Hi everyone,
As fellow spicy lovers, I think you’ll enjoy this!
I just launched my app, Scoville Heater Meter, on the App Store. We’re building the world’s largest spice database, and we aim to help you answer the question “how spicy is this” before you order anything in the restaurant or buy spending.
Please let me know if there’s anything else you’d love to see on the app.
Stay hot!

Yooo I’m downloading it straight away! Always looked forward for something like this
Is the SHU the average of the range for each pepper? Why not give a range, as peppers vary widely?
The fact that it doesn’t connect any data is a big win. Really appreciate that!
This coming for android? I would be interested for tracking my seeds — can you make favorites or lists?
Also look into sauceboss for your hotsauce app needs
How will new peppers be added? Community driven or will you just be adding peppers 1 by 1? Cuz either way would seem like a slog since you either have to to research into every pepper manually or sift through fake pepper submissions
Who measures the SHU? Which lab?
Going to check it out now. Thanks
Where did you get these ratings? Pepper X just received the record for a rating of 2.6m compared with 1.6 of the reaper. Your numbers are massively inflated in comparison
Thank you! Can’t wait to download. Question, Apple only? Android as well?
Pepper x 3.18?
This is great. I’ve been looking for something like thins. Thank you. Please continue to support this.
Buy spending?
Check out Chronicle, this, but for weed.
Nothing wrong with the idea, but without sources cited, it’s not useful or verifiable.
Scoville ratings are flawed to begin with. Time for a new standard.
Honestly seems kind of silly when you can just google SHU for anything and have it without the use of an app. I think if it was allowed community input, like rating the heat level of certain items at restaurants I would maybe use it. Just like a 1-10 scale so when Wendy’s releases ghost pepper this or bdubs gets a new blazin sauce you’re able to go in and see an average of how spicy people think they are.
Thanks for the input everyone. The majority of our products do not have Scoville units easily found online- it’s not simply a Google away. And yes we are implementing user generated feedback as we speak.
Data sources: backed by actual test results or simply scraped from vendor sites and publications?
Nice!
Definitely a good start, love the hustle
This is satire. Well done.
