Slush Calculator: Slushable

This app is basically ripping recipes from various websites and converting them to the size of machine you have. That's it. I was expecting a complete start to finish recipe helper, which this app is not. For example, I put in my machine and it just adjusts recipes to the size of machine I have. Nothing more. Okay, but what if I don't want to fill up my machine? What if I only want to fill it to the minimum it needs to run? It also doesn't tell me what mode and speed/temp I need to set my machine to, which is where most people get tripped up with making slushies. This is because different sugar types and amounts will require different temps to get the desired slush consistency. So there is very little help from me telling it my machine and I was expecting a lot more. I would have expected there to be a team behind this app who is actually testing these recipes on the machines to get the proper settings needed, but doesn't seem like there is. A lot of the recipes ask for puree, but there are no directions on how to make that puree. So again, not very helpful. Do I need to blend the fruit? Do I need to boil it or simmer it? How much fruit do I need to use to make the amount the recipe asks for? It tells you none of this vital information to actually completing a recipe. In fact, most of these are in the first step, so you really can't even get started on making a lot of the recipes. Another recipe calls for adding "Fresh mint infusion"...err, okay...but what the hell even is that? Has no instructions in the recipe on how to make this "Fresh mint infusion". Is it just mint leaves? Mint extract? If so, then why don't you just say that in the recipe? If it's something else, then I need instructions to tell me how to make this "Fresh mint infusion". No way to convert alcoholic recipes to non alcoholic. There is also no way to hide them and they flood the app. So you click on a recipe that looks really good, only to find it's got alcohol. This would be fine if it was just a matter of not putting in the alcohol, but because the freezing of the recipe requires different temps and sugar mixture depending on the amount of alcohol, it's not that simple to do. Makes me think this app is just a quick cash grab, potentially developed with AI assistance, as it's not really doing much more than converting the amount of ingredients needed to fill whatever machine you tell it you have. Then presenting that all in a somewhat pretty interface. Since all it does is convert sizes, I will just stick to asking AI to do that for myself. This app needs so much more to be truly helpful. 1. True beginning-to-end recipe directions, like how the puree is made. 2. True mode/settings needs based on the machine put in. 3. Recipe and interface adjustments based on alcohol/non-alcohol preferences. 4 Tried and tested recipes, not just simple conversions of recipes found elsewhere on the Internet.

I kept ending up with batches that were either too icy or basically juice. This made the sugar/alcohol balance make way more sense, and now I can adjust before wasting a whole pitcher.
