This isn't for iPad

I've just bought this app for my iPad as it seemed like a good idea but when I opened it I was beyond disappointed that it doesn't have a landscape orientation. When you're using an iPad with a keyboard this app is useless. Until it is developed with a landscape orientation I won't be using it.

Great app but alerts are not obvious enough.

I love this app. Nice interface and just what I needed but the alerts are not obvious enough. Could do with being able to customise the alert sounds with ones that repeat like ring tones.

Complete waste of money

Great idea but rubbish app - no way to say this is when I want to eat my meal and appears to make each new item dependant on the item before it. Completely useless

Under rated app, allows time for food to cook

Put in how long food takes from start to fin and it sorts out when to put meals in cooker or microwave :)

Perfect

With some creativity this allows you to replicate meals to perfection, it's a very underrated app in my opinion!
