Need a hand with Coffee Rater? Most questions are answered below. If you still need help, reach out to the developer at michael.hamburger@mac.com.
Where is my coffee data stored?
Everything lives on your device. If iCloud is enabled, your coffees also sync privately through your own iCloud account across your Apple devices. Nothing is stored on any developer server.
How do I sync between my iPhone and other Apple devices?
Make sure you are signed in to the same iCloud account on each device and that iCloud is enabled. Your coffees sync automatically.
I deleted a coffee by accident. Can I get it back?
Yes. Deleted coffees move to "Recently deleted" for 30 days. Open Settings → Recently deleted and tap Restore. After 30 days, or once you permanently purge an item, it cannot be recovered.
How do I add a photo or my location to a coffee?
When adding or editing a coffee, tap to attach a photo (you'll be asked for camera or photo-library permission) or to tag a location (you'll be asked for location permission). You can grant or revoke these anytime in iOS Settings → Coffee Rater.
Can I export my coffees?
Yes. You can export your entire collection to a CSV file, and you can share an individual coffee or a side-by-side comparison from the share sheet.
How do I change the language or appearance?
Open Settings inside the app. You can switch between English, German, French, and Spanish, and choose a light, dark, or system-default appearance.
How do I compare two coffees?
Tap the Compare icon on the home screen (it appears once you have at least two coffees), then pick two coffees to see their ratings and details side by side.
