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.
