds rather than the recommended 4 minutes, you cannot go back after the fact and change this in the log. Ditto for changing stock levels, etc. It is also far too cumbersome to get to the edit screen for already entered teas; typically it goes to the brewing screen for some reason. Also desirable is some sort of database or basic information, preferably with photos (perhaps in an iPad version). Right now it is really, really basic, especially for the price (essentially an advanced timer). Finally, please reformat for the iPhone 5 screen..Version: 1.23
✓ Could Be Better!I would come back and give this app five stars, if only it had an edit button. If you are finished with a tea there is no way to get it out of your inventory!! Also if you make a typo in your tea inventory, there is no way to correct it!!! This would be the PERFECT tea app, if these small issues could be fixed..Version: 1.21
✓ Where's the encyclopedia?!?!I bought this app for the encyclopedia function! I only have two functions, Tea and History! On the app store it shows an encyclopedia?! Plus when I go to app support it just reopens the app! Am I missing something?! Please help!!.Version: 2.02
✓ Time for an update!App worked brilliantly for years until I got an iPhone 6. MANY months later and it still crashes with almost every brew (especially if I try to attach photos or type brew notes). I'm afraid you have lost another loyal user. :(.Version: 2.02
✓ Random Tea PickerNice place to have all your teas recorded in one app. Wish there was a randomized tea picker..Version: 2.04
✓ I lovED This app .. But now...WAS An excellent app before they decided to remove the tea encyclopedia. Worked for me great in a trip to Japan , but now without the feature its kind of useless.Version: 2.02
