Once you start a recipe and quit the app and then you come back to it, it’s like the app wasn’t even started at all !!!!! What a shame, because this had so much potential… ### 1/5 — We need something like this but don’t bother with this one *2020-09-12* There are no instructions with this so you have to figure out by trial and error that you have to write your series of timers in reverse order. Then again when you start the timer, it goes to completion without any bell or warning that your time is up. If I just wanted to sit and stare at the phone I could just look at the clock! So lame! ### 2/5 — Read all these reviews *2025-01-06* Just dropping a review in 2025 to report that the problems in the other reviews have NOT been fixed. When you enter a recipe you have to write in the steps in reverse order; it looks like you can drag and drop the steps to reorder them but it will not save, even if you click the Save icon. Then when you start a schedule, the app may or may not actually give you a notification, or it might just dump you back to the home page and you have to restart the recipe and skip ahead to the step you want. If this app worked, it would be exactly what I need. But it doesn’t. Look elsewhere. ### 2/5 — Definitely has potential, but has fatal bug *2023-11-03* Love the look and feel of this app, but some bugs make it unusable. Firstly, when making your own recipe, you cannot edit steps you have already created without them being duplicated. Deleting the duplicates instead deletes other steps. If you manage to get all of your steps into the app, they will be in reverse order. Sorting them works until you either go back to edit the recipe (jumbles the order completely), or bake the recipe (uses the jumbled order). Smaller mistakes: When creating labels for anything (name of step, recipe, or starter), it does not autocapitalise the first letter. When choosing the time of anything, the default is 0 in the hour column and 1 in the minutes column. This means that when you make a step that is a certain amount of hours, like 2, it will be 2h 1m unless you set the minutes to 0. You cannot do this until you have put in the hours however, because it does not accept 0h 0m at any point, even when editing. If these bugs are fixed, I would 100% use this app, it looks awesome and just what I need. ### 2/5 — Needs Some Work *2020-07-06* I love the idea of this app. While I can always set my own timers, I like that this has timers that should run right after one another. The problem is that it isn’t giving me notifications And, yes, I double checked that I have ALL forms of notifications allowed and turned on for this app. So, I actually have to go into the app itself to see how much time is left in a step. And half the time I find that the timer has stopped altogether and just get the home screen. I’ll definitely keep this app on my phone in the hope that some future updates will fix the notification issue. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2022-02-14* Nice looking app with easy to follow preloaded schedules. It’s downfall is with building your own schedules; you have to build in reverse so start with cool-down, then bake, then final prove…. It’s counterintuitive and unnecessarily annoying with no way to flip it once built. ### 5/5 — Great idea and design *2021-12-27* the timer/notifications don't work but otherwise the app is perfect. Please fix the notifications bug! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed. *2020-07-03* I had to mail in my defunct Smart Speaker for an exchange and wasn’t sure how to keep timing everything for my sourdough anymore. I kept over proofing or forgetting what time I actually fed it. This is perfect and so much better than my old system. Beautifully laid out and organized and I can’t wait to use some of my own photos and recipes in it. Thank you so much. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
