Bramble Berry Soap App just $1.99 in the Android Market
Do you want to be able to formulate Soapmaking Recipes wherever you are and not go running to your computer every time you need to make a change? Have you been jealous of our iPhone users who can? (Wait? You’re an iPhone user and you don’t have this handy app? Click here to buy it). Await no more! The Android App is HERE! The Bramble Berry Soapmaking Calculator will accurately calculate saponification (SAP) values for over 60 oils with superfatting ranges up to 20%. The calculator also figures out an estimated amount of liquids for your recipe. Program comes pre-loaded with 6 recipes (3 liquid soap and 3 bar soap). You can edit those recipes or make your own from scratch. Recipes can be saved and emailed. Our App works in grams and ounces and comes with a NOTES section for you to customize your recipes.
The Soap App comes with 3 liquid soap recipes and 3 bar soap recipes.
ONE: Enter your own ingredients by clicking on “Start a new recipe”. Then click “Add new ingredient” to enter an oil or fat to the recipe. Repeat this step for the rest of the ingredients. Before you save the recipe, choose a superfatting percentage and a yield amount for what you want your final batch to weigh.
TWO: Once your recipe is complete add any final notes to the notes section on the very bottom of the screen. Then click the “menu” button on your phone to save, discard or change your preferences.
THREE: Once the recipe is saved you can click “menu” again for more options and preferences.
Turn the recipe sideways for the cute note card feature.

Well, this is a start, keeps me from having to drag my notebook into the kitchen. I only work in percentages so this is really not helpful for formulating or recalculating batches, I still have to get on the computer or use a calculator to adjust the formula. Thanks for adding an Android app!
Would it be possible to add the option to create or store lotion recipes too?
Hi Heather!

Wonderful app, I just could not figure out how to switch from oz. to g. It sais it can do so, but HOW?? Thank you in advance! 🙂
Once you get the app open, click the menu button on your android phone. Click “preferences” on the very right. Then you can click on “choose a unit” by clicking on the arrow…you’ll see an option for US or Metric.
I hope this helps =)

Congrats AM! I work in percentages, will either app (Android/iPhone) be programmed this way in the near future? as well as offering soap qualities?
Working a percentages is super awesome – we do it at the BrambleBerry.com online big calculator right now – but to do so on the iPhone and Android apps would require a complete reprogram so it will be a while until we do it but it’s definitely on the wish list! =)
That’s good news for me and my Android phone! Does this app show the future qualities of the soap recipe, like lather and conditioning and so on?
It does not use INS values to show those types of things but we’ll put it on the suggestions list =)
Bought this last week, and used it all weekend long in my soap shop that doesn’t have WIFI! Thank you Anne-Marie from all of us non I-phone users!
Fantastic! I am soooo spoiled from mine. I rarely have to really plan my recipes too far in advance now because I always have my phone handy =)
Awesome! Now I just have to get an Android phone. 🙂 I’ve been in the market for one for a while, so as soon as I get it I’ll be buying this app. Thanks so much!
Yay! You’ll love having a SmartPhone. They really become an indispensable resource …
