Re-installing the older version. ### 3/5 — Nice Idea *2013-04-05* I like the idea, but Meat 101 has more information and US names for cuts. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please update *2018-04-02* App was amazing. I stress was! Needs to be updated to work with iOS 11 ### 1/5 — Love this app but now it won’t open! *2018-03-30* I love this app and only used it a couple of times, after paying $4.49 for it, before apple software updates rendered it completely useless. I now get messages saying the app developers need to update. Please update the App!!! Otherwise, I expect a refund! ### 1/5 — Review *2017-12-09* Need it to be updated iOS 11 ### 1/5 — Uodate *2017-11-25* Can you update your app. It hasn’t worked for me in the last 6 months. And I paid for it ### 1/5 — Cooking timer allows only one steak *2013-07-28* Not good, the timer will only allow one steak at the time meaning you cannot cook different preferences at the same time. Ie well done and medium for example. ### 1/5 — Almost *2012-04-11* If you use the Australian names for meat it's good app. There's a lot of potential here. Otherwise, it's just a nice marketing tool for Vic's meat and not a straight up app. Do not recommend unless you live in Australia. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2017-06-11* I can't get it to start when cooking leg of lamb. The first bit starts but does not buzz and won't go to next strep ### 3/5 — Only half way there... *2016-07-17* Good bones but needs fine tuning.. Cooking time is estimate at best. I prefer using a meat thermometer. Most disappointing is the lack of support and updates.. No response from ask the butcher function. Seems it was created years ago and forgotten about. ### 3/5 — Could do better *2015-09-17* Needs to incorporate low and slow methods, how to ask for cuts of meat we see on British and American cooking shows etc. The "ask the butcher" function also doesn't work. No updates to the app for years - long overdue. This could be such a good app with some attention to detail. ### 3/5 — A few bugs *2014-02-16* The mass of the meat has limitations (eg.whole chick only allows up to 1.4kg etc). The dials sometimes can be malfunctioned. Also, once out of the app, the current setting is working but we can't go back to view the information while the meat's already cooking away. Otherwise brilliant app. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I've giving it 5 *2013-12-31* Options of metric or imperial, useful clear worded. Diagrams to show location of cuts. A very neat, well made up for anyone wanting to know more or try something new with proteins in the kitchen. Excellent. ### 5/5 — So happy I found this! *2013-06-10* Really nice way of organizing this info. It will certainly help at the farmers market when the meat sales guy (who just sells it but knows little about it) offers you the wrong cut for what you were planning on making. ### 5/5 — Meat Magnet *2013-05-04* Awesome app! Much better than last one, lots of details, tips n ideas. Perfect way to cook your meat with advanced helper timer. Very imformative, a must have, something i will use regularly. Great work guys! ### 5/5 — Meat God *2013-05-02* I love this App. All the info on meat is easy to understand and informative. The charts and cut lists are very helpful and the cooking timer is awesome. I nailed a perfect roast last night simply by following all the prompts. Turns a novice into a meat cooking expert in no time! Highly recommend this App. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-04-04* By far the best, most comprehensive, and most educational meat app I've found. A couple of differences in terminology between Canada and Aus, but not a deterrent at all. Highly recommended. ### 4/5 — App needs updating?! *2018-01-21* I love using this great app, but it won’t work with the new iOS 11 it needs updating please help!!! ### 4/5 — Apple Watch *2015-07-24* A great app. Would love to see parts of it, like the cooking timer, available on Apple Watch. ### 4/5 — Really a good and complete app, but yes you still need to know how to cook :)!!! Good job and thanks *2015-01-17* Complete and really helpful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
