Frequently asked questions

1

How accurate is SapCast™?

SapCast™ was created to help you save time when predicting when to collect. Many people have used the high and low temps to help determine when sap runs. SapCast™ used temps, barometric pressure, seasonal averages and even time of year based on your latitude and longitude. We try to be the most accurate one can predict apart from knowing exact soil & growing conditions in your area.

How do I install this app?

Maple Syrup Time is just like a normal app you can download on your phone. If you are an iPhone user, you can go to the app store and search for "Maple Syrup Time" and you can download it there. If you have an Android phone, you can go to the Google Play store and should be able to find it by searching "Maple Syrup Time" there as well. Right now we do not have a web version because we have found most people just want to do this all on a phone because it is more convenient.

How do I log in with my phone?

We decided to use only a phone number to log in. There are so many emails and passwords which make remembering anything really tough. So, we decided to use only a phone number. The app should stay logged in once you confirm your 6-digit code that is sent to your phone. If you have any issues logging in, please send an email to firstwhirl@gmail.com. Thanks!
