User Reviews

Pottery Log is valued for organizing notes, photos, and glaze data per piece with a simple workflow and strong search, plus an export option. However, multiple reviews note reliability problems (backup failures, data loss risk, freezes) and UX quirks (case-sensitive search, search resets). There are also requests for better organization (favorites, stages) and workflow customization (hand-built vs thrown). Until stability and these features improve, the app is useful but carries notable risks.
Pros
  • Keeps notes, photos, and glaze data organized per piece, helping track progress and reduce clutter.
  • Simple, intuitive workflow that effectively replaces a notebook and shows where you left off.
  • Powerful search to locate pots by glaze or name and view related details.
  • Export capability to share or archive pieces.
Cons
  • Unreliable backups and data loss risk (iCloud backup failures when switching devices).
  • Stability issues: the app freezes/crashes and export errors hinder usage.
  • Search UX issues: capitalization sensitivity and search not persisting when navigating back.
  • Missing organization and customization features: need favorites, better stage differentiation (bisqued vs glazed), and options like hand-built vs thrown.

So devastated - everything in the log is gone when I updated phones - it didn’t back up to the iCloud - just disappeared - five years of work gone

I love that this app helps me keep track of all my pieces and what stage of the process they are at. I have one suggestion though. I would love to be able to organize my finished pieces so I can easily find what I want, or have the ability to ‘favorite’ my pieces so I can quickly access them without scrolling through all my finished pieces.

So far I’m enjoying most features of the app and the ability to keep notes and photos of each piece together. It is so much simpler to be able to take photos with my phone and immediately organize, as well as easily compare glaze uses and combinations. A few issues I have run into: The thumbnail for each piece is automatically the last photo added. The search feature is dependent on capitalization. You will get different results if you search a word in lowercase vs uppercase.
