5 Pills all upgraded and connected without issue. The new app looks great, easy to use, creating great brews. I never bothered calibrating every brew but now its so easy i will every time.

Constantly making changes and now glitches. Recordings missing and now uneditable in the app
Come on guys, you can afford $100 of Gemini 4 time to fix the bugs or write you a Kotlin based app. we're still seeing contradictory connection states like ble connected at the top and disconnected at the bottom the interface. the web backend needs revisiting as can't keep up wherever it is you've decided to host it. why not have some modes that don't need the sign in too given it often doesn't work via the web host anyway. why not offer to start a new recording when the last is 100days old too
unsable. I couldn't sign up. every time you go back to your email for the code it restarts the App. after 3 attempts I am locked out. it now says I have to verify or create a new account. there is no option to verify & I now can't use my email.
Only works after clearing the app data - every time I use it👎 This results in logging in and setuping up the app during every use. If I do not clear the app data it will just show a loading/working spinner forever. Horribly annoying.
Update: If Firefox is your main browser the migration of data won't work. you have to change your browser to Chrome and then do it and it should work. Even when you have done this it still struggles to pick the items via WiFi and you have to pres retry every time. Kegland no help at all, filled in a couple of tickets that were totally ignored. Unable to transfer data to the new app. It blames the WiFi connection. Totally useless. At least my old app is working.
After the forced firmware upgrade my rapt pill hydrometer doesnt work. No response to support ticket. Nooooooot amused.
Telemetry has less info and is annoying to use. Smart mode on the pill uses battery too fast. Somehow a downgrade from the old website
