Review summary

Users appreciate the app's incubator countdown feature and its potential as a hatching management tool, especially for chickens. However, many criticize the subscription paywall, lack of support for species beyond chickens, frequent crashes leading to data loss, and missing features such as editable hatch dates and reliable progress tracking. Payment and subscription issues compound user frustration. Overall, while the app is promising, it needs improvements in stability, features, and pricing to satisfy hobby breeders and small hatcheries.

Pros

The incubator countdown timer works flawlessly and is useful for users.
The app has a good concept and potential to be a great tool for managing hatching processes.
Users appreciate the effort and design aimed at hatchery staff and hobby breeders.
Some users find the app amazing and perfect for their needs.
The app assists in managing incubation and hatch dates effectively for chickens.

Cons

The app requires a subscription for continued use, which many users find pricey or confusing to access.
There is a lack of support for eggs other than chicken, with no way to customize hatch dates for other breeds like quail.
The app crashes or loses data at hatch completion, with batches disappearing and no record of past hatches.
Important features like editing hatch dates, customizing reminders, and tracking chick age after hatching are missing or inadequate.
The subscription system and payment options are problematic, with users unable to subscribe properly or unwilling to pay monthly fees.

2024-09-28	Al*****	Ok app but need to subscribe to use parts of it, keeps crashing when I try to set hatch date on incubator, not worth paying for and when my next batch hatches I'm unsubscribing

2024-03-21	Cy*****	I expected more. I can't see my past hatches, brooder room does nothing. It can't do any other type of egg other than chicken. I have looked at all the how to's and nothing works. I do like the incubator part. It is working flawless as a countdown. So one part works.

2024-02-02	Li*****	The start of what could be a great app. Need to be able to: Amend hatch due date (not all eggs hatch in 21 days) Customise reminders during incubation Assign different hatch dates and reminders to breed types - e.g. Quail as the breed has a customised hatch date and reminders. Not worth the money I paid, but I will keep using it.

2023-08-18	Do*****	I hatched a batch of chicks and used the free version of hatch master. When finished hatching I filled out how many hatched, the the whole batch disappeared 😲. Not in brooder room, I can't find it anywhere. Everything is blank. I figured I would go ahead and purchase it as I found it useful but the subscribe button doesn't do anything, my portal only has a sign in and when I did an Internet search of subscribe to hatch master there is nothing.
