## Review summary

Users praise Artisan Bread Maker for strong recipe management with notes/photos, reliable scaling, gram-based baker’s percentages, and leaven-friendly workflows. Recurrent drawbacks include sourdough hydration inaccuracies and missing leaven hydration controls, imprecise scaling with a clunky slider, various UI bugs and display regressions, compatibility problems on older devices/OS, and the absence of cups/teaspoon measurements.

### Pros

- Robust recipe management with notes and photos for documenting experiments
- Easy and effective recipe scaling
- Gram-based input with baker's percentages for precise baking
- Leaven-friendly workflow support for fermentation-based breads

### Cons

- Hydration calculations are inaccurate for sourdough and there is no clear way to set leaven hydration
- Scaling input is imprecise (slider limitations) and precise numeric scaling is hard to achieve
- UI/bugs and data handling issues (difficulty inputting decimals, inability to remove an ingredient, occasional display regressions)
- Compatibility issues on older devices/OS versions (older iPads/iPhones struggle or show limited recipe data)
- Lack of traditional measurement units (cups/teaspoons) for users who don’t bake exclusively in grams
