Great idea, poor functionality

Terrible app all it is is a timer and it does not work properly and freezes frequently

Response from developer

Hi, the app has just been given an overhaul of the design and new features have been added, like receiving notifications when leaving the app during a meal. We please give it a try again. Best, Kasper

Suggestions

I’ve been using the app for a couple of weeks 3xday.

I find it very helpful in slowing my meals down. I’ve even lost a pound or so just because I’m eating less as a result.

One thing that I find may need some work is to keep timer running regardless of what’s happening. A cal or a text which I don’t answer while I’m eating anyway seems to mess the interface. The timer circle disappears and your not sure what’s going on.

Ability to change colors of interface would be nice but not an issue: I suppose I’ll have to turn my airplane mode on while using the app during those precious 20 minutes.

20 minutes

Decided to give this a go for the first time, very happy after eating lunch. I didn’t eat all of it, felt full up, a great app to help with eating problems.

Not worth $2

Very basic app, you can make better timers with exercise apps. No signal to tell you to switch from eating to break so you have to stare at your phone- not a great practice for mindful eating! There’s also no way to log the duration of your meals so you can see improvements. Better off with another app

Love this app

Of all the slow eating apps this is my favorite. I love the ability to have pauses in between eating intervals to help you with eating less during the 20 minutes. I agree with the other reviewers and wish the timer would keep running while the app is in the background.

Worthless

There is no sound indicating when to stop eating and when to restart. App stops when you leave the app so the count stays the same. Waste of money.

Wonderful tool

It has made a total difference in my habits and I love it. Highly recommended!

There's a glitch

There is a bothersome glitch when you start a cycle. If you switch from this app to something else (home screen,FB, texts, etc), when you come back to this app the timer glitches out so you won't be able to continue or finish with the cycle. Do NOT buy this app as it has been a year since they've been notified of this and still no fix.

Great app

This is the best app I've found for helping you to eat slowly.

Not bad but...

Needs the ability to work properly properly when switched to the background.

I start the app and eat for the first cycle like it says. When the time is up, I stop eating and switch to another app. When I return the timer is out of sync.

Nice app!

I just wish it would let you edit the meal alerts. Also, it would be nice to have a suggestion of how many bites to take per interval and how long to chew. But overall it does motivate me to eat slower!

Great app

Great app for learning to slow down your eating. Cheap at £0.79 to customise to you own plan too.

Simply Perfect

Great app to help you get started on a healthier path. Many different options to choose from, meal reminders, & great cues in app. Totally recommend it.

Successful App!

Really helps access your "full" trigger!

Simple and wonderful

I eat my meals like someone is trying to take it away from me. I started off on the difficult setting and I find it is great. I can commit to the 2 minutes of rest and my food lasts for 20 minutes instead of 2! ❤️
