5/5Master the 4:6 Method with Ease!
Based on your prompt, here is a polished version of the review you can use for the app store. I’ve structured it to highlight how the app translates complex coffee theory into practical skills. ## Master the 4:6 Method with Ease! ★★★★★ **The ultimate companion for your morning brew.** This coffee app has increased my brew skills and coffee knowledge by tenfold! Before using this, trying to track the math and timing for Tetsu Kasuya’s 4:6 method was a headache, but this app makes it completely effortless. **What I love:** * **Instant Calculations:** You just pick your coffee weight and flavor preference (sweet vs. bright), and it handles all the math for the 4:6 split automatically. * **Perfect Timing:** The built-in timer tells you exactly when to pour and how much water to add, which has made my consistency skyrocket. * **Worth Every Penny:** This app is absolutely worth the money I spent on it. It’s rare to find a tool that actually makes you better at your hobby this quickly. If you’re serious about pour-over and want to dial in your brews like a pro, get this app—you won’t regret it! Since you've been using the app to master the 4:6 method, have you started keeping notes on your different coffee bags in the app, or are you mostly using it for the timer and ratio help?

5/5I recommend this app to all my friends
It has been a while since I have used this app as I have been doing a Gabi Master A instead of a more traditional dripper. For pour over. But I am in Puebla Mexico, and having some amazing coffee at specialty coffee shops here, and I was showing the app to one of the baristas. And that is how I discovered the subtle changes. But I quickly realize that all I needed to do was to click the PRO option, and all of the details I would need for programming would be there. I learned the app very quickly, and am very pleased with it still and I highly recommend it. It is worth the price. If you are a coffee aficionado like I am.

5/5Easy to use & worth the $2 upgrade!
I’ve tried several pour-over brewing apps and this one is the easiest & most pleasant to use. The method itself is giving me great results, and I love that I can set one number & two preferences and the math & steps are laid out for me to follow. Paid for the one-time Pro upgrade & it’s worth it to be able to adjust ratios. I also appreciate that there’s a 3 second countdown after hitting start so I have a chance to grab my kettle. Only thing I’d like that this app doesn’t have (yet?) is a way to save a short history of my brew sessions. The average drawn down is good info to have but I’d like to be able to refer back to it later.

5/5Easy to use Hario method for beginners
Really helpful with a small hario to make a cup or two of coffee with a good method that extracts the right flavors you’re looking for. Really good tool for beginners who want to use a hario but are worried about all the different brewing techniques. Start from here, and you just adjust your coffee beans and grind size. I like a very coarse, pretty much like a French Press grind size. Grind 30 on an Encore. Start from here, master this with your Hario, then you always have a standard to come back to while you experiment with other pouring techniques that suit you, while still getting the cup of coffee that you enjoy.

5/5Great addition to 4:6 method
This makes it very easy to use the 4:6 method. App is well laid out, easy to use, and makes dialing in your brew very easy. The FAQ and help are very beneficial especially new to this method as I was. One of the best apps on my phone. Effective, simple, just like it’s supposed to be. Looking forward to the brew notes feature. Will make this 6 stars then. That will really help tune brew and coffee selection.

2.2.2
- Fixed an issue when updating FourSix from an older version to version 2.2.0 or newer with iCloud syncing. If you previously encountered crashes or the "Error Loading Data" screen on app launch, this should hopefully resolve that while retaining your old data (unless you already deleted the app). - Fixed a lag when starting the Timer countdown.
-
2.2.3
- Updated UI on Settings - Added link to follow on Threads and Mastodon. Check them out to see previews of new coming features.

2.3.0
It's finally here. SEARCH & FILTER. Want to find that one Note you made about a brew that really stood out, but scrolling weeks or months worth of Notes just to find it is a pain? Or maybe you just wish you could see all the Notes about your favorite coffee? Or all the Notes where you brewed a coffee from Ethiopia that you rated 5 stars? Well now you can! • On the Notes tab, there is now a filter button that allows you to sort and filter your Notes based on things like ratings or date. • Combine filter and sort with the new search bar where you can search for details about your Notes and find all the matches, and you've got a really powerful search feature. • Start typing and immediately see search suggestions. Just tap a suggestion to autocomplete. • Combine search tokens to take your search up a notch. Search for all Notes matching a specific coffee name, brewer, origin, and the text you added to your "Session Notes" and "Additional Notes" fields. • In addition to searching Notes, you can now also search and sort your tracked Coffee Bags! Use the same powerful search features as Notes. Search based on coffee name, roaster, or origin. This update also includes some more minor additions: • A new "What's New In FourSix" view that gets shown on app launch after an update to help users learn about new features if you're not the type to read these App Store release notes. • Added the coffee's origin to the list of information displayed on the Coffee tab. • Moved the "Add" button on the Coffee tab up to the top toolbar to be more in line with the UI of the rest of the app and Apple's suggested design language. • Some other small UI adjustments here and there.

2.3.1
• Fixes a bug where all new Note entries were being filtered out by default. • Moved the Step Interval setting to the Brew Pro screen to help clarify this setting only applied to Pro brews. Guided brews (even if you paid for Pro) are not affected. • Small UI fix to the What's New View for iPhones that still have the home button. ---- Changes from 2.3.0 ----- It's finally here.

2.5.0
The Pro guide just got its glow up. This update introduces a ton of user experience improvements. - All new design for the 4:6 Pro guide that makes it even more powerful. - Editing coffee and water values is quicker and easier. No more stepper as the primary method for editing, just tap and type. - By popular demand, you can now set coffee and water values to a tenth of a gram precision. The calculated pours will still be rounded, but this allows you to get more accurate calculations. For example, half a gram difference could equate to as much as 8-9 grams difference in water. - Redesigned charts, including a timeline chart to see how the water increases over time. - Set your water temperature, grind size, and selected coffee beans directly from the 4:6 Pro guide. No more having to set these values AFTER brewing. Now you can set them closer to when you're actually making those decisions. - Also, these values will now persist between brews and app launches, so if you've already got your brew dialed in and are using all the exact same settings, you no longer have to type them in all over again. - And finally, experimental coffee process options have been added. You can now record when you brew with coffee processed with anaerobic fermentation, thermal shock, co-fermentation, and more. If I'm missing any options you'd like to see, send feedback! More fields for coffee will be coming soon as well for people who love to record every detail on their specialty coffees.
