Hello everyone, I discovered Benni botanicals using this forum a couple years ago and during that time, I've taught myself computer programming in order to build an app to help users track their usage, and also help with tapering gradually.
I'm currently looking for some beta testers to test my app on Android. It'll be on the Apple store in the next couple weeks, but my app was approved today for the testing phase.
Send me the email address you use with your Google Play account and I'll send a promo code to get the app free in exchange for testing the app. The way Google works is that I have to manually add your email to the testers and then you can see the app on Google Play since I'm a new developer. So shoot me a DM and I'll send the promo code and the link.
Also, let me know if there are any more features that would be useful in this app.

There's quite a bit of work that still needs to be done, I'm not exactly sure what some of those things are. I've been using the logging feature for like 3 months now and figured that in it's current state, it could provide a lot of use to people. There's a feedback feature built right in to the app that sends me an email directly, so I'm hoping maybe some others can suggest some features on how it could be useful for them.
- I'm still not sure how I want to implement notifications for missed entries, or how to make them as useful as possible.
- I did get some suggestions about adding a journaling system and allowing the user to tag or enter color and strain info in the log, possibly also with some sort of time schedule (I usually take green in the morning, and red at night).
I didn't know that Google implemented a new policy to their store somewhat recently for new devs, it requires them to conduct a closed testing phase with 20 users, and until that is done, searching for the app on the store will just show no results.
So if anyone has any other input, let me know!

That looks neat, I'd offer to help test it but I have an Apple phone. It's not too hard for me to track my own doses in my head for that day since it's always the same amount, but it'd be handy to have the history available to see if I have any trends of taking more or less. I think stuff like that is fun.

A mood tracking app I use sends a daily reminder if you haven't made an entry, but it lets you customize what time the reminder appears (or turn it off). I appreciate that feature since I can set it for a time I'm not busy.

I think what I'll do with notifications, is allow the user to specify their typical wakeup time, then if the app isn't opened within 2 hours of that time, they'll get a notification. I may implement a more customizable schedule later, but this will be the starting point. I'm focusing on that for the next update.
iOS should be released within 1-3 weeks. I ran into some unforseen monetary things so it got delayed a bit. Although I did just release an update for Android.
I implemented the ability for users to log doses by capsules and scoops, and the weight of those can be set in settings. Here's a video I made showcasing the new features.
