Changed my life in the kitchen
I used to cook a lot until my wife took over - I wasn’t bad, just optimal division of labour. I tend to follow recipes (with a little flair). The hardest thing is timing everything to arrive at the destination at the same time. This app has really nailed it - simple to set-up and then press GO. You can track what’s done, what’s in process, and what’s coming up. With little timer clocks and notifications of course. I’m no longer intimidated undertaking a complex meal and can close the cookbooks very early and let the app do the rest (more or less). Well done!

Great app
No more burning the chicken while the potatoes finish cooking.This great little app takes all the guesswork out of preparing everything from a simple single pot recipe to a multiple course meal. And what really “put the icing on the cake“ is the prompt and thorough support the developer provides. As someone who loves to entertain, this has made my life so much easier and cooking so much more enjoyable.

A bunch of clutter
Luckily a couple bucks, but a lot of trouble and steps you can’t sort or move in edit menus buried in sub menus and timers that look like steps and vice versa. You become more concerned with planning and organizing your menu than just getting the cooking going or making a paper list. For me, it had a learning curve and didn’t work for my purposes. Maybe that’s just not how I work in the kitchen. Will delete so it’s not another timer app weighing down my screen space.

Great app for timing meals!
Does everything it says it does and more. I have just two recommendations for improvements:
- Share between devices and/or exporting feature. I’ve created a lot of meals that I would like to send to my wife.
- Identifying a step as active or inactive time. For example, if I put something in the oven for :20, I can complete steps for other items while it’s cooking. This will then give a more accurate completion time for the entire meal.
Those two items would easily make this a five star app for me.

Not useful for me
This is a competent interface and programming style but I found it ultimately of little use. The program schedules a meal so that all your dishes are ready at the same time. I like this concept but it is inadequately supported.
You can plan a meal by typing in all your dishes but there is no library of cooking times and you cannot move your dishes to new meals. As presented, every meal begins with new typing or awkward joining incomplete meals. Because you can’t sort or manage dishes your typed detail is pointless. There is little reason to not use simple event timer.
The programmer was very responsive and polite. I hope the app will extend with buyer feedback. This is meant to be honest and not harsh.

Great app - have been waiting a long time for this
Such a simple idea but very well executed. Have been waiting a long time for a cooking timer that tracks multiple dishes to a single fixed finish time. Thanks for making this app.
Very nice
So far I'm impressed with the app. Loading it up with my usual items to cook and will give it a try for a couple wks. Will update my review if for some reason it starts performing badly but as of now it's perfect!
Great
Used this for a complicated Christmas dinner, it worked perfectly.
Excellent app
I've used this twice now to cook Christmas dinner for 10 people. It makes it stress free! Well done on the app!
Great alternative....
I just joined the apple world and was aware of a great meal planner called cook it timer. Unfortunately this is no longer available. Luckily ear now have this app. It's everything I could possibly want in a waterfall timer. I would have one comment, make a lite version limited to 30 min max and one recipe so people can try it out. If you are looking for a cook it replacement look no further.
