User Reviews

HatchKeeper is a free, user-friendly incubation tracker app praised for its customization and useful features like fertility and hatch percentages. Users appreciate its simplicity and responsiveness of the developer. However, common issues include manual deletion of completed hatches, lack of logging for eggs that die during incubation, unreliable reminders, limited breed options, and absence of a backup/restore function leading to potential data loss.

Pros

App is user-friendly and easy to use for tracking hatches and incubation details.
Highly customizable, allowing users to add their own breeds and incubation times.
Free to use with no subscriptions or intrusive ads.
Includes useful features like calculating % fertile and % hatched and provides alarm notifications for important incubation steps.
Developer is responsive to user feedback and suggestions.

Cons

Lacks ability to automatically delete or remove finished hatch records; requires manual cleanup.
No option to log eggs that die or quit during incubation to accurately track remaining eggs.
Reminders or notifications are either missing or unreliable for some users.
Limited breed options by default, requiring users to add custom breeds for better accuracy.
Data backup and restore options are missing or problematic, risking data loss when changing devices.

Editing - I just found where you can add your own breeds and customize the incubation time, this is perfect. I cannot see how to add more candle dates. I tend to candle weekly, so adding in that option would be super helpful. This app is amazing and I am shocked it's free. It's much better than the other paid option I found.
