First time soapers beware. This app tells you to use around 20x the lye needed to make a safe soap. Do not use!

Not too bad. But no lard in oils list, cant save recipe, and cant change from grams to oz. after recipe is created.

They fixed the lye values, but this app is still pretty boring.

Doesn't calc ounces even though selected at opening

Have used a few times now for olive oil soap with good results :-)

I put in a recipe that I have run through 4 other lye calculators and this app told me to use twice as much lye for 7% reduction on all the other calculators I have used

This apparently is very dangerous. Do NOT use it. Find the brambleberry apparently. Its accurate!

It recommended 75.5 oz of lye in 5.5 oz of liquid for 20 oz of soy oil. No, I think not. Uninstalling

Why does it calculate over 400 oz of lye for only 8#s of fats?!

TaN. H. Feb 4, 2013

Does not calculate in ounces even if you select ozs. Does not have lard listed

Very basic but works great in grams

Love it

It asks if u want to use grams or ounces. The entire soap industry uses ounces. So I click on ounces. Then as soon as I select the types of oils I want it asks for u to input the amount in grams. Why? I input ounces, not grams.

Do Not use this app to calculate lye. Combo recipe of 16 oz olive, 8 oz coconut & 8 oz palm calculated that I needed over 130 oz of lye. This is completely wrong. This app should be removed from market until developers correct it immediately

Enter your oils, also I selected onces... but it switched to grams then keep freezing on me

Mor. R. Jan 22, 2014

The option to use the "ounces" doesn't work. App keeps shutting down while trying to add amounts which are only available as "grams"

Jen. Z. Jan 13, 2014

Couldn't get weight to change from grams to oz..wouldn't calculate recipe. Used 1 and deleted

A. G. u. Oct 19, 2012

Entered a 16 oz oil recipe and it equated a 58 oz lye amount with only 4 oz of water.The calculated lye amount is WAY to high. This app can be dangerous to people how have not done their research on how to make soap safely.

Even contains spelling errors. Recipes can harm you with improper knowledge!

A. G. u. Apr 7, 2013

The first time you open up this app there is a clear warning about the danger working with lye. DO NOT USE THIS APP! Lye Measurements are too much!

Sop. R. Dec 12, 2013

Stays in grams will not convert to ounces or use your superfat. Didn't have the problem with too much lye showing up. Not a good app

A. G. u. Jun 30, 2012

No option for lard as oil
