5/5Awesome app
Has everything I need to track!

Jacobe7439 · 5 Aug 2026
5/5Great addition
I’m new to freeze drying, so there’s definitely a learning curve for me, but overall the Freeze Dry Buddy app seems pretty straightforward and easy to navigate. I like being able to keep track of batches and pantry inventory in one place. One thing I would really love to see improved is the pantry option for bag counts. Right now, it seems set up as a simple 1 tray = 1 bag situation, but that doesn’t always work in real life. For example, I had a couple trays that needed 1.5 bags each, so 2 trays ended up making 3 bags total. I couldn’t really find a good way to account for that in the app, so my pantry count is off. Aside from that, it’s been helpful so far, especially for someone just starting out with freeze drying.

5/5I like what I see so far
I have literally only just scratched the surface but I like what I see so far. It gave me easy to read setting for the first thing I asked to do (bananas) I had done a few batches before but not as the settings that Brandon suggested. I am excited to dial in my FD and not waste my time.
