I’m so excited to announce that the new Bramble Berry app is ready to download and use! The team and I have been working on this app for months, making sure it is easy to use and full of resources. Best of all? It’s free to use! Click here to learn more about the app, and click here to download on iTunes. Currently the app is only available for iOS, but may be available for other platforms in the future.
The new Bramble Berry app allows you to easily shop Bramble Berry from your phone. In the app, you can also access your Bramble Berry wishlist and check the status of your orders. The app allows you to browse the website just as you would on your computer. You may shop via the search function on the top, or via featured products and categories. Below, is an example of what the melt and pour base section looks like on the app. On the left is the general category page for melt and pour bases. Once you select “Bramble Berry Bases,” it takes you to the page shown on the right. From there, you can click on individual products for more information, or to add to your cart and wishlist.
In addition to easy Bramble Berry shopping, the app enables easy browsing on Bramble Berry social media outlets, including the Soap Queen blog. While browsing the blog via the app, you can comment on blog posts and email them to yourself to bookmark and read later. On the left, you can see that each blog post is easily accessible by scrolling. Once you select a post, you are taken to the post in full screen. See the little share icon on the very top right? Click that to send the post via message, email, Twitter and more.
Want to connect with other soapers on the Bramble Berry Facebook page? You got it! The app connects directly to the Facebook wall, allowing you to scroll through the inspirational soapy photos posted by the soapy community. Want more crafty inspiration? The new app also connects to the Bramble Berry Pinterest, Instagram and Tumblr page. Below is a photo of what the social media outlet navigation looks like. The images update automatically with new blog posts, pins, tweets, ‘grams and posts on the Bramble Berry Facebook wall.
Several of the social media outlets including Pinterest and YouTube have interaction limitations. For example, when viewing Pinterest you are not able to like or comment, and YouTube does not show our responses. We are aware of these issues, and are looking into ways to get them fixed.
The new Bramble Berry app also connects to the Bramble Berry lye calculator app, which is available for purchase. Having the lye calculator on your phone makes re-sizing and formulating recipes on the go simple. The calculator figures in grams, as well as ounces. If you have already purchased the older Soap Calculator app, feel free to contact info(at)brambleberry.com and we can activate the lye calculator on the new app for you. In the photo on the left below, you can see the lye calculator in the menu near the bottom. Once you click “Lye Calculator,” you will be taken to a screen to purchase and download.
So whatcha waiting for? Click here to download to view in iTunes. After you’ve used the new app, I’d love to hear what you think!
It’s been a couple of years since this post and I don’t see the brambleberry app (I do see the lye calculator app).
It would be awesome to have this app.
We don’t have an Android version of the app. It is something we’re looking into though. 🙂

Please for the love of soap, make this available for your numerous fans using Android!
Thanks so much for your feedback Janice! We will definitely keep that option open. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
Must have! I’ve got an android phone though.
That’s something we’re considering for the future! Thanks for your feedback T.A. 🙂

Is there an ETA for the Android version?
Hi Jay!
I don’t have an ETA for the Android version. It’s definitely on our minds though! 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
I was SOOOOO excited when I saw this!! Then couldn’t find it in the app store and came here only to see no Android love yet. 🙁 Hopefully soon???
Hi Rachel!
It’s definitely something we’re considering for the future! 🙂

I’m writing from the app as well :). REALLY love this app. I make all of my online purchases with my phone, and this makes my soaping addiction even more dangerous! love that I can access my wish list so easily. I’ve only been browsing 15 minutes or so, but I am getting my next order ready to go, and adding a couple extra goodies. Few problems I noticed: Search doesn’t seem to be working very well for me. For example, I type Tobacco and Bay Leaf (replenishing my supply of this wonderful fragrance oil), and I get the Domino Melt & Pour kit – nothing else :(. I’ve tried different searches, and pretty much same result. I had to go the long way and tab through categories, masculine, scroll down and THEN click on the FO. Same thing with Shaving Soap Melt & Pour base. Not a deal breaker, but search could use some love. May just be me though, I haven’t done the last two IOS updates. Also, the links within the text in the item descriptions don’t seem to be working. For example I click on a kit, and can’t check out the link to the tutorial on Soap Queen Blog, or I can’t click on Coconut Oil to see the item description. Again, it could just be me, but those links are a nice thing to have functioning. I LOVE that I can jump into the Soap Queen Blog though. I check there often and those evil-in-a-good-way articles have motivated more than a few purchases. All in all, I LOVE this app and will use it to make my next purchase (just as soon as Shea Butter comes back in stock). Thank You Bramble Berry!
Hi Rocky!
So glad you love the app! Also, thank you so much for your valuable feedback. Sorry that search and the links are giving you trouble. I’ve passed it along to our IT department. That way they’re aware and can get started working on it!
Also, you’re welcome! Thanks so much for your comment. 🙂

The lye calculator app is my all time favorite app. This seemed like a good place to ask this question though: Am I the only one having issues saving pictures to specific batches? My app and OS are up to date so I’m not sure what’s going on. I do know that I have a short memory for what went in each separate batch though so I hope the ability to add a pic comes back lol. It gives your be option, it’s just that nothing happens after? It’s always worked great?
Thanks so much for both apps!
Hi Amanda!
So glad you like the Lye Calculator app! Also, that’s strange! Sorry you’re having issues saving those pictures. I’ll definitely pass your feedback along to our IT people so they know and can get that fixed. 🙂

Another vote for the Android version of the app. Not all of your rabid followers have iphones nor want them. 🙂 Please have your soapy techs get started on the Android version soon! Thanks so much and congratulations on the current app!
Hi Bronwyn!
Thanks so much for your feedback! It really means a lot to us. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
bummer… are you going to have for android too?
Hi Lori!
At this time the app is only available for iTunes, but that may change in the future! 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
Another vote for an Android App.
Thanks so much for your vote Lori! 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
Add me to your Android waiting list, and pls hurry up, lol
For sure Patricia! Thanks for your comment. We are definitely keeping an Android option in mind. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
I would really love to use the app–they are so much more convenient. Add me to the list of Android users who would gladly download if you bring out an Android version.
Hi Rachael!
Absolutely! Thank you for your feedback. An Android version is something we are definitely considering for the future. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
Android should have been launched at the same time as the iTunes app … there are more Android phones out in the planet now than Apple, you need to keep up with trends and launch both.
Hi Sue!
Thank you so much for your input! We are definitely considering an Android option in the future. Feedback like yours helps us determine if that’s something people would like! Thanks again. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
This app looks super awesome and convenient! I can’t wait to download it!!!
It is awesome to see everything in one place! Have fun Cadence. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
Add me to the list of Android faithful eagerly waiting to be allowed to play.
Hi Kim!
For sure! We are eager to hear what our customers think, and whether they would like an Android version. Thanks so much for your feedback. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
Love this app! Easy to use, graphics are beautiful! Love that everything is right there in one place and easy to access and as Brambleberry is my go to place for soap supplies, love that I can now easily access and order from my phone when I’m on the go!
That is so exciting to hear! So happy you’re enjoying the app. I’ve been having a lot of fun checking it out too. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
I’m writing this comment on the app! It’s clean and easy to read without being too plain! I expect to be opening this app weekly if not daily!
That is so exciting! Happy to hear you’re enjoying the app. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
Definitely hoping you come out with an Android version. Apple products just aren’t worth the extra cost in my eyes. But it looks nice!
Hi Brandi!
That is something we will definitely keep in mind! Feedback like yours helps us determine if we should expand to other platforms. Thank you so much. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
Are there plans to make it availsble to android anytime soon? I don’t have anything apple.
Hi Louise!
We will definitely keep that in mind for the future! Right now it’s only available for iPhones, but that may change. Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
-Kelsey with Bramble Berry
I’m writing this in the app. Looks really great!! Love how big and colorful everything is. The only thing is that after a period it doesn’t automatically give me a capital letter. But I’m not sure if that’s due to the app. Is there a way to save favorite tutorials? I would LOVE that!!
Hi Martina!
That’s so awesome that you’re writing from the app! So glad you like the colors and layout. 🙂
Also, thanks so much for the feedback! We will look into the automatic capital letter. Also, you can share the link to the post and save it to your phone or other social media platforms. To do so, press the download button on the top right-hand corner!
