### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2025-12-01*

Very helpful, would recommend! It’s always helping me cook my food to perfection

### 5/5 — Absolutely Magnificent

*2025-12-01*

I now remember to take out the chicken and the potatoes instead of burning them both to a crisp. A must download for Christmas!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2025-03-24*

Fantastic app, very easy to use! The timings are clear, precise and super helpful whether you are cooking for one or hosting! Couldn’t recommend enough!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-03-18*

This app is amazing, so easy to use and you get perfect timings for your cooking. It gives you everything to need, including rest time required too. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-01-24*

If only I could change what time zone I'm in... Without it, all it's great features, like alarm setting and time calculation, are useless.

### 1/5 — Daylight savings issue

*2021-12-25*

Hasn’t adjusted for DST. Useless as a cooking timer!!!

**Developer response:** Try using the updated release, should work well now!

### 4/5 — Kitchen timer

*2021-09-12*

Basically very good. Only vibrates when action due. A buzzer would be better as an option.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, I think that might be a notifications setting for you to allow sounds for the app. Hope that helps and hope you find the latest release a big improvement!

### 2/5 — Not really finished

*2021-08-31*

Useful for creating a basic plan. Alerts don’t work. Pressing the button at the top left will clear your plan without warning.

**Developer response:** Try the latest version 2.0 which has just released, all the features you mention above are functioning perfectly!

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-12-25*

Time to eat doesn’t tally with time ready. Doesn’t remember timings if you set in advance.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The latest release fixes those issues and providing the app isn't force closed (can close and it be in the background still) then it will save the timings you put in.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2020-12-04*

The time is out by an hour. Specify the time you want to eat and the app decides it should be an hour later. Alerts don’t do anything either.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Version 2.0 released last week and fixes the issues you have mentioned above. Would love for you to give it a go and update this with any further feedback!
