Great potential
I love the idea of this app! I was sold with the description. After downloading and using it to create some recipes, the timers and alerts on my iPhone 6s and Apple Watch were incredibly useful! But I found some room for improvement.
A sync or share function would allow me to create recipes on my iPad and send it to my iPhone.
A pause function would also be useful in case something takes longer to cook.

Great App
Really useful app, especially for the big Christmas Day lunch that I'm cooking tomorrow (I've used it previously so have full confidence in it). Only other thing I'd like is to be able to synch the timer across my iPad, iPhone and watch, so I have the timing with me wherever I am. If that could be achieved I'd give it 6 stars!

Linked timers all end at the same time
Isn't the whole point of a multi cooking timer app to keep track of when to do each step so that everything finishes at the same time?
This app does that perfectly.
Others don't, they have multiple unlinked timers, this app links timers so everything finishes at the same time.
UI is slightly clunky but it gets the job done perfectly.
Thank you dev.

Solid app for sequencing cook times
Well-made app for coordinating the timing of many dishes to a single "ready to serve" target time. Supports multiple stages of each food's process, allows saving of repeat performances. Don't skip the tutorial, very helpful to orientation.
Just what I wanted
So many programs just do a simple timer but this aggregates all your timers so everything finishes together. Very flexible and simple.
Would be nice to set a time that you want to eat and then let it count down to there, but can't see a way of doing that yet.

Simple, but effective
I've used this quite a few times and it's worked well, though only for fairly simple meals. Just enter the cooking time for each item and does the calculations for you.
I manage much better with this app now.
Would be good if they could add feature to share meals with other users, but minimalist approach is much appreciated.

Excellent
Perfect for those big complicated meals where everything needs different cooking times or where there are many stages to a dish. I looked at several different apps which claimed to do similar kind of thing, but none had depth of functionality, nor the ease of use and streamlined interface of this one.
Really comes into its own for things like roast dinners, when you don't need to be in the kitchen the whole time, but need gentle reminders when the next dish needs putting in the oven.
This was a lifesaver when hosting Christmas this year. All the meat / veg / trimmings timed to perfection.
A couple of little tweaks would be great though.
1. Multiple end times within one meal for different courses (starters, main, dessert etc) so you can have different dishes on the table at different times, but need to be prepared simultaneously.
2. A pre timer alarm. For example, if you need to defrost something from the freezer long before actually starting to cook.

Great timer !
Thanks for the quick french translation... A nice features to add is the possibility to pause all the timers.
A seriously good utility for cooking
It does one thing and one thing well and is probably the best 'kitchen' timer on the App Store for cooking. Its strength is that it allows you to 'chain' timers together for individual meal elements (i.e. a Sunday roast with trimmings) and can displays the total (and element) times as countdowns or an ETA. It does require a little thought to get the most from it, such as working in rest periods for meat etc in the time flow, but over all a very well designed and functional little gem. Highly recommended.

Fantastic multi-task timer
Gives sequential steps for processing and cooking a specific dish within a meal while concurrently running with other dishes in the same meal. The ability to set the "Eat Time" is also a great advantage when cooking complex meals with multiple courses, dishes and many time-dependant and interrelated steps.
Best cooking timer I can find, with clear sequential steps throughout the whole process!
Only reason it's not 5 stars is because you can't set an eat-time for each course - but that can be overcome by setting a "serve" step for the starter of 20 minutes-or-so to tie in with the main course.
