I've completed two pre-packaged recipes so far, and have been mostly impressed with the finished product, but I'm still having tons of issues. . . Bluetooth won't stay connected after the initial connection, and when Wifi connection is lost, it requires deleting the device from the app and re-adding. I can't update the firmware from the app; only from the iGulu device itself (when I try to do it from the app, the firmware update screen tries to open but then closes). . . This morning my porter recipe completed, and the device switched to CO2/serving mode. I noticed CO2 pressure was around 6.5 PSI. I wanted to raise it to 8-10 PSI. This is when I realized that CO2 pressure can only be controlled by owners who've purchased the "Pro" upgrade. . .
This is ridiculous. I supported this company with a Kickstarter donation like 8 years ago, with the promise that I'd be able to brew my own beer, using my own ingredients. Then when I FINALLY get my iGulu, not only am I stuck with only brewing the 4 recipes they offer, and paying them for the ingredients, but I can't even manually adjust the pressure in the keg?! I'm excited to show off my "cool toy" to friends and family, but I will make sure to tell them NOT to buy an iGulu. Their lack of respect and support for their customers (especially their EARLIEST customers) is shameful. All early supporters should have automatically been granted access to the Pro mode. Instead I'm just another chump who waited the better part of a decade, just to be limited in what I can do with the device.
