Fromage App Reviews

I love the variety and info, but agree with an earlier reviewer, how do I find the ones I have rated, with stars? Also not clear how to put them in favorite. Am sure I will use it anyway, as a resource.

Love the app as you can find most items or add your own. No crashing or other problems. But could be great I you could sync your library between devices! This is a must needed addition to the app. Would rate it 5***** if it had this ability.

Love this app, but in the search mode theres no option for finding cheeses by what wine styles they pair with. This would be ideal for wine lovers who would like to search for the right cheese to go with their favorite glass, but know less about cheese than wine. Sort of a reverse lookup feature, like the region option?

Perhaps a one-star review will be considered harsh, but lets look at two key facts here: 1) There is very little material in the write-ups on the various cheeses (telling me that a cheese is semi-solid is something I could determine by squeezing the package, thanks!). 2) This is not a database of cheeses, its a pack of index cards on a computer. In other words, if this appication used a database engine it could be useful even with its woefully scant descriptions. If there were a set of filters available you could, for instance, say: I want a list of all mild semi-soft cheeses from France or Italy that go well with the wine I have in my shopping cart. This app is not even remotely capable of such a thing. For what it is, I think .99 cents would be fair for this app. Three times that much is simply a ripoff.

The information and variety of cheeses is intriguing. Why no Monterey Jack?

A great almanac to start from and ability to add own cheeses. Would love it if I could compare notes with the general public and see what hey had to say. I also would like a "never again" button, like the "try/buy" so I will know never to get it agian and take it out of my search function forever! Love the app. Well done. Christmas was fun this year.

My reasons for giving this app only 3 stars are these. After a user has tasted a cheese and taken the time to enter their notes about the cheese the developers should display an icon in the left pane in the menu item of the cheese indicating that the user has rated and created a note about the cheese. You might consider displaying the number of stars the user assigned and display an e-Mail icon if the user sent an e-Mail about this cheese from Fromage. I do not know if every cheese in the world is listed but its likely that every cheese in the world is listed. The developers should allow users to add cheeses,entering the same parameters as the developers; Region, Milk, etc. An additional option would be to create an e-Mail Developers button enabling the user to send information on user discovered cheeses to the developers. Like many users I have this app on both my iPad and iPhone 4; therefore, I believe that most users would appreciate the developers adding an option to sync the user rating and notes on all devices. The developers have designed and delivered a very well organized and user friendly app that I like very much but I think a 5 Star app has to be very special. The features/options I have suggested would make this a really special app.

I would like to change or add a photo. User can include photo of a new cheese but cannot change the photo of an app provided cheese. I would also like a section for recipes e.g. Cheese plate combos.

Great app. Could use an index as a search option. For instance, why scroll through the whole list of cows milk cheeses when you want to get to the goats milk? Also, please divide US cheeses by region, so we can find local cheeses.

Bought this app and certainly shows and does whats it was designed to do. Would like the ability to increase the picture size and add notes cleaner, like specific wines users have paired. All in all a must have app.

I love that this exists. Could it be better? Probably. Is it still awesome? Yes. If I were to nitpick, Id ask for more ways to sort, filter, and search, but whatever. Its a fricking cheese app. Great pictures and descriptions.

Good idea, horrendous mistakes. How could "Queso Oaxaca" possible be from the US? This cheese was first made in Mexico. You cant associate a cheese to the US just because an American company makes it too. It is like saying that pizza is an American dish because Dominoes and Pizza Hut are big pizza companies. Completely disappointing!

When you click "send" the email disappears quickly into the top left corner. Please fix.

There are many cheese apps available, but this one, IMHO is the best by far. Not only does it provide basic info and color photos within its own cheese-cyclopedia, it allows you to add YOUR OWN cheeses and comments, and that is what it comes down to: do YOU like the cheese or not, and how would YOU describe it.

Does not make regular updates to the app; does not have a good selection or information about the cheeses.

it would be nice if you could sync the cheeses that you add and ratings of cheeses between an iPhone and an iPad

Horrible app. The links in the favorite tab dont work, rendering the entire section useless. The icons in the menu are pixelated and the overall design and workflow do not follow conventions and/or basic principles of mobile UX.

App claims to be functional on both iPhone and iPad. Works fine on my iPhone 5S (5 Stars). Not at all on my iPad Mini. Both running iOS 7.1.2. IPad version starts then takes you to a type of cheese. No menu. No search. No ability to get off the page. Finger swipe. Tap. Pinch. Tried every known trick, even reloading, no luck. Two stars for all iPad users.

I just needed something simple to keep track of all the delicious cheeses I come across. Would love to see a feature added that lists local cheese shops

Positives Extensive cheese list Note taking Search function works well Negative Navigating by types is very difficult The little selection dots on the right are not labeled Theres no way to expand or collapse lists Although you can toggle favorites on and off there is no way to remove the cheese from your favorites list
