Perch Pot
Ratings & Reviews
Exactly what I’ve been looking for and without massive cost. Easy to use, customize with your own specs and information, and easy to navigate. I love how the list of projects sorts itself by production stage, it helped me organize my studio better to keep clearer track of the process. Thank you for this fantastic tracker!!
I so appreciate the free and straightforward Perch Pot. Compare to its competition, which is a $50/yr subscription (!!!) at least on Apple. So thank you - you are keeping the faith, brother.It does what it says it does, with a few minor glitches:- The notes section (large text field) continuously saves data; when it does, it periodically (every 10 key strokes or so) defaults cursor position to the end of the field. This makes it difficult to modify something in the middle of the field. - I work on an iPad and have not figured out how to modify and upload a data-save archive. So far, not a big deal for me.
Loving this app so far. I was using a combination of a notes doc plus different albums to try and keep track of what pieces were in what stage. This is so much easier, and reduces clutter in my photo library.One small improvement that would make it really helpful is if a setting could be added to auto update the thumbnail to the most recent photo. I’m taking a photo at each stage so it would be helpful for the thumbnail to reflect the current stage/state of the piece.
I’m loving the app but cannot figure out how to delete photos I have uploaded by accident. If there isn’t a way, there definitely should be! (Especially since ios does this whole auto select thing where many images can be selected with a single swipe, oops!). Thank you so much in particular for the tags and for the projects features! They are super useful!
Developer ResponseI’m so glad you’re liking the app! If you want to delete a photo from a given piece, you can tap on the photo to get the full screen photo viewer. From there, you should see a trash can icon at the top right, which you can tap to delete the photo. If you have any other issues or ideas, you can always reach out at support@perchpot.com.
Love this app. So useful in tracking what is in progress and for going back to recreate a certain look or stain. Only thing I would change is that I would like the most recent picture to sort on top of maybe that already exists but I can’t find how to change that.
I have been trying to figure out a way to incorporate photos into my notes for glazes and this is it! It keeps track of all my glazes and makes it easy to keep track of where things are in the process. Thank you!
