Beersmith for iPhone?

I have recently switched to an Android phone, and it would be great to also see 'droid users in your plans.

I know it's already been said but I want to throw a little more support for iphone/ipad versions.  I LOVE the idea of thinking/formulating recipes on my desktop, picking up supplies with my iphone, and then using my ipad to help guide me through brew day.

Yes please +1.  I am an iPad and iPhone carrier and would love to see transparent functionality between these and my Macbook....Dropbox would work nicely I am sure.

I feel that the most key feature for any future app (which should also be available for Android) would be recipe database and inventory. Thinking about when you're doing a supply run those would be the two most important things to have at your fingertips. Basic calulations are also great to have on hand, as is a hop timer. But I don't see me using the app while brewing, other than for a timer. As someone said, too much liquid going around. But it's a perfect for on-the go, and even sharing recipes.

I have used brewing apps on both Iphone and Android phones.  I found  them to bee too small and inconvenient.  I don't use either anymore.  They were most useful while at the homebrew store to look up ingredients I needed.  They are not so convenient to do that.  They have been pretty much useless on brew day.  I usually have my own android beer tools handy and a notepad and paper.

I recently converted a my nook color to an android tablet.  This form factor is really the minimum for a brewing app.  I have a couple I play with but it would be nice to have beersmith on my android tablet and be able to sync it to my desktop.

I feel for Brad.  All these platforms are different and making native apps for half a dozen platforms is not a task for one person.

I would have to second this sentiment.  I still use the iPhone apps, but, would rather have it on an iPad instead.

I tried to do a search on this before just starting a new post and this appeared to be the most relevant, so I'm resurrecting it.

I haven't came across an iPhone brewing app that's convinced me enough to spend money on.  If it wasn't for the some of the reviews for Brew Pal, I would totally try it being just a $1 (I'd prefer to wait for his 2.0 version before I would buy based on his website and the reviews in the App Store).  I use to have some pretty good free ones on my Droid before I switched to the iPhone 4S.  Now that I recently bought the 2.0 for Mac, I certainly agree that it would be nice to have an iPhone app that works with the software on my computer.  It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have an standalone app of Beersmith with most of the functions that the computer version offers, but a separate one tailored for current computer-based Beersmith users would be nice too.  A portable version that can sync the two together (in both directions) would be quite handy.  I'd pay a $1 for an accompanying, complimentary one.  I don't own an iPad at this time, but that certainly sounds like a good option to have as well.

Just wanted to share my interest for one too.
