  1. 3/5Sign in?

    I just purchased the app. I might not have purchased it had I known I had to have an account and sign in to it. I wish this was a self contained app. Other then that, I’m giving the app a try. I like the thought of all the glass listing with possible reactions and stuff.

  2. 5/5I love this App!

    I’ve been fusing glass for years and never really found a great way to keep my projects, photos and firing schedules in one place and easily accessible, until I tried Kiln Helper! I use it on my iPad, but it is available for phones and across different platforms. You can enter each piece as a new project, including information like date, kiln used, the materials used, and a firing schedule or schedules depending on your project. There is plenty of space for project notes as well as firing notes. When you enter a firing schedule a handy graph is also displayed. The best part is being able to add multiple photos for your project - no more firing schedules on paper while the photos are on the phone! Projects are displayed as either a card with a large photo or in a detail list with a smaller photo. The materials aspect is good as well. If you use Bullseye glass you can either enter a product number or scroll through a listing and select the specific product you want. There is also a description field if you used a material not on the list. It’s not a difficult app to learn although it did take me a little bit to figure it out. I had a couple of questions and contacted the creator who was very helpful. Regarding having to log in, I don’t find it an issue considering you have to log into almost every program you use that stores data. I highly recommend this product!

  3. 4/5Good but updates are needed

    I recently started using this program and I like it except for a few things: 1. It is absolutely necessary to allow fractions or decimals if one uses inches rather than mm, 2. After photos should always show up first. When scrolling through projects those are usually most helpful but it is always the first photo uploaded that is the project photo that shows when scrolling through projects. Either change that or allow users to choose which photo they want to show in the project list for each project, 3. Update the Bullseye color list, they are not all there (peacock blue for example).

  4. 1/5Sign up not working

    I just bought this application, but the registration does not work! Also, the ability to log in with the help of Google account does not work! And unfortunately, the application is completely unused and inactive without signup & registration! I wasted my money! Update: I live in Iran, but the Google registration system works fine here and has no problems! I am also enrolled in bullseye glass online classes and have been using their online classes with ease, apparently this problem only occurs with your app! I want to use your app and I don't need a refund so please fix this problem in the first update. Thank you for your attention and reply and I hope this problem will be solved as soon as possible. Update: It displays the following error. A network error (such as timeout, interrupted connection or unreachable host) has occurred. Update: After several decades of various sanctions, Iranian people have become masters of circumventing restrictions. I will fix the problem and enjoy your app! I am sure this app will be very useful. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  5. 5/5Excellent app

    Very helpful for keeping track of my projects and the little tools like calculating weights for volumes are easier on my phone than using my spreadsheet. The subscription is very cheap and I like being able to support the developer. I do wish there was a way to import inventory from a CSV. I’m maintaining it right now in google sheets and cannot imagine re-entering it all on my iPad or phone.

Versions

App Store

  • 3.3.0
  • 3.4.0

    Improved handling of Fahrenheit and Celsius templates. Better disclosure of Privacy information, required because of use of Expo managed framework.

  • 3.6.0

    Bug fix release. Squashed a nasty one preventing creating new records!

  • 3.9.3

    * Support for dimensions in Inches for our friends across the Altantic * Support for Printing out of Projects. * Support for Kiln controllers that you specify a duration for, rather than a destination temperature. At the moment, you still specify segments in the traditional method, but it will output firing schedules in the new format if the kiln record says so. * Another kiln type - 'Cress' * Support dates for firings * Don't insist on widths and heights being specified for pieces, if that isn't important to you * General tidy-up - screen titles make more sense now, and it's more obvious that you can drag segments and firings around to re-order them.

  • 4.2.9

    Materials Handling Keep track of the materials used to make your projects, including frit, stringers and sheet glass. Kilnhelper understands the complete catalogue of both Bullseye and Oceanside glass, and allows you to enter other glass types manually, should you wish. Glass Reactions For Bullseye and Oceanside projects, KilnHelper will flag any reactive glasses, and warn you if there is likely to be a reaction when you fire your piece. Firing Graph Annotations For Bullseye, Spectrum, Baoli, or Wissmach glass projects, the firing graphs will highlight appropriate temperature ranges. For example, a full fuse program might highlight the full fuse temperature range, as well as the anneal range. Photo Sharing You can now share a photo from your projects. Click share, and you can send the photo as an email, or message, or print it. Export Firing Schedules for Nabertherm Kilns If you've got a Nabertherm kiln with a 400 series controller, they can import firing schedules from a USB stick. KilnHelper can export schedules in the appropriate format to be imported. No more adjusting the last programme you used, or making errors entering your firings! New Kiln Types By popular request, Cromartie kilns are now available for selection. Printing Improvements Printing out your projects now includes materials, if you specified them. Bug Fixes As always... more bugs squashed.

  • 4.5.20

    * Sharing of your projects with other people, social media, or anywhere else you like. Sharing with other KilnHelper users will let them save their own copy, but non KilnHelper users can view it on the web interface. * Copying of Projects: If you frequently base your last project on something you've done before, you'll love this. Make a copy of your last project, and use it as a starting point for your next work of art! * Dark Mode: Is the all-white background hurting your eyes? Kilnhelper now respects your phone's settings, and if you're in dark mode, then it's a black background for you. * Support for Intelligent Kiln controllers: Starting with the Bartlett Instruments controller, KilnHelper can now tell you the status of your kiln, including temperature, and the programme step that it's on. It will even draw you graphs of the program that’s currently loaded in the kiln controller! * Additional Project fields for commercial use: If you sell your pieces, then we'll also hold on to additional information about the pieces to save you having to track the information elsewhere. Currently there are fields for Cost of Materials, Firings, Sale Prices, Labour Costs, who it was sold to, and the 'Status' of the piece. If you guys still need more, then get in touch! * Printing Improvements. You've always been able to print, but it used to look pretty horrible. Layout is much improved now. * More Kiln Types: Woodrow Kilns now have a place in the kiln list. * 'Swipeable' shortcuts on the Project List screen. If you want to delete or copy a project - you can swipe to the left on any project entry on the main list page, and some shortcut buttons will turn up to help you. And as always... a whole bunch of quality of life improvements and squashed bugs.

  • 5.1.1

    After a long hiatus, we're back with a brand new KilnHelper version. A lot of work has gone into modernising the app, but the user-visible highlights are: * Premium functionality now makes sense across all three platforms - IOS, Android, and the web companion app. Buy a subscription from either the App Store or Google Play store, and you can use the functionality everywhere. * The web application is much more capable now - it can do just about everything that the main mobile apps can do. * Logins make more sense, too - not only can you 'sign in with Google' on an IOS device, but you can now 'sign in with Apple' on an Android one. * We've overhauled the visuals a bit. Graphs are newer, buttons look better, the picture carousel is less ugly, and the bottom tab items now use native controls, so they feel more like they belong on both IOS and Android. And as always, we've also crushed a bunch of bugs.

  • 5.1.6 · 21 May 2026

    Sort Your Projects The project list now has a sort button. Order your projects by name, last firing date, star rating, or sale price — in either direction. KilnHelper remembers your choice for next time, and projects without a value (no firings yet, or no price set) sink to the bottom of the list. Smarter Striker Glass Warnings Warnings for Bullseye striker glass now match how each glass actually behaves in the kiln: • Gold strikers are flagged when a firing is missing the gold hold (645–670°C held for at least 90 minutes). • Other strikers, such as cadmium/selenium, are flagged when a firing doesn't reach full-fuse temperature. • Tint-shift glass keeps its informational gold-hold prompt. Under the Hood Updated security and third-party libraries for a safer, more stable app.
