But main goal of the program is not work properly. I did every steps exacly correct and on time. But I wanted soft eggs, result was hard eggs not even medium. You can fix this easly I hope. ### 1/5 — Egg Ruiner *2017-05-29, version 2.5* This app ruins my eggs every time. Water should not be brought to a boil with "large bubbles breaking to the surface" to then put your eggs in. This is way too hot to put the eggs in and leads to cracked eggs with the whites soaring into the boiled water. Not a way to start my day- definitely do not recommend. ### 1/5 — App deleted *2017-03-12, version 2.5* Absolutely crap, two occasions my eggs were undercooked, just hope I don't get food poisoning! App now deleted. ### 1/5 — Bir bile vermemek lazım *2017-02-26, version 2.5* Böyle basit bir iş için 65 mb tutuyo program. Rezillik. Daha da kötüsü işe de yaramıyo. Hangi akla hizmet böyle bişey düşünmüş acaba bu beyinsiz ### 4/5 — Great app *2017-02-11, version 2.5* This app actually works great if you're using normal sized eggs - you won't get perfect results the first few times till you get used to it. Other apps are too complex re. Weight, temperature, size etc this one might be too simple lol ### 3/5 — Looks promising, but *2017-01-23, version 2.5* It lacks cooking options in the phone app, and on the Apple Watch it lacks information, plus the timers are different from each other. It takes several seconds to start the timer too, even when it shows the time left correctly later. I just wasted an egg :( ### 2/5 — Wildly inaccurate *2017-01-17, version 2.5* Good design, but the times are way off. Also shuts off any music you have playing when you start, which is annoying because who likes cooking in silence? ### 2/5 — New version a real disappointment *2017-01-08, version 2.5* We loved the first version of this app, the simplicity, the humour. The new version is so disappointing. Why not offer both methods of boiling an egg and let users decide what works best for them? Really hit and miss with this boil for a minute and take off the heat malarkey. ### 1/5 — Awful *2017-01-02, version 2.5* Followed instructions to the letter left with disgustingly underdone eggs which has thrown off all my breakfast timings leaving everything else to go cold ### 2/5 — Wrong time *2017-01-02, version 2.5* Heavy app. Nice design. Wrong times, got hard boiled egg on soft boil time. Right time for soft eggs is 3min. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Egg Timer *2025-11-22, version 3.0* I used this all the time the new version sucks ### 1/5 — Egg timer *2022-03-04, version 2.5* Great app when working, unfortunately it now doesn’t even after reinstalling it. ### 1/5 — Crashes now *2022-01-11, version 2.5* Been brilliant until now but it’s started crashing constantly after the first blood time is completed and you press the go button. The app just disappears now at that point and eggs are ruined. Please fix as otherwise this is an excellent app. ### 1/5 — Please update the app *2021-12-26, version 2.5* It crashes after simmering time and is simply not up to date. ### 1/5 — IT DOESN’T WORK - DOESN’T ANYMORE!!!!!!! *2021-11-11, version 2.5* This app stopped working. It only does the first 60 seconds then has a bug and stop. The problem is Applé doesn’t check and doesn’t even want to update comments anymore, so there’s only 1 comment 4 years ago!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes, does not work *2021-11-06, version 2.5* The app crashes on the newest iOS. Do not buy, since does not work. ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-06-22, version 2.5* Egg wasn’t even cooked - sillly developers ### 1/5 — Sweet Jesus *2018-12-03, version 2.5* Whoever tried to make this must have scrambled their brain at some point I cooked hard boiled eggs with this timer and when I cracked it on the counter the eggs exploded in my hand apparently the person that made this app has never made hard boiled eggs in their life. ### 1/5 — No good *2017-10-05, version 2.5* Undercooked every time. ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-07-23, version 2.5* Didn't work. Egg still raw when timer went off. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-09-11, version 3.0* So easy to use. Love that it stayed on my phone when locked. The alarm sound is great, my children loved it! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2023-09-24, version 2.6* Flawless App, works as advertised! This is a much appreciated update as it solves the crash one the last version. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-09-18, version 2.6* Much better timer than the others I have used, works perfect and super simple to use. ### 5/5 — Only egg timer you'll ever need. *2017-12-07, version 2.5* Must have app. Well done. Would be great to see 3D Touch implementation for super quick starts... or maybe some Siri integration. People workout whilst boiling eggs right? Also can we get iPhone X support? ### 5/5 — Lovely App *2017-04-18, version 2.5* I thought I knew how to boil an egg. Well, you live and learn. Great and successful method, this little app is fun and friendly. Well deserved five stars in my opinion. Well done. ### 5/5 — Perfect eggs for me *2017-04-16, version 2.5* Cooked the perfect runny egg. One tip though, make sure your eggs are at room temperature before cooking. ### 5/5 — Perfect morning eggs! *2017-04-15, version 2.5* Now I can do my morning eggs with the targeted texture. No need to stay around and control the time any more. I love it! ### 5/5 — Cracking little App *2017-04-15, version 2.5* Simple, effective and very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2016-12-20, version 2.4* I love this app, I use it regularly and wouldn't choose any other app developer. 5* so easy to use and perfect results every time. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Eggsalant *2016-12-20, version 2.3* A totally eggsalant app. I use it everyday for my breakfast before work. It has changed my egg boiling ways. Thank you egg timer. 😊 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
