Einfach auf den Tisch legen, auf 5 stellen und den Becher drauf. Aber Vorsicht, geht besser mit den plus- oder Max-Modellen. Bei den kleinen iPhones ist die Heizfläche doch sehr klein und der Akku schnell leer. ### 5/5 — Does exactly as advertised *2021-08-27* A so called and I don’t know what to do do you want to know what time you want to get me out of the park so I can park in the park and park in the park with you guys all the time and I don’t want to lose you guys all the time I know you can park in park and park in the park park and park in the park park and park in the park park and park in the park park and park in the park park and park in the park park and park in the park park and park in the park ### 5/5 — Sehr nützlich, aber IPad wird damit sehr heiß ;-) *2020-12-22* Wenn man das IPad auf Energie sparen stellt, kann man mit der einen Herdplatte locker 5-6 Pfannkuchen hin bekommen. Problem ist nur: das IPad wird extrem heiß. Meine Empfehlung ist die App none Schutzfolien zu betrieben. 1. verschlechtert diese den Kontakt zur Pfanne und 2. kann diese bei zu langem kochen schmelzen und ruiniert dann die Pfanne. Aber alles in allem eine Top App. ### 5/5 — Cooktop *2020-05-26* This is really good app but it has been a little bit better ### 5/5 — Vorzüglich! *2020-03-20* Einfach großartig. Man kann seinen Kaffeebecher prima warmhalten. Mit einer Akkuladung kann man auch Spiegeleier braten. Wenn ein Netzanschluss in der Nähe ist, kann man im Grunde alles Kochen. Sensationell!!! ### 5/5 — WOW!!! *2018-06-27* This app is so great and convenient! The kids in the back of my car were complaining that they were bored, and this app entertained them for hours! This app even beeps if you touch the stove, so the kids only got 2nd degree burns! ### 4/5 — Super als Spielküchenersatz im Urlaub *2018-03-07* So kann das IPad als Spielküche herhalten. Schön wären noch Kochgeräusche. ### 5/5 — I cook my food *2017-06-06* Very tasty ### 1/5 — Schrott *2016-06-10* Für jemand der sein Akku und womöglich sein ganzes iPad zerstören möchte, eine super App👍🏻 Ich mein es is doch offensichtlich das es dem iPad danach nichtmehr gut geht... ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!! *2016-04-28* I usually don't write reviews... But for this one I HAVE to... This app works soo amazing. First off, it's a portable stove! I cook my food everywhere with this app! It's 100% FREE and works really smooth!
