Frequently Asked Questions
What is LatteArtist?
LatteArtist is a personal latte art practice journal for iPhone. It keeps your pour photos and the context you choose in one history, so you can revisit attempts and compare how a pattern changes over time.
What can I record for each pour?
You can save a photo and log the pattern, your own rating, milk, cup, volume, and notes. You can also browse past pours by pattern.
Does LatteArtist grade or diagnose my latte art?
No. LatteArtist does not automatically score a photo, diagnose a problem, or teach pouring technique. It gives you a structured practice record; you decide what the result means and what to try next.
Can I share or back up my pours?
Yes. You can create a polished Pour Card to save or share, and the app includes export and restore tools for your practice history.
Which devices are supported?
The current App Store release is for iPhone and requires iOS 18.0 or later.
