I use it all the time for their calculaters the app is very handy as well on brewdays.

I use the free version a good bit. Its very handy. Their license cost is bonkers though, compared to beersmith

I switched after beersmith lost all my data and recipes. It's really good, used to use their calculators along side beersmith during a brewday so the switch made sense. There's a few things it doesn't do as well as beersmith but overall Id recommend it. 15 bucks a year wont break the bank, beersmith is nearly 30 which doesn't include updates.

Beersmith is $21 and discount is also available.
For what you get with Beersmith I think its better software for example free addons for Braumeister/GF equipment profiles and 2015 hop grain and yeast varieties.
My data is backed up online using beersmith and carbonite for everything on the laptop but that costs extra

Just messed with a recipe there and it does look good. The step by step details are nice and clear. That said, I can print a one sheet brew steps view in Beersmith for my brewday and do everything easily from that.

I keep the documents folder of Beersmith on my Google drive for backup and also use over multiple machines, but it is a bit of a pain the way it works. I can see it nuking itself from high orbit if you're not careful.

The killer feature for me is inventory management. I track what I have through beersmith and keep it in sync after the brewday.

BF is a lot more wysiwyg and more user friendly and I like that label generator but I'm a retentive and if you can get over the the initial complexity of beersmith it has a lot of calcs built into it like equipment profiles and ambient temp of equipment/grain which works out strike water temp.
