Formulair 4+

Groundbreaking App for Perfumers

As much as I love the old-school practice of writing out formulas (the simple act of writing out a formula gives me the luxury of time to really consider if or how I should add a material etc), but I am of the very new-school, need-it-done-now, gather-information-quickly, produce-results generation. This app is thoroughly thought out, from the ground up, top to bottom and side-to-side with every feature helpful in the process of formulating. Each feature exists for a practical and useful reason, and no feature that really has no practical use and serves no useful function is eliminated so you'd really have to be a dumb-dumb to fail using this app.

Side grip: I wish the settings were inside the app itself so I don't have to go to my actual phone settings to change advanced settings. But that's not even a bother once I figured out where those advanced settings were.

The only CON: both the app and my desktop version crash constantly when deleting material categories or deleting materials.

Developer Response ,

Hello,

Thank you for your comprehensive review, it's very much appreciated. I'm glad you're enjoying the app for the most part.

With regards to the crashes, I would be grateful if you could email me at sam@lux-terra.co.uk with more information so I can look into getting a fix implemented. Thank you.

Nearly perfect!

This is a great app. It makes the task of creating a formula much easier, as one can adjust weight modifications as you go along. Then, as you modify formula versions, the 'copy' feature also makes this a breeze. Evidently much thought went into this app. The few things I would say it needs is some aditional fields, such as 'Manufacturer,' which would better identify materials based on who made them. For naturals such as EOs, this would also help identify country of origin. An 'Image' field could also be great as often we can identify a material with an image. Or maybe an option to add custom fields, if possible, would take care of all of the above as we customize the app for our individual needs.

Sam Macer can live his life knowing he's left a legacy mark on perfumers of all levels by building this incredible program. As with anything there was a slight learning period but within a few sessions, one can wizz around this thing like a pro. It's truly remarkable and I'm deeply indebted to him, as I know many others are. If you're trying the free version, it can be fun, but I recommend just saving the few coffee shop trips to invest in the full version to truly receive the benefits of this amazing tool. Thank you, Sam!
