This was an app that probably impressed me the most many years back, and the one app that I really missed when I moved from an iPhone to an Android phone (although it technically could have run on an Android phone). Tragically it seems like it is no longer available for download, but nevertheless, it is an interesting story about all the effort that went into making it.
To make a dream a reality, it’s all about ideas, visions and emotions. ‘Grillmeister’ is the result of one such dream. Smoke, fire and sizzling steaks – Till Schadde loves a good barbecue. As a passionate Grill-meister, he simply had to have a barbecue for his iPhone. But making a dream come true isn’t always as easy as it sounds – especially when your Barbecue is made in Munich and you have to meet the high standards of fussy German engineers.
The idea was simple: the app should basically turn your iPhone into a barbecue. But with each new build and iteration, Till and the team added new ideas and details to the app, building on the original idea. The final version of ‘Grillmeister’ gives you the full experience of grilling in your backyard on the iPhone.
