We just released our first app, TasteBuddy!
TasteBuddy is a highly customizable way to log items you are interested in. This app puts all the control in your hands: you decide what food or drink items you want to keep track of; you decide what qualities you want to note for each item; you determine what type of field your data should take. It can be as simple or complex as you want it to be!
We have tried other tasting apps which do a good job of enumerating every nuance of a particular subject. TasteBuddy allows you to record what interests you – in as much or as little detail, and in a manner that makes sense to you.
Just downloaded and started using today with the coffee we just purchased. Really like the preset categories- thanks. Only glitch is that the app shuts down when try to add picture. Will try other categories and revert back.
The name of the logged item is not showing up on the item screen. Just show the icon and the rating line. ?
Sorry for seeing this so late. We have bots posting comments on the website so often that your comments got lost in all of it. Hopefully you’ve sorted out the problems by now. If not, let us know and we’ll try to respond much quicker now. Thanks.
Hello, just about to start using TasteBuddy. Great app but unfortunate that it cannot be synced across my other iOS device. Will it be able to soon please?
Hi John,
Thanks for your feedback. We’ll definitely take that into consideration for the next update. Sorry we don’t have a timeline for that just yet, though.
I expected to have Category, like coffee, then be able to list and rate all the different types of coffee under that heading. I am not able to do this and it looks like l have to raise a new category for each new brand of coffee and rating?
Hey Adrian,
In the settings page of the app, you can create or edit a coffee category to track whatever attributes you want, such as brand, year, or location. Once you’ve set up the category, you can go back to the main page of the app and tap into the Coffee category and click the + in the top corner to add a new coffee. This new coffee entry will be set up to track the attributes you chose. In other words, each coffee you add will have a place to enter its brand, year, location, or whatever else you have chosen to track.
Hopefully that helps. If not, make sure to check out the Help page in the settings of the app for more info.
Thank you for the feedback!
