Exactly. On the phone, the app wants a point and my (European) keyboard offers a comma, and it doesn’t calculate. If the app would accept both point and comma as separator, or if one could choose a separator, then I could use it. right now, it works for me only if pH is 7…

Susanne Fleig @sfleig.bsky.social · 09/02/2026
I love the idea! However, there is a bug for European users: some of us have a different separator (ph 7,3 instead of 7.3) - my keyboard does not allow to enter a point as separator. Could you allow both in the app (7.3 and 7,3)?
